Preface
This study was conducted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 9, in
order to assist in chemical emergency planning and prevention efforts at the US/Mexico
border. The cities of San Diego, California and Tijuana, Baja California are one of the
six Sister City pairs on Region 9's border with Mexico under USEPA's Border XXI
Program. More details about USEPA's Border XXI Program are available at
http://www.epa.gov/usmexicoborder/ef.htm.
A better understanding of the chemical safety risks posed by transportation in San
Diego County would enable federal, state and local officials to make more informed
decisions on the allocation of resources and the management of hazardous substances
in the community. Decisions on zoning, traffic lights, traffic routes, and traffic schedules
could be more tailored to actual chemical risks. Emergency responder work schedules,
staff levels and training could be adjusted to address specific chemical risks. Federal
financial and technical assistance could be targeted to address specific concerns.
The study identifies the nature, quantities and routes of hazardous substances
transported in or near San Diego County. Imports and exports, including hazardous
waste, are taken into account. The study draws upon all major sources of relevant data
at all levels of government. This kind of information is valuable to emergency planners
and responders, but is not readily available to them. The study brings together all
available information into one place. USEPA desires to have the study serve as a
useful tool and an ongoing reference document for emergency planning and response
purposes.

San Diego Hazardous Material Commodity Flow Study

1 Introduction
USEPA Region 9 has placed high priority on improving chemical safety in the
US/Mexico Border area and contracted SAIC to study the commodity flow of hazardous
materials through the San Diego/Tijuana border region.
What is a commodity flow study?
A commodity is any physical good moving, or any good being transported. A
commodity flow study is a report on the goods that are moving through a particular area.
Everyday, the nation's roads, railways, airports and seaports are filled with goods
moving to market. These goods range from packaged retail goods moving from
manufacturers to stores, to industrial products moving from producer to user, to farm
products and foodstuffs moving to distribution centers. A little over 3% of the U.S. gross
domestic product was spent on transportation in 1997. That is $255 billion to move
goods from one place to another. This amount of transportation puts an enormous
amount of pressure on the nation's transportation infrastructure. The goal of a
commodity flow study is to map these goods to the transportation system in a given
area. This particular study addresses the flow of hazardous materials through the San
Diego County region.
The size and complexity of a commodity flow study is primarily dependent on the size of
the area under analysis. A commodity flow study tracks the flow of goods for an entire
country, a state or a local municipality. As the area under study grows, the complexity
of the transportation system and the difficulties of mapping the interrelationships of the
businesses within the region increase. Limiting a commodity flow study to a local area
provides better accuracy and allows better decision-making by local policy-makers.
Historically, urban and regional planners and transportation officials are the primary
beneficiaries of commodity flow analysis. They use the results of such studies to
understand the needs of businesses in their community, plan highways, make zoning
decisions, and compete for funding for infrastructure projects. As commodity flow
studies evolve, more information is learned that is applied in related fields. This San
Diego study limited the commodities under study to hazardous materials. The phrase
"hazardous material movements" is synonymous with commodity flow for the purpose of
this study.
The information in this study allows the development of better disaster preparedness
plans, helps to determine whether emergency response equipment is appropriately
placed and whether responder training is adequate, and can assist officials to minimize
hazardous material releases.
A material is hazardous if it exhibits one or more of the following characteristics1:
1 Definitions from USEPA at www.epa.gov.
San Diego Hazardous Material Commodity Flow Study Page 1

-------
• Ignitability. Can create fires under certain conditions. Examples include liquids that
catch fire, such as solvents and fuels, and friction-sensitive substances.
• Corrosivity. Is acidic and capable of corroding metal (such as tanks, containers,
drums, and barrels).
• Reactivity. Can create explosions or toxic fumes, gases, and vapors when exposed
or mixed with water.
• Toxicity. Harmful or fatal when ingested, breathed, or absorbed by the skin.
When many of these materials are disposed of on land, contaminated liquid may drain
(leach) from the materials and pollute the soil and ground water.
Hazardous materials come in all shapes and forms. Any solid, liquid, or gaseous
material that is toxic, flammable, radioactive, corrosive, chemically reactive, or unstable
after prolonged storage could pose a threat to life, property, or the environment.2

2 Methodology
The purpose of this study is to provide a commodity flow study of hazardous materials
to aid local, state, and federal authorities to understand the volume and nature of
hazardous material movements into, out of, and through the region, in particular San
Diego County. To accomplish this goal, the study employed a step-by-step
methodology, as described below.
Stakeholders - The first step in developing a commodity flow study that is both accurate
and useful is to understand the stakeholders that are affected by the movement of
hazardous materials in and through San Diego County. To some degree, all residents
and public officials are concerned with hazardous materials traveling through their
community. The residents that have the most interest are those living in close proximity
to hazardous material travel routes and potential release sites. A goal of this study is to
identify those routes so residents are aware of the risks in their areas.
Fire and emergency response officials are interested in the quantities and types of
hazardous materials in order to plan effectively. These officials are entrusted with
protection of the public. This type of information allows them to ensure that they are
properly trained and equipped. The nature of the hazardous risk affects the number of
emergency personnel needed and their training needs. The police department is
generally the first on the scene in an emergency or accident. They too have an interest
in the movements of hazardous materials. Police procedures and tactics will reflect the
particular nature of the risks present in the local area.
Planning officials can use the results of this study to improve decision-making. By
understanding the travel routes that are most at risk, planning officials may make
informed decisions regarding zoning and public projects, like schools. Some activities,
such as warehousing, can also create hazardous risks, depending upon the types and
volumes of goods they are handling and their commitment to safety. Planning officials
can institute policies to help relocate businesses or activities that pose hazardous risks
to appropriate areas of the city without reducing desired economic activity. Planning
officials can use the results of this study to help support funding requests for
transportation projects. In every state, transportation needs far outweigh the availability
of funds. Those projects that are supported by solid analysis, including identified
environmental risks that will be alleviated by new construction, fare better in the budget
arena.
Interviews with local authorities and stakeholders were conducted, in order to
understand how border traffic affects city plans, residents and the region.
Data Collection - The next phase of the study involved a thorough data collection effort.
Data was collected on the commodities that are present in the local area, the flow of
goods in the region, and sensitive areas in the region.
Within San Diego, the types and quantities of commodities present are determined by
three activities. San Diego's position close to border crossings creates considerable
amounts of international trade. Imports and exports through the San Diego area road
and rail crossing points include a sizable amount of the total hazardous materials in the
region. Another source of hazardous materials is the economic activities generated in

