3 Chevron USA Inc (Richmond) 242,901 Expansion (Possible tar sands) Community meeting regarding BAAQMD "air quality permit application" and Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) (under CEQA) held Feb. 13, Once the Final EIR is issued, a 30-day statute of limitations runs on court challenges. While it appears that the construction permit application has been filed with the BAAQMD, it does not appear that a draft permit has yet issued. This project entails a hydrogen plant replacement, a new power plant replacement, a reformer replacement, and hydrogen purity improvements. This expansion would allow the refinery to use a wider range of crude oils." See It is unclear whether this "wider range" includes tar sand crude.

The extraction ("upstream") business is known as "FCCL Oil Sands Partnership," and the refining ("downstream") business is known as "WRB Refining LLC." See, e.g., ConocoPhillips 2007 Annual Report at 30, available at bout/company_reports/annual_rep ort/2007_ar.htm.

Together with ConocoPhillips' refinery in Borger, Texas, the company plans to increase total capacity from 450,000 bpd to 600,000 bpd, and increase processing of tar sand oil from 60,000 bpd to 555,000 bpd (that is, almost all of the two refineries' capacity will be devoted to tar sand oil). Thus, this expansion seeks to increase total production capacity of the two refineries by one third, and increase tar sands oil processing capacity by 817%.

This is a $1.9 Billion expansion that will both increase the refinery's capacity by 15% (to 115,000 bpd) and allow the refinery to process tar sands. The expansion includes a new coker, flare, hydrogen plant, sulfur recover unit (SRU), hydrotreater, wastewater storage tanks, boiler, cooling tower, and heater, as well as modifications to numerous existing units including the fluidized bed catalytic cracking unit (FCCU).

Richard Sandberg Marathon Petroleum Co LLC (Saint Paul Park) 70,000 (Possible expansion - Tar Sands) It remains unclear whether Marathon is considering an expansion of its St. Paul Park, Minnesota refinery in order to process tar sands. Reuters reported on July 31, 2007 that Marathon was considering tar sands expansion at its refineries in Detroit, MI; Robinson, IL; and St. Paul Park, MN (see idusn ). On Jan. 15, 2008, Reuters reported that Marathon had chosen to expand the Detroit refinery, and thus "not to pursue other projects, such as two [tar sands] projects... in Robinson, Illinois, and Catlettsburg, Kentucky..." See ?sp=true&view=sphere (emphasis added). Thus, while it appears that Marathon has decided not to expand its St. Paul Park refinery, the matter is not entirely clear.

Reg ). Comment deadline on both permits was Aug. 29, No air permit is apparently being required for this refinery. Brand new refinery with a production capacity of 15,000 to 30,000 bpd, and a footprint of 190 acres. Refinery would process "synthetic crude oil from Canada." See deis.html. This probably means tar sand oil. See also, the Federal Register notice at IMPACT/2006/June/Day-29/i5818.htm. There may be an issue in that the DEIS may have contemplated only a 15,000 bpd refinery, while the MHA Nation may be planning a 30,000 bpd refinery.
