ATTN OF: M/S 443
To: All Interested Government Agencies, Public Officials, Public
Groups and Citizens
Pursuant to Section 102(2)(c) of the National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969 and implementing Federal Regulations, I am forwarding
for your review and comment this Draft Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS) for the Alaska Petrochemical Company's (ALPETCO) proposed
Refinery and Petrochemical Facility in Valdez, Alaska. ALPETCO has
applied for a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
Permit to discharge pollutant to navigable waters pursuant to the
provisions of the Clean Water Act (Public Law 95-217). The proposed
facility has been determined to be a New Source under Section 306 of
the Clean Water Act and hence is subject to the provisions of the
National Environmental Policy Act (83 Stat. 852) under Section 511(c)
(1) of the Clean Water Act. Pursuant to 40 CFR Part 124.31(d), the
draft New Source NPDES permit has been released for concurrent public
review with this EIS. Please see the attached Notice for details.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will announce
the availability of this document in the Federal Register on Friday,
December 7, 1979, initiating a 59-day review and comment period. It
is requested that comments on the draft EIS be submitted by 1 February
1980. Comments on the draft EIS should be submitted to Ms. Deborah Kirk,
Environmental Evaluation Branch, Mail Stop 443, at the above address.
Substantive comments on the draft EIS will be considered in the
preparation of the final EIS.
Please note that this draft EIS consists of a Text, Attachments
and multiple technical appendices. All technical appendices were
not distributed to all agencies and persons. If you need additional
copies of the draft EIS or any of its technical appendices, please
contact Deborah Kirk at the listed address or telephone (206) 442-4011
or (FTS) 399-4011. All volumes are available for review at the
locations noted on the attached Notice.
-------
2
Public hearings on the draft EIS and the draft New Source NPDES
permit will be held in Anchorage, Valdez and Juneau on January 29,30
and 31, 1980, respectively. Please see the attached Notice for details.
It should be noted that if changes to the proposed project and draft
EIS are minor, the final EIS will consist primarily of: 1) a summary,
2) pages with modifications, addition and/or deletions as necessitated
by the coordination and review process; and 3) a new coordination
section containing comment letters received on the draft EIS with
EPA's responses to those comments. Therefore, the draft EIS should be
retained since it, along with the final EIS, will provide a full
analysis of the environmental issues. The final EIS will be sent only
to the agencies and interested parties who request a copy or make
substantive comments on the draft.
If you need additional information, please contact Ms. Deborah Kirk
at (206) 442-4011 or (FTS) 399-4011.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
BETWEEN THE
UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
REGION X
AND
ALASKA PETROCHEMICAL COMPANY
(The Alpetco Company)
I. INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE
It has been agreed between the parties hereto that
Alaska Petrochemical Company (The Alpetco Company) (the
"Applicant") will engage a Consultant for the preparation
of an Environmental Impact Statement ("EIS") and other
related documents, reports, or evaluations as those
matters are defined and applied at 40 C.F.R. Part 6 in
connection with the issuance of a National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System permit for construction
and operation of a petrochemical facility (the "Project").
The EIS or other related documents must comply with all
provisions of the National Environmental Policy act of
1969 ("NEPA"), as amended, and any and all regulations
and/or guidance relating to NEPA, together with all
local and state laws.
It is the purpose of this Memorandum of Understanding
(the "MOU") to establish an understanding between the
Applicant and the United States Environmental Protection
Agency, Region X ("EPA") regarding the conditions and
procedures to be followed in the preparation of the EIS
or any other related documents.
11• GENERAL PROVISIONS
1. EPA is ultimately responsible for assuring
compliance with the requirements of NEPA.
2. The Applicant will retain the joint-venture
firm of CCC/HOK - DOWL*of Anchorage, Alaska
(the "Consultant") to provide the supportive
expertise, manpower, and technical capabil-
ities required for preparation of the EIS.
Any subcontractors retained by the Consultant
will be subject to the same responsibilities
and restrictions of the MOU as the Consultant.
3. The contract between the Applicant and the
Consultant, and any subcontracts thereunder
will be consistent with the provisions of
this MOU and will specifically incorporate
~Crittenden Cassetta & Cannon/Hellmuth, Obata & Kassabaum -
Dickinson-Oswald-Walch*Lee
B-2
-------
the provisions herein which address the
conduct of the Consultant. Said contract
will provide, and the Applicant hereby represents,
except as provided in (3)(a), below, that the
Consultant and any subcontractors to be
employed by the Consultant do not, and will
not, have any financial interests in the
planning, design, construction, or operation
of the proposed Project except with regard to
the preparation of the EIS and/or other
environmentally related studies on this
project. Further, the contract with the
Consultant and the contract of any subcontractor
engaged to conduct any work related to this
MOU will specifically state that neither the
United States nor its officers or agents is a
party thereto and accordingly will not be
liable in any manner to the Consultants or
subcontractors for costs arising out of any
termination of the contract(s) or the MOU.
a. The Applicant will direct the Consultant
to provide EPA, within 30 days of execution
of the MOU, a "Statement of Financial
Interests" (the "SOFI") outlining owner-
ship of stock, bonds, or other legal
interests in the Applicant, by the
Consultant, its officers, those other
employees who will be assigned to work
on this EIS, and any subcontractors or
employees thereof assigned to the
Project. The SOFI will also list any
previous contracts, and total amounts of
each, between the Applicant and the
Consultant and subcontractor.
b. Within 30 days of the date of submission
of the SOFI, EPA will determine what
measures, if any, are necessary to be
taken to insure the objectivity of the
EIS, and the Applicant agrees to insure
that such measures are taken.
4. The contract between the Applicant and the
Consultant will require the satisfactory and
timely performance and completion of work
with the final responsibility for ensuring
timely performance and completion of work to
rest with EPA. A Draft EIS shall be submitted
to EPA with a target date of 18 October 1979
and a Final EIS as expeditiously as possible thereafte:
Further, the Applicant will ensure coordination
of effort and exchange of information related
to the planning, design, and construction of
B-3
-------
the Project, as they relate to the preparation
of the EIS among the Applicant's in-house
staff, EPA representatives, the Consultant
and other consultants employed by the Consultant
for the development of the EIS.
5. Both the Applicant and EPA will:
a. Review all substantive phases of the EIS
preparation.
b. Designate representatives to review all
EIS work as it is developed and completed.
c. Have their respective representatives
attend regular meetings with federal,
state, regional, and local agencies for
the purpose of increasing communication
and receiving comments, as same may be
required by law, in preparation of the
EIS.
d. Ensure coordination of effort and exchange
of information.
6. All costs incurred in connection with the
employment of the Consultant or any other
entity participating in the preparation of
the EIS under contract with the Applicant
will be the sole responsibility of the
Applicant and the Applicant agrees to hold
harmless and indemnify EPA with respect to
any and all claims, demands, causes of
action, and the like which may arise from the
performance of the consulting contract or any
other services or purchases of materials
utilized for the preparation of the EIS.
This agreement does not apply to lawsuits in
which EPA is a defendant on the issue of the
adequacy of the Final EIS. In this situation
the EPA will defend the EIS at its expense.
The Applicant and/or its consultants/contractors
shall/ however, cooperate in the defense and
provide witnesses where appropriate.
III. PROCEDURES
1. EPA in consultation with the Applicant and
the Consultant will finalize a Plan of Study
("POS") which establishes the scope of work,
schedule, etc., (scope of work previously
agreed upon by Applicant, EPA and the State
of Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation
("DEC")) required of the Consultant in
B-4
-------
preparation of the EIS. In general, the POS
shall be based upon a detailed description of
all work to be performed, the persons performing
each task, the estimated work hours required for
each task, and the schedule for performing each
task. In particular, the POS shall be based
upon (1) a description of the facilities to be
constructed, including a site plan (2) the
Company's analysis of alternate sites (3) an
identification and quantification of all waste
streams (4) a description of all proposed waste
treatment and disposal processes (5) a description
of the refinery and petrochemical plant process
which identifies the major steps and the sequence
in which they occur (6) an estimate of the
quantities of raw materials and energy to be used
in constructing and operating the facility (7) a
description of the construction methods to be used
(8) a proposed construction schedule (9) any other
items which the Applicant or Consultant feel are
necessary to be included in the POS. The informa-
tion will be supplied by the Applicant.
2. The Consultant will be responsible for submitting
a draft POS to EPA and the Applicant. The POS
will be finalized by EPA in consultation with the
Applicant and the Consultant.
3. The POS and the scope of work may be amended by
EPA from time to time as the project proceeds,
but any amendments which require the expenditure
of additional funds by the Applicant must be
agreed to by the Applicant.
4. Any and all work performed by the Consultant in
preparation of the EIS will be submitted directly
to EPA by the Consultant. Simultaneously, the
Consultant will furnish copies of its work to the
Applicant, but in no case will the Applicant
review, modify, or edit the Consultant's work prior
to submission to EPA, or be provided the opportunity
to do so. The Applicant will provide copies of
the Consultant's work to DEC in a timely manner.
5. EPA reserves the right to review periodically and
modify the work of the Consultant to insure that
EPA's requirements under NEPA are satisfied. The
Consultant will submit a monthly progress report
to EPA and the Applicant. This report will
address the present status of each task, any
problems encountered, any recommendations for
modifications to the POS, and any changes made in
B—5
-------
personnel or methodology. As each portion of
any draft or final document is completed, the
responsible EPA official will review such portion
and those tasks completed thereunder and be given
an opportunity to approve, modify, or comment
thereon or direct further work with regard to such
portion or tasks. Approval of any portion of
the plan is contingent upon approval of the
final plan in its entirety. Such directions
or comments will be made by EPA in a timely
manner. The Consultant shall incorporate the
EPA comments into the text of the relevant
documents. Final drafts of any documents will
be submitted, as prepared, to EPA and the
Applicant for review and to EPA for approval.
6. In all instances involving questions as to the
content or relevance of any material (including
all data, analyses, and conclusions) prepared
by the Consultant, EPA will make the final
determination on the inclusion or deletion
of any such material in documents produced for
the EIS; provided however, that where permitted
by NEPA regulations governing the preparation of
an EIS, the Applicant or the Consultant may
supplement by addendum any material included or
excluded by direction of EPA from the text of
any given report.
7. The Applicant will direct the Consultant to
provide, to the extent requested by EPA,
access and review of all procedures and
underlying data used by the Consultant in
developing any and all reports, including,
but not limited to, field reports, subcon-
tractor reports, and interviews with concerned
private and public parties, whether or not such
information may be reflected in a draft or final
report submitted to EPA.
8. To coordinate the EIS preparation, joint meetings
between the Applicant, EPA, and the Consultant
will be held. DEC will be notified and invited to
participate in these meetings. However, EPA
reserves the right to work directly with the
Consultant for purposes of assuring objectivity in
preparing reports or for assuring expeditious
communications. When meetings or conversa-
tions between EPA and the Consultant occur
without the participation of the Applicant,
the Consultant will furnish written documen-
tation to the Applicant on these events, with
a copy to EPA. Likewise, should meetings or
conversations concerning the preparation of
B-6
-------
the EIS between the Applicant and the Consultant
occur without the participation of EPA, the
Consultant will furnish written documentation
to EPA reporting on all matters discussed
relating to these events. The Applicant
shall not direct the modification, exclusion
or inclusion of any data, evaluations, or
other material pertinent to the preparation
of the EIS. EPA further reserves the right
to consult directly with other federal,
state, and local officials during EIS prepara-
tion to assure compliance with NEPA.
9. The Applicant will ensure the full coopera-
tion of the Consultant and any other subcon-
tractors with respect to participating in any
public workshops, hearings, meetings, and the
like, as required by EPA to foster public
familiarity or participation with respect to
the assessment of impacts related to the
subject project.
10. With respect to all reports and documents,
including draft and final copies of the EIS,
the Applicant will be responsible for the
costs of stenographic, clerical, graphics,
layout, printing, and the like, and the
Applicant will be solely responsible for the
aforesaid costs in preparing and providing to
EPA twenty (20) copies of both an EIS draft
and final report, to include one "camera
ready" copy sufficient for reproduction and
distribution.
11. Upon completion of the draft EIS, EPA will be
responsible for organizing and conducting any
public hearing under 40 C.P.R. Part 6. EPA
will also be the recipient of all comments
during the draft EIS review and comment
period. This period (at least 45 days) will
be initiated when the EPA's Office of Federal
Activities in Washington, D.C. publishes the
"Draft EIS Notice of Availability" in the
Federal Register.
12. At the close of the draft EIS review and
comment period, EPA will identify the issues
and comments submitted which will require
response in the final EIS. EPA will direct
those comments to the Consultant for prepa-
ration of proposed responses. The Consultant
will furnish proposed responses to EPA and
the Applicant for review. EPA may modify the
proposed responses as it determines necessary.
B-7
-------
Upon completion of any such responses, EPA
will provide same to the Applicant and to the
Consultant for inclusion in the final EIS.
The Consultant will make editorial changes to
the text of the draft EIS, as necessary, and
as directed by EPA.
IV- TERMINATION
1. Either party to the MOU may terminate this
agreement upon 30 days advance written notice
to the other party.
2. In the event of a termination of the MOU or
the consulting contract, it is agreed as
follows:
a. The Applicant will assure that copies of
all documentation, reports, analyses,
data, etc., developed by the Consultant
are delivered to EPA.
b. EPA will assume the responsibility for
preparing the EIS should an EIS be
required.
c. The Applicant will hold harmless EPA,
its officers, agents, and employees,
from any claims, demands, causes of
action and the like, which may arise
from such a termination and will indem-
nify EPA, its officers, agents, and
employees for any losses arising there
from (other than administrative or legal
costs of EPA itself).
V. DISPUTES RESOLUTION
1. If, after a good faith effort by representa-
tives of both parties, a dispute arising as a
result of this Memorandum of Understanding
cannot be resolved, the Regional Administrator
may require written or oral arguments to be
presented on the issue.
2. After presentation of the arguments, the
Regional Administrator will render a final
decision. This decision shall be binding on
the parties,
VI* MODIFICATION
The MOU may be modified by the parties hereto only by a
mutually agreed upon written amendment.

