OCTOBER 9, 1978
@fR. ATAYOR, MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCIL:
I SPEAK TO YOU 7-ODAY BOTH AS A PRIVATE CITIZEN AND AS A RESPIRATORV DISEASE SPECIALIST
W[IO HAS LIVED AND PRACTICED IN VIRGINIA BEACH THE LAST FOUR AND A HALF YEARS.
LAST TUESDAV EVENING, OCTOBER 3, 1978, AT A MEETING OF TUE VIRGINIA BEACH 9EDICAL
SOCIETV, AN OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF tHE PHYSICIANS ATTENDING PASSED A RESOLUTTON
STATING THEIR OPPOSITION TO THE CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION OF A REFINERY IN
PORTSMOUTH, VIRGINIA. THEMAJORCO@4CERNOFTtIOSEPHYSICIANSWASTHEPOTENTIAL
HEALTH HAZARDS SLICH A REFINERY WOULD GENERATE FOR THEIR PATIENTS AND THE CITIZENS
OF TIDEWATER.
I THINK TtlE MAJORITY OF THOSE PHYSICIANS VOTING FOR THE RESOLUTION WOULD AGREE WITH
MY CONCERNS:
--THAT THE SOUTHEASTERN PORTION OF VIRGTNIA DOES NOT NOW MEET NATIONAL
AIR POLLUTION STANDARDS
--THAT THE PROPOSED REFINERY WILL ADD T[IOUSAt4VS OF TONS OF POLLUTANTS
(NONMETHANE HYDROCARBONS(1285), SULFI(R OXIDES (4863), PARTICULATE
@,iATTER (775), NITRO(',EN OXIDES (4879) PER YEAR TO THE TIDEWATER AIR
--THAT THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (EPA) .. 114TTIALLY RATED THE
REFT14ERY "ENVIRON@4EVTALLY tiNACCEPTABLE", THEIR LO(UEST RATING,
BECAUSE OF THE POLLUTANTS THE REFINERY WILL E@ITT
--THAT THE EPA WILL ONLY REMOVE THIS "ENVTRONMENTALLY UNACCEPTABLE"
RATING IF AN EMISSION OFFSET OR TRADEOFF IS tfADE IN THIS AREA OF VIRGINIA.
THE VIRGINIA HIGHWAY DEPART@IENT PROPOSES TO liSE WATER BASED ASPLIALT
ROAD PAVING MATERIAL INSTEAD OF PETROCHEMICAL BASED IN'ORDER TO RED@ICE
flYDROCARWN EMISSIONS. THESE ROADS, flOWEVER ARE LOCATED IN TF(E
FREVE,RICKSBIIRG, RlCfl@fOND AND SUFFOLK DISTRICTS
--THAT SIICH A TRADEOFF 'JAY NOT RESULT IN LESS AIR POLL(,(TTON FOR OUR PATTEN-rs
AND CITIZENS OF TIDEW
--THAT TiiE INCREASED AIR POLUT10t] li'V TIDEWATEP UlHICtl WILL RESULT FROM
ESTABLISHING A REFINERY IN PORTSMOUTH MAY CAUSE AN INCREASE IN DEATHS
OF PATIENTS SUFFERING FROM CHRONIC LUt4G DISEASES DURING PERIO'OS OF
ATMOSPHERIC INVEPSIONS
PAGE 2
---THAT THIS INCREASED AIR POLLUTION MAY EVENTUALLY PROVE.TO HAVE A HARMFUL EFFECT
ON THE HEALTH AND LUNGS OF HEALTHY C17-IZENS LIVING IN TIDEWATER (SEE AA4ERICAN
REVIEW RESPIRATORY DISEASE, AUGUST 1978, FOR EFFECTS OF OZONE ON HtAL7HY SUBJECTS
P. 287)
--THAT SURVEYS OF CANCER MORTALITY IN U.S. CO(INTIES WITH Hl(,H C014CENTRA@TIONS OF
PETROLEUM MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES HAVE INDICATED THAT RESIDENTS OF THESE
COUNTIES EXPERIENCED HIGH RATES FOR CANCERS OF THE LUt4G, THE NASAL CAVITY,
SINUSES AND SKIN (BLOT, ET AL, 1977 IN FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT STATEMENT, SEPT. 1978, FEIS)
--THAT THE SOUTF(ERN HAMPTON ROA'OS AREA ALREADY RATES NATIOAIALLY IN THE HIGHEST
10% FOR INCIDENCE OF MALIGNAN7 CANCER TRACHEA, BRONCHUS AND LUNGS (FETS,
SEPT. 1978)
--THAT TNDIVIDUALS WHO ALREADY HAVE AN INCREASED RISK OF CANCER DUE TO ASBESTOS
EXPOSURE A4AY HAVE THAT RISK MULTIPLIED BY EXPOSURE TO PETROLEUM RELATED CHEMICAL
CARCINOGENS
--TI(AT THE DRAIN THE PROPOSED REFINERY WILL HAVE ON GROUND-(YATER RESOLIRCES IN
THIS REGION MAY IMPAIR THE AVAILABILTY OF @AFE 'ORINKING WATER FOR THE FUTURE
--THAT A MAJOR OIL SPILL OFF OUR ATLANTIC COAST WOULD SERIOUSLY DAMAGE OUR BEACHES
ANV CAUSE SIGNIFICANT ECONOMIC DAMAGE TO OUR CITIZENS
--THAT A MAJOR OIL SPILL IN OUR RIVERS AND BAYS @tAV DECIMATE CRAB. CLAM AND OYSTER
POPULATIONS ANV SERIOLISLY IMPERIL T14E SHELLFISfIlNG INDUSTRIES
BEVOND RECOVERyd
--THi@T PORTSMOUTH, VIRGINIA, NEEDS NEW INDUSTRY TO REVITALIZE ITSELF IS NOT DISP@D.
BUT 114 AN AREA THAT IS ALREADY NOT MEETING CLEAN AIR STANDARDS, CLEANER INDUSTRIE@
SHOULD BE SOUGHT I
--THAT MORE REFINERIES MAV BE NEEDED ON THE EAST OCAST IS NOT DISPUTED, T)tlT THEIR
LOCATION SHOULD BE IN AREAS WHICH WILL SUFR-ER LESS ADVEPSE EFFECTS. (WHEN COMPAREV
TO T@IE OTHER 19 SITES i3EING CONSIDERED, PORTSMOUTH, IN MV OPINTON, IS ONE OF THE
LEAST DESIRABLE LOCATIONS..SEE PAGE 1-94, FINAL SUPPLEMENT TO FEIS)
--THAT REGTILATION OF THE INDUSTRIAL HEALTII HAZARDS IS OFTEN LESS THAN EFFECTIVE DESPITE
STRINGENT LAW@O AND REGULATORV AGENCIES AS WITNESSED TRAGICALLV IN OUR AREA BY KEPONE
AND ASBESTOS RELATED DISEASES.
THE SCIENTIFIC FACTOPS ARE CERTAINLY COMPLEX AND NOT COMPLETELY SETTLEI). T-,,F EPA WANTS
TO KNOFU TI[E OPINIONS OF THE CITIZENS WHO WILL BE AFFECTED BY THIS REFINERY BEFORE IVAKING
A FINAL DECISI@N.
TtIEPEFORE, IN VIEW OF THE ABOVE CONSIDEPATIO@IS, I ASK THE MEXIMPIS OF CITY COUNCIL TC) JOTN
TfIE PTJYSTCIANS OF VIRGINIA BEACH, AND OTHER L@@RESTED CITIZ@-NS, IN TAKT&G A S-FAND l@OR THE
HEALTH AND WELFARE OF OUR CITIZENS BY ADOPTING A RESOLLOON AGAINST THE CONSTRUCTION AND
OPERA7-ION OF A REFINERY IN PORTSMOUTH, VIRGINIA.

