Fourteenth International Hazardous
f
Material Spills Conference
™^^
* s 3.^.^.
At the fourteenth international meeting on hazardous material spill prevention, prepared-^
ness, and response, we will have a special focus on risk management. Historically, this con- _„
ference has provided an exceptional opportunity for communities, industry, states, and
nations to examine existing policies, tools, and organizations that foster prevention, pre-
paredness, and response activities. As we close this decade, we're footing to build on exist-
ing tools and identify new tools that can help close the loop of the prevention, preparedness,
and response continuum. Fittingly, this year's meeting will be held in the Chicago "loop."
The conference will offer a wide range of sessions focusing on risk management from a vari-
ety of perspectives. The topics that will be covered include: , \ ,*,,-';
• Regulatory Announcements (including new hazsub regulations under OM 90),
• Using (EPA's) Model Risk Management Plan (RMP) Guidance for Target Industries, and,""
• RMP*Subm/t'M and

Working Together Along the U.S./Mexico Border
Successful contingency planning across international borders
requires the involvement of stakeholders at all levels of govern-
ment—federal, state, and local. Establishing good working rela-
tionships prior to a chemical accident is a major step toward
developing a complete contingency plan and preventing chemical
accidents in the future. This session will discuss the interaction
and exchange of information among all stakeholders in prevent-
ing, planning for, and responding to transboundary chemical acci-
dents. •';..;.„

will be used and several unique aspects of response in the
Chicago area will make this an interesting exercise to observe.
Conference participants will be able to walk through the room
and observe at any time during the day-long exercise. Lessons
learned during the exercise will be discussed during an optional
brown bag luncheon debrief on Wednesday.
8:30- 10:00
Coordinated Contingency Planning: Strategies and

methods for communicating information in risk management
plans to the public.
Methodology for Improving International
Communication of Risk Assessment Terminology
Related to Chemical Accidents
When observing the wide range of meanings associated with risk
assessment terminology related to major chemical accidental
releases throughout the world, there is a lack of consistency in
the use of terms, which may lead to misunderstanding of the
approaches/tools used and the significance of results obtained.
To address this need, an international group of the Organization
for Economic Cooperation and Development developed a com-
puter-based dictionary/thesaurus that makes more transparent
the Intended meaning of terminology associated with the risk
assessment process, definitions, regulations, guidance, etc. This
session will present an overview of the computer-based dictio-
nary/thesaurus and its application by representatives from two
countries participating in the development and testing of the
project.
The Joint Information Center Workshop
Information can make or break a response. This session will
show how to structure a Joint Information Center for accurate,
timely and one-voice information flow. The structure and
process presented are based on Incident Command System prin-
ciples and are designed from the ground up to be all-hazard, all-
Incident and all-agency. This structure has been used in several
actual responses and PREP drills by both government and indus-
try. The best practices of years of responses have been com-
piled into a manual. This manual was designed by the USCG's
Public Information Assist Team, with the input of other federal,
state, and Industry public affairs representatives, to meet the
needs of the National Response Team as a standard national
model.
COMPUTER TRAINING: CAMEO®: Hands-on
ALOHA
The ALOHA atmospheric dispersion model predicts the down-
Wind dispersion of a chemical cloud. ALOHA allows the user to
estimate the characteristics of an air chemical release and map
the distribution of the airborne contaminant based on actual^
atmospheric and release characteristics. Graphical outputs
include estimates of the plume footprint, source strength, and
chemical concentration curves. Using a scenario-based example,
the trainee will enter the required atmo'spSericlinS accident
data and will use ALOHA to predict the movement of the toxic
cloud. Using MARPLOT, a mapping application, the trainee will
display the ALOHA output on a digitized map. Topics explored
during the course wilf include the limitations of ALOHA, selec-
tion of an appropriate Level of Concern, and using ALOHA for
RMP calculations^
for Warehouses and
parts of the CAA section 1 1 2(r) rule, including offsite conse-
quence analysis and prevention program information, tailored to
the specific chemicals and processes in the warehouse and
chemical distributors sectors. EPA and members of the:
Association will use this training session to present the model
that addresses such issues as how to determine applicability and
program levels, how to conduct offsite consequence analysis for
the specific chemicals and processes, and how to miSet'thes
Program 2 and Program 3 prevention program requirements/
This training session also will give attendees an opportunity to
provide feedback to EPA and the Association on how the model,
now in draft form, could be improved and made more useful to
chemical distributors and warehouses. ^ , '

" The unique aspect of this session is the consideration given to
health and'safety isjsues other, than those that are chemical and
industrial hygiene in nature, including ergonomics, psycho-social
impacts, and safety. All of these issues play large roles in a
response situation and need to^be sufficiently dealt with in order
to increase response effectiveness. Also to be discussed are *
new and innovative ways to develop a health and safety pro-
gram. Emergency respondefs,'health and safety supervisors, and
