Tesoro Amorco Marine Oil Terminal Lease Consideration

Document Description: Tesoro Refining and Marketing Company (Tesoro), a wholly owned subsidiary of Tesoro Petroleum Corporation, leases 16.6 acres of sovereign public land from the CA State Lands Commission for the Tesoro Amorco Marine Oil Terminal (Amorco MOT) (PRC 3453.1). The Applicant is seeking approval from the CSLC for a new 30-year lease. The MOT exists and is currently operating, and no changes to the facilities or operations are proposed; however, issuance of a new 30-year lease will require the preparation of an EIR because, among other potentially significant impacts, there is an inherent risk of spills at any facility where petroleum product is routinely transferred over water.