Dear Sir:
The Hampton Roads Energy Company site in Portsmouth should be immediately
eliminated from consideration as a refinery site.
A refinery in Tidewater would adversely affect a million Tidewater resi-
dents. Thousands of area businesses depend on clean air and clean water.
Recreational boating, swimming, fishing and clean beaches are all essen-
tial to Virginia Beach's tourist industry. These could be destroyed
by oil spills, liquid wastes, polluted air and odors from a refinery.
I urge you to deny the refinery permit.

We, the undersigned, believe that any new oil refining facilities in the Tttlewater area of Virginia would present a serious mreat to
human health and to the seafood and tourist indnstdes.
The southern area of Hampton Roads now ranks in the highest 10 per cent of the nation for incidence of malignant cancer of the
trachae, bronchus and lungs-and the pollutants from oil refining contain hydrocarbons which have been linked to these and other
diseases. Hydrocarbon emissions in the area already have reached such high levels that automobile use might have to be restricted,
even beyond the degree recently proposed by government officials, to compensate for a refinery's discharge.
The seafood !ndustry, now straggling against the effects of Kepone and other chemicals in the waterways, would be fnrther damaged
by a refinery s liquid wastes. And an oil spill conld be catastrophic to the seafood, boating and tourist indnstries, as well as to wildlife·
The huge amounts of fresh water required for refining oil would .jeopardize onr drinking wa(er mpp[y a supply so [~r lhat new
sources are being sought on an urgent basis.
Finally, a number of bodies dedicated to theprotection of human health and the environment have opposed construction of a
refinery here. They include the Norfolk Academy of Medicine. the Environmental Protection Agency the Norfolk District

