Overview

Mission

The forum provides monitoring and public information regarding environmental issues related to the petrochemical industry in southeast Texas. The forum also provides general public information regarding emergency response issues and provides a public awareness telephone information system which facilitates the rapid communication of emergencies and high-profile events in the petrochemical industry to the public.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 89% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
