Overview: Because the discussion sessions involve the collection of subjective information (e.g. opinions, concerns) and the process for gathering the information involves a variety of individuals (e.g. committee members, recorders), the day summaries are not statistically valid. The summaries provide a qualitative overview or 'flavor' of the content of the discussion sessions in each community. The intention of the day summaries is to provide an indication of trends in concerns, issues and solutions presented by the public. Summaries of the individual interviews are available to the committee and will be used in their work. Terminology: While the summaries are not quantitative, specific terminology has been used to provide a general indication of the number of similar responses. As such, the following list of words offer an estimate of the number of responses: "A few" refers to about one quarter of the participants "Some" refers to under half of the participants "Several" refers to about half of the participants "Most" refers to about three quarters of the participants Format: Each of the Day Summaries includes information about the location and date of each Discussion Sessions as well as a list of the Advisory Committee members that were in attendance. In addition, the number of public participants is provided. This figure reflects the number of individuals that attended each session, however, it is important to note that several of the participants indicated that they were representing the issues and opinions of their particular organization and/or group. As such, the information gathered by the Committee during the Discussion Sessions is, in many cases, representative of a greater sample of the public than the number of participants figure suggests. Each Day Summary begins with a Session Overview that identifies the key issues that were consistently presented by the participants in each location. The results of each day have then been summarized and organized into three topic categories, including (1) Prevention, Policy and Jurisdiction; (2) Event Consequence Management; and, (3) Communication and Compensation. These topic categories correspond with the Advisory Committee's three working groups, which have been established to assess and address specific aspects of the issues surrounding public health and safety and sour gas.