the wider region, from the industrial areas in the southern region of San Diego County to
the Los Angeles area to the north. These population centers generate goods that are
transported through the San Diego area, generally via Interstates 1-5 and 1-805. The
third source of goods in transit is the local commerce that necessitates the movement of
goods from one business to another.
The "flow" information began with an examination of the transportation network. This
included major truck routes, rail lines, border facilities, and surface streets. Truck
counts available from state agencies provided a better understanding of the natural flow
of goods through the city and region. Examining the business information (both inter-
and intra-region) helped isolate individual commodities to specific roads.
Data collection of the sensitive and local characteristics of the region gave the study
relevance to the community. These data included planning documents, traffic accident
data, historic spill information, road characteristics and population and business
formation trends.
Interviews with local authorities provided a better understanding of border traffic,
transportation routes in and through the county, and the effect of the county layout on
residents. To better support the study, data was collected from local, state, and federal
agencies.
Data Analysis - After gathering the data, an analysis of imports and exports by mode of
transportation, volume, and shipment weight by type (tariff classification) was
conducted. The analysis identified the hazardous materials flowing through the area.
Reported accidents and spills were analyzed over a period of 5 years. This analysis
identifies particular locations within the region that contribute most often to the number
of reported accidents and spills.
Business location data was first mapped on a regional basis. Local businesses were
evaluated to determine whether any are large producers or purchasers of hazardous
materials that contribute to locally bound truck traffic.
This portion of the study developed general knowledge of the hazardous material types
that are present in the region. After the "commodity " portion of the study was
completed, the work moved to define hazardous material movements.
Determining Transportation of Hazardous Materials - In this task, data analysis
combined traffic data with hazardous material movements. An analysis of the local
traffic patterns to and from the San Diego area border crossings (north/south and
east/west directions) yielded the primary border routes. Next, truck counts at specific
locations along the interstate highway and arterial access roads were analyzed. This
identified the flow of trucks along the traffic network. Finally, the practical operations of
the Otay Mesa port of entry and the procedures for moving trucks to and from the
border crossing were examined to determine the most-used surface streets and any
time-of-day issues.
Next, an analysis of rail traffic determined direction and crossing procedures. Because
there is only one rail crossing at San Ysidro, the identity of the hazardous materials
moving across the rail infrastructure is known. However, rail-crossing procedures were
analyzed to determine whether there are points along the tracks at which the rail
companies store goods pending final transport.

-------
Hot Spots - The next task was to determine hot spots around the region. This identifies
potential risk areas and any links between problem areas and critical infrastructure,
which can be useful to local officials. The first part of this task involved the identification
of all areas that were environmentally sensitive. This included bodies of water that are
sources of drinking water or that have unique environmental significance. It also
included wetlands or any geographical areas where a spill or release might create
significant risk to the population.
The second part of this task was to identify places and points along major traffic routes
that are at a higher level of risk in the event of an accident. These include schools,
dense population centers, and public gathering points like parks or markets. In
evaluating these hot spots, the study looked at their proximity to truck routes and rail
lines and the types of hazards that are present.
The final task was to look at potential hot spots that may be emerging, or that are
located at emergency routes, where they may become a problem in the event of a spill
or release. For example, the study examined major traffic areas that are potential
problem sites if traffic grows to a point where the road infrastructure can no longer
adequately handle the amount of traffic. Roads are constructed for a pre-determined
amount and type of traffic. If smaller residential roads become favorite truck routes,
then the potential for accidents becomes greater. The study examined the hazardous
material movements to determine whether there are emerging hot spots in the region.
Knowledge Transfer - The final task was to provide suggestions to local officials on
ways to monitor hazardous materials in their areas. Conducting this study required data
to be made available and to be shared. For this task, the study provides a list of helpful
points of contact for future information. In addition, a list of publicly available web sites
and data sources is provided. The goal is to give emergency planners and responders
enough knowledge to update this report, or at least to monitor trends, to determine
whether the nature of their environmental risk is changing.

3 Regional Overview
3.1 San Diego County
San Diego County is in Southern California, located on the Pacific Ocean and the U.S.-
Mexico border. The region is part of the San Diego Customs District, which includes a
total of four ports of entry for hazardous material traffic: San Diego, San Ysidro, Tecate,
and Otay Mesa.
The majority of the population of San Diego County is concentrated in and around the
city of San Diego with roughly 60% of the total population of the county located in this
area.
Table 3-1 shows that the population of San Diego County was approximately 2,856,050
in 2000, up from 17% just 10 years before3. The population of the county is expected to
continue growing at an annual rate of approximately 8%.

3.2 City of San Diego
San Diego is a Southern California city, located on the Pacific Ocean and the U.S.-
Mexico border. Because of its location, San Diego is perfect for companies interested
in international markets, especially those in Latin America and on the Pacific Rim. San
Diego is strategically located just 17 miles from Tijuana and the international border with
Mexico. With a population of approximately 1.2 million, San Diego is the sixth largest
city in the country and the second largest in California. Figure 3-1 below is a map of the
San Diego County showing the cities and interstate highways. Figure 3-2 below is a
map focusing on the portion of San Diego County near San Ysidro and Otay Mesa, two
of the border crossings. Figure 3-2 shows key features in more detail.
San Diego provides border access between large transportation hubs such as San
Francisco, Los Angeles, Phoenix and Baja California. San Diego is the second most
populous of California's 58 counties, with a population of 2.8 million in 2000. San Diego
County covers approximately 4,255 square miles - 65 miles from north to south and 86
miles from east to west. San Diego has four major interstate freeways and six state
highways.

3.3 City of Tijuana
Tijuana lies in the northwest corner of Baja California along the Pacific Ocean and the
Mexico-U.S. border, 12 miles south of San Diego. After beginning as a ranch on a land
grant in 1862, Tijuana initially developed as a border resort, with gambling, casinos and
related activities during the 1920s as a consequence of Prohibition in the United States.
Its recent fast growth, however, is due to steady industrialization. Tijuana's population
has been growing since 1950, accelerating to an annual growth rate of 5% from 1970
to 1995. In 2000, the total city population was 1,212,232, which was 48.7% of the total
population of Baja California.
Tijuana is the site of the largest concentration of maquiladora firms in the state and in
the country. In May 1996, 516 maquiladora plants provided jobs for 108,282 people.
Many of the most important U.S. and Asian firms operate plants in the city's industrial
districts, where an extensive variety of electrical household appliances are assembled,
such as video recorders and televisions. Because of this economic transformation,
Tijuana is known as "TV City" because it is the biggest television manufacturing center
in the world.
Tijuana's economy also flourishes with trade, tourism and other services. Tijuana has
been called the most visited city in the world. In 1995, over 50 million people crossed
the border at Tijuana.

