Environmental Phase — Finished: • $300 million investment. • Producing low-sulfur fuels. • Increased refining capacity. • Reduced emissions. • Decreased flaring and odors.

Vehicles using our low-sulfur fuels have: Reduced SO2 ~ 90% (about700 tons per year) Reduced NOX ~ 80% (about 700 tons per year)

Modernization Project Update

Waxy Crude Phase — Permitting For: • $300 million investment (First Phase). • Take advantage of Utah waxy crudes. • Increase refining capacity.

Current Phase I Phase II Waxy Utah Crudes 10,000 24,000 bpd 40,000 Total Crude Refined 31,000 45,000 bpd 60,000

Cleaner to process Sulfur Metals Volatility

Modernization Project Update

Our industrial area footprint will stay the same.

Modernization Project Update

Understand There Will Be Impacts Rail loading and unloading Increased truck traffic

Solutions We Are Implementing Rail switches on our line done by 8 pm.

Anticipate trucks will have latest emission controls; implementing a no-idling while loading policy; participating in a transportation options study. Held a job fair in West Bountiful; communicate with workers our way of doing business and the importance of our actions in the community.

Using Best Available Control Technology;

committed to operating safely and responsibly.

Odor: • Waste-water plan implemented. • Sealed manholes downstream of flume house. • Installed new seals in wastewater tanks. • Improvements to treat wastewater. • Installed a weather system to help investigate complaints. • Implemented an odor complaint response process. • Resident complaints significantly reduced.

Activities & Processes Flaring:

• Vital part of running safely. • White clouds are water vapor or steam from cooling towers. • Flow monitors were installed to better control steam in flare. • Propane flare replaced with a cleaner-burning air assisted flare, now

decommissioned with the closing of the propane storage unit.. • South flare temporarily shut down and everything diverted to north flare. • North flare has new larger knockout vessel. • Resident complaints about noise and light reduced.
