RICHMOND TODAY AUGUST 2014 A CHEVRON RICHMOND PUBLICATION

A Win for Richmond BY KORY JUDD

We are excited to announce that the Richmond City Council voted 5-0 (with 2 abstentions) on July 29 to approve the Refinery Modernization Project. We want to thank the City Council members who supported modernization, and we look forward to starting an important project that will put more than 1,000 people to work. We also want to recognize the more than 11,000 residents, labor union members, business partners, non-profit organizations and Chevron employees who actively supported modernization, many of whom attended Planning Commission and City Council meetings to demonstrate that Richmond deserves a newer, safer, cleaner refinery. This project would not be possible without your help and support.

Un triunfo para Richmond POR KORY JUDD

Nos da mucho gusto anunciar que el 29 de julio el Concejo Municipal de Richmond votó 5 a 0 (con la abstención de 2 miembros) para aprobar el Proyecto de Modernización de la refinería. Queremos agradecer a los miembros del Concejo Municipal que apoyaron la Modernización y estamos ansiosos por empezar este importante proyecto que empleará a más de 1,000 personas. También queremos reconocer a los más de 11,000 residentes, miembros de sindicatos laborales, socios comerciales, organizaciones sin ánimo de lucro y empleados de Chevron que apoyaron la Modernización, muchos de los cuales asistieron a las reuniones de la Comisión de Planeamiento y del Concejo Municipal para demostrar que Richmond se merece una refinería más nueva, más segura y más limpia. Este proyecto no hubiese sido realidad sin su ayuda y apoyo.

This project represents a win for the community, our workforce and the refinery. Modernization as approved will mean a decrease in emissions, a safety program that far exceeds regulatory requirements and a $90 million investment in Richmond and North Richmond — commitments that reflect input from residents and represent significant compromises on our part.

Este proyecto representa un triunfo para la comunidad, para nuestra fuerza de trabajo y para la refinería. El proyecto de Modernización aprobado significa una disminución de emisiones, un programa de seguridad que excede los requisitos reglamentarios y una inversión de $90 millones de dólares en Richmond y North Richmond: compromisos que reflejan la respuesta de los residentes y representan esfuerzos importantes de nuestra parte.

We will now move quickly to resolve ongoing legal issues related to the original project by early 2015. At that time, and barring further appeals, we could begin construction, which will take about 18-24 months to complete.

Procederemos con rapidez para resolver los asuntos legales relacionados con el proyecto original para principios del 2015. Salvo que se presenten otras apelaciones, en este período podríamos iniciar la construcción, que tardará en completarse de 18 a 24 meses.

What Modernization Means for Richmond BY JEFF HARTWIG

The Modernization Project as approved includes significant community benefits that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve public safety and help put residents to work. As a result of working together with city leaders and listening closely to residents, the project now includes more than 100 conditions suggested by City of Richmond’s experts. These conditions will reduce greenhouse gas emissions, health risks and most criteria air pollutants. The project also implements important and rigorous safety enhancements that support our mission to operate incident free. In addition to creating more than 1,000 local construction jobs and 1,300 related jobs, the project includes a $90 million investment in programs to improve the quality of life for Richmond residents. These funds will support college scholarships, job training, grants for non-profits and an innovative series of programs to fight climate change. We will also dedicate 60 acres of refinery land to create the largest solar installation in Contra Costa County. The infographic to the right illustrates how these funds will be used and where residents interested in modernization jobs can find more information. For general project questions, call the refinery community line at 510-242-2000 or email [email protected]. Jeff Hartwig is the Senior Business Manager at Chevron Richmond.
