depot has access to Hoyer’sworldwide database, which includesextensive information on the com-patibility of various substances andother data related to health andsafety. Technological advancesallow Hoyer to minimize air emis-sions from the depot. Before a tankcontainer is cleaned, emissions are"captured," then destroyed in anenclosed flare or carbon adsorptionsystem.

"The vapor recovery is a uniquefeature of this facility," saysBarends. "Our emissions from thisfacility will be practically zero, andthat’s because it was built from theground up using the latest tech-nology available."

Additionally, the PortAuthority is exploring possible usesfor property on the south side ofthe Turning Basin Terminal andplans to aggressively market its leaseproperty to attract new tenants. Themaster plan is expected to addresssome of these issues.

Another focus of the master planwill be the markets that present thelargest potential for new businessthrough Houston. Continuedgrowth is expected in a number oftrades -- Latin America and Russia,to name a couple -- because thepolitical and economic dynamics inthese areas are changing so rapidly.Whatever the market, the PortAuthority must determine how tobest use its resources to capturenew cargo.

"We have a general idea as towhat markets present opportunitiesfor the Port of Houston, hut themaster plan will give us a betterunderstanding as to how we shouldapproach them," says Kornegay."What new business can we hopeto attract, and what kinds offacilities are required to handle thatbusiness?

Hazmat SoftwareFacilitates Training

The newest version of TEXT-Trievelne.’s hazardous materials transpor-tation software makes it even easierfor users to learn about regulatorychanges, company officials say.

TEXT-Trieve developed itsHAZMAT-Tdeve software to helpbusinesses familiarize their em-ployees with U.S. Department ofTransportation hazardous materialsregulations. A new release ofHAZMAT-Trieve makes trainingeven easier, company officials say.Easier to Use

°’HAZMAT-Trieve was already oneof the most complete and easiest-to-use programs for compliance byputting more than 1,350 pages ofCFR 49 information, regulations anddefinitions on a personal com-puter," says Thomas Smith, presi-dent of TEXT-Trieve.

HAZMAT-Trieve covers CFR 49Parts 100 to 199 for hazardous ma-terials transportation and packaging aswell as pipeline safety. The newest re-lease also includes the more-stringentSubchapter C regulations.Reference Links

Users of HAZMAT-Trieve can nowtake advantage of "link markers" inthe programs’s hazardous materialstable. "With the traditional printedregulations, this table presents 10columns of values, each of whichpertains to specific sections in theregulations," says Smith. "Butthere’s no simple way of knowingwhere those references are, unlessyou have more than 1,000 pages ofthe regulations memorized."

Links built into the new versionof HAZMAT-Trieve allow the userto navigate easily through CFRregulations.Subscription Terms

HAZMAT-Trieve is available as aone-year subscription; subscribersreceive updates throughout the yearthat cover regulatory changes. Costof the software is $284 for the firstyear’s subscription and $189 foreach subsequent year.
