Subpart A. - INTRODUCTION
300.1 Purpose and Objectives
This plan provides for a pattern of coordinated and integrated response by departments and
agencies of the federal government to protect the environment from damaging effects of pollution.
It provides for timely and effective coordination and direction of federal, state, and local response
systems and supports the development of local government and private sectors' ability to handle
such incidents. This plan provides the organizational structure and objectives for preparing for
and responding to a discharge of oil or release of hazardous substances, pollutants, and
contaminants.
This Region VII Integrated Contingency Plan (RICP) fulfills the requirements of the National
Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP) for both Regional Contingency
Plans and Area Contingency Plans. As well as the Federal Response Plan (FRP), Emergency
Support Function (ESF)#10 (Hazardous Materials). The RICP implements the NCP and the ESF
#10 component of the Federal Response Plan (FRP) at the regional level and is the chief working
document of the Regional Response Team, the Area Committee, and ESF #10.
300.2 Authority and Applicability
The National Contingency Plan (NCP) is required by Section 105 of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980, [42 U.S.C.
9605], as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1986,
[Pub. L. 99-499], and by Section 311 of the Clean Water Act (CWA), [33 U.S.C. 13219(d)], as
amended by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA), [Pub. L. 101-380], The President delegated to
the Environmental Protection Agency the responsibility for the amendments of the NCP (40 CFR
part 300). The ESF 10 components of this plan are required by the Robert T. Stafford Disaster
Relief and Emergency Act (Public Law 93-288), as amended.
The NCP (Section 300.210 (b)) calls for the establishment of a nationwide system of RCPs
based on standard federal regions. This plan is part of that system and encompasses Standard
Federal Region VII, which includes the states of Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska. This
plan is applicable to response operations taken by all federal agencies within Standard Federal
Region VII, pursuant to the authorities under CERCLA and Section 311 of the CWA, as
amended.
This plan follows the format of the NCP and was developed to be implemented in conjunction
with other sub-area plans, state emergency response plans and SARA Title III local emergency
plans. Local plans include data on vulnerable resources, potential pollution sources, cleanup
equipment, environmental features and other information that will allow an on-scene coordinator
(OSC) to quickly plan and organize a response to a pollution incident.

300.3 Scope
This RICP applies to and is in effect for:
A. Discharges of oil into or on the navigable waters, on the adjoining shorelines to the
navigable waters, into or on the waters of the exclusive economic zone, or that may affect natural
resources belonging to, appertaining to, or under the exclusive management authority of the
United States;
B. Discharges or releases into the environment of hazardous substances, and pollutants or
contaminants which may present an imminent and substantial danger to public health or welfare.
C. Geographic Description and Jurisdictional Guidance
The geographic scope of this RICP is USEPA Region VII, which encompasses the states of
Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. Detailed descriptions of areas of special environmental
and economic concern can be found in Appendices A.2 and A.3, Environmentally and
Economically Sensitive Areas. Overall, the responsibility to provide On-Scene Coordinators
(OSCs) for incidents or potential incidents is placed upon the EPA, United States Coast Guard
(USCG) and Department of Defense (DOD). The DOD will provide an OSC for all DOD-related
incidents and for all non-DOD-related incidents occurring on DOD property within Federal
Region VII, as outlined in 40 C.F.R. § 300.175(b)(4). All other real or potential incidents will be
responded to by OSCs provided by either the EPA or the USCG. Appendix C.3 shows the EPA
regional boundaries for Region VII. The NCP applies to and is in effect when the FRP and some
or all of its Emergency Support Functions (ESF's) are activated. The EPA is the primary agency
for ESF #10, Hazardous Materials under the FRP, for Public Law 93-288, as amended.
D. Plan Integration
The RICP and sub-area plans, discussed later in this document, expands upon the requirements
set forth in the NCP, augments coordination with State and local authorities, and integrates
existing State, local, and private-sector plans for the four-State area. Coordination between
inland and coastal plans is ensured because the USCG District Commander is the co-chair of the
Regional Response Team (RRT), and the RRT aids in Area planning and coordination for Region
VII. This integration is further strengthened through State involvement in both RICP and sub-
area planning. All federal contingency plans are to be coordinated and integrated with local
emergency response plans developed by Local Emergency Planning Committees (LEPCs).
Facility Response Plans, as defined by Section 31 l(j)(5)(A) of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. §
1321(j)(5)(A), shall be reviewed for approval and consistency with this RICP. During a response,
the OSC shall meet with the other responding parties to coordinate and integrate this RICP with
all other relevant plans including, but not limited to, Federal, State, local, tribal, and private plans.
The RRT/Area Committee will continuously review the effectiveness and integration of all plans is
based on actual responses, exercises, and all other relevant information leading to enhancement of
these plans.

