Government Reportables

Number of Incidents

In 2005, SCO again achieved a significant decrease in the number of reportable quantity and permit exceedences. This is continued excellent performance improvement as was seen in 2004. The improved performance in leaks, breaks and spills has help drive this performance. Additionally, improvement has been achieved through the use of work process tools and operating discipline which enable a higher level of understanding for compliance with our permits.
