Phillips 66’s emergency response partners are CalFire and the SLO Hazardous Materials Response Team. The refinery conducts annual facility emergency response drills that typically include outside agencies. Innovative Approaches This section discusses research or demonstrations of emerging technologies or systems for monitoring, modeling or responding to fugitive or unplanned upset emission releases. Participating refineries and agencies have been polled to voluntarily provide this content. No innovative approaches have been identified for San Luis Obispo. Identified San Luis Obispo County Environmental Health Services has noted its concern that the refinery RMP does not fully account for possible public risks due to process related chemical hazards. The present RMP addresses material storage hazards only, that are deemed negligible under present operating conditions. The District would like to see hazards addressed more broadly in the RMP requirements. On behalf of SLORHMRT, CalFIRE states their greatest need is adequate funding. The team does not have 24 hour response capability. Current funding for the hazmat team is tied to an established grant and agreement. The grant’s joint powers agreement, created many years ago, does not allow for amendments related to funding increases. Additional funding is necessary since growth in local industry has increased over time, but funding for the hazmat team obligations has remained stagnant. To achieve a more consistent and robust funding stream for hazmat responsibilities, CalFire suggested a possible modification to the health and safety code. CalFire and SLORHMRT would also like to have formalized memorandum of understanding (MOUs) with Phillips 66 modeled after the DCPP emergency response program. Currently, Phillips 66 is responsible for conditions at the refinery and CalFire is responsible for any off site consequences. CalFire feels it is important that this agreement is written into the MOU. Documentation documentation includes practices, procedures, and guidance prepared and maintained to address emergency response actions for an unplanned air contaminant release.