Subpart B. - RESPONSIBILITY AND ORGANIZATION FOR RESPONSE
300.100 Duties of President Delegated to Federal Agencies
In Executive Orders 12580 and 12777, the President delegated certain functions and
responsibilities vested in him by the CWA, CERCLA, and OPA to the Administrator of the EPA
for the inland zone and the commandant of the USCG through the Secretary of Transportation for
the coastal zone. These functions and responsibilities include designating Areas, appointing Area
Committee members, determining the information to be included in ACPs, and reviewing and
approving ACPs. The EPA shall assign a FOSC to each inland zone Area to carry out these
functions and responsibilities.
300.105 General Organization Concepts
A listing of Federal agency, responsibilities, functions and resources is addressed in 300.170
and 300.175. Federal agencies should plan for emergencies and develop procedures for dealing
with oil discharges and releases of hazardous substances, pollutants or contaminants. Agencies
should coordinate their planning, preparedness, and response activities with one another, and with
affected states, local governments and private entities.
Three fundamental activities are performed pursuant to the NCP:
1. Preparedness, planning, and coordination for response to a discharge of oil or release of
hazardous substance, pollutant or contaminant.
2. Notification and communications.
3. Response operations at the scene of a discharge or release.
Unified Command System (UCS)
The Unified Command System (UCS) is proposed to be implemented among EPA Region VII,
State, and local government organizations, and the responsible party. Under an UCS, appropriate
on-scene officials of each agency shall participate in the coordination of the decision-making
process during the response. The UCS allows for a coordinated response effort, helps to ensure a
coordinated, effective response is carried out and that the particular needs of all parties involved
are taken into consideration. The FOSC has the ultimate authority in a response operation and
will exert this authority if the other members of the unified command are not present or are unable
to reach consensus within a reasonable time frame.
During responses to oil discharges, local agencies may be involved as part of the unified
command, and may provide agency representatives who interface with the command structure
through the Incident Commander or the State representative.
-------
REGION VII INTEGRATED CONTINGENCY PLAN
Page 7
300.110 National Response Team
National planning and coordination is accomplished through the NRT. The NRT consists of
representatives from the USCG, EPA, FEMA, DOD, DOE, USDA, DOC, HHS, DOI, DO J,
DOL, DOT, DOS, GSA, and Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
300.115 Regional Response Team
The Regional Response Team (RRT) is responsible for regional planning and preparedness
activities before response actions, and for providing advice and support to the OSC or RPM when
activated during a response. Region VII RRT membership consists of a designated
representatives from each federal agency participating in the NRT, together with representatives
from each of the four states, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska.
The two principal components of the RRT mechanism are a standing team, which consists of
designated representatives from each participating federal agency and state governments; and
incident-specific teams formed from the standing team when the RRT is activated for a response.
a. Standing RRT.
The standing RRT serves as the regional body for planning and preparedness actions before a
response action s taken. Except for periods of activation for an incident specific response action,
the representatives of EPA and USCG shall act as co-chairs. The chair for periods of response
action will be provided by the agency providing the OSC for the response operation. A listing of
the RRT representatives can be found in Appendix D.3.
The standing RRT should:
1) continuously review regional and local responses to discharges or releases, consider
available legal remedies, equipment readiness, and coordinate among responsible public agencies
and private organizations,
2) based on observations of response operations, recommend revisions of the National
Contingency Plan to the NRT,
3) consider and recommend necessary changes to the RCP and ACP based on continuing
review of response actions in the region,
4) be prepared to provide response resources to major discharges or releases outside the
region,
-------
REGION VII INTEGRATED CONTINGENCY PLAN
page 8
5) meet at least semi-annually to review response actions carried out during the preceding
period, and consider changes in federal regional, area, and local contingency plans,
6) provide minutes of the RRT meetings to the NRT twice a year, no later than January 31
and July 31. Reports will summarize recent activities, organizational changes, operational
concerns, and efforts to improve state and local preparedness,
7) review local emergency response plans at the request of the LEPC made by the LEPC
through the SERC and the State RRT representative,
8) encourage state and local response communities to improve their preparedness for
response. Conduct or participate in training and exercises to encourage preparedness activities of
the response community in the region,
9) in it capacity as the Area Committee, conduct advance planning for the use of dispersants,
surface washing agents, surface collection agents, burning agents, bioremediation agents, or other
chemical agents in accordance with Subpart J of the NCP, and
10) work to maximize participation in the national program for announced and unannounced
exercises.
Area planning and coordination of preparedness and response actions is accomplished through
the Area Committee. The Regional Administrator (RA) has appointed the RRT as the Area
Committee for Region VII.
300.120 On-Scene Coordinators
The OSC directs response efforts and coordinates all other efforts at the scene of a discharge
or release in accordance with the NCP, RICP, state and local plans. As part of the planning and
preparedness for response, OSCs shall be predesignated by Region VII, Regional Administrator
or the USCG, Second District per EPA/USCG MOU for predetermined OSC designation. DOD
and DOE shall designate an OSC as stated in the NCP part 300.120 paragraphs (c) and (d). Other
federal agencies are responsible for non-emergency removals, as stated in the NCP part 300.120
(c)(2).
The OSC is responsible for overseeing development of the ACP in the area of the OSC's
responsibility. ACPs shall, as appropriate, be accomplished in cooperation with the RRT, and
designated state and local representatives. In contingency planning and response incidents, the
OSC coordinates, directs, and reviews the work of other agencies, Area Committee, states,
responsible parties, and contractors to assure compliance with the NCP and RICP, decision
document, consent decree, administrative order, and lead agency-approved plans applicable to the
response.
-------
REGION VII INTEGRATED CONTINGENCY PLAN
page 9
The OSC should ensure that any person designated to act as an on-scene representative is
adequately trained and prepared to carry out actions under the NCP, RICP, and applicable SACP,
to the extent practicable.
300.125 Notification and Communications
The National Response Center (NRC) is the national communications center for handling
activities related to response actions. The NRC acts as the single point of contact for all pollution
incident reporting. Notice of an oil discharge or release of a hazardous substance in an amount
equal to or greater than the reportable quantity must be made immediately in accordance with the
CWA and CERCLA under 33 C.F.R. Part 153, Subpart B, and 40 C.F.R. part 302, respectively.
Notification shall be made to the NRC Duty Officer, HQ USCG, Washington, DC, telephone
(800) 424-8802 or (202) 267-2675. All notices of discharges or releases received at the NRC will
be relayed immediately by telephone to the appropriate predesignated FOSC.
The Regional Response Center (RR.C) is the regional site for notification, communication, and
interagency coordination during a pollution incident. The RRC will be located at the appropriate
Coast Guard District office when a incident occurs within its jurisdiction. The RRC is located in
the EPA Regional Office when an incident occurs in all other areas of Region VII.
The EPA RRC will coordinate with the predesignated OSC and will coordinate
communication, information, limited supplies and equipment, and other personnel and facilities
necessary to allow proper function and administration of this plan during a response to an oil
discharge or a hazardous substance release. EPA uses Incident Notification Reports for oil spills
and hazardous substances releases. The affected state, as well as trustees for natural resources,
will be notified of all spills.
In addition, facilities may be required to report releases of specified hazardous substances to
the State Emergency Response Commission (SERC) and the Local Emergency Planning
Committee (LEPC) under Section 304 of the Emergency Planning and Community Right-To-
Know Act (EPCRA), 42 U.S.C. § 11004.
300.130 Determinations to Initiate Response and Special Conditions
The President shall, in accordance with the NCP and any appropriate ACP, ensure effective
and immediate removal of a discharge, and mitigation or prevention of a substantial threat of a
discharge of oil or release of hazardous substance. 33 U.S.C. § 1321(c). In carrying out this
mandate, the President may direct or monitor all Federal, State, and private actions to remove a
discharge. The NCP authorizes EPA or the USCG to act for the United States to take response
measures deemed necessary to protect public health or welfare or the environment from
discharges of oil or releases of hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants except with
respect to such releases on or from vessels or facilities under the jurisdiction, custody, or control
of other Federal agencies. 40 C.F.R. § 300.130. The assigned Federal OSC may initiate a
response. Upon approval by the Federal OSC, State or local governments may initiate a
government response.
-------
REGION VII INTEGRATED CONTINGENCY PLAN
page 10
In the event of a declaration of a major disaster by the President, FEMA may activate the
Federal Response Plan. A Federal Coordinating Officer (FCO), designated by the President, may
implement the FRP and coordinate and direct emergency assistance and disaster relief of impacted
individuals, business and public services under the Stafford Act. Delivery of federal assistance is
facilitated through 12 functional annexes to the FRP known as Emergency Support Functions.
EPA coordinates activities under ESF #10--Hazardous Materials, which addresses preparedness
and response to hazardous materials and oil incidents caused by a natural disaster or other
catastrophic event. In such cases, the OSC should coordinate response activities with the FCO,
through the incident-specific ESF #10 Chair, to ensure consistency and coordination with federal
disaster assistance activities.
300.135 Response Operations
To the extent practicable, response operations shall be consistent with Federal, State, and local
plans, including RICP, SACP, and Facility Response Plans. The NRC is the national
communications center for activities related to pollution response actions. It is located at USCG
Headquarters in Washington, D.C. The NRC receives and provides computer developed spill
dispersion forecasts for spills, disseminates OSC and RRT reports to the NRT when appropriate,
and when required provides facilities for the NRT to use in coordination of a national response
action. The NRC also maintains tele-conferencing capability, as well as a technical library on oil
and hazardous substances and can evaluate chemical discharge hazards.
The Regional Response Center (RRC) is the regional site for notification, communication, and
inter agency coordination during a pollution incident. The RRC will be located at the appropriate
Coast Guard district office when an incident occurs within its jurisdiction area. The RRC will be
located in the EPA Regional Office when an incident occurs in all other areas of Region VII.
The EPA Region VII, RRC located at 25 Funston Road, Kansas City, Kansas, 66115, will
provide a predesignated OSC and will coordinate communication, information, limited supplies
and equipment, and other personnel and facilities necessary to allow proper functioning and
administration of this plan. The state, as well as trustees for natural resources, will be notified on
all spills.
EPA Region VII and the USCG Second Division, are responsible for responding to incidents,
and EPA will provide predesignated OSCs to all pollution response activities in the inland zone.
However, DOD and DOE shall designate OSCs for releases of hazardous substances, pollutants,
or contaminants from DOE and DOD facilities and vessels. The EPA will provide OSCs for all
CWA discharges and non-DOD CERCLA releases unless otherwise agreed. In certain instances,
the USCG may act as the lead agency for actual or threatened pollution incidents involving
commercial vessels or marine transportation related facilities. The areas of responsibility have
been established by a joint EPA and USCG Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). This
memorandum is contained in Annex I.

REGION VII INTEGRATED CONTINGENCY PLAN
page 11
On-Scene Coordinators - Specific Responsibilities
The OSC shall direct response efforts and coordinate all other efforts at the scene of a
discharge or release. As part of the planning and preparations for response, the OSCs are
predesignated by the Regional or district head of the lead agency.
The OSC shall, to the extent practicable, collect pertinent facts about the discharge or release,
such as its source and cause; the identification of potentially responsible parties; the nature,
amount, and locations of discharged or released materials; the probable direction and time of
travel of discharged or released materials; the pathways to human and environmental exposure;
the potential impact on human health, welfare, and safety and the environment; the potential
impact on natural resources and property which may be affected; priorities for protecting human
health and welfare and the environment; and appropriate cost documentation.
The OSC's efforts shall be coordinated with other appropriate Federal, State, local, and private
response agencies. OSCs may designate capable persons from Federal, State, or local agencies to
act as their on-scene representatives. State and local governments, however, are not authorized
to take actions under Subparts D and E of the NCP that involve expenditures of CWA section
311 (k) or CERCLA funds unless an appropriate contract or cooperative agreement has been
established.
The OSC should consult regularly with the RRT in carrying out the NCP and RICP and keep
the RRT informed of activities under the NCP and RICP. The OSC shall advise the support
agency as promptly as possible of reported releases
During a natural disaster response under the FRP, the OSC should evaluate incoming
information and immediately inform the FCO or the appropriate representative of potentially
significant developments involving hazardous materials.
The OSC is responsible for addressing worker health and safety concerns at a response scene
in accordance with the NCP. In those instances where a possible public health emergency exists,
the OSC should notify the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) representative to the
RRT. Throughout response actions, the OSC may call upon the HHS representative for
assistance in determining public health threats and call upon the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) and HHS for advice on worker health and safety problems.
The OSC shall promptly notify the appropriate trustees for natural resources of discharges or
releases that are injuring or may injure natural resources under their jurisdiction. The OSC shall
seek to coordinate all response activities with the natural resource trustees.
O
-------
REGION VII INTEGRATED CONTINGENCY PLAN
page 12
When the OSC becomes aware that a discharge or release may adversely affect any endangered
or threatened species, or result in destruction or adverse modification of the habitat of such
species, the OSC should consult with the Department of the Interior (DOI).
In the event that the OSC is not the first to arrive at the scene, the first Federal official
affiliated with an NRT member agency to arrive at the scene of a discharge or release should
coordinate activities under this RICP and is authorized to initiate, in consultation with the OSC,
any necessary actions normally carried out by the OSC until the arrival of the predesignated OSC.
This official may initiate Federal Fund-financed actions only as authorized by the OSC or, if the
OSC is unavailable, the authorized representative of the lead agency.
All Federal agencies should plan for emergencies and develop procedures for dealing with oil
discharges and releases of hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants from vessels and
facilities under their jurisdiction. All Federal agencies, therefore, are responsible for designating
the office that coordinates response to such incidents in accordance with the NCP and applicable
Federal regulations and guidelines.
Responsible Party Policy
The responsible party has primary responsibility for cleanup of a discharge or release. The
response shall be conducted in accordance with their applicable response plan. Section
311(c)(3)(B) of CWA, 33 U.S.C. § 1321(c)(3)(B), requires an owner or operator of a facility
participating in removal efforts to act in accordance with the NCP and the applicable response
plan. Section 31 l(j)(5)(C) of CWA requires that these response plans shall:
"(i) be consistent with the requirements of the National Contingency Plan and Area
Contingency Plans;
"(ii) identify the qualified individual having full authority to implement removal actions, and
require immediate communication between that individual and the appropriate Federal official and
the persons providing personnel and equipment pursuant to clause (iii);
"(iii) identify, and ensure by contract or other means approved by the President the availability
of, private personnel and equipment necessary to remove to the maximum extent practicable a
worst case discharge (including a discharge resulting from fire or explosion), and to mitigate or
prevent a substantial threat of such a discharge;
"(iv) describe the training, equipment testing, periodic unannounced drills, and response
actions of persons on the vessel or at the facility, to be carried out under the plan to ensure the
safety of the vessel or the facility and to mitigate or prevent the discharge, or substantial threat of
a discharge;
-------
REGION VII INTEGRATED CONTINGENCY PLAN
page 13
"(v) be updated periodically; and
"(vi) be resubmitted for approval of each significant change." 33 U.S.C. § 1321(j)(5)(c).
All owners or operators of a tank vessel or facility that are required by OPA 90 to submit a
response plan shall do so in accordance with applicable regulations. Facility and tank vessel
response plan regulations, including plan requirements, are located in 33 C.F.R. § 154 and 40
C.F.R. § 112, respectively. Prior to approval, facility and vessel response plans shall be reviewed
for consistency with this RICP.
As defined in OPA 90, each responsible party for a vessel or a facility from which oil is
discharged, or which poses a substantial threat of a discharge, into or upon the navigable waters
or adjoining shorelines or the Exclusive Economic Zone is liable for the removal costs and
damages specified in Section 311(f) of CWA, 33 U.S.C. § 311(f). Any removal activity
undertaken by the responsible party must be consistent with the provisions of the NCP,, RICP
and the applicable response plan required by OPA 90. If directed by the Federal OSC at any time
during removal activities, the responsible party must act accordingly.
300.140 Multi-Area Responses
There shall be only one Federal OSC at any time during the course of a response operation.
During a multi-regional response, oil discharges or releases of hazardous substances that occurs
within Region VII may originate in or affect EPA Region VHI (Colorado, Wyoming, South
Dakota), EPA Region V (Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois), EPA Region IV (Kentucky,
Tennessee), EPA Region VI (Arkansas, Oklahoma), or the Eighth U.S. Coast Guard District.
The lead region responsibility will normally be based on the location of the origin of the discharge
or release.
300.145 Special Teams and Other Assistance Available to OSCs
The NSF is a special team established by the USCG, including the three USCG Strike Teams,
the Public Information Assist Team (PIAT), and the NSFCC. The NSF is available to assist
OSCs/RPMs in their preparedness and response duties.
The three Strike Teams (Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific) provide trained personnel and specialized
equipment to assist the OSC in training for spill response, stabilizing and containing the discharge
or release, and in monitoring or directing the response actions of the responsible parties and/or
contractors. The OSC has a specific team designated for initial contact and may contact that team
directly for any assistance. The Gulf Strike Team has been predesignated to support EPA Region
VII.

