ExxonMobil Refinery Proposed Expansion:Operational Review and Neighborhood Demographic ProfileLouisiana Democracy Project asked EBIC to examine the environmental track record ofExxonMobil’s Baton Rouge Refinery and also provide a demographic analysis of theneighborhoods within 2 miles of the Refinery. The ExxonMobil Refinery, previously knows asthe Exxon Refinery, is located at 4045 Scenic Hwy. in Baton Rouge, LA. It borders theMississippi River to the West and a densely populated neighborhood to the East with additionalrefineries extending to the north from its property boundary. The facility itself borders anotherExxon Chemicals America plant (4999 Scenic Hwy.) which is also a significant source of toxicenvironmental releases, workplace hazards and regulatory problems.

ExxonMobil is seeking a permit to expand its air pollution emissions at the Baton Rougerefinery. The company has claimed that even though the plant will produce more emissions, itsoverall operational effect on the environment would be make the air cleaner by producing a fuelthat would lower automobile emissions.

ExxonMobil is seeking permits to increase air pollution emissions at its BatonRouge refinery. But, the company says the cleaner gasoline created by the projectwill mean fewer emissions from cars. The refinery wants to make changes so itcan produce cleaner, low-sulfur gas as ordered by U.S. Environmental ProtectionAgency rules for 2004 model year cars and trucks. The new gasoline will meanthat each year, vehicles in Baton Rouge's five-parish area will produce 2,238fewer tons of nitrogen oxides and 842 fewer tons of volatile organic compounds.The new fuel will work in older cars, too.

EBIC examined governmental document records regarding this facility’s operations and activitiesin order to assess the plants current environmental impact, its record of compliance withenvironmental regulations and any apparent workplace safety problems. We found that thefacility has a history of violations of environmental laws regulating hazardous waste handling. The facility has had multiple workplace safety violations and numerous fatalities. In addition thefacility has had numerous accidental spills and releases of toxic chemicals. We also concludedthat the facility was producing a large quantity of toxic chemical waste which was being releasedinto the environment in a densely populated, predominantly African American community.

Table I

Discussion:

The facility’s operational safety and performance are covered in the order as follows: RCRAcompliance, hazardous materials spills, routine chemical emissions, chemical hazard healthissues, workplace safety, and neighborhood demographic profile.

Problems with RCRA compliance:Resource Recovery and Conservation Act regulations control the handling, storage and disposalof hazardous waste. Government records indicate at least 11 violations of RCRA permits at3329, 4045 and 4999 Scenic Highway.

Problems with Hazardous Materials Spills and other accidental releases:Facility operations have resulted in spills too numerous to list here. Federal records make itdifficult to pinpoint the actual location of a given spill. In addition, reported spills typicallycontain different units of measure characterizing the size of the spill. These reports often appearto understate the size of the spill. These factors make it difficult to specify with any certainty thedegree of risk posed by a reported incident. There is nonetheless substantial information toindicate a potential threat to workplace and public health and safety from accidental spills duringthe operation of the refinery and adjacent chemical plant.

EPA records compiled under the Emergency Response Notification System (ERNS) cover 1248incidents between 1987 and 1997 in which an accidental spill or release was reported at Exxonfacilities in Baton Rouge, including the refinery and chemical plants on Scenic Highway, theplastics plant on Scotlandville-Zachary, the ExxonMobil Dock areas and other propertiesapparently controlled by ExxonMobil in Baton Rouge.

Approximately 836 of those emergency response notification records appear to describe spillsassociated with operations at the refinery, the adjacent chemical complex and the docks on ornear 4045-4999 Scenic Highway. Of those, 7.1% (59 out of 836) were recorded by the numberof barrels of chemicals spilled (16,556 barrels). 16.1% (135/836) of these releases were reportedby the number of gallons spilled (5,535 gallons). 54.5% (456/836) of the 836 releases reportedwere recorded by the number of pounds spilled (1,470,840 pounds). This works out to beroughly 750,000 gallons of spilled chemicals reported over 11 years.

