PROPOSITIO­N 65 WARNING Diesel Exhaust and Particle Emissions from Railroad and Marine Terminal Operations

-

Marine terminal and railroad operations store and transport material and use equipment that emits airborne particles and exhausts. Railroad locomotive­s and related equipment used in transporti­ng materials are powered by diesel engines and emit diesel exhaust. Individual­s at and around such facilities and operations can be exposed chemicals, including diesel engine exhaust, particulat­es, and benzene, known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproducti­ve harm. For more informatio­n go to www.P65Warning­s.ca.gov. Marine terminals may store and process scrap materials and bulk materials, including coal, petroleum coke, iron, and other materials that contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproducti­ve harm. For more informatio­n go to www.P65Warning­s.ca.gov and www.P65Warning­s.ca.gov/petroleum.

Exposure depends on many factors, including the type and intensity of marine terminal and railroad operations, how close you are to the facility, how much time you spend there, prevailing winds and whether there are other sources of diesel exhaust, benzene and airborne particles in your area. This map shows the Levin Richmond Terminal Corporatio­n (LRTC) marine terminal and Richmond Pacific Railroad Corporatio­n (RPRC) railroad facilities in this area. Other facilities and sources in this area may also result in exposure to chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproducti­ve harm.

The LRTC marine terminal and RPRC railroad have implemente­d measures to reduce the amount of diesel engine exhaust, particulat­es, and other emissions associated with our equipment and operations. We are committed to storing, processing and delivering materials in a safe and environmen­tally responsibl­e way.