"Additional Information"
13. Description of Activity
Crude oil from tankage is pumped to the -crude distillation
unit, which separates the crude oil into various boiling
range fractions. The unit consists of two main sections:
an atmospheric column where the lighter fractions are separated
and a vacuum column where the higher boiling fractions are
separated.
Naptha and lighter components are routed to a saturates gas
concentration unit, where the streams are separated into a
fuel gas stream, C3/C4 stream and naphtha stream. Fuel gas
is routed to an amine scrubbing unit where hydrogen sulfide
is removed before burning as plant fuel. The C3/C4 stream
is also denuded of hydrogen sulfide in an amine unit and
then mercaptans are extracted in a Merox unit. The C3 is
then separated from the C4 in a C3/C4 splitter.
Naphtha from the gas concentration unit flows to the naphtha
hydrotreater for removal of sulfur compounds and nitrogen.
Nonreformable isohexane and lighter components are removed
in the deisohexanizer. Isopentane is then fractionated from
this overhead for blending by use of a deisopentanizer.
Deisopentanizer bottoms and low octane components are routed
to paraffinic naphtha.
Deisohexanizer bottoms are routed to the continuous reformer,
where the octane of the stream is upgraded chiefly by conver-
sion of naphthenes and paraffins to high octane aromatic
compounds. As the reaction proceeds, hydrogen is produced
and used in hydroprocessing units. During the reforming
process, a portion of the feed is converted to butane and
lighter components. These are removed in the reformate
splitter.
The Cc+ stripper bottoms (reformate) is routed to the reformate
splitter. Here the xylene and lighter components are taken
overhead and the components heavier than xylene are produced
as a bottoms product and routed to gasoline blending. The
splitter overhead stream is routed to the Sulfolane unit
where the aromatic components (benzene, toluene .and xylene)
are separated from the non-aromatic components by use of a
selective solvent. These non-aromatic components are routed
to paraffinic naphtha. The aromatics are routed to a clay
treater for removal of trace olefins, and then separated
into a benzene, toluene, xylene, and gasoline stream by a
series of three conventional fractionators.
B-29
-------
Kerosene from the crude units is caustic washed from mercaptan
removal and then routed to jet fuel blending.
Diesel and heavy atmospheric gas oil from the crude unit is
routed to the hydrocracker where it is cracked into light
ends, naphtha and jet fuel in the presence of hydrogen.
Light ends are routed to the gas concentration unit; purge
hydrogen is routed to fuel gas; jet fuel is routed to blending;
naphtha is routed to the naphtha hydrotreater.
Vacuum gas oil from the crude unit is routed to the fluid
catalytic cracker feed hydrotreater. This unit removes
sulfur and nitrogen compounds and upgrades the feed for
improved gasoline production. There is a slight amount of
light ends produced in the hydrotreating reaction which is
routed to fuel gas. The hydrotreated gas oil then flows to
the fluid catalytic cracking unit (FCCU). Here the gas oil
is cracked to gasoline and lighter components in the presence
of a circulating stream of catalyst. The net products from
this unit are fuel gas, C3/C4, gasoline, light cycle oil and
decanted oil. These products are separated at the unit by
means of a main fractionator and gas concentration unit.
Product dispositions are as follows:
C3/C4 - C3/C4 splitter
Light Cycle Oil - No. 4 Fuel Oil
Decanted Oil - Bunker C
For maximizing gasoline yield there is a recycle of the
cycle oil. Before recycle to the reactor, the recycle is
hydrotreated for gasoline yield improvement.
The C3/C4 (a mixture of propane, propylene, butane and
butylene) stream is routed to an amine unit for removal of
hydrogen sulfide and then to a Merox unit for mercaptan
removal. The stream is then split into a propane/propylene
and butane/butylene stream.
The propane/propylene stream is routed to the polymer gasoline
unit where propylene (and butylene) is polymerized to gasoline
in the presence of a solid phosphoric acid catalyst. This
polymer gasoline is'subsequently routed to gasoline blending.
Unreacted propane is routed to storage and unreacted butane
is routed to the HF Alkylation unit.
B-30
-------
The butane/butylone stream is routed to a splitter where
isobutane and most of the butylenes are separated from
normal butane. This stream then flows to the HF Alkylation
unit where isobutane reacts with butylenes in the presence
of a hydrofluoric acid catalyst (and propylenes) to produce
high octane alkylate for gasoline blending.
Bottoms from the vacuum tower in the crude unit is routed to
the Flexicoker. Here the material is coked using a fluid
process to yield the following:
Fuel Gas
c3/c4
Naphtha
Coker Distillate
Coker Gas Oil
Coke
Disposition
Fuel Gas
Polymer Gasoline Unit
Naphtha Hydrotreater
Hydrocracker
FCCU Feed Hydrotreater
Gasif ication
The unit has a fractionator and a gas concentration unit to
separate the reactor effluent into these various products.
Coke from the reactor is transported to the gasification
section where steam and air are used to produce a low BTU
gas which comprises a major portion of the plant fuel requirement.
Hydrogen sulfide-rich amine from several amine contactors is
routed to a central regenerator, where the hydrogen sulfide
is stripped overhead as acid gas. This acid gas then flows
to a sulfur recovery unit where the H2S is reacted with air
to produce elemental sulfur. Tail gas from the sulfur plant
is processed in a Beavon/Stretford unit which reduces the
concentration of sulfur compounds in the effluent to less
than 100 ppm.
Hydrogen sulfide and ammonia-bearing process water streams
are sent to a sour water stripper where the ammonia and H2S
are removed. This acid gas is then routed to the sulfur
recovery unit.
A process flow diagram for this facility is attached (Figure E) .

