CRAIM/MIARC• Created in 1996 as a regional MIACC
organization for the Montreal area;– MIACC was created in the 1980’s by governments
and industry following major industrial accidents like Bhopal in India to prevent similar accidents in Canada. MIACC was disbanded in the late 1990’s. CRAIM continued to function locally.
2
CRAIM/MIARC Vision
• MIARC aims to be the benchmark in hazardous
substance risk management within the scope of
sustainable development by applying rigorous,
responsible and concerted methodologies.
3
CRAIM/MIARC Mission
• TO DEVELOP rigorous tools and methods that provide responsible management of risks related to hazardous substances.
• TO PROMOTE and support a culture of collaboration between all stakeholders to effectively manage the risks involving hazardous substances.
• TO FOSTER, with stakeholders, a reduction in the risks of major industrial accidents through the implementation of appropriate prevention, preparedness, response and recovery measures.
4
CRAIM/MIARC Members
– MIARC is a non-profit organization– It regroups about 85 members from
• Municipalities• Citizens• Industry• Governments• Consulting firms or professional organization
5
CRAIM/MIARC activities
– MIARC supports local initiatives (among them LEPC – Local emergency planning committees), organizes conferences and workshops for des industries, municipalities, first responders and citizens.
6
Risk management guide for major industrial accidents
• MIARC published the « Risk Management guide for major industrial accidents» available in both official languages and recognized internationally (APELL) as a reference in the risk management field.

LES VALEURS DE RÉFÉRENCE DE SEUILS D’EFFETS POURDÉTERMINER DES ZONES DE PLANIFICATION DES MESURES
D’URGENCE ET D’AMÉNAGEMENT DU TERRITOIRE
CONTEXT• The MIARC study on the CMMI produced for
the Quebec Public Security Ministry and many workshops from MIARC and ASCQ pointed the need for tools and clear consensual guidelines
• A 2009 workshop demonstrated that clear guidelines established in various countries can be implemented in Quebec with a reasonnable additional expertise investment
15
16
CONTEXT•Multiple debates on methodologies and threshold values to be used on project public hearings (BAPE and others)
– The requirements vary according to the people involved in the project (promoter, consultants, experts, civil servants…)
16
OBJECTIVES• Define the process to establish emergency
planning zones and land use planning– To avoid catastrophies as Megantic
• Clarify– Thermal load and heat flux– Toxical concentration and dose
• Define a simple yet rigorous methodology adapted to the province
17
Process Steps
1. Review of the thershold values used here and in the world
2. Review and develop processes to establish emergency response planning zones
3. Review and develop processes to establish land use planning
4. Reach a consensus on a process and criteria to use for EPZ and land use planning
18
Participants• MIARC• Industry representatives
– Montreal East Industrial Association– Gaz Metropolitain
• Montreal City Fire Department• Consultant representatives• Citizen
Approval
• CIRT (Inter minister committee on technological risks)
– health– civil security– environment – municipal affairs and land use
RECOMMANDATIONS1. Radiation threshold values for EPZ
21
Event Type Exemples Thermal load Thermal flux
Low duration : < 40 s
BLEVE fireball 1000(kW/m2)4/3 *s
Long duration : >40 s
Pool fire 5 kW/m2
RECOMMANDATIONS2. Blast wave threshold values for EPZ
22
Overpressure EPZ
0,3 psiTo be provided for
information
1 psiSafety perimeter and
population alert
3 psiEvacuation before the
explosion when possible
RECOMMANDATIONS3. Toxic threshold values for EPZAEGL for shorter duration may be used when justified
23
Toxicity level EPZAEGL-1 (60 min) Information to health
authorities, Info-Santé and 911
AEGL-2 (60 min) Safety perimeter
AEGL-3 (60 min) Possible fatality
Recommendation
Individual risk for probabilistic risk in land use planning
Individual Risk
10-5 to 10-4
10-6 to 10-5
0.3x10-6 to 10-6
Recommendation
A deterministic approach for simple installations with lower risk levels
In other words, for the one or two vessel installation where the means required for a complete QRA may be disproportionate for the project importance
Deterministic: The scenario probability is not considered, so the thereshold values need to be very conservative.

4. Radiation threshold values for land use planning, determistic method
Event type LimitsLow duration : < 40 sThermal dose 260 - 500 (kW/m2)4/3 *s

Long duration : > 40 sHeat flux 3 - 5 kW/m2

8 – 12,5 kW/m2
RECOMMANDATIONS

5. Overpressure threshold values for land use planning
Overpressure
0,3 psi à 1 psi
1 psi à 3 psi
3 psi et over
RECOMMANDATIONS6. Toxic threshold values in land use planning for
deterministic method
28
Toxicity level
AEGL-3 < C : Use the probabilistic method
AEGL-2 < C ≤ AEGL-3
C ≤ AEGL-2
RECOMMANDATIONS
• Threshold values for projectiles
– Not considered for EPZ or land use planning
– Information should be given
29
Modeling tools and parameters
• Review of available software with their
limits
• Parameters
– Worst atmospheric stability conditions,
1.5 F to be considered
– 50% humidity
– 25ºC
30
Tools in Preparation• Document on modelisation criteria
– Uniformity needed• New guide revision
– Clarifications on scenario parameters and EPZ– Additions
– Transportation– Pipelines– Modelisation criteria
35
CONCLUSION• Consensual recommendations• Recommendations based on scientific knowledge and
good practices in risk management• MIARC expects that these values will be adopted in
regulation in order to ensure– Similar results independent of who does the analysis– Uniform criteria for the same public protection– Limit the time needed to agree on such criteria (CMMI,
public hearings).
• If adopted, such a consensus will reduce the uncertainty on project acceptability