Maquiladoras - A maquiladora is an assembly or manufacturing operation located in
Mexico that is fully or partially owned by a non-Mexican person or company. A
maquiladora employs competitively-priced Mexican labor in assembly processing or
other manufacturing operations. Maquiladoras temporarily import most component
parts from the U.S. and other sources. Mexican law also allows these operations to
bring in most capital equipment and machinery from abroad. Maquiladora operations
are generally labor-intensive, with most production geared for export from Mexico.
Maquiladoras may be entirely managed by foreign firms, such as U.S. firms, unlike
other multinational companies operating in Mexico.
The Maquiladora Program arose from Mexico's Border Industrialization Program, after
Mexico joined the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) in 1986. GATT is
an international treaty, which reduces trade barriers among member countries.
Mexico's participation in GATT encouraged foreign companies to locate in Mexico. The
Border Industrialization Program allowed the duty-free importation of raw materials and
equipment for use by manufacturing plants, which would then export finished goods or
components to factories in the United States, where they were sold or assembled into
final products.
Maquiladoras manufacture a broad array of products under Mexican law. Some
industries are not allowed to participate in the maquiladora program (petroleum,
petrochemicals, other chemicals, arms, and items containing radioactive elements).
Most products begin the assembly process in Mexico and complete the process in the
US. As long as the components imported into Mexico are destined for export, no
Mexican import duty is levied on the temporarily imported maquiladora inputs.
Maquiladora operators must post a bond with the Mexican Customs Service to
guarantee that components and raw materials are re-exported from Mexico to the
country of origin within a six-month period. A bond on capital equipment and machinery
is collected to better ensure that they will be fully returned to the maquiladora operator's
country of origin once it ceases operations in Mexico.

4 Stakeholders
All residents and public officials are concerned with hazardous materials traveling
through their community. The residents who have the most interest are those living in
close proximity to hazardous material travel routes and potential release sites. In the
San Diego, the residential areas of the most concern are those situated near Interstates
1-5, 1-15, and I-805. These highways are the primary routes for hazardous materials
moving toward the border.
Public officials are stakeholders as well. Fire and emergency response officials need
information on the hazards they face to plan effectively. These officials are entrusted
with protection of the public. This type of information allows them to ensure that the
right emergency equipment is available when and where needed, and response time is
minimized. There are substantial hazardous material response resources in San Diego.
San Diego County's Hazardous Materials Incident Response Team (HIRT) was
established by the Board of Supervisors in 1986. It provides 24 hour, 7 days per week
chemical emergency response services county-wide to members of the Unified Disaster
Council as a program of the Unified San Diego County Emergency Services
Organization. HIRT combines the skills of trained specialists from the San Diego County
Department of Environmental Health with San Diego Fire and Life Safety Services. The
HIRT is responsible for emergency incidents involving the transportation, manufacturing
and storage of chemicals and hazardous materials and responds to approximately 400
chemical emergencies per year and services the City and County of San Diego, 50 fire
districts and a population of over 3 million.
The Federal Fire Department in San Diego was established in 1982 and is currently the
largest fire department in the Department of Defense. It was formed by consolidating
the individual fire departments on each military installation in the San Diego area. It has
two hazmat units and one hazmat trailer at Naval Air Station North Island and Naval
Station San Diego 32nd Street.
Local law enforcement agencies are also likely to respond to chemical emergencies
involving their jursidictions. They too have an interest in the results of a commodity flow
study. Police procedures and tactics reflect the particular nature of the risks present in
the local area. Some of the responsibilities of the police department in a hazardous
material incident are evacuation, crowd control, and documentation of violations of
environmental law. The interested stakeholders in the law enforcement community
include police and sheriff departments of the cities of San Diego, National City, Chula
Vista and Coronado, and the California Highway Patrol.
Planning officials can also use the results of this study to improve decision-making. By
understanding the travel routes that are most at risk, planning officials can make
informed decisions regarding zoning and public projects, like schools. Warehouses
used for holding exports, pending final transport to Mexico, also create hazardous risks
depending upon the types and volumes of goods they are handling. Planning officials
can use policies such as local tax incentives or zoning actions to help move businesses
or activities that pose hazardous risk to appropriate areas of the city, without reducing
desired economic activity. Planning officials can use the results of this study to help

support funding requests for transportation projects. The planning officials most
affected by this study include elected officials, such as city councils, mayors, city
managers and planning commissions of cities in the County of San Diego, and
economic development and redevelopment authorities. Civic organizations, such as
chambers of commerce, will have an interest in the study as well.

5 Data Collection
The purpose of data collection is to compile a detailed inventory of hazardous materials
moving through one of the most significant international border crossing areas, the three
ports of entry in San Diego County (Otay Mesa, Tecate and San Ysidro). The study
uses data from a number of sources (listed under Knowledge Transfer, chapter 9
below). Data was gathered from both publicly available databases, and databases that
contain business-confidential information. Publicly available data is generally
aggregated information. Business-confidential data is much more specific, and includes
proprietary information.
USEPA obtained some confidential data by executing agreements with other federal
agencies that collect this information. All data presented in this report was screened to
remove company-specific information. The discussion of the data below is divided into
three categories: commodities, traffic, and geographic and environmental data.
This chapter is a description of each data source and category. The analysis of the
data is provided in chapter 6 below. Before analyzing the data, some terminology
definitions are provided below.
1. Movement4 - Transportation by a single truck or rail car from a point of origin
to a point of either (a) transfer to another vehicle, or (b) final delivery of the freight. For
example, assume that a single container of freight is hauled by truck to a rail intermodal
terminal, placed on a rail car and hauled to another rail terminal, and then placed on a
truck for final delivery. That one shipment is considered to involve three separate
movements: (1) highway, (2) rail, and then (3) highway.
2. Shipment5 - A shipment is an individual movement of goods from one location
to a customer or to another location of the company, which may include a warehouse,
distribution center, retail or wholesale outlet. A shipment may use one or more modes
of transportation, including parcel delivery, private truck, for-hire truck, rail, water,
pipeline, air and other modes.
3. HTS Codes - The import data used in this study was provided by US Customs
organized according to the Harmonized Tariff System (HTS). The HTS is the global
classification system that describes most world trade in goods. This classification
system is used in this study to help identify categories of hazardous materials. The
HTS codes refer to a numeric system (10 digits long) assigned to a specific product or
hazardous material. The first 2-digits of the code number, referred to as a chapter, are
a broad hazardous material category. As the hazardous material description becomes
more detailed, the numeric code becomes longer, up to 10 digits.
For example, 29 is the 2-digit code for organic chemicals. This description covers a
broad group of goods. Code 2901 describes a specific organic chemical, acyclic
hydrocarbons. Code 2901.10 covers saturated acyclic hydrocarbons. Code

