Contracts
Carriers can have access to the network of response contractors through a dispatch agreement. For an annual fee of $50.00 per tank truck/car, members will have access to the dispatch organizations' 24 hour emergency number. The agreement is automatically expanded to cover British Columbia at no extra cost. Therefore Western Canada Response Corporation is being added as a party to provide dispatch services in connection with spills in that area. A copy of the amended dispatch agreement can be found on ECRC's website under "Land-Based Program – Contracts"
A summary of the amendments are as follows and will be provided on renewal;
- the terms of the Dispatch Agreement are amended as follows:
