lubricants. In order to supply petroleum products to using units, we must operate loading and unloading facilities
for ships, barges, tank trucks, and rail tank cars, as well as operate pipelines and storage facilities. Every time a
product is handled, a potential for spills exists.

and enforce procedures that can help prevent oil spills through the application of proper procedures and how to
properly contain, treat, and dispose of a petroleum spill.
