WELCOME TO THE 1996 WTERMTIOML HAZARDOUS MATERIAL SPILLS CONFERENCE
ince the early
70s, a confer-
ence has been
held every two
years to examine
how nations,
states, communities,
and industry deal with
accidents involving
hazardous materials.
Our 1994 conference
in Buffalo stressed the
positive changes in
chemical accident pre-
vention and prepared-
ness since the Bhopal
tragedy with the will-
ingness of all parties --
government, industry,
international organiza-
tions, interest groups,
and the public -- to
work together and form effective partnerships. As a
result of these partnersliips, communities are more
aware and better informed of die hazards posed by
dangerous chemicals. Government and industry are
not only better prepared to respond to spills and releas-
es, but also to prevent them. Countries and interna-
tional organizations have begun to work together to
exchange information, technologies, and lessons
learned from chemical preparedness and prevention
activities.
During die 1996 International Hazardous Material
Spills Conference you will be challenged to carry these
partnerships forward to die desired state of
preparedness, prevention, and response in your
communities for the year 2000 and beyond. We will share our
visions for the year 2000 and beyond and will also explore the
boundaries that need to be bridged between stakeholder groups.
By focusing on the safety continuum of preparedness, preven-
tion, and response, all of the participants can identify bridges to
overcome those boundaries. With clear visions for the future, we
will be better prepared to incorporate new regulations, policies,
and technologies into our safety efforts for the next century.
I hope the combination of presentations, discussions, and train-
ing will result in a better understanding of changes that may
need to occur to bring us into the 21st century. I invite you to
become an active participant in this conference through your
questions, discussions, and suggestions. Please be sure to com-
plete the evaluation form at the back of this brochure to assist us
in planning an effective conference in 1998.
I extend my sincere appreciation to all the conference sponsors.
Enjoy the conference and be an active participant!

Section 112(r) of the CAA requires regulated sources to develop a risk management pro-
gram that will include a hazard assessment, a prevention program, and an emergency
response program. Regulated sources also must prepare a risk management plan
(RMP). LEPCs and other panelists will describe what they perceive to be their role in
the RMP information exchange process, and identify factors that can foster a successful
dialogue between the public and industry, as well as impediments that can undermine
the communication process.

On December 13, 1994, the Terra Industries, ..Inc., nitrogen fertilizer facility near
Sioux City, Iowa exploded, killing four people, injuring eighteen others, and evacuating
2,500 residents living as far as thirty miles away from the facility. Approximately one
million gallons of anhydrous ammonia, 25,000 gallons of nitric acid, and an unknown
quantity of ammonium nitrate were released into the environment. On January 23,
1995, EPA released its Investigation Report on the accident. Participants should gain an
understanding of root cause accident investigations and how their findings can lead to
enhanced chemical safety and accident risk reduction.

An explosion occurred at the Powell Duffryn facility in Savannah, GA on April 11,
1995. Six tanks containing various toxic chemicals were involved. During the explo-
sion, 400,000 gallons of sulfate turpentine were burned and 200,000 gallons were
spilled into the nearby marsh. To eliminate extremely hazardous potentials to nearby
residents, the Oak Tree Apartments underwent a mandatory evacuation for approxi-
mately one month. Health and human safety and the decision to evacuate along with
environmental concern involving the nearby marsh will be discussed.