Office maintains a list of fire supplies and equipment within the state.
NOTE: Response equipment available from the special teams listed above is listed in Appendix
C.2.
300.150 Worker Health and Safety
The EPA and OSHA workers' protection standards (1910.120) implement Section 126 of Title
I of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1986. Title I directs OSHA
and EPA to publish regulations to ensure the health and safety of all workers potentially exposed
to the risks present during hazardous waste operations and emergency response. The Worker
Protection Standards apply to employers whose employees are engaged in hazardous waste
operations and emergency response.
The OSHA regulations apply directly to all Federal and private employees in states without
OSHA-approved plans. In states having an OSHA-approved plan, those state regulations apply
to state, local and private employees. The EPA's workers' protection regulations cover State and
local government employees without OSHA-approved plans.
-------
REGION VII INTEGRATED CONTINGENCY PLAN
page 15
Additionally:
1. Response actions under the NCP will comply with the provisions for response action worker
safety and health in 29 CFR 1919.120.
2. In a response action taken by a responsible party, the responsible party must assure that an
occupational safety and health program consistent with 29 CFR 1910.120 is made available for
the protection of workers at a response site.
3. When a State, or political subdivision of a state, without an OSHA-approved state plan is
the lead agency for a response, the state or political subdivision must comply with standards in 40
CFR Part 311, promulgated by the EPA pursuant to Section 126(f) of SARA. In Region VII,
Iowa is the only state with an OSHA-approved State plan.
300.155 Public Information and Community Relations
The OSC may request a public information specialist to handle media and community relations.
The public information specialist should develop a community relations plan in accordance with
the NCP. Public information coordination through the Joint Information Center is described in
the FRP ESF 10 Supplement, (Appendix H).
Information dissemination relating to natural resource damage assessment activities shall be
coordinated through the lead administrative trustee. The lead administrative trustee may assist the
OSC by disseminating information on issues relating to damage assessment activities.
300.160 Documentation and Cost Recovery
Section 300.335 outlines the types of funds that may be available to remove certain oil and
hazardous substances discharges. (40 C.F.R. § 300.335.) For releases of oil or hazardous
substances, pollutants, or contaminants, the following provisions apply:
During all phases of response, the lead agency shall complete and maintain documentation to
support all actions taken under the RICP and to form the basis for cost recovery. In general,
documentation shall be sufficient to provide the source and circumstances of the release, the
identity of responsible parties, the response action taken, accurate accounting of Federal, State, or
private party costs incurred for response actions, and impacts and potential impacts to the public
health and welfare and the environment. Where applicable, documentation shall state when the
NRC received notification of a release of oil or discharge a reportable quantity.
The information and reports obtained by the lead agency for Fund-financed response actions
shall, as appropriate, be transmitted to the National Pollution Fund Center. Copies can then be
forwarded to the NRT, members of the RRT, and others, as appropriate.
-------
REGION VII INTEGRATED CONTINGENCY PLAN
page 16
The lead agency shall make available to the trustees of affected natural resources information
and documentation that can assist the trustees in the determination of actual or potential natural
resource damages. Response actions undertaken by the participating agencies shall be carried out
under existing programs and authorities when available. Federal agencies are to make resources
available, expend funds, or participate in response to discharges and releases under their existing
authority. Further funding provisions for discharges of oil are described in 300.335 of the NCP.
Documentation and financial management under ESF #10 shall be consistent with the Financial
Management Annex of the FRP and other provisions contained in the RICP.
300.165 OSC Reports
OSC reports will be submitted when requested by the RRT or NRT.
300.170 Federal Agency Participation
Federal agencies listed in Section 300.175 of the NCP have duties established by statute,
executive order, or Presidential directive which may apply to Federal response actions following,
or in prevention of, the discharge of oil or release of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or
contaminant. Federal agencies may be called upon by an OSC during response planning and
implementation to provide assistance in their respective areas of expertise. Some of these
agencies also have duties relating to the restoration, rehabilitation, replacement, or acquisition of
equivalent natural resources to those damaged or lost as a result of such discharge or release.
Additional federal agency responsibilities are described in Section 300.170 of the NCP and in the
FRP.

300.180 State and Local Participation in Response
The NCP (40 C.F.R. § 300.180) describes general State and local participation in response.
Appropriate local and State officials will be identified and participate as part of the response
structure as provided in Appendix D of this plan.
Each governor, in the region, is asked to assign an office or agency to represent the state on
the RRT. The state's representative may participate fully in all facets of RRT activity and shall
designate the appropriate element of the state government that would undertake direction of state
managed oil or hazardous substance releases. Each state RRT member also represents and
coordinates the RRT involvement of various other state, county, and municipal organizations.
The RRT has also been appointed by the EPA Administrator to be the Area Committee for the
development of the Region VIIRICP.
A. The State of Iowa
1) The Iowa State Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) is the enforcement agency for the
environmental laws in the state of Iowa and coordinates response to spills. If a threat to human
safety exists in a pollution case, IDNR coordinates requested assistance from state agencies, and
acts as the liaison with Federal officials. Agency personnel are available 24 hours a day for
technical assistance to abate the exposure of citizens to hazardous materials, and for investigation
of pollution incidents and assessment of environmental damages. The Department of Natural
Resources can provide laboratory services and water quality survey assistance. Requests for
disposal sites and incinerators for waste oil should be coordinated through this department, which
also represents the state for all RRT activity.
2) The Iowa Department of Public Defense, Disaster Services Division, coordinates disaster
response actions and provides guidance and assistance. In a response, the Division provides
assistance to the lead agency and local government on coordinating relocation assistance and
supporting evacuated citizens.
B. The State of Kansas
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) is the lead agency in the state for
enforcement of environmental laws and response to oil and hazardous substances release
incidents. A member of this department is the RRT representative.
C. The State of Missouri
The Department of Natural Resources, Division of Environmental Quality, will provide
response assistance on hazardous materials incidents and oil discharges. A member of this
department is the RRT representative.
-------
REGION VII INTEGRATED CONTINGENCY PLAN
page 19
D. The State of Nebraska
The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) will coordinate state responses to oil
discharge or release of a hazardous substance and water quality survey assistance. A member of
this department is the RRT representative.
E. Local Emergency Planning Committees
The LEPCs are responsible for the development and maintenance of local emergency response
plans in accordance with EPCRA, Sections 301 to 303. The LEPCs' membership includes
various representatives from local governmental agencies, emergency responders, environmental
groups, and local industry. The emergency plans developed by these groups must include the
following information, the identity and location of hazardous materials; procedures for immediate
response to a chemical accident; ways to notify members of the public of actions they must take,
in the event of a discharge or release; names of coordinators at plants; and schedules for testing
the plan.
The local emergency response plan must be reviewed by the State Emergency Response
Commission (SERC). The RRTs may review the plans and provide assistance if the SERC or
LEPC, through the State RRT representative makes such a request. Federal contingency plans
provide for coordination with local governmental organizations, such as counties, cities, or towns
governments. This is especially important for traffic control, land access, and disposal of oil or
hazardous materials removed during response operations. State conservation departments,
through their State's representative on the RRT, shall coordinate fish and wildlife preservation
measures. When necessary, the closing of areas to commercial and recreational fishing due to
health hazards will be accomplished by the appropriate state agency.
300.185 Non-governmental Participation
Industry groups, academic organizations, and others are encouraged to commit resources for
response operations.
This plan anticipates and encourages representation from industry, landowners, volunteer
groups, and other stakeholders. Non-governmental participants will have an ex-officio role on the
Area Committee.
There are several non-governmental entities that can provide assistance during a pollution
response action within Federal EPA Region VII. A partial listing of this information is provided
below and further information is contained in the NCP Sec. 300.210.