15. Waste Abatement- Practices
A schematic diagram of the proposed wastewater treatment
system is shown in Figure F; a schematic of "water flow"
has been previously shown (Figure A) .
Uncontaminated storm water is routed directly to the common
outfall. This discharge will be monitored during storm
conditions to ensure effluent quality.
Wastewater produced by regenerating the water plant demin-
eralizers contains the same quantities of organic material
found in the water supply. The pH of the stream will vary
from highly acidic to highly basic depending on the phase of
the regeneration cycle. The regenerant wastewater streams
are routed to an equalization tank where adequate retention
time (24 hours) allows for partial self-neutralization of
the stream. Following equalization the stream enters a
neutralization tank where pH is controlled to a range of 6
to 9 before discharge.
Wastewater from the hydrogen plant is essentially free of
organic contamination. Therefore, this stream is directed
to the regenerate equalization tank rather than biological
treatment. The buffering capacity of the stream also
assists in neutralizing the acid streams.
The boiler blowdown will contain relatively high concentra-
tions of dissolved solids, and depending on the method of
operation, some suspended solids. The suspended solids will
be primarily inorganic devalent ration salts. These sus-
pended solids will be removed by settling prior to discharge
into the equalization tank.
After equalization and neutralization, the treated non-
organic waste stream will be monitored and combined with
other plant streams prior to discharge. Since organic
contaminates will be kept out of this water, and the dis-
solved solids concentration is completely compatible with
the receiving stream, equalization and neutralization
represent best available technology for the non-organic
waste streams.
The basic treatment concept for oily waste streams consists
of oil removal, biological oxidation, and suspended solids
removal.

