presentations by witnesses discussing
changes in local and state safety
oversight that have been proposed since
the November 22, 2006, accident at CAI/
Arnel. This will be followed by a public
comment period prior to a Board vote
on the report.
On November 22, 2006, at about 2:45
a.m., a violent explosion at the CAI/
Arnel manufacturing facility rocked the
town of Danvers, MA. The explosion
and subsequent fire destroyed the
facility, heavily damaged dozens of
nearby homes and businesses, and
shattered windows as far away as one
mile. At least 10 residents required
hospital treatment for cuts and bruises.
More than 16 homes and three
businesses were damaged beyond
repair. Dozens of boats at the nearby
marina were heavily damaged by blast
overpressure and debris strikes.
Local authorities ordered the
evacuation of more than 300 residents
within a half-mile of the facility. Many
residents could not return for many
months while they waited for their
houses to be rebuilt or repaired.
Seventeen months after the explosion,
six homes had yet to be reoccupied as
repairs were not completed.
Following the conclusion of the
public comment period, the Board will
consider whether to approve the final
report and recommendations. All staff
presentations are preliminary and are
intended solely to allow the Board to
consider in a public forum the issues
and factors involved in this case. No
factual analyses, conclusions or findings
presented by staff should be considered
final. Only after the Board has
considered the final staff presentation,