The southern area of Hampton Roads now ranks in the highest 10 per cent of the nation for incidence of malignant cancer of the
trachae, bronchus and lungs-and the pollutants from oil refining contain hydrocarbons which have been linked to these and other
diseases. Hydrocarbon emissions in the area already have reached such high levels that automob, ile use might have to be restricted,
even beyond the degree recently proposed by government officials, to compensate for a refinery s discharge.
The seafood !ndustry now struggling against the effects of Kepone and other chemicals in the waterways, would be further damaged
by a refinery s liquid wastes. And an oil spill could be catastrophic to the seafood, boating and tourist industries, as well as to wildlife.
The hnge amounts of fresh water required for refiuing oil would jeopardize our drinking water supply-a supply so low that new
sources are being sought on an urgent basis.
Finally, a number of bodies dedicated to tbeprotection of human health and the environment have opposed construction of a
refinery here. They include the Norfolk Academy of Medicine, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Norfolk District
Corps of Engineers, the U. S. Marine Fisheries Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Virginia Department of Shellfish

The Governor of ~fr~nia and the City Councils of Tidewater, Hrginia:
We the unders d, believe that any new oil refining facilities in the Tidewater area of V~inla would present a ~erloul mint to
human health and to the seafood and tourist industries.
The southern area of Hampton Roads now ranks in the highest 10 per cent of the nation for incidence of malignant can~er of the
trachae bronchus and lungs-and the pollutants from oil refiuinlg conta~,n,h.y,dr?c~bo.ns which ha.v.e, been lin. k?d,to th?~ and ?t.h?.
disease~. Hydrocarbon emissions in the area already have reached SUCh mgn leve:s that automo?e use might nave to ~e ressrtcteu,
even beyondthe degree recently proposed by government officials, to compensate for a refinery s discharge.
The seafood !ndustry, now struggling against the effects of Kepone and other chemica s n the waterways, would be further damaged
by a refinery s liquid wastes. And an oil spill could be catastrophic to the seafood, boating and tourist industries, as we as to wildlife.
The huge amounts of fresh water required for refining oil would jeopardize our drinking water supply-a supply so low that new
sources are being sought on an urgent basis.
Finally, a number of bodies dedicated to the protection of human health and the environment have opposed construction of a
refinery here. They include the N. orfol.k Ac. ademy .of M.edic. i.n~e, t~h.e. Env!r~,.n~, .e.n~tal_ Pro. tecg,on :A. ge.ncy, ~tl~e__N_.o_~OJ?o~i~t~e~fish

The southern area of Hampton Roads now ranks iu the highest 10 per cent of the nation for incidence of malignant cance~ of the
trachae bronchus and lungs-and the pollutants from oil refining contain hydrocarbons which have been linked to these and other
diseases. Hydrocarbon emissions in the area already have reached such high levels that automob, ile use might have to be restricted,
even beyond the degree recently proposed by government officials, to compensate for a refineD' s discharge.
The seafood !ndustry now struggliug against the effects of Kepone and other chemicals in the waterways, would be further dama~ged
by a refinery s lkluid wastes. And an oi spi cuu d be catastrophic to the seafood, boating and tourist industries, as well as to wildlife.
The huge amnunts of fresh water required for refining oil would jeupardize our drinking water supply ~ a supply so Iow that new
sources are being sought on an urgent basis.
Finally, a number of bodies dedicated to theprotection of human health and the environment have opposed construction of a

We, lite undersigned, believe that any new oil refining facilities in the Tidewater area of Virginia would present a sertous mreat to
human health and to the seafood and tourist industries.
The southern area of Hampton Roads now ranks in the highest I0 per cent of the nation for incidence of malignant cancer of the
trachae, bronchus and lungs-and the pollutants from oil refining contain hydrocarbons wh ch have been nked to these and other
diseases. Hydrocarbon emissions in the area already have reached such high levels that automobile use might have to be restricted,
even beyond the degree recently proposed by government officials, to compensate for a refinery's discharge.
The seafood !ndustry, now struggling against the effects of Kepone and other cbemicals in the waterways, would be further damaged
by a refinery s liquid wastes· And an oil spill could be catastrophic to the seafood, boating and tourist industries, as well as to wildlife.
The huge amounts of fresh water required for refining oil would jeopardize our drinking waler snpply a supply so Iow that new
