Over the past few weeks NAEGA President and CEO Gary Martin has issued two Clause 20 certifications upon the recommendation of a NAEGA Clause 20 panel.
Hurricane Harvey – August-September 2017
This request for certification resulted when delivery was prevented at the applicant’s elevator due to actions by Federal, state or local governments or authorities. Leading up to and following the passing of Hurricane Harvey through the Houston area, the U.S. Coast Guard limited traffic and closed the Port of Houston, preventing vessels from accessing the applicant’s facility and preventing loading of the commodity. The panel recommended and the President certified that a valid cause existed between 1500 CDT on August 24, 2017 and 0306 CDT on September 5, 2017.
Hurricane Nate – October 2017
This request for certification resulted when delivery was prevented at the applicant’s elevator due to actions by Federal, state or local governments or authorities. Leading up to and following the passing of Hurricane Nate through the New Orleans area, Plaquemines Parish issued a mandatory evacuation that resulted in the closing and suspension of labor at the applicant’s elevator. This prevented delivery of the commodity at the applicant’s facility. The panel recommended and the President certified that a valid cause existed between 1500 CDT on October 6, 2017 and 1300 CDT on October 8, 2017.