5 US Bureau of Census
San Diego Hazardous Material Commodity Flow Study Page 15
June 2001
-------
2901.10.10.00 is a smaller group of commodities within the saturated acyclic
hydrocarbon group, consisting of ethane and butane.
As of January 1, 2000, there were 17,032 10-digit statistical categories in the HTS. For
the purposes of this study, we identified and used 43 of the 10-digit, HTS codes as the
codes that included hazardous materials. All 43 of the 10-digit HTS codes are within 10
of the 2-digit HTS chapters. The 10 selected 2-digit HTS codes are listed in Table 5-1.
The 43 selected 10-digit HTS codes are listed in Appendix A.
4. Standard International Trade Classification (SITC)6 - The export data used
in this study was provided by the US Bureau of Census organized according to the
Standard International Trade Classification (SITC). The SITC is another system of
classifying international trade, using 1-digit to 5-digit codes. Like the HTS, the fewer the
digits, the broader the category. The entire SITC is approximately 3,000 5-digit SITC
codes. For the purposes of this study, we identified and used about 250 of the 5-digit
codes as the codes that included hazardous materials. All of the 5-digit codes used are
within 13 of the 2-digit SITC codes. The 5-digit SITC codes used are listed in
Appendix B.
The Harmonized Tariff System codes and SITC codes are similar, but not identical. As
a result, comparisons between imports and exports of goods of the same type are not
as exact as a uniform coding system would allow. However, such comparisons are not
important for purposes of this study. For this study, the detail provided by the coding
systems is adequate to identify the nature of the hazardous material.
5. Mode of Transportation -Transportation is categorized into three groups: air,
vessel, and surface. Air is hazardous material movement by airplane, vessel is shipping
goods by sea (ships, boats, etc.), and surface movement consists of commodities
transported by truck, rail, or pipeline.
5.1 Commodity Data
Commodities are tracked by imports and exports through two agencies, US Customs
and US Bureau of Census. Import and export information is available by mode of
transportation, port of entry/exit, volume, shipment weight, and value.
Imports. US Customs tracks commodity movements entering the United States
electronically, through the Automated Commercial System (ACS). The goods entering
the US are categorized by the HTS. Additionally, US Customs staff at international
ports of entry maintain local databases to track commercial traffic volume, inspections,
seizures and other special operations. As part of the import inspection process, the
ports of entry in San Diego record shipments of hazardous materials into a local
database. This system is linked to larger US Customs databases where vital statistics
are stored and analyzed. This data is confidential. USEPA Region 9 made an
agreement with US Customs to obtain sufficient hazardous material data for this study.
US Customs assigns 10-digit HTS codes to all imported commodities. Information
about each imported shipment is recorded in a database. This database identifies the
hazardous materials imported into the US. Table 5-1 below identifies the specific

hazardous materials for which import information was collected for this study, organized
by 2-digit HTS code. The 10-digit HTS codes used in this study are listed in
Appendix A. We include the entire HTS description in Table 5-1, even though only
selected categories within each 2-digit code were used in the study, as specified in
Appendix A.

Hazardous Waste and Haztraks. All imports, including hazardous waste, are assigned
an HTS code and included in the HTS database. Hazardous waste quantities are
included within HTS codes 26 (slag and ash), 28 (inorganic chemicals), 29 (organic
chemicals), and 38 (miscellaneous chemical products). Because there is no specific
HTS code for hazardous waste, the HTS does not allow hazardous waste to be
distinguished from the overall categories of hazardous materials.
We were able to sort out hazardous waste shipments from the total of all hazardous
materials with information from the US/Mexico hazardous waste tracking system known
as Haztraks. Haztraks was created jointly by the USEPA and the Mexican
Environmental Ministry to track the movement of hazardous waste between the U.S.
and Mexico. US Customs ensures that hazardous waste cargo entering the US is
accompanied by a hazardous waste manifest form, but they do not compile or track this

data. US Customs does send a copy of the importer's hazardous waste manifest form
to a USEPA centralized database, where it is entered into Haztraks. Information about
Haztraks is available at http://www.epa.gOv/earth1r6/6en/h/haztraks/haztraks.htm.
Exports. The export data is from the US Bureau of Census, organized by SITC code.
In the export database, exported goods are described by SITC code, port of exit, mode
of transportation (air, vessel, and surface, in which surface consist of rail, truck and
pipeline), values and year. The 2-digit SITC codes used in this study are listed in Table
5-2 below. The 5-digit SITC codes used in this study appear in Appendix B. We include
the entire SITC description in Table 5-2, even though only selected categories within
each 2-digit code were used in the study, as specified in Appendix B.

5.2 Traffic Data
The US Department of Transportation (USDOT), Bureau of Transportation Statistics
(BTS) maintains the Rail Waybill database. This database contains proprietary and
confidential rail shipment information. The data includes original destination regions,
type of commodity, number of cars divided by tons, and values. USEPA Region 9
submitted a written request to the US Department of Transportation, Bureau of
Transportation Statistics for the release of the data for this study.
Page 18
San Diego Hazardous Material Commodity Flow Study
June 2001
-------
Unlike the Rail Waybill, the Transborder Surface Freight database is accessible from
the BTS web page. These two databases can be used to obtain information on
exported goods by border port, mode of transportation, and 5-digit SITC code.
BTS also produces a Commodity Flow Survey. This survey is conducted every five
years. The survey data is organized at a national, regional, and state level. The latest
survey contains 1997 data. In another publication, the 1997 Commodity Flow Study
Hazardous Shipping Material, data is presented on hazardous material7 shipment
characteristics.
This data was used for an overall analysis because the information covers a broad area.
More specific data was used for traffic north/south and east/west in the San Diego area.
Based on the industries located north and east of San Diego, the routes and flows of
hazardous materials in the San Diego area were identified.
5.3 Geographic and Environmental Data
This data was obtained through a number of web sites, maps of the City of San Diego, a
visit to the city, and interviews with local authorities.
Geographic information and maps of the County and City of San Diego are available
from SanGIS at www.sangis.org. SanGIS was created in July 1997, as a Joint Powers
Agreement (JPA) between the City and County of San Diego. After 13 years of working
together on data and application development, the City and County decided to formalize
their partnership in geographic information systems by creating the SanGIS JPA. The
maps give an overall picture of the sensitive areas, as well as the locations of airports,
waterways, residential areas, business districts, and other features. The city's website
at www.sannet.gov provides the redevelopment project areas, as well as listings of
schools, parks, and other services.
The US Coast Guard's National Response Center web page provides reported accident
and spills data.8 Data is available from January 1978 through August 2000. Because
the most relevant data is the most recent, only data from 1994 to 1999 was used in this
study. Only transportation-related spill data was used.
This study includes information from interviews with San Diego Planning Department
officials, regional U.S. Navy representatives, and Mr. Michael Handman of the San
Diego County Department of Environmental Health. Interviews with the Planning
Department centered around the development plans for the city, mainly residential
development and its relationship to potential human exposure in case of a hazardous
material accident on highly traveled routes in the newly developed areas. The talks with
Ms. Mary Kay Faryan and Ms. Mary Terry of the U.S. Navy revolved around the Navy's
activities in the county that involve the movement of hazardous materials, such as the
transport of fuel or ammunition. The interview with Mr. Handman yielded information on
7 The USDOT defines hazardous materials as belonging to one of nine hazard classes:
Explosives, Gases, Flammable Liquids, Flammable Solids, Oxidizers and Organic
Peroxides, Toxic Materials and Infectious Substances, Radioactive Materials, Corrosive
Materials, and Miscellaneous Dangerous Goods.

