Hydrogen: 9-4

Please explain the safety measures that will be put in place for the hydrogen being transported by Town roads to the plant.

The hydrogen delivery trucks are expected to follow the Department of Transportation (DOT) guidelines for safe transportation of hydrogen to the CREC facility.  Compliance with applicable Dangerous Goods regulations is required for all shipments by motor freight. These regulations describe the marking, labeling, placarding, and the shipping documentation required for these types of shipment.

The hydrogen tubes in the trailer mounted tube racks are designed and manufactured according to DOT-3A or DOT-3AA specifications. The tubes are hydrostatically tested when manufactured and tested periodically thereafter at 5/3 times the service pressure as required by DOT regulations.  These safety measures are to ensure safe transportation of hydrogen on roadways