Subpart C. PLANNING AND PREPAREDNESS
300.200 General
Flowcharts and diagrams of the descriptions of planning and coordination structures, Federal
contingency plans, and EPCRA local emergency response plans are located in the NCP and FRP.
The Area committee serves as a planning and preparedness body to support the FOSC and is
encouraged to include membership from Federal, State, and local governments and private entities
(as ex-officio members). The Area Committees is not response-support body, and is not required
to participate in response efforts, but however should have a knowledge of response procedures.
300.205 Planning and Coordination Structure
National - The NRT is responsible for national planning and coordination.
Regional - The RRTs are responsible for regional planning and coordination. In addition, the
EPA RRT Co-chair is responsible for the ESF-10 components of this plan. This RICP
consolidates the Regional Contingency Plan, the Area Contingency Plan, and the ESF 10 (FRP)
into a single plan.
Area - This RICP covers the Standard Federal Region VII: Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and
Nebraska. Planning for sub-areas includes the four Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA) of
Omaha/Council Bluffs, Kansas City, St. Louis, and Quad Cities, as well as the Missouri River
Basin.
State - The SERC of each State, appointed by the Governor, is to designate emergency
planning districts, appoint LEPCs, supervise and coordinate their activities, and review local
hazardous materials response plans.
Local - Emergency planning districts are designated by the SERC in order to facilitate the
preparation and implementation of emergency plans. Each LEPC is to prepare a local hazardous
materials response plan for the emergency planning district and receive and process requests from
the public for information generated by Title III reporting requirements.
On-Shore Facilities - Those that could be expected to cause substantial harm to the
environment, because of their location, are required to plan for a worse case discharge.
-------
REGION VII INTEGRATED CONTINGENCY PLAN
page 23
300.210 Federal Contingency Plans
The three levels of Federal contingency plans are listed in the NCP 300.210.
Section 31 l(j)(4)(C)(i), of the CWA, requires that the RICP, when implemented in conjunction
with the NCP, be adequate to remove a worst case discharge. Region VII determines a worst
case discharge to involve ANY discharge or threat of a discharge in sufficient quantities to impact
public health, welfare or the environment, where the parties responsible for the threat or discharge
are unwilling or unable to perform the required response actions. This RICP regards a worst-case
discharge in an identical manner.
Below is a oil spill scenario that is applicable to Region VII. The formulation provides
parameters to what may be a worst-case discharge. The information will be updated as more
FRPs are received and as other regulations are developed.
OIL SPILL SCENARIO (WORST CASE):
Assumptions: In all cases, assume parties contributing to the spill are not or can not take
appropriate response action.
Hazard Assessment: Each State within Region VII is unique, but also share some common
concerns. By looking at the past history of incidents (i.e. natural or technological accidents) the
inevitable future occurrences can be better prepared for. Understanding the community or
surrounding area is crucial for proper planning. An industry that produces, uses, or stores oil may
result in a high risk of technological hazard to the community. Although the community may not
appear to be at risk, the facility may be close to or within a highly vulnerable area. A facility
located near a fault line, river's edge or related natural hazard or industrial development has the
potential to be economically impacted or to impact other economically sensitive areas or to affect
ESAs.
Vulnerability Analysis: Particular points of environmental and economic sensitivity include,
but are not limited to the Environmentally and Economically Sensitive Areas, for Iowa, Kansas,
Missouri and Nebraska, listed in Appendices A.2 and A.3.
Seasonal/Geographic Considerations:
-High Risk Vulnerability
Each state has the potential for flooding, freezing ice build up on rivers, tornados, etc.
Earthquakes are potential disasters in Southeast Missouri and Central Kansas.
-------
REGION VII INTEGRATED CONTINGENCY PLAN
page 24
EPA Region VII in development of a worst-case discharge is listing a collection of suggestions
and checklists to provide quick access to critical information to assist in formulating a facility's
worst case discharge. This compilation is neither a textbook nor a substitute for training,
qualified technical advice, or common sense. It only addresses response to oil spills that could
reach water.
RESPONSE PRIORITIES
The following points should be considered when attempting to minimize effects of an oil spill.
Health and safety are the first priorities.
Pay attention to:
- Fire and explosion potential of vapors at or near the spill site.
- Potential toxic effects of the spill and chemical countermeasures.
- Proper use of safety equipment.
- Hyperthermia, hypothermia.
- Small boat safety.
- Helicopter and aircraft safety.
Speed is essential in recovery efforts
- Oil spreads and drifts rapidly.
- Evaporation rapidly increases oil viscosity.
- Oil can be burned more readily when fresh.
- Sustained Combustion requires at least 0.1 inch (2-3 mm) of slick thickness.
- Oil is usually easier to deal with in water than when it has contacted the shore.
CLEANUP PRIORITIES
The nine oil spill remediation steps are:
1. Stop the discharge.
2. Assess amount and type of spilled oil via surveillance and tracking.
3. Follow the procedures defined in the contingency plans, with modification as necessary.
Document all actions.
4. Contain and remove spilled oil at the source.
5. Protect threatened resources and monitor shorebound oil.
6. Treat or contain and remove offshore oil that has escaped the primary control operation at
the source.
7. Skim the oil that has pooled along the shore in natural collection areas such as sloughs and
coves.
8. Clean up shorelines where oil has stranded, to the extent possible and advisable.
9. Dispose of collected materials.
-------
REGION VII INTEGRATED CONTINGENCY PLAN
page 25
SHORTFALLS
There are potential shortfalls in any type of oil spill which might occur. Some of those
shortfalls may be:
1. Equipment:
- Logistics of staging and operating equipment
- Limited availability of specialized equipment
- Discharge or release may be inaccessible to equipment available
2. Personnel: Additional personnel will come in from outside the area
3. Funds: May not be immediately accessible
4. Minimum response times: Delays in response due to the remoteness of the spill location
5. Location and identification of additional resources: Substantial time may be needed to obtain
additional resources
PROCEDURES AND CRITERIA FOR TERMINATING THE CLEANUP
EPA Region VII cleanup procedures will continue until the determination is made jointly by
the Federal and State OSCs, Natural Resource Trustees, and Responsible Party decide to cease
cleanup operations.
RESPONSE GUIDELINES ANNEX- Under development.
Region VII contains very diverse industries and ecological zones. A spill of one type and size
might have a minor impact on one area and might be devastating in another. Procedures on
response guidelines will be written for Region VII, and incorporated into this plan.
SPILL HISTORY
To prepare for the inevitable oil spill incident, the responder needs to know the characteristics
of the size and type of possible occurrences. Looking at the spill history of an area is a good way
to anticipate what is likely to happen in the future. All oil spills, of reportable quantity, are to be
reported to the National Response Center (NRC) 1-800-424-8802.
When spills are reported, they are disseminated to the USCG/EPA FOSC where they occurred,
for possible response actions. This mechanism for recording spills is labeled the Emergency
Response Notification System (ERNS). Research of the ERNS data for Region VII from 1988,
separating out the oil specific information, resulted in a listing of the larger oil spills within this
region. States were also requested to submit their spill history data to help hypothesize a worst
case discharge in this region.
-------
REGION VII INTEGRATED CONTINGENCY PLAN
page 26
CATEGORIES:
Specific spill categories were researched from the ERNS database in the four state region.
These categories are: pipelines, fixed facilities, highways, underground tanks, aboveground tanks
and railways. The largest discharge and/or release from type of facility is each state since 1988 is
recorded in Table I. Spill data on vessels was obtained from the USCG.
The following matrices (Table 1 & II) show the oil spill history for the four states in Region
VII. The data represent natural, human and technological events.(see Appendix F).

Adequacy to Remove a Worst Case Discharge
This RICP, when implemented in conjunction with the NCP, is adequate to mitigate and/or
prevent a substantial threat of a worst case discharge. Private industry and local emergency
responders provide the front-line defense in response to all spills, including a worst case
discharge.
-------
REGION VII INTEGRATED CONTINGENCY PLAN
page 27
Adequacy to remove a worst case discharge is currently addressed through existing
contingency plans and guidance manuals. Among these, the RCP, which outlines federal
resources available to the OSC from RRT agencies, as well as Regional response policies. The
local emergency contingency plan outlines resources available from outside of RRT agencies, and
response protocols are outlined in the RICP. This RICP also lists resources which are not found
in any of the referenced plans.
The different categories of worst case discharges are outlined in Tables I & II. In assessing the
adequacy of removal of these, the equipment section of this plan (Appendix C.2) includes
contractors from outside of the state which may be accessed for additional equipment.
In terms of prevention of oil spill, including a worst case discharge, the Spill Prevention,
Control, and Countermeasures (SPCC) Program, administered through EPA, requires all non-
transportation-related facilities within EPA's jurisdiction, to develop plans necessary to contain a
discharge of oil and prevent it from reaching navigable waters. This program is much broader
than contingency planning. It requires facilities to develop and design plans that include the
installation of equipment, most notable secondary containment systems, such as dikes, barriers
and diversionary flow paths, so that spills into waters of the United States will be prevented.
When such design and engineering controls are not practicable for a facility, the owner must
provide a detailed contingency plan following the criteria outlined in 40 C.F.R. Part 109. Some of
these criteria include the establishment of notification procedures, identification of resources, and
provisions for specific actions. For transportation-related on-shore and off-shore facilities, such
as vessels, the Department of Transportation (DOT) issues regulations concerning the safe
handling of hazardous materials. The Minerals Management Service of the Department of the
Interior is also responsible for certain off-shore fixed facilities.
Fish and Wildlife Response Plan
OPA 90 amended Section 311(d) of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. § 1321(d), to include a fish and
wildlife response plan, developed in consultation with the USFWS, NOAA, and other interested
parties (including State fish and wildlife conservation officials), for the immediate and effective
protection, rescue, and rehabilitation of, and the minimization of risk of damage to, fish and
wildlife resources and their habitat that are harmed or that may be jeopardized by a discharge.
See Appendix A. 3 of the RICP for the Fish and Wildlife and Sensitive Environments listing.