If it is determined that worst case conditions cannot continually
achieve a 75 to 1 dilution, the permittee may request from EPA and
ADEC a reduction in the dilution rate upon the showing that a
corresponding reduction in aromatic hydrocarbons and cyanide in the
discharge (below the 1.0 mg/1 and 0.38 mg/1 respectively) can be
achieved so that the boundary conditions specified in Part A.l.h.
are continually maintained.
h. At the boundaries of the mixing zone, conditions of the
Alaska Water Quality Standards (18AAC 70.020) for marine waters shall
be maintained. In particular the following shall be achieved:
(1) The pH shall not be less than 6.5 standard units
or greater than 8.5 standard units, and shall not vary more than 0.1
pH unit from natural conditions.
(2) No measurable increase in sediment concentrations
above natural conditions.
(3) Total aromatic hydrocarbons in the water column
shall not exceed 10 ug/1 (micrograms per liter), or 0.01 of the
lowest measured continuous flow 96 hour LC50 for life stages of
species identified by the Alaska Department of Environmental Conser-
vation as the most sensitive, biologically important species in a
particular location, whichever concentration is less. There shall be
no concentration of hydrocarbons, animal fats, or vegetable oils in
the sediment which cause deleterious effects to aquatic life. Surface
waters and adjoining shorelines shall be virtually free from floating
oil, film, sheen or discoloration.
(4) Cyanide in the water column shall not exceed 5
ug/1.

approved analytical methods as specified below, the results of such
monitoring shall be included in the calculation and reporting of the
values required in the Discharge Monitoring Report form (EPA No.
3320-1). Such increased frequency shall also be indicated.
4. Definitions
a. The "daily average concentration" shall be the
arithmetic average (weighed proportionally by flow volume) of all the
daily maximum concentrations made during a calendar month.
b. The "daily maximum concentration" shall be the
concentration for a sample determined for any calendar day when taken
as required in A.l.a.
c. A "composite sample" is a sample weighted propor-
tionally by flow volume. Either the volume of each individual sample
comprising the composite will be directly proportional to discharge
flow rate or the sampling interval (for constant-volume samples) will
be inversely proportional to the flow rates over the time period used
to produce the composite.
B-45
-------
Page 10 of 21
Permit No.: AK-0002763-4
d. The "daily average flow" is the total discharge volume
occurring during a calendar month divided by the number of days
within the calendar month for which a discharge occurred.
e. The "daily maximum flow" is the total volume of
discharge for any calendar day.
f. BOD5 means five (5) day biochemical oxygen demand.
g. MGD means millions of gallons per day.
h. mg/1 means milligrams per liter.
i. mVday means cubic meters per day.

damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities which would
cause them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of
natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the
absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic
loss caused by delays in production.
q. "Upset" means an exceptional incident in which there is
unintentional and temporary noncompliance with technology-based
permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the reasonable
control of the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance to
the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment
facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper

FACT SHEET - PROPOSED NATIONAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM
(NPDES) PERMIT TO DISCHARGE POLLUTANTS PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE

