Re: Mutual Aid materials for 6/27 VCM meeting
Dear John:
Per our telephone conversation of today, enclosed are copies of the following mutual aid materials you requested:
* List of mutual aid programs activated through CHEMTREC * CHEMNET Policy Statement & Agreement/Operating Rules * Phosphorus Emergency Response Program * Activation of the Compressed Gas Emergency Action Plan
(COMPGEAP)
* COMPGEAP Plan & Operating Rules
It is unfortunate that due to the timing of the first meeting, a CMA representative cannot attend. However, as I mentioned, CMA will gladly host the next meeting in Washington, DC once the group has formalized and committed to proceeding forth with drafting an agreement and operating rules.
Please contact me if and when I can be of any further assistance.
Sincerely,
Enclosure