300.211 Facility Response Plans
Facility Response Plans are maintained by EPA Region VII, Vessel Response Plans are
maintained by the local USCG MSOs. Certain facilities, those which pose a significant and
substantial threat to the environment, in order to be granted approval to operate with an approved
Facility Response Plan, have provided certification that they have, by contracts or approved mean,
the resources capable of removing a worst case discharge (WCD) from their facility. In Region
VII, all 58 of the facilities, which have been determined to pose such a risk have provided an
adequate certification. All Facility Response Plans will be reviewed for approval, which will
include adequate resources to remove a facility WCD. Among the requirement for approval,
Facility Response Plans will also be required to be integrated with local emergency plans,
prepared under the EPCRA.
300.212 Area Response Drills
In order to check the adequacy of a facility to remove a worst case discharge, the Federal lead
agency, EPA or USCG, shall periodically conduct drills of removal capability, without prior
notice, in areas for which ACPs are required and under relevant tank vessel and facility response
plans. The drills are to be conducted under the National Preparedness for Response Exercise
Program (PREP), and may include participation by Federal, State, and local agencies, the owners
and operators of vessels and facilities in the area, and private industry.
This RICP shall integrate approved vessel, offshore facility, onshore facility, pipeline, and bulk
transportation response plans. The structure that currently is the basis for integration of inland
and coastal ACPs is the RRT. Regional response policies and preparedness activities, concerning
both inland and coastal issues, are currently addressed through the RRT, and outlined in the
RICP, which is approved by BOTH the EPA and USCG co-chairs.
300.215 EPCRA local emergency response plans
The regulations that implement EPCRA are codified at 40 C.F.R. Part 355.
Each LEPC is to prepare an emergency response plan in accordance with Section 303 of
EPCRA and to review the plan once a year, or more frequently as changed circumstances in the
community or at any subject facility may require. Such local emergency response plans should be
closely coordinated with applicable ACPs and State emergency response plans. To assure
coordination with EPCRA, it is recommended that the Area Committee include appropriate LEPC
or other EPCRA representation.
Appendices D. 1 and D.2 contain a listing of state LEPCs and SERCs, respectively.

SUBPART D. OPERATIONAL RESPONSE PHASES FOR OIL REMOVAL
300.300 Discovery and Notification
Notice of an oil discharge or release of a hazardous substance in an amount equal to or greater
than the reportable quantity must be made immediately in accordance with 33 CFR part 153,
Subpart B and 40 CFR part 302, respectively. Notification will be made to the NRC Duty
Officer, HQ USCG, Washington, D.C., telephone (800) 424-8802. All notices of discharges or
releases received at the NRC will be relayed immediately by telephone to the Region VIIRRC
(913) 236-3778 or USCG Second District (314) 539-3706 or lead agencies. The OSC receiving
this call will ensure notification to the appropriate state agency of any state which is, or may
reasonably be expected to be, affected by the discharge or release. The OSC will then proceed
with the following phases as outlined in this RICP.
300.305 Preliminary Assessment and Initiation of Action
(1) In carrying out a response under this section, the OSC may:
i) Remove or arrange for the removal of a discharge, and mitigate or prevent a substantial
threat of a discharge, at any time;
ii) Direct or monitor all Federal, State and private actions to remove a discharge;
iii) Remove and, if necessary, destroy a vessel discharging, or threatening to discharge, by
whatever means are available.
(2) If the discharge results in a substantial threat to the public health or welfare of the United
States (including, but not limited to fish, shellfish, wildlife, other natural resources, and the public
and private beaches and shorelines of the United States), the OSC must direct all response efforts,
as provided in part 300.322 of the NCP. The OSC may act without regard to any other provision
of the law governing contracting procedures of employment of personnel by the federal
government in removing or arranging for the removal of such a discharge.
(3) The OSC shall ensure that the natural resource trustees are promptly notified in the event
of any discharge of oil, to the maximum extent practicable as provided in the Fish and Wildlife and
Sensitive Environments Plan (Appendix A).
-------
REGION VII INTEGRATED CONTINGENCY PLAN
page 30
The OCS and trustees shall coordinate assessments, evaluations, investigations, and planning
with respect to appropriate removal actions. The OSC shall consult with the affected trustees on
the appropriate removal action to be taken. The trustees will provide timely advice concerning
recommended actions with regard to trustee resources potentially affected. The trustees also will
assure that the OSC is informed of their activities in natural resource damage assessment that may
affect response operations. The trustees will assure, through the lead administrative trustee, that
all data from the natural resource damage assessment activities that may support more effective
operational decisions are provided in a timely manner to the OSC. Where circumstances permit,
the OSC will share the use of non-monetary response resources (i.e.,personnel and equipment)
with the trustees, provided trustees' activities do not interfere with response actions. The lead
administrative trustee facilitates effective and efficient communications between the OSC and the
other trustees during response operations and is responsible for applying to the OSC for non-
monetary federal response resources on behalf of all trustees. The lead administrative trustee is
also responsible for applying to the NPFC for funding for initiation of damage assessment for
injuries to natural resources.
300.310 Containment, Countermeasures, Control and Disposal
Region VII Response is on a case-by-case basis. Refer to NCP Section 300.310 (Appendix G)
for potential measures that may be considered.
300.315 Documentation and Cost Recovery
The EPA has developed the Removal Cost Management Manual, January 1985. It is designed
to provide comprehensive cost management procedures for use by the EPA at emergency
response actions (removals) authorized under CERCLA. The EPA has also established the
Standard Operating Safety Guides, July 1988. These guidelines replaced the Interim Standard
Operating Guides, revised September 1982. The Standard Operating Safety Guides are in
accordance and consistent with the procedures for employee health and safety contained in the
EPA's Occupational Health and 1989 OSWER Directors Safety Manual, Chapter 9, Hazardous
Substances Responses, (1440 TN12), May 5, 1984. The guides are not meant to be a
comprehensive safety manual for incident response. Rather, they provide information on health
and safety to complement professional judgment and experience, and to supplement existing
regional office safety procedures.
300.317 National Response Priorities
Refer to the NCP.
-------
REGION Vn INTEGRATED CONTINGENCY PLAN
page 31
300.320 General Pattern of Response
When the OSC receives a report of a discharge, actions normally should be taken in the
following sequence:
(1) When the reported discharge is an actual or potential major discharge, greater than 10,000
gallons, immediately notify the RRT, and the affected state, and the NRC.
(2) Investigate the report to determine pertinent information such as the threat posed to public
health or welfare or the environment, the type and quantity of polluting material, and the source
of the discharge.
(3) Officially classify the size of the discharge and determine the course of action to be
followed.
(4) Determine whether a discharger or other person is properly carrying out removal.
Removal is being done properly when:
(i) The cleanup is fully sufficient to minimize or mitigate threat(s) to public health and welfare
and the environment.
(ii) The removal efforts are in accordance with applicable regulations, including the NCP,
RICP, and any Facility Response Plans.
(5) Determine whether a state or political subdivision thereof has the capability to carry out
response actions and whether a contract or cooperative agreement has been established with the
appropriate fund administrator for this purpose.
(6) Notify the trustees of affected natural resources (See Section 300.600).

300.324 Response to Worst Case Discharge
This plan, when implemented in conduction with the NCP, is adequate to mitigate and/or
prevent a substantial threat of a Worst Case Discharge (WCD). Private industry and local
emergency responders provide the front-line defense in response to discharges, including a WCD.
Adequency to remove a WCD is currently addressed through existing contingency plans and
guidance manuals. Among these is the RICP, which outlines federal resources available to the
OSC from RRT agencies, as well as Regional response policies. The local emergency
contingency plan outlines resources available from outside of the RRT agencies and response
protocols are outlined in the RICP. This plan also lists resources which are not found in any of
the referenced plans.
The different categories of WCDs are outlined in Tables I & II (Section 300.205). In
Assessing the capacity to remove any of these, this plan's equipment section (Appendix C.2) lists
contractor from outside the four states who may be accessed for additional equipment.
In the of prevention of an oil spill, including a WCD, The Spill Prevention Control and
Countermeasures (SPEC) Program, administered through EPA, requires all non-transportation-
related facilities within EPA's jurisdiction to develop plans necessary to contain a discharge of oil
and prevent it from reaching navigable waters. This program is much broader than contingency
planning. It requires facilities to develop and design plans that include the installation of
equipment, most notably secondary containment systems, such as dikes, barriers and diversionary
flow paths so that spills into waters of the united States will be prevented.
When such design and engineering controls are not practicable for a facility, the owner must
provide a detailed contingency plan following the criteria outlined in 40 CFR Part 109. Some of
these criteria include the establishment of notification procedures, identification of resources, and
provisions for specific actions. For transportation-related onshore and offshore facilities, such as
vessels, the Department of Transportation (DOT) issues regulations concerning the safe handling
of hazardous materials. The Minerals Management Service of the Department of the Interior is
also responsible for certain offshore fixed facilities.
300.335 Funding
Local, State, tribal, or Federal agencies may get funding for removal costs through, and with
the prior approval of the Federal OSC, or by submitting a claim.
Funding will be in accordance with Technical Operating Procedures (TOPS), 1993 U.S. Coast
Guard Fund Center.

