Freeport Marine Terminal Wins Premier Environmental Award

Freeport, Texas - August 09, 2006

The Freeport Marine Terminal, located at Dow’s Plant A facility in Freeport, TX has received the highest level award given by the U.S. Coast Guard. The OSPREY statuette awarded for the 2006 William M. Benkert Environmental Award (large business facility category) was announced by the U.S. Coast Guard Assistant Commandant for Prevention, Rear Admiral Craig E. Bone at the American Petroleum Institute Tanker Conference in San Diego, CA.

“It was very gratifying to see the full breadth of our work and accomplishments compiled in one place,” said Dawn Brubaker, Marine & Terminal Operations process leader. “We couldn’t have won this award without the quality of work and the high caliber people we have in the Freeport Marine Terminal, North America Marine, and EH&S (Environment, Health and Safety). I am extremely proud of this team.”

The award is the premier national honor that recognizes excellence in marine environmental protection. This award was created to recognize vessel and facilities operators who have implemented outstanding marine environmental protection programs - programs that far exceed mere compliance with industrial and regulatory standards.

The OSPREY level honor is not awarded each year. It is reserved for significant achievement. Subsequent levels of award following the OSPREY level, in order of precedence, are: Gold, Silver, Bronze and Honorable Mention.

Bob Walker, Vice President and Site Leader for Texas Operations added “This award is great recognition of the outstanding efforts Dow people put forth to protect the environment. My congratulations go to the entire Marine Terminal group here in Texas Operations.”

The 2006 Benkert Award competition was comprised of six award categories, Large Vessels Operations, Large Facilities Operations, Foreign Vessels Operations, Small Business Vessel Operations, Small Business Facilities Operations, and Special Small Business Operations.
