Subject: BizFed Support Letter: World Oil Tank Installation Project
-EXTERNAL-
Mayor Garcia and the Long Beach City Councilmembers,
Please find attached BizFeds support for the World Oil Installation Project.
World Oil is principally a recycler of used oils and waste antifreeze. At its facility in South Gate, World Oil makes asphalts for paving and roofing applications. As California pushes towards our clean energy goals, it is important that we support industries who help our state become more resilient by utilizing recycled materials and using already existing infrastructure to meet our economy’s critical infrastructure demands. We believe adding storage capacity to the World Oil facilities is a reasonable request and is working in the best interest of California policies.
Thank you! Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Sarah Wiltfong

This project would provide additional storage capacity at their Port facility to increase the efficiency of their terminal operations. World Oil is principally a recycler of used oils and waste antifreeze. The company collects, transports, and recycles used waste oil products from over 20,000 auto repair and auto servicing sites in CA, NV, AZ and NM. At its facility in South Gate, World Oil makes asphalts for paving and roofing applications. Its facility at the Port has 7 tanks that store feed for the asphalt plant and leases tanks for bunker fuel. The proposed project will add two smaller tanks to add flexibility and increase the efficiency of its operations. With the addition of the two smaller tanks, the project will be able to provide surge capacity for blending and storage of marine fuels to meet cleaner IMO 2020 standards, which will directly benefit Port tenants who use these fuels. What’s more, this Project will have no significant environmental impact, will not cause or contribute to new odors, and all neighbors are approximately ½-mile from the Terminal. As California pushes towards our clean energy goals, it is important that we support industries who help our state become more resilient by utilizing recycled materials and using already existing infrastructure to meet our economy’s critical infrastructure demands. We believe adding storage capacity to the World Oil facilities is a reasonable request and is working in the best interest of California policies. We hope that you will support this project. If you have any questions, please contact [email protected].