Access to the Fund: For use of the OP A Trust Fund, the Second Coast Guard District Office
in St. Louis, Missouri, must be called (314) 539-2655 (working hours) or (314) 539-3706 (24-
hour number). The District Office will issue an eight-digit case number and authorize a ceiling.
After receiving a number and ceiling from the District, contact the Coast Guard Contracting
Officer at the Atlantic Area Maintenance and Logistics Command (ATLANT MLC):

1. GUIDELINES: Due to the lack of extensive Basic Ordering Agreements (preauthorized
contracts; BOAs) in the Second Coast Guard District, the following guidelines apply to oil spill
cleanup contracting (extracted from USCG Maintenance and Logistics Standard Operations for
Pollution Response; Enclosure 10, Annex D):
a.) A BOA contract available: both EPA and CG OSCs have the authority to issue a verbal
authorization to proceed to a BOA contractor without MLC contracting office (FCP) assistance
when the funding ceiling is less than $25,000. (This restriction applies without regard to which
agency has previously developed the BOA: EPA or USCG.) All verbal- authorization-to-
proceed statements will be followed up with a hard copy document. For costs above the $25,000
ceiling or for non-BOA items, the MLC Contracting Officer (fcp.) Is the only person authorized
to negotiate the final contract price for either the EPA or the USCG OSCs, (NOTE: BOAs now
contain a non-priced line item for toxicity testing and disposal of recovered oily waste. The
OSCs, both EPA and CG, are authorized to direct the clean up contractor to initiate necessary
toxicity tests, because the analytical costs are usually below $2,500. However, MLC will have to
negotiate final disposal costs, because these normally exceed $2,500 and procedures vary on a
state by state basis.)
b.) Non-BOA contracting: EPA and USCG OSCs have different authorities in regards to Non-
BOA Contracting:
1. USCG: Only USCG OSCs are authorized to obligate up to $25,000 in an emergency
situation. After such action, the MLC contracting office must finalize the contract. In non-
emergency situations, the MLC Contracting Officer must negotiate the clean up contract prior to
any response actions.
-------
REGION Vn INTEGRATED CONTINGENCY PLAN page 34
2. EPA: Until EPA headquarters changes policy, EPA OSCs have no authority to obligate any
OSLTF monies in either an emergency or non-emergency situation without prior approval from
an MLC contracting officer. Due to this restriction, all aspects of contracting negotiations will be
handled by the MLC Contracting Office for EPA OSCs.
State Access to the fund:
Coast Guard Commandant Instruction 16465.1 defines documentation for enforcement and
cost recovery under 33 U.S.C. § 2712(d). (See Technical Operating Procedures for State Access
Under Section 1012(d)(1) of the OPA (Enclosure (1) to NPFCINST 16451.1)).
Under development: Details of requirements for documentation and cost recovery, Appendix £
OPA 90 allows the States governor to request payments of up to $250,000 from the OSLTF
for removal costs required for the immediate removal of a discharge, or the mitigation or
prevention of a substantial threat of a discharge, of oil. Requests are made directly to the FOSC
who will determine eligibility. A State, that anticipates the need to access the Fund must advise
the NPFC in writing of the specific individual who is designated to make requests. The
designation must include the person's name, address, telephone number, and title or capacity in
which employed.
Eligibility for State Access:
The FOSC will determine whether the State has the ability to respond based on the criteria
specified by the NPFC. If the State is capable, the FOSC will contact the USCG case officer to
authorize access to the fund. If the OSC denies State access to the fund, he/she will detail the
reason for denying access (i.e., which of the criteria were not met by the State).
Required Record keeping:
The State shall maintain records of expenditures of fund monies, including, but not limited to:
- Daily expenditures for each individual worker, giving the individual's name, title or position,
activity performed, time on task, salary or hourly rate, travel costs, per diem, out-of-pocket or
extraordinary expenses, and whether the individual is normally available for oil spill removal.
- Equipment purchased or rented each day, with the daily or hourly rate.
- Miscellaneous materials and expendables purchased each day.
- Daily contractor or consultant fees, including costs for their personnel and contractor-owned
or rented equipment, as well as that of any subcontractor.
-------
REGION VII INTEGRATED CONTINGENCY PLAN page 35
The State shall submit a copy of these records and a summary document, stating the total of all
expenditures made, to the NPFC within 30 days after completion of the removal actions. A copy
of these documents shall also be submitted to the Federal OSC.

SUBPART G. TRUSTEES FOR NATURAL RESOURCES
a. Designation of Natural Resource Trustees:
CERCLA and OP A require the designation of certain Federal, State, and Indian Tribal officials
to act on behalf of the public as trustees for natural resources which they manage or protect. As
trustees, these officials are authorized to assess monetary damages for resources injured, lost, or
destroyed as a result of discharge of oil or releases of hazardous substances. In addition, agencies
are authorized to seek damages from the responsible person(s), and to devise and carry out
restoration, rehabilitation and replacement. Where more than one trustee has jurisdiction over a
resource, these agencies are encouraged to coordinate and cooperate in carrying out their
activities described above.
RRT representatives from trustee agencies may also serve as contact points regarding agency
policy on trustee resources.
b. Definition of Natural Resources (CERCLA Sec. 101(16)):
Land, fish, wildlife, biota, air water, ground water, drinking water supplies, and other such
resources belonging to, managed by, held in trust by, appertaining to, or otherwise controlled by
the United States, any State or local government, or Indian tribe.
c. Notification and Consultation by OSCs:
To minimize impacts to natural resources and assist trustees in carrying out their
responsibilities, the OSCs are required to:
1. Promptly notify those Federal and state agencies designated as natural resource trustees of
actual or potential discharges or releases which are injuring or may injure resources under their
jurisdiction.
2. Consult with trustees in determining such effects.
3. Coordinate all response activities with the trustees, and
4. Make available to trustees documentation and information that can assist the trustees in
determining actual or potential natural resource injuries.
5. Consult with DOI on all incidents and response activities which may affect threatened or
endangered species, or their habitats.
The trustees, consistent with procedures specified in the Fish and Wildlife and Sensitive
Environments Plan Annex, shall provide timely advice on recommended actions concerning
trustee resources that are potentially affected by a discharge of oil or release of hazardous
substances. This may include providing assistance to the OSC in identifying/recommending
preapproved response techniques and in predesignating shoreline types and areas in RICPs.

SUBPART H PARTICIPATION BY OTHER PERSONS
300.700 Activities by Other Persons.
Participation by private parties in both planning and response is encouraged. Potentially
responsible parties (PRPs) are encouraged to undertake response actions in an adequate and
timely manner, based on the judgement of the FOSC.
Landowners are also encouraged to participate in planning and response. The landowner is a
valuable resource due to his/her local knowledge. The landowner, to the extent practical and
based on the FOSC's judgement, may be included in the planning and response activities, under
direction of the FOSC. Landowners that provide access to or are affected by a spill have
jurisdiction over their lands, and warrant special consideration by the responding agency or
unified command. In the event that an incident poses, or has the potential to pose, an imminent
threat to human health and/or the environment, it is in the best interest of the landowner to
provide access to a FOSC.
In addition, OPA 90 authorized filing of claims against the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund
(OSLTF) by other persons. To file a claim, contact the Director, NPFC, Suite 1000, 4200 Wilson
Boulevard, Arlington, VA 22203-1804, telephone (703) 235-4756.
Details on Area Committee non-governmental, ex-officio participants (e.g., industry, volunteer
groups, landowners, etc.) are under development and will be provided in Appendix D.4 of the
RICP. (underdevelopment)
Responsible Party Policy
The responsible party has primary responsibility for cleanup of a discharge or release of
hazardous substances. Section 311(c)(3)(b) of C.A., 33 U.S.C. § 1321(C)(3)(B), requires a
facility owner or operator participating in removal efforts to act in accordance with the NCP and
all other applicable response plans. Section 31 l(j)(5)(c) of the C.A. requires that these response
plans shall:
(i) be consistent with the requirements of the NCP and this RICP;
(ii) identify the qualified individual having full authority to implement removal actions , and
require immediate communications between that individual and the appropriate Federal official
and the persons providing personnel and equipment pursuant to clause (iii);
(Iii) identify, and ensure by contract or other means approved by the President the availability
of private personnel and equipment necessary to remove to the maximum extent practicable a
worst-case discharge (including a discharge resulting from fire or explosion), and to mitigate or
prevent a substantial threat of such a discharge;

(iv) describe the training, equipment testing, periodic unannounced drills, and response actions
of persons on the vessel or at the facility, to be carried out under the plan to ensure the safety of
the vessel of the facility and to mitigate or prevent the discharge , or substantial threat of a
discharge;
(v) be updated periodically; and
_(vi) be resubmitted for approval of each significant change [33 U.S.C. § 1321(j)(5)(c)].
All owners or operators of a tank vessel or facility who are required by OPA to submit a
response plan shall do so in accordance with applicable regulations. Facility and tank vessel
response plan regulations, including plan requirements, are located in 33 CFR § 154 and 40 CFR
§112, respectively. Prior t approval, facility and vessel response plans shall be reviewed for
consistency with this RICP and appropriate sub-area contingency plans.
As defined in OPA, each responsible party for a vessel of a facility from which oil is
discharged, or which poses a substantial threat of a discharge, into or upon the navigable waters
or adjoining shorelines or the Exclusive Economic Zone is liable for the removal costs and
damages specified in Section 311(f) of C.A., 33 U.S.C. § 311(F). Any removal activity
undertaken by the responsible party must be consistent the provisions of the NCP and this RICP
and the applicable response plan required by OPA. If directed by the FOSC at any time during the
removal activities, the responsible party must act accordingly.

