None of these <br />storms had a significant impact on the area. <br /> <br />Q. Technological Hazards <br /> <br />1. Hazardous Materials. <br /> <br /> a. Any area that manufactures hazardous materials, or contains transportation routes <br />(roads, rail) that transports hazardous materials are at risk for a hazardous material event. <br />Approximately 6,774 hazardous materials (I-IazMat) events occur each year. 991 are railway <br />events. Trucks are responsible for most of the remainder of events. The average d/stance for trip <br />lengths for gasoline transport is 28 miles the average trip length for chemical tracks is 260 miles. <br />Even though tracks account for most accidents, it is railway transport that is of most concern. <br />Collisions and derailments can cause very large spills as it is rare that a single car will go over. <br />An average of 280 HazMat spills occur at fixed sites each year. Natural disasters, such as floods <br />and earthquakes can cause HazMat releases or disturb old HazMat release sites (Superfund sites). <br /> <br />Draft Annex A v.3.1 A-8 1 July 2002 <br /> <br /> <br />
