This
idea removes Kinder Morgan(KM) tanker loading terminal and oil storage tanks,all
oil tanker and barge traffic and the Chevron Refinery from Burrard Inlet—an old
Bill Vander Zalm idea in part.
Subject:
Combine oil refinery and Kinder Morgan tank farm at new site,not in Burrard
Inlet.
Some of
us do not like a greatly expanded oil tank farm high on the slopes of Burnaby
Mountain and with a gravity feed into Burrard Inlet!
Some may recall that Bill Vander Zalm in his heyday proposed a plan to
combine our refineries –get them out of Burrard inlet and have a more efficient
single refinery operation .Well now let’s bring that idea forward and solve a
huge problem for Greater Vancouver.
1.As some have suggested; relocate Kinder Morgan(KM
)LOADING terminal to Roberts Bank—where it belongs!
2.Relocate KM TANK FARM to the suggested new refinery site and include
super earthquake proof containment enclosures for all facilities
3.Chevron could build a new larger REFINERY at this site—maybe a joint
operation with another interested refiner?
4.Challenge: Find a suitable site for new refinery and combined tank farm
facilities.
5.Benefits:Reduce hazard potential of large oil spill in Burrard Inlet and
local beaches.
: create larger, more secure local supply for refined products—and possibly
some other oil based products--even export ?
:more,better jobs potential.
6.Who to promote this project——are you ready Bill?