SUBPART J CHEMICAL COUNTERMEASURES
Subpart J of the NCP, 40 C.F.R. § 300.900, addresses the use of dispersants and other
chemical counter-measures, and is incorporated herein by reference. In addition, Section 31 l(j) of
the CWA requires that each Area Committee work with State and local officials to expedite
decisions for the use of dispersants and other mitigating substances and devices.
The trustees, consistent with procedures specified in the Fish and Wildlife and Sensitive
Environments Plan Annex, shall provide timely advice on recommended actions concerning
trustee resources that are potentially affected by a discharge of oil. This may include providing
assistance to the OSC in identifying/recommending preapproved response techniques and in
predesignating shoreline types and areas in ACPs.
Region VII does not promote the use of dispersants, other oil emulsifiers, surface collecting
agents, biological additives, burning agents or miscellaneous oil spill control agents on surface
water, particularly near sensitive wetlands or water supplies (freshwater systems). Such use only
adds to the potential for serious impact of already released petroleum products. This stance is
necessary to protect fragile aquifers, sensitive ecosystems and numerous potential and existing
surface and subsurface water intakes (potable and non-potable) in Region VII.
The Region does recognize, however, that as a last resort, such agents may have some limited
applicability. The OSC and/or responsible party shall obtain approval, on a case-by-case basis
before such materials are applied, from the EPA representative to the RRT, the RRT
representative from the state(s) with jurisdiction over the surface waters threatened by the release
or discharge, and shall consult with the appropriate federal and state natural resource trustees and
land management agencies.
Dispersant use may also be applicable for circumstances involving contaminated surface or
subsurface soil systems where there is not an immediate threat to surface water or groundwater
quality, particularly in an emergency situation when, in the judgment of the OSC, the use of the
product is necessary to prevent, or substantially reduce, a hazard to human life or sensitive
ecosystem(s). An example would be a highway spill where immediate removal of the spilled
material while utilizing a dispersant may cause soil contamination. Under these circumstances, the
OSC is to inform the EPA RRT representative, the state RRT representative, and the appropriate
federal natural resource trustee(s) and land management agencies, of the use of a product as soon
as possible. Furthermore, the OSC will obtain concurrence or comments regarding its continued
use once the threat to human life or sensitive ecosystem(s) has subsided. The OSC shall make
maximum use of absorbents and other physical means to remove as much surface contamination
as possible while restricting the use of chemical agents to a site-by-site, case-by-case usage.
This section will be expanded when the Region VII RRT is made aware of dispersant
technology that may be applicable within Region VII, tested by case studies and documented by
incidents at remote, controlled sites.

1.0 PURPOSE
Oil or hazardous substances spilled into the environment may have a wide range of ecological
consequences. The severity of the consequences varies depending on the material spilled and the
ability of the ecosystem to degrade or resist the spilled product. Reducing the overall ecological
impact of a spill event and the impacts associated with response activities is the goal of this Fish and
Wildlife and Sensitive Environments Plan (FWSEP, also referred to as 'annex').
The purpose of this annex is to provide the Federal On Scene Coordinators (OSC) in U.S. EPA
Region VII (Region VII) with the information he/she needs to identify sensitive environments and
provide appropriate response strategies for limiting the overall negative environmental effects of a
spill. The annex will also aid in the development of Facility Response Plans required by 40 CFR
112.20.
2.0 SCOPE
The Region VII FWSEP develops a general overview of the sensitive areas and provides the
OSC with information to assist in the sensitive environment identification process. Deciding on
response techniques before a spill occurs is imperative to provide for a coordinated, immediate and
effective response. The FWSEP aids in the selection of the appropriate spill protection, recovery and
cleanup techniques that will help to minimize the ecological impacts of a spill.
The task of identifying all the environmentally sensitive areas in Region VII and prioritizing
them is an enormous undertaking, and will be done gradually. The FWSEP helps to identify sensitive
environments that could be impacted by spills into water bodies within the Region.
The FWSEP also establishes procedures and policy for meeting the objectives set forth in the
National Contingency Plan (NCP); and should be used to aid responders and planners in prioritizing
and evaluating response techniques for spills in various freshwater environments and shoreline
habitats. This annex aids the Area Committee in identifying special areas of concern. Those special
areas of concern will be examined in detail in the Sub-Area planning phase of the Regional Integrated
Contingency Plan (RICP) development.
3.0 OBJECTIVES
The National Contingency Plan (40 CFR §300.210(c)(4)(i)) delineates the objectives of this
annex. The objectives have been organized into four general sections:
-------
FISH AND WILDLIFE AND SENSITIVE ENVIRONMENTS PLAN APPENDIX- A.l Page 2
3.1 Identify and Establish Priorities for Resources at Risk
Natural resources, other sensitive resources, and appropriate resource trustees are identified.
Agencies to be notified and consulted in establishing incident-specific priorities for the protection of
these resources are provided. Sensitive resources identified include environmentally sensitive lands,
freshwater environments, and areas of economic significance (Section 4.0).
3.2 Determine Environmental Effects of Response and Countermeasures
The probable impacts of various response methods on general environments and habitats are
provided. Methods for determining and approving the appropriate response techniques for specific
environments and habitats, and monitoring the effectiveness of response activities are outlined
(Section 5.0).
3.3 Identify Fish and Wildlife Response Capabilities
State and Federal response capabilities and the contacts for permitting wildlife rescue and
rehabilitation are outlined. Prearranging and acquiring the appropriate response equipment, personnel
and mutual aid agreements and defining the OSHA training requirements for volunteers assigned to
fish and wildlife rescue are also discussed (Section 6.0).
3.4 Evaluate the Interface of the RICP with Non-Federal Plans
The compatibility of this annex with non-Federal response plans on issues affecting fish,
wildlife, their habitats and sensitive environments is evaluated (Section 7.0).
4.0 PRIORITIZATION OF RESOURCES AT RISK
To ensure that proper measures are taken to minimize the impacts of a spill on ecological and
economic resources, the OSC or Responsible Party must be aware of sensitive environments and/or
important resource areas. Identifying sensitive areas should be accomplished before a spill event
occurs. Environmentally sensitive areas were identified by the various Natural Resource Trustees and
other natural resource management agencies. Response strategies vary depending on the material
spilled and the spill location. It is critical that responders realize that an immediate, but improper
response, may be more damaging than waiting for the mobilization of a proper response. Critical to
choosing an appropriate response is understanding the aquatic environments and habitats, and their
sensitivities.
-------
FISH AND WILDLIFE AND SENSITIVE ENVIRONMENTS PLAN
APPENDIX- A.l
Page 3
4.1 Notification of and Consultation with Natural Resource Trustees
Prompt notification of and consultation with the natural resource trustees and other natural
resource management agencies is imperative so that their expertise can be utilized in identifying and
protecting sensitive environments.
Pursuant to Subpart G of the National Contingency Plan, the following agencies have been
designated as trustees for natural resources:
Department of the Interior
Department of Agriculture, Forest Service
Department of Defense
Department of Energy
Kansas Department of Health and Environment
Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality
Iowa Department of Natural Resources
Missouri Department of Natural Resources
Appropriate contacts within these agencies are included in Appendix D.
4.2 Consultation with Natural Resource Managers
In addition to the designated natural resource trustees, there are numerous Federal and State
agencies with land and resource management responsibilities and/or expertise which need to be
consulted regarding removal actions:
Department of the Interior
- U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)
- National Park Service
Department of Agriculture
- Forest Service
State of Iowa
- Department of Natural Resources
-------
FISH AND WILDLIFE AND SENSITIVE ENVIRONMENTS PLAN APPENDIX - A. 1 Page 4
State of Kansas
- Wildlife and Parks Department
State of Nebraska
- Game and Parks Commission
- Natural Resources Commission
- Department of Water Resources
State of Missouri
- Department of Natural Resources
- Department of Conservation
Appropriate contacts within these agencies are included in Appendix D. Figure 1: Protection
Priorities Mechanism [To aid in establishing protection priorities, a flow chart outlining the sensitive
resources and the appropriate contacts will be developed.]
4.3 Regional Description and Sensitive Areas
There are many wildlife refuges, hatcheries, wild and scenic river reaches, water fowl
production areas, wetland management areas, national and state parks, monuments, preserves,
recreational areas, primitive archaeological and historical sites, heritage program areas and other
important resources located on or near the rivers and lakes of Region VII.
Appendix A divides the Region by state and lists threatened and endangered species, critical
habitats, environmentally sensitive areas, recreation areas, public and private water intakes. The
Natural Resource Trustee or other contact is listed in Appendix D, and the phone numbers for
contacts who should be notified and consulted. The appendix can be used by responders to quickly
identify the location of sensitive areas.
4.3.1 Threatened and Endangered Species
Threatened and endangered (T&E) species inhabit or are located near, almost every major body
of water in Region VII. The USFWS provides an updated list of T&E species by county for the
Region annually.
4.3.2 Freshwater Environments
Freshwater environments can be divided into three broad categories: standing water, such as
lakes and ponds; and flowing water, which includes streams and rivers; and wetlands.
-------
FISH AND WILDLIFE AND SENSITIVE ENVIRONMENTS PLAN APPENDIX - A. 1 Page 5
Lakes and ponds
The near shore areas of standing freshwater environments usually support large quantities of
various animals and plants. Due to the water's relative stillness, spilled oil would tend to collect and
not be dispersed by wind, waves or currents. Lakes, ponds and their dependent populations are,
therefore, more vulnerable to an oil spill than freshwater environments that are constantly moving,
such as streams and rivers.
Streams and Rivers
Oil entering a stream or river will typically move downstream. Oil entering slower flowing
streams tends to remain on the surface while oil discharged to a high velocity turbulent stream
disperses throughout the entire stream water column. As a result of the turbulent agitation, oil may
become trapped in sediment along the stream bed, resulting in increased fatalities of benthic
organisms.
Stream reaches can be subdivided into three categories: low gradient; moderate gradient; and
high gradient.
• Low gradient portions of a stream are characterized by: meandering channels; moderate
currents; wide zones of associated riparian vegetation; sand bars; intermediate oil residence
time; numerous collection sites; and restricted mixing into the water column.
• Moderate gradient portions of a stream are characterized by: intermittent rapids; moderately
wide channels; associated riparian vegetation; brisk currents; sand and gravel bars; short oil
residence time; few collection sites; and significant mixing into the water column.
• High gradient portions of a stream are characterized by: numerous rapids; narrow associated
riparian vegetation; strong currents; coarse gravel sediments; short oil residence time; no
collection sites; and intense mixing into the water column.
Wetlands
Wetlands are highly sensitive to oil spills. Wetlands such as freshwater swamps, marshes and
prairie potholes act as natural hatcheries, nesting areas, food sources, and watering areas for
terrestrial and aquatic wildlife. Therefore, they are crucial areas for wildlife support.
The Region's seasonality is a major consideration in preparing and planning for a response. Ice
and snow in the winter, fluctuations of river and stream water levels, and the migratory patterns of
wildlife all need to be addressed.
-------
FISH AND WILDLIFE AND SENSITIVE ENVIRONMENTS PLAN APPENDIX - A. 1 Page 6
The classification of environmentally sensitive areas, their administering agencies and the
statutory authority include, but are not limited to:
• Critical Areas under the Clean Lakes Program [EPA, States, section 314 Clean Water Act,
(33 USC §1324)];
• Critical Habitats for Federal Designated Endangered or Threatened Species [USFWS,
Endangered Species ACT, (16 USC §1531, et seq.\ 50 CFR 424.02)];
• Designated Federal Wilderness Areas [BLM, USFS, NPS, USFWS, National Wilderness
Preservation Act (16 USC §1131, et seq.)]\
• Federal Designated or Proposed Endangered or Threatened Species [USFWS, Endangered
Species Act (16 USC §1531, etseq.; 50 CFR 424.02)]
• Federal and State Designated Wild and Scenic Rivers [BLM, USFS, NPS, USFWS, States,
National Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, (16 USC §§1271-1287)];
• National Conservation Areas [USFWS, Refuge Recreation Act, (16 USC § 460k, et seq.)]\
• National Wildlife Refuges [USFWS, National Wildlife Refuge Administration Act of 1966
(16 USC §§ 668dd-668ee) or comparable state law];
• National Parks, National Monuments, National Lakeshore Recreational Areas [NPS, Act
of August 25, 1916 (16 USC §1, etseq.)],
• Waterfowl Management Areas are designated for the protection of habitat important to
waterfowl and are designated within the states' Wildlife Management Areas;
• Other areas of concern are wetlands which generally include swamps, marshes, bogs and similar
areas. Wetlands are defined in 40 CFR 230.3 and by USFWS. Wetland Management Areas
administered by the USFWS are crucial habitats for waterfowl production.
[Relevant State statutes to be added.]
4.4 Areas of Economic Significance
Responders need to identify and protect areas of economic importance. Public drinking water
intakes, industrial water users, aquaculture sites and agricultural water users could be adversely
impacted by a discharge of oil or other hazardous materials. Water intakes in shallow lakes and rivers
are at greatest risk to an oil spill. Timely response procedures which identify water users and notify
them of an on coming spill is imperative. With prompt notification, water intakes/diversions can be
shut down or boomed off Water users other than municipal drinking water intakes are still being
identified.
-------
FISH AND WILDLIFE AND SENSITIVE ENVIRONMENTS PLAN APPENDIX- A.1 Page 7
Tourism is also of importance with numerous important fishing streams, boating and canoeing
areas, and other recreational activities associated with the Region's rivers and lakes. Identifying and
protecting these economic resources is critical to response considerations.
5.0 DETERMINING THE ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS OF RESPONSE AND
COUNTERMEASURES
Decisions on appropriate response and countermeasures should take into account the relative
impact of response methods on sensitive areas. Using the information collected on downstream
sensitive areas and spill response guidelines, informed decisions on appropriate protective measures
can be made. When deciding on a method of response, the most important consideration should be
the effectiveness of protecting habitats and removing spills of oil or other hazardous materials.
5.1 Impacts of Response Methods on Sensitive Environments and Habitats
The American Petroleum Institute and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(API/NOAA) collaborated on a study for Inland Oil Spills and finalized their findings in May of 1994.
This is the first comprehensive guidance on responding to freshwater inland spills. API/NOAA
classified specific oil response methods and their relative impacts on given environments and habitats.
Physical, chemical and biological response methods are discussed and response impacts on the
environment are classified as low impact, moderate impact, high impact and ineffective or
inapplicable.
Table 1, taken from the API/NOAA document, includes the findings for response method
impacts on water environments and shoreline habitats.
5.2 Appropriate Response for Specific Sensitive Environments and Habitats
Many of the issues dealing with appropriate response methods will be addressed in detail during
the Sub-Area Planning. Response sections of Sub-Area plans will include:
• Identifying specific areas of concern throughout the region and pre-planning for the products
most commonly spilled and the locations where spills most commonly occur;
• Response methods for habitats and sensitive areas using the API/NOAA guidance, Options for
Minimizing the Environmental Impacts of Freshwater Spill Response;
• Pre-approving appropriate removal actions including the use of chemicals and dispersants per
40 CFR Subpart J - Use of Dispersant and Other Chemicals, §300.910.
• Locating access points, staging areas and boom anchor locations.
[Note - Additional guidance on response techniques is under development]