6 Data Analysis
This chapter describes the movement of hazardous materials through the region. First,
the general movement of commodities is discussed, followed by a detailed analysis of
hazardous materials in transit. The analysis covers cross-border movements at the San
Ysidro, Otay Mesa and Tecate border crossings, traffic along the interstates, and local
traffic.
From an overall perspective, hazardous material exports through Otay Mesa are
significantly more numerous than hazardous material imports, measured by the number
of trucks. The reason is that the majority of cross border traffic through Otay Mesa is
regional in nature. Over 80% of goods are shipped by truck. Over 85% of exports
originate in California and are destined for the neighboring state of Baja California.
Exports are often raw materials or partial products intended for production plants in
Tijuana. Finished goods returning to the US dominate imports. Finished goods are less
likely to be hazardous than the raw materials used in production. An example is raw
materials for plastic production, such as polyester resin and other chemicals, leaving the
US, and plastic toys returning from Mexico.
Exports may pose a greater risk to San Diego than imports for other reasons. Materials
to be exported tend to remain in the region longer than imports. Imports cross the
border and proceed immediately either north on 1-5 or 1-805 or east on 1-8 to their final
destination, simply passing through San Diego. In contrast, exports often remain in San
Diego warehouses or parking lots for consolidation or export clearance. This extended
time in the region increases the risk of an incident occurring locally. For example, the
risks of propane awaiting export are greater than the risks of propane just passing
through, because of the longer period of time involved.
Next, the traffic network in the region was analyzed in order to identify problem areas or
hot spots. The areas identified as most critical are the high levels of truck traffic on the
interstates that cut through densely populated areas of San Diego.
The third section of this chapter addresses the specific local characteristics that lead to
the movement of hazardous materials. The significant presence of the US Navy and
Marine Corps, and their impact on hazardous material movements, was analyzed. This
section also addresses the history of reported hazardous material spills from fixed
facilities and mobile sources in the county.
6.1 Hazardous Material Movements
Commodities flow in, through, and out of the Otay Mesa, San Ysidro, and Tecate ports
daily. The movement of hazardous materials through San Diego County (the City of
San Diego in particular) is defined by (1) cross border traffic with Mexico, (2) traffic to
and from points east (Arizona) and north (Los Angeles metro area), and (3) local traffic
from production sites or consumption in the region.
6.1.1 Cross Border Movements
In this section, we address cross border movements along the entire US/Mexico border
as background, then focus on the border area at San Diego.
San Diego Hazardous Material Commodity Flow Study Page 21
June 2001
-------
The cross border traffic between the US and Mexico contributes significantly to the
movement of hazardous materials through the region. The total value of goods traded
between the US and Mexico was $152 billion in 1998 and $171 billion in 1999.9 Exports
from the US to Mexico increased from $70 billion to $76 billion from 1998 to 1999. At
the same time, imports from Mexico to the US increased from $82 billion to $95 billion.10
The surface trade between the two countries is mainly by truck. More than 80% ($143
billion in 1999) of all trade by value travels by truck. As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3,
imports have a slightly higher percentage of rail traffic, 15% versus 8%, and slightly
lower percentage of truck traffic, 80% versus 86%. However, in either case, truck is the
dominating mode of transportation by 10 to 1 (exports) and 5 to 1 (imports).

Cross border traffic between the US and Mexico is concentrated at particular ports of
entry. The four large border crossings in Texas account for almost 70% of all surface
traffic between the US and Mexico. The largest port, Laredo, alone accounts for nearly
40% of all surface traffic. California ports account for roughly $25 billion worth of
surface trade between the US and Mexico, which represents close to 15% of the overall
surface trade between the two countries.
The port of Otay Mesa saw about $16 billion worth of surface trade in 1999 or nearly
10% of all surface trade between the US and Mexico. Across the U.S./Mexico border,
Otay Mesa processes the third highest dollar volume of imports and exports.11 Otay
Mesa handles 2/3 of all commercial truck traffic across the entire California/Mexico
border.12 In 1999, 1.2 million trucks crossed at Otay Mesa, northbound and
southbound.13 This is projected to increase to 2.9 million trucks within 20 years.14
Of the overall traffic between the US and Mexico, hazardous materials make up roughly
3.5% of the total value of imports and exports. This amount is fairly constant over time,
as well as for imports and exports. At the national level, the top five hazardous
materials for imports and exports are organic chemicals, mineral oils and fuels,
miscellaneous chemicals, inorganic chemicals, and paints.
In lieu of dollar value, it is more important for purposes of this study to identify the
quantities of hazardous materials that cross the border, in order to determine the

number of trucks or rail cars that travel through the San Diego community. Import
statistics are kept by value and weight, but export data is collected by value only.
Utilizing the import data, the export values were converted into weight data as well.
Imports of hazardous materials in tons from Mexico to the US via the ports of Otay
Mesa and Tecate by truck for the years 1998 and 1999 are shown in Table 6-1 and
Table 6-3 below. Table 6-1.1 below provides more detail on the nature of the inorganic
chemical imports through Otay Mesa. No imports of hazardous materials were
recorded at the San Ysidro border crossing.

The value of exports of hazardous materials from the US to Mexico via truck through the
ports of Otay Mesa and Tecate, for the years 1998 and 1999, are shown in Table 6-4
and Table 6-5 below. There are no rail crossings at these ports, so all trade is done via
truck. Table 6-6 below shows the value of hazardous materials exported via the rail
crossing through the port of San Ysidro. The San Ysidro port was closed to trucks in
1997. Most trucks use the new crossing at Otay Mesa.

Based on the value to weight ratios available from the import data, the weight of the
hazardous materials exported was estimated. Tables 6-6, 6-7 and 6-8 below show the
weight of hazardous materials exported via the San Diego ports in 1998 and 1999.
Liquefied gas and petroleum products account for a larger portion of the weight of the
hazardous materials exported than the value exported due to the high weight to value
ratio of these materials.

