On August 6, 2012, the Chevron U.S.A. Inc. Refinery in Richmond, California experienced a catastrophic pipe rupture in the #4 Crude Unit. The ruptured pipe released flammable, high temperature light gas oil, which then partially vaporized into a large, opaque vapor cloud. Approximately two minutes following the release, the released process fluid ignited. 15,000 people from the surrounding communities sought medical treatment.

As a result of ongoing concern regarding the safety of the facility Congress directed the CSB to commission the National Academy of Sciences to study the feasibility of reducing or eliminating the inventory of methyl isocynanate stored at the Bayer plant.
