This report develops a baseline inventory or rail hazardous commodities that originate in, terminate in, or pass through Region 8. The inventory also includes a set of interregional tables that summarize hazardous rail commodity flows to and from each federal region. These tables were developed from a special version of the waybill database provided by the U.S. DOT. The most important uses of the inventory are in: (1) identifying the general commodities and the magnitudes of hazardous rail commodity flows within the region, (2) describing interregional commercial flows of hazardous materials, and (3) providing commodity flow information for use in general emergency response planning. The report also includes an evaluation of the usefulness of the waybill sample for hazardous commodity analysis, as well as a background discussion of waybill concepts and data elements. In conclusion, the report recommends a strategy for updating the traffic inventory in future years and recommendations for improvements in future database format.