In addition to truck and rail, hazardous materials will soon move across the border in the
San Diego region via pipeline. A natural gas pipeline is currently under construction.
6.1.2 Domestic Movements
In San Diego County, traffic moves north on I-5 and 1-15 toward Los Angeles, north and
south on I-805 within the City of San Diego, and east/west on I-8 toward Imperial
County and Yuma, Arizona. No specific traffic counts are available that would indicate
the number of trucks carrying hazardous materials on these roads. The national
average is that roughly 7% of trucks carry hazardous materials.15 In order to determine
whether the local interstates are carrying hazardous material shipments above or below
the national average, the industrial base of key cities along the route was examined.
The economic activities in the Yuma, San Diego, and Los Angeles areas do not indicate
above average shipment of hazardous materials between these areas. The Los
Angeles metro area is one of the largest ports of entry in the country. Most of the goods
landing in the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach leave the area, either by rail toward
Phoenix on the Union Pacific Sunset Route or by truck to I-5 and points north and

south. The Yuma metro region has no chemical industry and little other manufacturing
that would involve hazardous materials.16 Economic activity in the Yuma region is
clearly dominated by service industries, agriculture, and trade, with manufacturing
playing a very limited role in the regional economy (5% of total earnings).
The economic data for region supports the assumption that hazardous materials
shipments account for no more than the national average of 7% of truck traffic through
the region.
6.1.3 Local Movements
The predominant sources of employment in San Diego County are service industries, as
shown in Chapter 3, Table 3-2 (page 11). Over 50% of earnings and income are
generated by service industries, compared to 13% for manufacturing. Manufacturing in
the San Diego region is mainly in the electronics sector. Industries intensive in
hazardous materials use, such as chemicals or petroleum products, account for less
than 10% of the manufacturing earnings and income.17 It can be assumed that the
levels of traffic unrelated to the border on local roads that carry hazardous materials are
similar to national averages.
6.2 Traffic Network Description
Highways and railways provide strategic corridors in both north/south and east/west
directions through San Diego County. The main north/south highways are I-5, I-805
and 1-15. The east/west highway is I-8.
6.3 Local Characteristics
During the six years from 1994 to 1999, 1,573 hazardous material spills in San Diego
County were reported to the National Response Center. More than half of these spills
(802 spills) were transportation-related. Figure 4 shows the number of reported
transportation-related hazardous material spills in San Diego County each year for the
past six years. Figure 8-2 in Chapter 8 (Hot Spots) below shows the geographic areas
in which transportation-related releases have been reported, and the numbers of
reported releases in each area.
The incident data does not reveal any particular trend in the occurrence of hazardous
materials spills. While the lack of a trend may seem uninformative, in this instance, the
lack of specific information should remind officials and policy makers that hazardous
material spills are unpredictable and, therefore, present great risk to the community in
which they occur.

It is widely assumed that many if not most hazardous materials spills go unreported to
the authorities. It is a federal and state requirement that the party responsible for
releasing the hazardous material into the environment report such "spills" to a variety of
agencies that keep such data and take follow up action. Even when the parties clean
up their spills, they must still report them. Therefore, spill history data consists of only of
those spills that are reported, largely representing those parties who have complied with
spill reporting requirements.
For example, the data indicates that over the past six years, the Navy and Marine Corps
combined have reported 59% of all reported transportation-related spills. However, the
Navy and the Marine Corps have a large presence in San Diego County and
established policies for reporting spills.
Table 6-9 identifies the actual hazardous material released during reported
transportation-related spills in San Diego County during the past six years. Petroleum
products (oil, jet fuel and gasoline) were the most common substances released. The
category of "all others" consists primarily of substances reported to be spilled only once
or twice.

7 Identifying Hazardous Material Transportation Routes
This chapter shows how hazardous materials crossing the border and traveling
north/south and east/west along the interstates translate into numbers of trucks per day
on individual stretches of roads in San Diego County. This chapter further identifies the
number of railcars that travel through San Diego per year carrying hazardous material to
and from Mexico.
The truck data shows that hazardous materials transported to Mexico resulted in six
times as many trucks as imports in 1999, compared to five times as many in 1998. All
movements to and from the border account for roughly one fifth of the total number of
trucks carrying hazardous materials on I-5 and I-805. The analysis clearly shows that
the number of trucks carrying hazardous materials on I-5 and I-805 is significantly
higher than the trucks traveling to and from the border through San Diego. However,
the trucks traveling through San Diego travel on roads that traverse densely populated
neighborhoods. Despite the lower numbers of border-related hazardous material truck
traffic, such traffic still represents a significant concern to the immediate population and
environment.
7.1 Truck Traffic
The amount of hazardous materials moving through the region is based on the amount
shipped across the border and on average truck traffic counts on the interstates and
local roads. The analysis assumed that an average truck carries 26 tons of hazardous
material.18
The figures for cross border truck traffic carrying hazardous materials through San
Diego were based on the data provided in Section 6.1.1. Exports of hazardous
materials are more numerous than imports, because much of the exports traveling
through Otay Mesa via truck are destined for manufacturing facilities in neighboring
Tijuana. For example, plastics in primary form, such as polyester resins exported to
Tijuana, may return in the form of finished goods that no longer are considered
hazardous. Trade data shows that the origin and destination of the overwhelming
majority of truck exports are local to the California/Baja California region. Over 90% of
truck exports traveling through Otay Mesa and Tecate originate in California and over
95% have a destination in Baja California19.
Table 7-1 and Table 7-2 below show the number of trucks that carried imported
hazardous materials through Otay Mesa and Tecate in 1998 and 1999. The San Ysidro
port was closed to trucks in 1997. The largest group of imported hazardous materials is
inorganic chemicals and cleaning solutions, which account for close to 90% of all
hazardous material imports. Each table shows the total number of trucks on an annual
basis, and the average number of trucks each business day. The average daily truck
number for imports is determined by dividing the annual figure by 156 days, because
truck imports are allowed on three days per week. The average daily truck number for

exports is determined by dividing the annual figure by 350 days, because truck exports
generally are allowed seven days per week.

The decrease in the number of trucks importing hazardous materials from 1998 to 1999
at Otay Mesa (Table 7-1 above) is not sufficient to indicate a downward trend. As
discussed earlier, overall truck traffic at Otay Mesa is expected to increase over the next
20 years.
The HTS does not provide enough detail to indicate the nature of the imported
explosives. However, government agency personnel familiar with border activities have
indicated that the substance may be sodium azide, which is used in initiators for air
bags in passenger cars.