FACT SHEET
Technical Section
I. Alaska Petrochemical Company, an Alaskan corporation
(hereinafter called "Alpetco")
Valdez, Alaska
(907) 272-1517 (Anchorage office)
NPDES Permit No. AK-002763-4
II. Activity
The proposed Alpetco refinery is designed to convert 150 thousand barrels
per day of Alaska North Slope crude oil into premium transportation fuels
and petrochemicals.
EPA categorizes refineries into five classes (A through E) according to
their processing capabilities. The proposed facility would be a class C
refinery, meaning it would have cracking and petrochemical production
capabilites. The process units include an atmospheric crude unit, a
vacuum distillation unit, a sulfurizer, an naptha hydro-treater, a coker,
a catalytic reformer, a catalytic cracker, an aromatics extraction unit,
an aromatics distillation unit and a sulphur plant. For a detailed
description of the proposed activity see page 11-11 of the NPDES
application.
The proposed refinery will be a "bottomless" refinery thereby producing
100 percent of the raw material crude into a maximum practicable slate of
products leaving only low quantites of residual heavy fuel oils. No
crude bottoms will be returned to the crude source pipeline.
The daily product slate is approximately 75 thousand barrels of unleaded
high-octane gasoline, 30 thousand barrels of jet fuel, 5 thousand barrels
of diesel fuel, and 35 thousand barrels of benzene, toluene and other
petrochemicals.
Sources of wastewaters from the proposed refinery operation falls into
one of seven categories: (1) clean (uncontaminated) storm water, (2)
contaminated storm water, (3) non-organic waste streams, (4) ballast
water, (5) high oil waste streams, (6) low-oil waste streams, and (7)
sanitary waste.
(1) Uncontaminated storm water is routed directly to the common outfall.
This discharge will be monitored during storm conditions to insure
effluent quality.
B-60
-------
(2) Contaminated storm runoff would be collected in an impoundment basin
to allow treatment at a controlled flow rate. A skimmer would remove
any floating oil. The skimmer would discharge to the API separator.
(3) Non-organic waste streams are created by (a) regeneration of
demineralizers, (b) the hydrogen plant, and (c) boiler water blowdown.
(a) the wastewater from regenerating demineralizers would contain the
same quanitites of organic material found in the water supply. The
pH of the stream would vary from highly acidic to highly basic
depending on the phase of the regeneration cycle. The regenerant
wastewater streams would be routed to an equalization tank where
adequate retention time (24 hours) would allow for partial
self-neutralization of the stream. Following equalization, the stream
would enter a neutralization tank where pH would be controlled to a
range of 6 to 9 before discharge.
(b) Wastewater from the hydrogen plant would be essentially free of
organic contamination. Therefore, this stream would be directed to
the regenerant equalization tank rather than biological treatment.
The buffering capacity of the stream also assists in neutralizing the
acid streams.
(c) The boiler blowdown would contain relatively high concentrations
of dissolved solids, some suspended solids, BOD, and phosphorus.
Since the phosphorus is an essential nutrient for biological
treatment, boiler blowdown would be mixed with deoiled process water
and treated at the main treatment system.
After equalization and neutralization, the treated non-organic waste
streams will be monitored and combined with other plant streams prior
to discharge.
(4) The proposed ballast water system would provide treatment within the
normally anticipated range of characteristics. Since ships discharge
ballast at very high flow rates, the water would be pumped to a
stream-traced receiving tank to allow for equalization and rapid oil-
water separation. Alum and ploymer then would be added to the CP I
effluent to further coagulate oil and solids. These residual
materials would be removed in a dissolved air flotation unit.
The primary treatment methods are designed to remove free and
emulsified oil plus suspended solids. The chemical oxygen demand
(COD) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) of the wastewater would be
reduced by rotating biological contactors. Effluent suspended solids
generated by biological treatment would be removed by a clarifier.
Filtration of the effluent would ensure maximum effluent quality.
After treatment, the water would be mixed with the inorganic
wastewater in the equalization basin.
B-61
-------
(5) The basic treatment concept for oily waste streams consists of
oil removal, biological oxidation, and suspended solids removal.
The sulfide caustic stream would be pretreated using air oxidation
to convert sulfide to thiosulfates and sulfates.
The effluent from the oxidation tower would be combined for
treatment with water from the desalter, the olefin poly plant,
and oily water sewer. Since each of these streams would have
the potential to contain very high oil concentrations, the API
separator would be used to remove oil and to protect downstream
operations.
Alum and polymers would be added to the combined API separator
and storm surge pond effluent. The floculated wastewater
would be further treated for oil removal in a dissolved air
flotation (DAF) unit. The DAFs proposed for process water and
ballast water are similar in design.
(6) Wastewater from the sour water stripper, the sulfur plant tail
gas cleanup, and pretreated HF alkylation wastes would have
relatively low oil concentration. These waste streams would be
combined with deoiled process wastes and storm water for
biological oxidation. The combined streams would be neutralized
prior to bio-treatment to ensure maximum treatment efficiency.
Nutrient in the form of phosphoric acid would be added as
required.
Biological oxidation of soluble organic molecules in the deoiled
wastewater would be achieved using a rotating biological
contactor (RBC), then a polishing filter would be used to insure
maximum effluent quality.
(7) All sanitary wastes would be collected and pumped to the Valdez
municipal treatment plant.
III. Receiving Water
A. Port Valdez, Prince William Sound.
B. The Alpetco petrochemical facility will discharge to waters
classified as Type II/Marine Waters. Port Valdez marine waters
are classified as classes 11(A), 11(B), 11(C), and 11(D)
according to Water Quality Standards 1979 publication (18 AAC
70.010).
Class 11(A) pertains to water supply for aquaculture, seafood
processing, industrial and any manufacturing or production
enterprise (i.e., placer mining, energy development) waters.
B-62
-------
Class 11(B) pertains to recreation waters, waters to contact
recreation and secondary recreation. Class 11(C) pertains to
those waters in which fish, shellfish, aquatic life and wildlife
(including seabirds, waterfowl, and furbearers) inhabit the
waters. Class 11(D) pertains to those waters for harvesting of
raw mollusks or other raw aquatic life.
In applying water quality criteria, a volume of dilution for the
effluent within the receiving water will be prescribed in the
wastewater disposal permit. Water quality standards may not be
exceeded outside the mixing zone. Mixing zones are disallowed
in instances where the substances discharged are bioaccumulative
in food chains, concentrates in sediments, is persistent,
carcinogenic, mutagenic or teratogenic, or if the potential
ecological or human health effects are so adverse that a mixing
zone is not appropriate.
C. Water quality standards criteria, outsi de a mixing zone, of signi-
ficance to this permit include:
1) dissolved gas - Surface dissolved oxygen (D.O.)
concentrations in coastal water shall not be less than 6.0 mg/1
for a depth of one meter except when natural conditions cause
this value to be depressed. D.O. shall not be reduced below
4 mg/1 at any point beneath the surface. D.O. concentrations in
estuaries and tidal tributaries shall not be less than 5.0 mg/1
except where natural conditions cause this value to be
depressed. In no case shall D.O. levels above 17 mg/1 be
permitted. The concentration of total dissolved gas shall not
exceed 110% of saturation at any point of sample collection.
2) pH - shall not be less than 6.5 or greater than 8.5, and
shall not vary more than 0.1 pH units from natural conditions.
3) dissolved inorganic substances - no man induced alterations
shall be made that would cause a change in the waters isohaline
patterns of more than ;+ 10% of the natural variations.
4) toxic and other deleterious organic and inorganic
substances - substances shall not individually or in combination
exceed 0.01 times the lowest measured 96 hr. LC50 for life
stages of species identified by the department as being the most
sensitive, biologically important to the location, or exceed
criteria cited in EPA, Quality Criteria for Water or Alaska
Drinking Water Standards, whichever concentration is less.
Substances shall not be present or exceed concentrations which
individually or in combination impart undesireable odor or taste
to fish or other aquatic organisms as determined by either
bioassay or organoleptic tests.
B-63
-------
5) petroleum hydrocarbons, oils and grease - total
hydrocarbons in the water column shall not exceed 15 ug/1 or
0.01 of the lowest measured continuous flow 96 hr. LC50 for life
stages of species identified by the department as the most
sensitive, biologically important species in a particular
location, whichever concentration is less. Total aromatic
hydrocarbon in the water column shall not exceed 10 ug/1, or
0.01 of the lowest measured continuous flow 96 hr. LC50 for life
stages of species identified by the department as the most
sensitive, biologically important species in a particular
location, whichever concentration is less. There shall be no
concentrations of hydrocarbons, amimal fats, or vegetable oils
in the sediment which cause deleterious effects to aquatic
life. Surface waters and adjoining shorelines shall be
virtually free from floating oil, film, sheen or discoloration.
6) residues, floating solids, debris, sludge deposits, foam,
scum - shall not alone or in combination with other substances
or wastes cause the water to be unfit, unsafe or cause acute or
chronic problem levels as determined by bioassay or other
appropriate methods. Shall not alone or in combination with
other substances cause a film, sheen, or discoloration on the
surface of the water of adjoining shorelines; cause leaching of
toxic or deleterious substances; or cause a sludge, solid, or
emulsion to be deposited beneath or upon the surface of the
water, with the water column, on the bottom or upon adjoining
shorelines.
7) temperature - shall not cause the weekly average
temperature to increase more than 1 C. The maximum rate of
change shall not exceed 0.5 C per hour. Normal daily
temperature cycles shall not be altered in amplitude or
frequency.
8) sediment - shall not pose hazards to incidental human
contact or cause interference with the use. There shall be no
measureable increase in concentrations above natural conditions.
For further details on water quality standards, refer to the
February 1979 publication of Water Quality Standards, 18 ACC
70.010. This document may be obtained from any office of the Alaska
Department of Environmental Conservation.
D. It is not expected that there will be any water quality
violations at the boundaries of the defined mixing zone. This
conclusion is reached after considering a variety of materials.
First, the dilution rates expected from the proposed Alpetco
diffuser is defined by Metcalf & Eddy, Inc., Engineers, in a
"Draft Report to DOWL Engineers on Oceanographic Studies of
Alpetco Discharge in Port Valdez" dated October 5, 1979. This
B-64
-------
material will become a part of the draft EIS being prepared for
this project. Second, a variety of data on numerous parameters
- in particular toxic pollutants - has been measured at other
relateable facilities around the U.S. by EPA. These data were
reviewed with regards to the expected dilution rates to
determine boundary conditions for various pollutants. Finally,
the treatment system proposed by Alpetco should result in
effluent limits significantly below the limits for "New Source
Performance Standards" and below the levels achieved by most of
the existing older refineries located throughout the U.S. from
which a majority of the data base was obtained.
IV. Background
A. This is a new petrochemical complex and as such the permit
represents a "New Source" permit. It will be the first permit
issued to Alpetco for waste water discharges.
B. The Discharge flow is broken down as follows:

