IOL Site Presentation on Risk Management and Assessment Lyle Lalonge presented Imperial Oil�s approach to Risk Assessment and Management. Please note that the presentation is available to those interested so please contact either Heather or Tara to obtain a copy.

Lyle mentioned the recent Federal Government Legislation regulating the handling and use of 174 types of hazardous materials/substances through the Environmental Response Plan. Anyone handling even the minimum amounts as specified in the legislation must comply with the new regulations. Main goals of this legislation focus on prevention, preparedness, response and recovery.

Brenda recognized industry as leaders in risk management processes. Individuals would be well advised to follow the example that industry has provided as they are constantly evaluating risk and updating their approaches to dealing with its management.

The reverification process will be taking place in January 2004. Community members will be contacted to nominate a fellow member to participate in the reverification process. For further information please contact either Doug, Heather or Tara.

Please note that Basell will be going through the same process in March 2004. By the end of January Basell will be interviewing members to participate in the process. Again please contact Sheri, Heather or Tara for further information.

Harmac Transportation Inc. Presentation by Curt Roush Curt Roush, Director of Safety and Responsible Care Co-ordinator for Harmac Transportation Inc., provided an extensive presentation on emergency preparedness and risk management within the trucking business. Please note the notes about that presentation are provided in the form of an attachment to these minutes.

Prior to the review of the Air Quality Forum, the community members reviewed for the assembly the visit, in July, to the Clean Harbors Site and subsequent discussions with Ken Hall and Dean Edwardson. Brenda had made the point that the natural composition of land (Blue Clay) in Lambton County makes it an ideal location to house a hazardous substances storage facility like Clean Harbors. Substances stored at this site prevent future �Love Canals� from occurring due to inadequate/inappropriate storage procedures. The community certainly appreciated the openness that Dean Edwardson and Ken Hall extended to us during our visit.

Summary of Sarnia Public Air Quality Forum Tara reviewed many of the points made at the forum regarding Air Quality and provided opinions regarding the lack of balance as a result of industry�s absence. Both Lynn and Brenda provided further perspectives on the Forum.

The Air Quality Forum reviewed CPPI/CCME initiatives with relation to the National Framework for Petroleum Refinery Emission Reduction and St. John, NB, community efforts in obtaining reduced emissions from the local Irving Oil Refinery. Heather distributed the NFPRER summary to the committee.

Janet suggested that we have NFPRER provide a presentation at a future BCAP meeting. Moved by Janet Maaten, Seconded by Brenda Lorenz
