APPENDIX G

Grand Forks County Hazardous Materials Flow Study Update

(DRAFT)

January 2005

G-1

Introduction: In conjunction with a transportation study being conducted in the southern portion of the City of Grand Forks metropolitan area, the Grand Forks/East Grand Forks MPO requested a review and update of the 1993-1994 Grand Forks County Hazardous Materials Flow Study. This update consisted of obtaining and reviewing available data regarding hazardous materials, spills, and hazardous waste generators both from mobile and stationary sources. The purpose of the Hazardous Material Flow Study is to identify what types and amounts of hazardous materials are stored or transported in a given area. This information can be used by emergency response personnel to aid in planning for responses to hazardous material related incidents. Under the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA – established in 1986 as part of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act), such planning is required. Area Overview: Grand Forks County is located in the northeastern part of North Dakota. Data from the 2000 census indicates that the county has a population of just over 66,000. Data further indicates that roughly 11,500 people live in rural portions of the county, while approximately 54,500 people live in the county’s urban areas. Major population centers include the city of Grand Forks and the Grand Forks Air Force Base. The city of Grand Forks is also home to the University of North Dakota. The figure below presents the location of Grand Forks County, along with the location of cities and major transportation infrastructure.

G-2

Population: The 1993-1994 Hazardous Material Flow Study included population data for cities in Grand Forks County to show the number of people that could require notification or evacuation in the event of an emergency. The table below provides updated population information.

G-3

Water: The 1993-1994 Study identified one carrier of hazardous materials using the water mode of transportation. This was the Dakota Queen River Boat which operated on the Red River of the North. In the mid-1990s, the Dakota Queen was taken out of service. The only hazardous material issues on the Red River of the North consist of fuel associated with fishing and pleasure craft that use the river during spring, summer, and fall. Air: In Grand Forks County, key air transporters of hazardous materials via the air mode of transportation include the Grand Forks International Airport, Federal Express, the Grand Forks Air Force Base, and a number of agricultural aerial spraying services. Attempts were made to contact each of these key air transporters; the table on the following page below presents the results of the contacts as of January 7, 2005.

G-5

Highway: The 1993-1994 Study included information regarding hazardous materials transported by highway (truck). This information was obtained through a placard survey conducted at five locations and a poll survey. According to the previous study, the majority of the hazardous materials transported via the highway mode are Class 3 – flammable liquids, as documented at right. The placard study conducted in 1994 was performed at four locations throughout the county, decided upon by the committee commissioned to prepare that study. Even with the tremendous staff resources (including volunteer time) used for that study, the authors noted that the study lacked data and does not accurately reflect all the types of hazardous shipments that travel by truck throughout Grand Forks County (such as seasonal shipments of anhydrous ammonia). Of all modes, travel by truck is the least regulated and the regulations that do exist often rely on low-percentage enforcement interaction to police their activities. Therefore, preparation of a county-wide effort to either replicate another placard survey or use other means, remains an effort without a cost-effective and data-accurate solution. For purposes of this study, it was assumed that the percentage of hazardous materials shipped by truck throughout the County is consistent with the growth of background truck traffic and other traffic. In other words, the composition of hazardous materials is not increasing more rapidly than background truck/other vehicle traffic. In addition, it is assumed that the commodities of hazardous shipments remain generally consistent with what was studied in 1994. It is important to note that the authors of the 1994 study identified that the means available then (and now) cannot provide a level of certainty that encompasses all truck shipments (as is documented for rail, pipelines, etc…). Traffic growth across Grand Forks County and the State of North Dakota is measured through data collection stations located on highways statewide. This information is periodically published by NDDOT. For this study, growth rates were obtained from the data collection stations for similar types of highways, as documented on the following page.

The classification of highways documented on the previous page corresponds with the four locations used for the placard survey conducted in 1994. The associated growth rates using a best-fit exponential trend line were calculated to forecast 2004 ADT data at each of the sites, as documented in the following table. The only information utilized for this study is the growth rate, as highlighted.

Pipeline Routes: Review of pipeline infrastructure data indicates that the pipeline routes identified in the 1993-1994 Hazardous Materials Flow Study are still present, and no new pipeline infrastructure has been developed in Grand Forks County. However, some pipeline assets have changed ownership. The table below summarizes pipeline information.

Fixed Facility Information: Grand Forks County emergency response personnel were contacted to obtain updated Tier II reporting information. Due to post 9/11 security concerns, this information needed to be obtained through formal request by the Grand Forks/East Grand Forks MPO. Coordination on this issue is underway; updated information will be supplied as soon as it is made available. In addition to review of Tier II reports for fixed facilities in Grand Forks County, a review was conducted of hazardous waste generators. According to EPA data, a total of 147 facilities with reported hazardous waste activities existed in Grand Forks County as of December 10, 2004. The breakdown of these facility types is presented below.

A review of spills reported to the National Response Center between 1990 and 2004 was also conducted. Fifty significant spill or rail accident events were recorded and are summarized in the table on the following pages. It should be noted that additional spills have likely been reported to other sources or have remained unreported.

Rail: Grand Forks County is served by two commercial rail carriers: Burlington Northern-Santa Fe Railway (BNSF) and Northern Plains Railroad (NPRR). Nearly all of the track in Grand Forks County is owned and operated by BNSF, with the exception of approximately 1.5 miles of track in the extreme northwestern corner of the county (southwest of Fordville), which is owned by Canadian Pacific Railway and operated by NPRR.
