Dear Madame Mayor and Council members,

Today, Chevron U.S.A. Inc. (CUSA) submitted a detailed Investigation Report to the Contra Costa Health Services (CCHS) into the causes of the August 2012 incident at the Richmond Refinery. The report summarizes the investigation findings and recommendations. We also provided CCHS an update on the status of the actions we are taking to prevent a similar incident in the future.

We encourage you to read about our actions, as well as our investigation report by clicking here (http://richmond.chevron.com/home.aspx )

We want to express our thanks to everyone who has worked with us through this process – our employees and contractors, the city of Richmond, and local, state and federal agencies.  You have our commitment to continuously improve the safety and reliability of our operations.

Best,

Nigel