V. Basis for Limitations
Limitations contained in this proposed permit reflect both National
guidelines and the Alaska Water Quality Standards. Guidelines
utilized are the "Effluent Guidelines and Standards for Petroleum
Refining" effective May 12, 1974 with amendments dated September 10,
1974, May 20, 1975, and March 23. 1977. The section of those
B-65
-------
guidelines pertaining to this facility is Subpart C - Petrochemical
Subcategory, section 419.35 - Standards of Performance for New
Sources. For purposes of calculations from these guidelines, crude
oil throughput was assumed at 161,440 barrels per process day. The
process configuration was calculated to be 8.23 giving a process
factor of 1.39. The size factor was 1.13. (See Attachment 1, for
calculations)
Parameters limited according to National Guildlines for process water,
are as follows:
B0D5
T.S.S.
C.O.D.
Oil and Grease
Phenolic Compounds
Ammonia
Sulfide
Total Chromium
Heavalunt Chromium
PH
The maximum limit for oil and grease from ballast water was reduced
from guideline values of 0.015 kg/nr to 0.010 kg/nr to conform
to demonstrated available values abtained by Alyeska Pipeline
Service Company's Ballast treatment plant at Valdez.
The permit contains receiving water criteria and effluent limits
extracted from the Alaska Water Quality Standards (18 AAC 70). Receiving
water limits are to be maintained at the boundaries of the defined mixing
zone. The mixing zone meets criteria outlined in the water standards as
well as conforming to the requirements of the proposed diffuser system.
The criteria specified are for control of pH, sediment, aromatic
hydrocarbons, and cyanide in the receiving water and aromatic
hydrocarbons and cyanide in the effluent.
The proposed permit requires that the diffuser system achieve a dilution
of 75 to 1 and be tested upon plant start-up to verify dilution rates.
The present estimate is that dilutions will be 260:1 at 5 meters below
the surface; with a worst case of 75:1 at a trap level of 40 meters when
the plume does not reach the surface on the receiving water.
In addition the permit contains a biological receiving water monitoring
program developed by the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation
to measure pre-operational and post-operational conditions.
VI. Basis for Compliance Schedule
The only compliance schedules contained in the proposed permit are for
reporting and obtaining approval of the outfall diffuser design and
location and testing the outfall diffuser system when completed and for
an ongoing biological monitoring program. Compliance with effluent
limits and receiving water criteria and limits is expected at plant
start-up.

