Ed Ondak Comments

Richard,

I have not had the time to digest the document in its entirety. A quick glance, looked pretty good to me. One area that concerns me is 3.2. We should not reference regulatory requirements as a basis for the need for external corrosion. This document will be referenced world wide and some areas do not have regulatory requirements. No one, whether it be a company or an individual, should rely on and do a corrosion control program because a regulatory body says so. That is what brought about the regulations that we are faced with today.


A good corrosion program should be based on the science as we know it today, prudent operation by a company or an individual, considering public safety and the value of the assets that are being protected.


Remember, if we don't protect our assets, we may not have any assets to protect.


Edward Ondak, P.E.
