Centre County hires MCM Consulting for first Commodity Flow Study since 2012
Summary
The Centre County SARA-LEPC approved a contract with MCM Consulting Group to produce a Commodity Flow Study—its first since 2012—intended to map hazardous materials moved by road, rail and pipeline and improve first-responder planning; staff expect completion by end of September.
Staff member Jody Lair said the committee has an "approved agreement with MCM Consulting Group to conduct a new Commodity Flow Study," describing it as the county's first Commodity Flow Study since 2012 and saying it is expected to be completed by the end of September. The study will examine hazardous-materials transportation via roadways, railroads and pipelines to help first responders better understand what materials move through Centre County.
The committee discussed that the information gathered will be used for preparedness and response planning; Lair said the study should inform training, resource staging and mutual-aid agreements. The committee did not set a formal public-review date but noted results will be shared with local response partners once the study is complete.
