Capitol Hill Report
concerns about the availability of
ULSD in emergencies, especially
with the Arcadia, La., terminal
being on the TEPPCO pipeline.
This decision by Enterprise has the
potential to cause major supply issues
throughout the TEPPCO system
under normal circumstances. But in
an emergency, such as the hurricanes
of recent years, the petroleum
industry's ability to provide ULSD
will be seriously compromised. In
particular, the terminal in Arcadia, La.,
has been a crucial source of ULSD in
the aftermath of hurricanes. With the
termination of ULSD shipments by
Enterprise, if emergency responders
are forced to rely on rail, barge and
trucking to transport ULSD into
12

the area, emergency preparedness
will be seriously compromised.
The associations also expressed
concern about whether alternative
supply sources will be able to absorb
the ULSD volume when TEPPCO
abandons interstate shipments, in
addition to the high costs associated
with trucking product long distances,
the availability of common carrier tank
trucks for additional ULSD shipments,
driver hours-of service limitations and
other logistics challenges.
