RMP Executive Summary below:

ACCIDENTAL RELEASE PREVENTION AND RESPONSE POLICIES

The Cotton Valley Refinery has a long-standing commitment to workers and public safety. This commitment is demonstrated by the resources invested in accident prevention, such as training personnel and considering safety in the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of the facilitys processes. The Calumet Lubricants, Inc. polity is to implement reasonable controls to prevent foreseeable releases of substances. However, if a release does occur, trained personnel will respond to control and contain the release.

DESCRIPTION OF THE STATIONARY SOURCE AND REGULATED SUBSTANCES

Calumet Lubricants, Inc. operates the Cotton Valley Refinery located in Webster Parish, Louisiana. The Cotton Valley Refinery is a small specialty solvents plant capable of refining about 8,000 barrels per day (bbls/day) of sweet crude into various aliphatic solvents using both distillation and hydrotreating processes. These specialty solvents are transported offsite via rail, truck, and pipeline. As evidenced in the ensuing text and based on criteria outlined in the Accidental Release Prevention Program (ARP), the Cotton Valley Refinery is a Program 3 process.

The Cotton Valley Refinery was evaluated to determine if any regulated flammable or toxic substances were present in the process and if they exceeded the threshold quantity. All equipment and vessels are considered to be connected and/or co-located; consequently, for the purposes of the ARP Program, all equipment and vessels are part of a single process. The identification of even a single vessel exceeding threshold quantities of a regulated flammable or toxic substance would subject a process to threshold determination for offsite consequence analysis.

Calumet Lubricants, Inc. identified two regulated flammable substances and zero regulated toxic substances along with the largest single vessel quantity stored. It was determined that single vessels of light lean straight run (LLSR), and Petroleum Spirits each exceeded threshold quantity. The identification of these exceedances indicated that the Cotton Valley Refinery is a covered process with regulated substances subject to threshold determination for offsite consequence analysis.