127 of the 836 reported accidental spills at the ExxonMobil Refinery complex reportedlyinvolved the substance Benzene . Of those releases, 1 barrel plus 836 gallons, and an additional12,696 pounds of Benzene were reported spilled under the ERN. This works out to beapproximately 1300 gallons of spilled benzene. Another database, the Accidental ReleaseInformation Program (ARIP) lists accidental release incidents involving 710,977 pounds ofchemicals. 600 pounds of that amount is listed as Benzene. While it is unclear whether any ofthe releases recorded by ARIP were also reported under the ERN, the simple fact is that theseaccidents and their persistence clearly indicate that plant operations pose and ongoing threat toworkplace and public health and safety.

Routine Toxic Chemical Releases:The ExxonMobil Refinery releases large amounts of toxic chemicals every year into theenvironment. The most immediate release medium for nearby residents is probably non-stackair, meaning emissions that leave the plant at or near ground level. Other release mediums maybe of importance to residents as well but this type of release presents the greatest risk in terms ofboth emergency release situations and in terms of chronic long term exposure for the nearbypopulation.

Exxon’s Refinery released 5,645,686 lbs of toxic chemicals into the environment in 1999. Exxon’s Chemical Plant released 2,097,608 lbs of toxic chemicals into the environment in 1999. Between 1987 and 1999, the ExxonMobil Refinery and Chemical plants at 4045 and 4999 ScenicHighway, Baton Rouge released 32,579,462 pounds of fugitive air emissions, 21,100,255 poundsof stack air emissions, 68,422,655 pounds emissions to waterways, and 2,353,250 pounds toother media. That gives a total over 13 years of 124,455,622 pounds of reported toxic chemicalemissions from these facilities, 25% of which, as fugitive emissions, pose a substantial risk tonearby people because they could drift in and through their neighborhoods.

The top ranked chemical releases from the refinery in terms of health risk are Benzene, which isknown to cause Leukemia and Lead which causes neurological damage and a number of othernegative health effects. TRI records indicate a total of 20,002 lbs of lead were released from1987 to 1999, 395 of those pounds as fugitive air emissions. TRI records indicate a total of3,081,556 total pounds of benzene were reportedly released between 1987 and 1999 with1,507,182 pounds as fugitive air emissions. Appendices IV through VIII contain information onroutine emissions of toxic chemicals and some of those chemicals toxicity. Below is an extractfrom one of those documents describing the toxicity of Benzene.

HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATIONAcute Health EffectsThe following acute (short-term) health effects may occurimmediately or shortly after exposure to Benzene:* Benzene can irritate the eyes and skin.* Exposure can irritate the nose and throat.* Benzene can cause symptoms of dizziness,lightheadedness, headache and vomiting. Convulsionsand coma, or sudden death from irregular heart beat, may

follow high exposure.Chronic Health EffectsThe following chronic (long-term) health effects can occur atsome time after exposure to Benzene and can last for monthsor years:Cancer Hazard* Benzene is a CARCINOGEN in humans. It has been shownto cause leukemia.* Many scientists believe there is no safe level of exposureto a carcinogen.Reproductive Hazard* There is limited evidence that Benzene is a teratogen inanimals. Until further testing has been done, it should betreated as a possible teratogen in humans.Other Long-Term Effects* Benzene can cause drying and scaling of the skin.* Repeated exposure can cause damage to the blood cells(aplastic anemia). (“Benzene,” Hazardous Substance Fact Sheet, New Jersey Dept. of Health andSenior Services, November 1994 Revision: January 2001).

Health Issues:The ExxonMobil Baton Rouge facilities arein the heart of what is called “Cancer Alley.” Cancer Alley earned that name because highrates of cancer mortality. In fact Louisiana,between 1970 and 1994, has had one of theconsistently highest rates of cancer mortalityin the United States (per 100,000 persons). In general, cancer mortality rates in Louisianaare increasing at rates comparable to nationalcancer mortality rates. In terms of a cursoryreview of a few specific types of cancer, leukemia rates for black females in EastBaton Rouge are higher than state andnational rates. Brain and nervous systemcancer mortality rates amongst white andblack males and white females are higherthan state and national rates.

This broad brush overview of cancermortality is really insufficient to assess thehealth impacts of the ExxonMobil refinery. Without information on cancer rates ingeographic areas smaller than Parishes, it isnot possible to really gauge what might begoing on in neighborhoods near the facility.