About 81 trucks per day carrying hazardous materials enter and leave the US through
the Otay Mesa and Tecate ports. The ports accept hazardous material shipments from
6 a.m. to 6 p.m. only. Therefore, on average, about 7 trucks per hour cross the border
carrying hazardous materials. Over 95% of the hazardous material truck traffic occurs at
Otay Mesa, which averages 6 or 7 hazardous material trucks per hour. Tecate sees
relatively little hazardous material traffic, with about 2 hazardous material trucks per
day, on average.
Delays in processing are common at all border crossings. As a result, the movements
of hazardous materials are probably concentrated before noon as trucks move to the
border to line up for possible inspection. An on-scene survey (which was not
conducted) would be necessary to measure activity by time of day more precisely.
In addition to the cross border traffic, hazardous materials travel through the county on
four major interstates and local roads for reasons unrelated to the border. Table 7-5
shows the daily truck counts on selected roads in the county and the number of trucks
carrying hazardous materials on these roads. The interstate hazardous material truck
count is based on the national average of 7%.20 Local-only hazardous material traffic is
likely much less, around 2%. The nature of these hazardous materials is determined by
the economic activity in both the county itself and points north and east.

High levels of truck traffic occur close to population centers throughout San Diego along
the major interstates. Essentially all of the interstates travel directly through densely
populated areas of San Diego. At present, there is no alternative for traffic heading
north or east from the border crossing at Otay Mesa to avoid the City of San Diego.
Traffic heading for the border is consolidated in local warehouses, where trucks await
the arrival of export clearance. Although there is a concentration of warehouses close
to the border, some are located in the City of San Diego itself.
7.2 Rail Traffic
Rail traffic has less of a local presence than truck traffic. According to the data, no
hazardous materials were imported by rail in San Diego in 1998 or 1999. Exports of
hazardous materials by rail are infrequent and amount to a small fraction of the cross
border traffic by truck in San Diego. The number of railcars carrying hazardous
materials for export in 1998 and 1999 is shown Table 7-6 below. Plastics in primary
forms accounted for more than half of the rail exports. The amount of hazardous
materials moving across the border by rail is based on the surface export data collected
from the US Census Bureau. The analysis assumed that an average rail car carries
100 tons of hazardous material.21

8 Hot Spots
This chapter identifies the hot spots as they relate to San Diego's geography,
environmental and human sensitive areas, and the location of customhouse
brokers. This chapter provides recommendations on ways in which information
provided in this report could be used in future planning of emergency response
services.
8.1 San Diego Geography
San Diego is growing at a rate that exceeds the rate of growth for the nation
overall and California's rate of growth as well. This sustained population growth
is due in large part to migration caused by job growth in the service sector,
especially in the defense-related, high-tech, and bio-medical industries. From
2000 to 2010, the county is expected to grow by over a half million people. By
2020, the county's population is expected to exceed 3.5 million, with 1.7 million in
the City of San Diego alone.
To better manage the city's growth and to improve economic and physical
conditions, the city's Redevelopment Agency has undertaken six major projects.
These projects will make substantial improvements to the community and are
intended to attract private developers to the project areas. Table 8-1 shows the
six major project areas affected by the redevelopment plan. The project areas
are mostly older and urban areas. As shown in Figure 5, most of the project
areas are located adjacent to one of the major highways in San Diego.

The City of San Diego has designated the Metropolitan Enterprise Zone and the
Otay Mesa Enterprise Zone for efforts to stimulate business investment and job
growth. The Enterprise Zone program seeks to increase economic development
by fostering foreign trade and by promoting economic self-sufficiency for the local
community.
Incentives for the private sector include tax credits for up to half the wages paid
to employees and preference by the state of California in industrial development
bond applications. Industries within the foreign trade zone may import parts and
export finished products without paying U.S. Customs duties, except for
merchandise entering the U.S. Customs territory.
The foreign trade zone is conveniently located near a number of airports and the
maquiladoras in Tijuana. Most of these companies are small businesses and
include importers, manufacturers, distributors, assemblers of products, and
exporters of imported merchandise. Some of these areas around Otay Mesa
are:
73 acres at Airway Road and State Route 125
312 acres at Brown Field Business Park, bounded by Otay Mesa Road, Britannia
Boulevard and Airport Road
389 acres at the Otay Mesa International Center business park in the southeast
portion of Otay Mesa.
The Enterprise Community Initiative identified 18 census tracks with similar need-
based objectives for economical revitalization. The Enterprise Community effort
began in 1994. The benefits extended to businesses participating in the program
will last until 2004. During these 10 years, the community will determine the
ways in which $2.95 million will be spent to enhance the economic base to create
job and business opportunities that enhance community identity, stability and
livability. Tax-exempt bond financing is available to businesses that locate and
expand in these areas and agree to hire local residents. Some federal grants
include preferences and bonus points for enterprise communities, which enhance
their ability to compete for federal funds. Past efforts at revitalization have
resulted in job placements for 4,000 people, the creation of 200 jobs, improved
education for more than 1,300 parents and students, and economic self-
sufficiency support services for 3,600 families.
Figure 8-2 below shows the numbers of reported transportation-related
hazardous material spills by area within San Diego County, for which there was
adequate location information. Reported transportation-related spills are also
discussed in section 6.3 above. Available location information for some spills
was too general to enable placement on Figure 8-2. As shown on Figure 8-2,
larger numbers of transportation-related spills have been reported in and around
downtown San Diego and the harbor than in the other portions of the county from
1994 to 1999. Spills that occurred while a ship was docked at a pier in San
Diego harbor are included in the count for land area, even if the spill entered the
ocean. The box labeled "water spills" refers to spills reported by ships of the
San Diego Hazardous Material Commodity Flow Study Page 39
June 2001
-------
Navy's Pacific fleet that occurred while the vessels were in San Diego harbor, but
that could not be clearly associated with a pier. The vast majority of
transportation-related spills shown on Figure 8-2 are petroleum spills. From an
overall perspective, these areas appear to have an increased likelihood of
transportation-related hazardous material spills and thus may be considered
hotspots.
The county's Hazardous Materials Incident Response Team (HIRT) provides
assistance to law enforcement officials in events involving hazardous materials.
These law enforcement related activities can occur anywhere in the county.
According to local environmental health officials, law enforcement is becoming a
significant part of HIRT's workload.
8.2 Environmentally Sensitive Areas
The most sensitive parts of the environment in the San Diego region are the local
water resources. Hazardous materials are difficult to remove from water. Water
is vitally important to wildlife, farming, recreation, and human consumption.
Public health is directly affected by water quality.
The San Diego region is located in a watershed known as the San Diego
Hydraulic region. A watershed is a drainage basin where water and sediment
drain to a common outlet. Many waterways in San Diego drain into the harbor
and Pacific Ocean. Numerous water resources, including local rainfall, rivers,
lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells, help to supply drinking
water for San Diego. Up to 20 percent of the drinking water supply is from local
sources captured in local reservoirs. This portion of the water supply is most
vulnerable to hazardous material releases. Most of the rest of the water supply is
imported through the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California from Lake
Havasu via the 242-mile aqueduct. A smaller amount of water is imported from
the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta in northern California. Water from local and
imported sources is delivered to the Otay, Alvarado, or Miramar treatment plants
for distribution to customers.

