This will accelerate the fueling process and help facilitate traffic flow on the site. This will also provide greater ease of use through light weight nozzles and hoses. A credit card activated or card reader system will be installed to allow for payment at the pump. The dispensers will be moved further apart to allow for easier access to the pumps. The current gasoline island canopy will also be remodeled to conform to the revised architecture of the facility. Included in this remodel will be improvements in canopy down lighting to make the fueling area safer. Gasoline service will be available 24 hours per day. All of these improvements are geared towards one goal - to make purchasing gasoline as safe, easy, and fast as possible.

An attendant guides customers into the car wash tunnel. Customers will remain in their car as it travels through the tunnel on an automatic conveyor. A second attendant will quickly towel dry the car once it leaves the conveyor. The wash will take 2-3 minutes from start to finish. A full line of car protection upgrade packages will be offered (ie Waxes). Video technology via payment at the pump system installed within the gasoline dispensers will also provide additional customer convenience. The PROWASH EXPRESS SERVICE car wash will be open from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. daily. /o of the water used to wash and rinse the car is reclaimed. All the water used to wash and rinse the car is captured in the conveyor trench. From the trench, the water Is drained to clarifier tanks where suspended solids settle to the bottom of the tanks as the water flows through them. Clear water is then transferred from the clarifier tanks, through filters, for reuse. Compared to the 75 gallons typically used in a driveway washing, only 13 gallons of fresh water is needed to wash each car. This facility will help minimize residential driveway washing and chemical inflow to the storm drain system. Most of the noise generated from car wash operations stems from the air dryer. However, the decibel level attenuates to ambient noise levels at approximately 30 feet. To help minimize noise concerns, Unocal has placed the dryer as far back as possible from the exit end of the tunnel. UNOCAL® NOISE CONTROL Most of the noise generated from car wash operations stems from the air dryer. A typical dryer produces 83 decibels at five (5) feet from the source. However, the decibel level quickly attenuate to ambient noise levels at thirty (30) feet. To help minimize noise concerns, Unocal has placed the dryer as far back as possible from the exit end of the tunnel. To further mitigate the noise, Unocal has oriented the air intake opening toward the interior back wall, which will be constructed with 8 inch masonry blocks. UNOCAL® WATER CONSERVATION The car wash industry has been a front runner in water conservation for many years. 80% of the water used to wash and rinse the car at PROWASH EXPRESS SERVICE car wash is reclaimed. Compared to the 75 gallons typically used in a driveway washing, only 13 gallons of fresh water is needed to rinse each car. All the water used to wash and rinse the car at PROWASH EXPRESS SERVICE is captured in the conveyor trench. From the trench, the water is drained to clarifier tanks where suspended solids settle to the bottom of the tanks as the water flows through them. Clear water is then transferred from the clarifier tanks, through filters, for reuse. In accordance with local waste water disposal ordinances, mud that remains in the clarifier tanks is regularly disposed of at non-hazardous liquid waste treatment plants. UNOCAL® LANDSCAPING Unocal's Five Star Landscaping Program is an important part of this project. This program emphasizes bright colors at the most visible areas of the facility: • the corner planter • near driveways • at the gasoline islands • near the buildings Landscaping is installed by landscaping professionals. Sprinklers will be upgraded to an automated system. In the new design, planter space will be divided into bright blooms (40%) and ground cover and shrubbery. Bright blooms will be positioned for maximum visibility and will be rotated in April and September. Ground cover and shrubbery will provide a striking accent to the flowering plants. Multi-colored and ever blooming Gazanias will serve as a general ground cover. Shrubbery will include elegant evergreens such as Nandena, New Zealand flax, and Pittisporum Wheeleri. After the initial installation, a maintenance service will visit the site at least twice a month to keep the planters looking fresh and inviting. They will clean, weed, fertilize and handle pest problems. They will also remove faded blooms and replace damaged plants. UNOCAL® EXTERIOR LIGHTING UPGRADE This project includes replacement of current exterior florescent light fixtures with state-of-the-art metal halide light fixtures which provide high intensity, energy efficient, down lighting designed not to effect adjacent properties and public right-of-ways. The improved down lighting will deter loitering and provide a safer, more secure environment for the neighborhood.