Workplace Safety: The primary source of documentation for this section are Occupational Safety and HealthAdministration Inspection Reports (OSHIR). These documents are produced as a record ofinspection and enforcement actions by the agency’s employees. In reviewing this list, it shouldbe noted that a person killed or injured on Exxon’s property may not be an actual employee ofExxon but an employee of a subcontractor. This fact does not, however, minimize the risk topeople of injury or death while carrying out Exxon’s work. See Appendix I for a list of thesereports.

Demographic Profile of neighborhoods within 2 miles of the ExxonMobil Facility:

Over 28000 people live in the densely populated neighborhoods within 2 miles of theExxonMobil Refinery. This population is predominantly African American (92.23%) ascompared to East Baton Rouge Parish as a whole (40.09%) and Louisiana (32.49%). Thepopulation around the refinery is younger than parish and state rates. 33.93% of the population,is under the age of 18 as compared to 26.18% in East Baton Rouge and 27.29% statewide.. Thisrefinery operation presents a clear case of environmental injustice with young people beingexposed at rates in excess of parish and state levels.

Political District Analysis:

East Baton Rouge Parish has 12 Council Districts. Of those districts, four are majority black and8 are majority white. In East Baton Rouge Parish council districts, the population of other racialcategories ranges from .5% to just under 4%. The parish as a whole has a Census 2000population of 412,852 persons. 231,886 are white (56.17%), 165,526 are black (40.09%) and15440 are of other racial backgrounds (3.74%). Research indicates that the entire parish is in linefor redistricting. The ideal 2000 population for a council district in East Baton Rouge is 34,404persons. Based on our analysis of the existing council districts, council district 4 is the only onewhich comes within 1000 persons of that ideal level, with a deviation of 1.57%. All othercouncil districts are in greater need of redistricting in order to achieve equal apportionment goals.

It is worth noting that all 4 of the East Baton Rouge council districts with majority black

populations have populations which are below the ideal number. In addition, every councildistrict in East Baton Rouge Parish with the exception of Council District 10 (-4.32%), gainedblack population (between 1.6 and 25% gains). Of course, race is not sufficient in and of itself asa basis for creating council districts. Political affiliation, “communities of interest” and othermatters are important considerations in deriving political districts. Census population variablesthat may be helpful in assessing communities of interest ought to include housing conditions,home ownership, income, poverty, age, and educational attainment. At this stage, economic andeducational variables for year 2000 are not yet available (June to Sept. 2000), but housing andage information is available.

Perhaps more importantly, “communities of interest” ought to include the central issues peoplefeel are affecting their community. Some neighborhoods may be more concerned about crimeand education over environmental problems. We submit that an effective organizing campaigncould address these issues and tie them together, in the interest of building political districtswhere elected officials understand what the issues are that the community wants addressed.

Recommendations:

It is understood that groups concerned about the proposed expansion of the ExxonMobil Refineryon Scenic Highway in Baton Rouge will be developing a door to door canvas operation in orderto alert and mobilize people in the community. In order to maximize the effectiveness of thiscampaign, we suggest that citizens utilize GIS information to plan and carry out the survey, todesign information for canvassers to bring to people and to collect and compile information frompeople at the door and from various petition and survey instruments that canvassers will be using.

In neighborhoods adjacent to the facility, it will be completely feasible to utilize census blockboundaries in order to deploy canvassers and compile survey and petition information. The U.S.Census designs census blocks for this very purpose, to facilitate the work of census takers andbecause the census block is the smallest unit of geographic space (short of actual streetaddresses), a considerable body of information can be mapped and used to plan and preparecanvassers and subsequently manage phone trees, block captains and other mobilization tools.

In addition, the census blocks can be used to tie to and/or build council districts, voting precincts,state legislative districts, school districts and U.S. Congressional Districts. That means that incarrying forward with a door knocking campaign based on Census Blocks, it is entirelyreasonable to bring information specific to which county, state and federal elected officialsrepresent people in a given area and generate that material from computerized records, completewith block maps and neighborhood assignments for each canvasser, on a day to day basis, as thecanvassers go out into the neighborhoods.

Lastly, the canvas could also be collecting information on issues that people see as importantbeyond ExxonMobil. We submit that this approach would tend to maximize the effectiveness ofthe canvas, bringing people in, broadening the agenda, and putting elected officials on noticeabout the emerging concerns of an organized and informed community. This type of canvassingeffort, as noted, could be used as the basis for a political redistricting campaign aroundcommunities of interest.