Dear Sir:
Enclosed with this cover letter is Alaska PetrochemicaI Company's
(Alpetco) request for a PSD permit to construct and operate a
150,000 bpd refinery and petrochemicaI facility in Valdez, Alaska.
As you are aware, this PSD permit application is the result of an
intensive effort by Alpetco over the past year to monitor ambient
air quality in the vicinity of the proposed facility as we I I as
accumulate and evaluate all other available data from all sources.
Numerous meetings with representatives of EPA-Region X, the Alaska
Operations Office (EPA), and the Alaska Department of Environmental
Conservation have helped to guide the development of this applica-
tion as well as impacting the design of the facility itself and
the input of many individuals from each of these agencies is sin-
cerely acknowledged. The input of the City of Valdez and the
cooperation of the industrial sector, particularly Alyeska Pipe-
line Service Company, is also acknowledged.
The use of the non-guideline model, in this case the Lagragian
model termed RADM (for Random-walk Atmospheric Dispersion Model),
has also been discussed with each of the above agencies as well
as representatives from Research Triangle Park. Because of some
reservations expressed by reviewers of RADM relative to the

behaviour of vertical winds and wind shear, Alpetco is prepared
as a part of its anticipated pre-construction monitoring program
to measure this vertical wind behaviour over short-term periods
(say, mid-summer) by a combination of multiple pibal releases and
doppler radar observations. These observations should permit
further validation of RADM for utilization in Port Valdez. In
addition, Alpetco would be willing to enter into a cooperative
agreement with the appropriate agencies and Alyeska Pipeline
Service Company that would permit selected meteroIogicaI stations
within Port Valdez to be maintained during pre- and post-contruc-
tion periods.
You will note that the basic approach throughout this application
is highly conservative (particularly in estimating emission data
and emission flow rates); for example, TSP and NO estimates may
be high by a factor of 2 or more.
The application demonstrates that Alpetco:
1- Meets all applicable emission limits achievable by the"
application of best available control technology (BACT);

Dear Mr. Johnston:
Enclosed with this letter is a supplement to Alaska Petro-
chemical Company's (Alpetco) October 8, 1979 Prevention
of Significant Deterioration (PSD) Application. This sup-
plement addresses the cIarification of the a i r qua Ii ty
ana Iys i s and BACT analysis issues raised in your November 9,
1979 letter regarding the completeness of Alpetco's PSD
appIi cat ion.
This supplement has been prepared by Dames & Moore under the
supervision of Charles FahI (Anchorage) and George Lou (Seattl
with assistance from the Pace Company of Houston (Paul Pizzi)
primarily in regards to BACT.
Copies of this supplement are being made available to the
Alaska Operations Office (EPA) and the Alaska Department of
Environmental Conservation (Juneau) this same date.
As I indicated in my October 8, 1979 cover letter to our PSD
application, the application demonstrates that Alpetco:
1. Meets all applicable emission limits achievable
by the application of Best Available Control
Technology (BACT);
2. Complies with allowable air quality increments of
sulfur dioxide (S00 and particulate matter (TSP);
and
3. Complies with national and Alaska ambient air
quality standards.

As you are aware, Alpetco is preparing a draft EIS which
addresses (among numerous other issues) all of the above
listed proposed activities:
"The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
has received an application (AF.-002763-4)
for a National Pollutant Discharge Elimina-
tion System (NPDES) permit for discharge of
waste waters from a proposed refinery/petro-
chemical complex to be built by Alaska
Petrochemical Company (Alpetco) in Valdez,
Alaska. Based on a review of information
submitted by the applicant, this facility has
been initially determined to be a new source
(40 CFR 6.906d). Also, the proposed issuance
of a NPDES permit has been determined to be a
major federal action requiring preparation of
an EIS (40 CFR 6.910).
The EIS will be prepared under a third party
agreement between EPA and the applicant,
whereby the applicant retains a consultant
and EPA retains control over preparation of
the EIS. EPA is ultimately responsible for
B-78

assuring that the EIS complies with all
applicable federal regulations. CCC/HOK -
Dickinson. Oswald.Walsh.Lee of Anchorage,
Alaska has been selected as the EIS consultant.
Alpetco proposes to build a refinery/petro-
chemical complex capable of processing
150,000 barrels per day of crude oil. A
fuels refinery will come on line first,
followed by an aromatics refinery and possibly
an ethylene production unit. Refinery
facilities will include crude oil and product
transportation and storage facilities. A
power plant, including fuel supply storage
and transportation facilities, may also be
required. No decision on the fuel source for
the power generating unit has been made;
however, coal, oil and natural gas will be
evaluated as possible fuels in the EIS. The
refinery will be largely air-cooled. Treated
waste waters will be discharged to Valdez
Arm." (EPA Notice of Intent dated December 7,
1978)
As you are also aware, Alpetco under the terms of its
agreement with the State of Alaska to purchase the State's
royalty oil is required to develop the project in an expe-
ditious manner. Following an extensive search for suitable
sites within the State, Alpetco notified the State that
Valdez had been chosen as the location for the facility in
November, 1978. The Alaska Department of Environmental
Conservation has reviewed the Alpetco site report and in a
memorandum to the Commissioner, Department of Natural
Resources, has indicated that there are no insurmountable
environmental problems evident that would prevent the
location of the plant on the selected site near the City of
Valdez.
In March, 1979 the Commissioner, Department of Natural
Resources, formally approved Alpetco"s site selection
(letter from LeResche to Cain dated March 5, 1979 enclosed).
During the past year, numerous field investigations related
primarily to site evaluation and EIS preparation have been
performed by a variety of consultants as well as representatives
B-79

of numerous local, state and federal agencies who have also
made significant inputs to the on-going scope of work for
the EIS. Many public meetings have been held in Valdez with
positive public response and Alpetco has a continuing
dialogue with Valdez local officials and residents.
A variety of recent technical reports which will be incor-
porated into the EIS are available from Alpetco for your
utilization in consideration of these applications, including:

Zone Program. The Department of Community and Regional
Affairs has conferred with the City of Valdez Planning
Director on these matters.
On January 2, 1979 , notices of a pulilic hearing to be held
in Valdez concerning its selection as the facility site were
r.ent to ten major newspapers in Alaska to be published
ceveral tines during the month of January. Also on that
date Legislative leaders and the Legislators representing
the Valdez area were notified of the scheduled hearing and
invited to attend or comment.
On January 29, 1979, at 7 p.m. I conducted the public
hearing in Valdez for the purpose of gathering information
regarding the selection of Valdez as the site for the
petrochemical facility and to determine public acceptance of
the proposed facility by the residents of the Valdez area.
Approximately ICO citizens attended the public hearing as
well as several state and federal officials and officials
from the Alaska Petrochemical Company. The responses from
the sixteen people who testified were unanimously in favor
of the selection of Valdez as the cite for the facility.
In view of the favorable response received by the Department
of Nat'iral Resources from State and local officials and the
residents of Valdez, your sele-ction of Valdez as the site
for the petrochemical facility to be built under the terms
of the Agreement for the Pale and Purchase of State Royalty
Oil between Alaska Petrochemical Company and the State of
Alaska is hereby approved.