Figure 8-2: San Diego, California: Reported Transportation-Related Spills
-------
The Upper Otay Reservoir and the Lower Otay Reservoir, cover over 1,000 surface
acres when full. Located between the Tecate and Otay Mesa ports, they are two of the
reservoirs for the City of San Diego's municipal water supply system. The local Tecate
fire department is composed of volunteers, instead of full-time city employees.
Volunteer fire departments are less equipped, trained and prepared to handle a
hazardous material spill than a specialized hazmat team, such as San Diego's
Hazardous Incident Response Team. Because the local fire department has
comparatively less expertise, a hazardous material spill poses a higher risk of
environmental damage and adverse public health impacts. This risk could be mitigated
with better training and equipment for the local fire department. Road conditions from
Tecate are not as optimal for hazardous material truck traffic as from the Otay Mesa
port, which may lead to an increase in transportation-related accidents.
8.3 Human Sensitive Areas
Hot spots can also be areas that create unique risk to the human population. These
areas include schools, hospitals, public places such as parks, and densely populated
areas near heavy hazardous material traffic. The city of San Diego is traversed by four
major interstates that all cut through densely populated areas. These interstates are:
I-5 which extends northward along the Pacific Coast and directly through the downtown
area;
I-8 which starts just north of downtown San Diego and extends eastward toward
Arizona, crossing through the eastern suburbs of San Diego;
1-15 which extends northeastward to Colorado; and
I-805 which splits off of I-5 just north of the Mexican border, and then runs parallel and
east of I-5, before rejoining I-5 north of Miramar Naval Air Station.
The biggest hot spots are the intersections along the most traveled interstates. These
areas are the intersections of I-8 with I-5, I-805 and 1-15, all of which are within densely
populated areas of San Diego.
8.4 Customhouse Brokers
The customhouse brokers operate warehouses for inventory to be exported into Mexico.
Of approximately 100 brokers in the San Diego region, 57% are located near the Otay
Mesa border crossing. The other 43% are scattered throughout the city of San Diego.
The more frequent the transportation of hazardous materials to and from the
warehouses, the more likely the possibility of a hazardous material spill. The longer that
inventory remains in the warehouse, the more likely that leaks or accidents may occur.
The warehouses near the Otay Mesa border crossing are clustered together, which
would allow emergency response equipment to be positioned near a large number of
potential incident sites. The area where the warehouses are located at the Otay Mesa
border crossing is one of the least densely populated areas of the San Diego region,
which mitigates the potential consequences of a release. In comparison, the other
warehouses are scattered throughout the city in more densely populated areas, posing
a potentially greater risk.

-------
8.5 Recommendations
Many communities have improved the safety of their residents by placing restrictions on
truck traffic carrying hazardous materials, and by enacting zoning measures to prevent
the storage and shipment of hazardous materials in sensitive or high-risk areas. The
San Diego region has few options to affect the current movement of hazardous
materials through residential areas in the city. Hazardous material traffic flows on major
interstates. There are no real alternatives to these routes. Restricting hazardous
material traffic on the interstates would effectively transfer the trucks onto local surface
roads, which would increase the risk of a spill.
Awareness of the nature of hazardous material flows, and the nature and location of
spills, as described in this report, would assist emergency preparedness. This
information could be used to determine placement for hazardous materials response
equipment and facilities, and training priorities for emergency responders. It would be
helpful to update this information by periodically monitoring developments in hazardous
material flows using the resources provided in Chapter 9 below.

9 Knowledge Transfer
Having expert consultants conduct studies such as this one is not inexpensive, and is
generally beyond the reach of most municipalities with more immediate priorities. This
chapter provides local emergency managers insight into data that can help them
monitor hazardous material transfers in their jurisdiction. It can also provide readers
from other jurisdictions with data sources that they can consult to better understand the
hazardous material flows in their areas.
9.1 Federal Level
At the federal level, proprietary data on imports and exports were collected from US
Customs and US Bureau of Census, respectively. The US Customs provided a list of
imports by 10-digit HTS code, by mode of transportation, by volume, by shipment
weight, by port of entry and by year. Because US Customs import data contains
proprietary information, USEPA Region 9 needed to specifically request the data at this
level of detail.
The US Bureau of Census releases export data for a fee of $60 per year. The data is
provided by 5-digit SITC code and by mode of transportation (air, vessel, and surface),
by value, and by port of exit. Surface transit consists of all rail, trucks and pipeline
movement.
The Transborder Surface Freight Dataset is available on the US Department of
Transportation, Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) web site and can be used to
obtain details of rail traffic.
The Hazardous Materials Movements Study, produced by the BTS and the US
Department of Commerce, captures the national movement of goods.
The websites for the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) (www.epa.gov) and
the US Department of Energy (www.doe.gov) are provide definitions of hazardous
materials.
It is suggested that local officials concentrate on monitoring two databases. These are
the import data provided by the US International Trade Commission via dataweb
(www.dataweb.usitc.gov), and the export data provided by BTS
(www.bts.gov/ntda/tbscd), in order to update this study. Both data sources allow local
officials to monitor significant shifts in the commodities moving across the border. The
review could be done on an annual basis upon release of new data.
9.2 State Level
At the state level, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) web page
provided useful traffic counts. The data is available from 1978 to 1998. This study used
only the most recent data (1997 and 1998).
Local officials can monitor the Caltrans website at www.dot.ca.gov/hq/traffops/
saferesr/trafdata/ for updates to the traffic counts. Updates are made periodically.
San Diego Hazardous Material Commodity Flow Study Page 45
June 2001
-------
Review is recommended at least annually, possibly in conjunction with review of the
import and export data discussed above.
9.3 Local Level
Study personnel visited the City of San Diego to gather data from local authorities and
to obtain information on the border crossing and traffic patterns within and around the
City. Helpful local resources included the following:
• The Hazardous Materials Division of the County of San Diego Department of
Environmental Health (619-338-2216) provided information on the current
system of emergency planners and responders.
• The Fleet and Industrial Supply Center (619-556-6208) supplied information on
environmental protection efforts of the Navy.
• The Environmental Counsel of the Department of Defense (619-532-4301)
supplied information on the Navy's management of hazardous material spills.
• The San Diego Association of Governments (http://www.sandag.cog.ca.us/)
supplied topographical and road maps.
