2 LEPC DEC 2011 Meeting Minutes Page 2 of 3 HAZMAT Presentation Q&A/ Open Discussion When will Hazmat Study will be complete? (R. Webre) Estimated 4 months remaining but we are essentially done with HAZMAT Identification. (D. Willauer) IEM is still working on gathering some facility information and follow up. Current report is over 200 pages. Executive summary is available to members of LEPC but no names or data will be released. (R. Webre) Data is controlled in OEP EOC. Plan to integrate Task Force? (R. Webre) Sheriff will brief Task Force 7 at next LEPC. It is our intention to discuss Task Force 7 as a possible HAZMAT resource with the Sheriff. What is the outlook for future funding? Will this help with UASI funding? (R. Webre) Collecting this data will allow us to compete with other larger city. If we document, this will assist with more future funding. (A. C. Johnson) When we submit our Critical Infrastructure to DHS, we are given point values for any that make it to the PCI list. Right now several of our facilities that we believe may be able to stand alone and be valued at an individual point are grouped into what is referred to as a system. The system provides us only one point. Ultimately when scored as a Parish and eventually as a UASI region, the more points the higher we fall on the list and potential for funding is increased. (R.Webre) AP OHSEP will own the data, data is secure. AP OHSEP Staff have security clearances and Ami is PCII Certified. (T.Siears) IEM employees working on this project are PCII and CVI certified. The chemicals documented are just top snap shot. Ascension has over 400 Chemicals. Why Zip Code Data? (R. Webre) This was not as critical versus where and what direction shipment was moving in and out of parish. (D. Willauer) Explain the mode, direction of shipment. AP OHSEP and IEM wanted to focus on the big picture. b. Ascension OHSEP R. Webre: Introduced Mr. Dean Smith, Ponchartrain Levee District Police.