4. Assumptions (continued)
• 1-45,000 DWT Tanker - 40 ft. Draft.
• 55 ft. and 50 ft. minimum water depths at respective
berths.
• No dredging.
• Tide range of - 6.0 ft. to + 16.0 ft. MLLW
• Maximum wave of 10 ft. at +16.0 ft. MLLW tide.
• Design Tsuanami of 20 ft. at +12.0 ft. MLLW tide.
• Piling will be anchored into bedrock by drilling and
grouting.
5. Conclusions and Recommendations - (from Dames & Moore,
August 1979)
GENERAL
Based on the data collected, we conclude that the site
conditions are suitable for the construction of the proposed
dock. The area is characterized by a wedge of unconsolidated
sediments atop an irregular surface of greywacke bedrock.
Both the bathymetric and sub-bottom surveys indicate that
slumping has been an active process in this region, but no
clear evidence of recent displacements, either slumps or faults,
could be identified in the data.
The soils at the site are essentially frictional silt
and sand. Driven displacement piles will, in all likelihood,
encounter refusal before reaching design tip elevations based
on frictional resistance; therefore some predrilling may be
necessary.

PUBLIC NOTICE
NPACO No. 071-OYD-2-790372
Application has been received in this office from the Alaska Petrochemical
Company (ALPETCO), 601 West 5th Avenue, Suite 320, Anchorage, Alaska 99501,
for a Department of the Army permit under Section 10 of the River and
Harbor Act of 1899 (30 Stat. 1151; 33 U.S.C. 403) and Section 404 of
the Clean Water Act (Public Law 95-217) to construct a tanker terminal
in an area adjacent to the Dayville Road in the Port of Valdez, near the
city of Valdez, Alaska, as shown on the plans attached to this notice.
This project will be used in conjunction with the activities described
in Public Notice NPACO No. 071-OYD-2-790373.
The applicant proposes to build a facility capable of simultaneous
occupancy by two tankers. Each loading platform will be 145'x70'. A
control tower, operations building, crane, and loading arms will be
constructed on each loading platform.
The loading platform, designed to accommodate 80,000 DWT tankers, will be
flanked by four 30'x30' breasting dolphins and three 18'xl8' mooring dol-
phins. The loading platform designed to accommodate 45,000 DWT tankers
will be flanked by two 30'x30' breasting dolphins and three 18'xl8' mooring
dolphins. An additional 18'xl8' mooring dolphin will be sited between the
two loading platforms and will service both. All facilities will be supported
by steel jacketed, steel pipe pile bents braced longitudinally and hor-
izontally. The loading platforms and dolphins will be connected by
walkways. The pipeway/roadway trestle will connect the two loading
platforms and extend to the Dayville Road, total length approximately
2,350'. The trestle will be 40' wide and will be supported by steel
jacketed, steel pipe pile bents braced longitudinally and horizontally.
The bents will be sited on 100' centers. The piling will be anchored
into bedrock by drilling and grouting.
A report titled "Bathymetry and Subsurface Conditions - ALPETCO Proposed

of the probable impact of the proposed activity on the public interest.
That decision will reflect the national concern for both protection
and utilization of important resources. The benefit which reasonably
may be expected to accrue from the proposal must be balanced against
its reasonably foreseeable detriments. All factors which may be
relevant to the proposal will be considered; among those are conser-
vation, economics, aesthetics, general environmental concerns, historic
values, fish and wildlife values, flood damage prevention, land use,
navigation, recreation, water supply, water quality, energy needs,

PUBLIC NOTICE
NPACO No. 071-OYD-2-790373
Application has been received from the Alaska Petrochemical Company,
(ALPETCO), 601 West 5th Avenue, Suite 320, Anchorage, Alaska 99501,
for a Department of the Army permit under Section 10 of the River and
Harbor Act of 1899 (30 Stat. 1151; 33 U.S.C 403) and Section 404 of the
Clean Water Act (Public Law 95-217) to construct a refinery and petro-
chemical supporting facilities at Valdez, Alaska, as shown on the plans
attached to this notice. This project will support the composite facility
described in NPACO No. 071-OYD-2-790372.
The applicant proposes to build a temporary construction dock on the
north shore of Port Valdez. This work will involve dredging 1,000 cubic
yards of material, placing a sheet-pile wall with deadmen, placing a
4,000 cubic yard gravel fill, and constructing a concrete ramp. The
facility will be used to offload prefabricated refinery modules. The
concrete ramp will remain in place while the other facilities will be
removed after the project is completed. A control levee will be con-
structed on the east bank of Valdez Glacier Stream. It will consist of
a 200,000-cubic-yard earth embankment with 40,000 cubic yards of riprap
erosion protection. Slater Creek will be diverted from Corbin Creek to
Valdez Glacier Stream. A diversion ditch will be cut on the eastern
boundary of the ALPETCO site. The ditches will require 15,000 cubic yards
of dredging, a 40,000 cubic yard fill section, and 25,000 cubic yards of
A pile-supported steel and concrete bridge will be constructed across
Valdez Glacier Stream. The approaches will be surfaced gravel fills.
A paved roadway will be constructed across the Robe River, Corbin Creek
(Robe), and Corbin Creek (Glacier) and related tributaries. Stream
crossings will be concrete bridges with surfaced gravel approaches or
gravel covered culverts. Crude, product, and ballast water pipeline
crossings will be made across the Lowe River, Robe River, Corbin Creek
(Robe), Corbin Creek (Glacier) and related tributaries, and Ambercrombie
Creek. All crossings will be made during periods of low water. A
wastewater outfall pipe will extend from the ALPETCO site across
Valdez Glacier Stream to discharge from the north shore of Port Valdez.
These facilities are related to the proposed construction and operation
of a refinery and petrochemical facility in Valdez, Alaska.
