Comments only be needed for barge routes, but their inclusion will be captured in the transport to rail costs identified above. Some routes will involve greater cumulative worker exposure as a result of a potential additional transload activity (for barge routes) and/or the longer transient duration associated with some routes. Note however all worker exposures will be below regulatory limits by significant margins. According to START [1] , the population exposed along a route may vary significantly between various routes (noting all exposures will meet regulatory limits and be neglibibly small). Risks associated with lifting activities will be designed to be negligibly small and routes requiring a higher number of lifts (i.e., barge) over other routes, will also result in higher costs and higherworker exposures and hence, are covered by those metrics. transportation (e.g., barge) to allow for comparison of the average accident frequency of each mode. The cumulative frequency will also be examined, but is expected to be comparable between each of the modes as the low frequency associated with the long rail portion of each route will dilute these frequencies. The OSHA risks are expected to be negligible and comparable for each of the routes and any difference will be covered by the transit duration metric. Routes broken down into specific modes of
