6. November 17th meeting minutes – Subject Matter Expert mix from CTAC and NMSAC (HCTSS)
Key Discussions - Alternatives to funding and information gathering
•Can we use data from old (2011) commodity flow study?
•If new commodity flow study cannot be funded, what are alternatives?
•Need a matrix with the following information – volume; use; transport data (load/unload).
•Craft and deliver a questionnaire focused on CDC’s of concern. Create a delivery method using USCG, private industry, Industry Organizations or a combination of the three. Effective delivery conduit is key.
•Discuss priorities of task statement
•Discuss other risk rated CDC’s for consideration of inclusion on list.
Meeting before last.
ABS conducted a Commodity Flow Study for CG-FAC back in 2011.
Unfortunately, members of the subcommittee came to the conclusion that we cannot use the information from the 2011 study.
Market changes along with new customers emerging in a wider variety of regions rendered most of the information unusable.
The subcommittee is currently working with local officials and SMEs in monitoring EHCs.
Conducting the new study will require data to be made available and shared.
We are envisioning an interactive study in which members of the subcommittee can revise and inform as market changes occur.
The subcommittee is putting together a list of helpful points of contact for future information and reference.
Our goal is to provide all involved enough knowledge to update the report, or at least monitor changes and trends within the chemical transportation community to determine whether the current or future risk changes.