5.3 Monitoring Response Effectiveness - Monitoring Plans
An oil spill is dynamic and cleanup efforts must change as conditions change. Over time, the
oil will spread, move downstream and weather. Climatic and geographic conditions may also change.
A continual monitoring program to ensure the maximum removal of oil and protection of the
environment throughout the duration of the cleanup is essential.
The OSC, in consultation with the natural resource trustees and the responsible party, will
monitor the effectiveness of response activities in protecting sensitive habitats and removing
discharges of oil or releases of hazardous substances. The OSC will consult with natural resource
trustees and natural resource agency managers regarding the need for and methods of an incident-
specific long-term monitoring plan. Efforts to control, contain and clean up the oil typically involve
a number of containment and recovery methods. These methods may include booms, barriers,
skimmers, sorbents, chemical agents, and manual recovery. As each of these methods has limitations
associated with them, continued monitoring is necessary to ensure a successful cleanup. Monitoring
will also be necessary to ensure that ecological impacts associated with the response actions do not
cause more harm than good. Monitoring activities may include visual observation, sampling, data
collection and evaluation, and replacement of saturated or defective material. Consultation with the
natural resource agencies is essential to minimize injury to fish and wildlife and their habitats or other
sensitive environments.
5.3.1 Monitoring Plan [Outline to be developed]
6.0 FISH AND WILDLIFE RESPONSE CAPABILITIES
In addition to consultation and coordination with natural resource trustees and other natural
resource management agencies during the pre-spill planning phase to identify and understand potential
natural resource concerns, consultation and coordination with these agencies during the response is
also essential. Fish and wildlife response capabilities include:
6.1 Technical Expertise and Assistance
During a response, natural resource trustees and managers will provide technical assistance and
expertise on potential effects of oil on fish and wildlife and their habitats or other sensitive
environments that can be found in the impacted area. They are familiar with the area or habitats
affected and are able to provide recommendations on the best locations for staging areas, access
points, or anchor locations. They will recommend specific habitats where protective measures should
be taken and provide advice on response actions to be taken. They can assist in the development of
a monitoring plan and subsequent collection of data. Finally, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and
the State wildlife agency will direct or provide oversight for the protection, rescue, and rehabilitation
of fisheries and wildlife.
6.2 Wildlife Protection
-------
FISH AND WILDLIFE AND SENSITIVE ENVIRONMENTS PLAN APPENDIX - A. 1 Page 10
When an oil spill occurs, natural resource trustees or managers will provide timely advice on
the necessary measures to protect wildlife from exposure to oil and the priority and timing of such
measures. Protective measures may include all or a combination of the following:
• prevent the oil from reaching areas where migratory birds and other wildlife are located by
either containing or recovering the oil, or
• deterbirds or other wildlife from entering areas already affected by oil by using wildlife hazing
devices or methods.
Wildlife hazing devices or methods are generally grouped into visual or auditory, or a
combination of both. The types of equipment used and where they can be obtained can be found in
Attachment 1. In an emergency, the USFWS, the State wildlife agency, or a local animal damage
control agent may be able to locate and provide this equipment.
6.3 Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation
If exposure of birds and other wildlife to oil cannot be prevented, an immediate decision will
need to be made whether to capture and rehabilitate oiled birds and other wildlife. The Department
of the Interior (DOI) has statutory responsibilities for the protection of migratory birds and Federally-
listed threatened and endangered species, which are carried out by the USFWS. If animals other than
migratory birds or Federally-listed threatened or endangered species are found injured, the responsible
agency would typically be the State wildlife agency. The decision to rescue and rehabilitate oiled
wildlife must be made in consultation with the applicable State and Federal natural resource agencies
as State and Federal permits are required by law.
State and Federal permits are required to collect, possess, treat and band migratory birds and
threatened and endangered species. The laws and regulations that require such permits are as
follows:
Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, as amended, 16 U.S.C. 703 et seq - No person shall
take, possess, import, export, transport, sell, purchase or barter, any migratory bird, or the parts,
nests, or eggs of such bird except as permitted under the terms of a valid permit issued by U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service pursuant to the provisions of 50 CFR 21 and 50 CFR 13. Enforcement authority
and penalties for violations are provided.
Bald Eagle Protection Act of 1940, as amended, 16 U.S.C. 668 et seq - No person shall
take, possess, or transport any bald eagle or any golden eagle, or the parts, nests, or eggs of such
birds except as permitted under the terms of a valid permit issued by USFWS pursuant to 50 CFR
22 and 50 CFR 13. Enforcement authority and penalties for violations are provided.
-------
FISH AND WILDLIFE AND SENSITIVE ENVIRONMENTS PLAN
APPENDIX - A. 1
Page 11
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended, 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq - It is unlawful for any
person to commit, attempt to commit, solicit another to commit, or cause to be committed the import
or export, take, possession, sale or offer for sale any endangered species except as permitted under
the terms of a valid permit issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service pursuant to 50 CFR 17.
Enforcement authority and penalties for violations are provided.
[Relevant State laws are to be added].
If rescue and rehabilitation efforts are deemed worthwhile, one Federal permit is required for
oiled migratory birds and one Federal permit is required for oiled threatened and endangered species.
Each of these permits may encompass more than one species. If a bird is considered a migratory bird,
but is also a threatened or endangered species, it should be listed under the threatened and
endangered species permit.
USFWS personnel will handle all federal permit activities through the field office
responsible for the area where the spill occurs. State permits must be handled through the
applicable state agency office. The offices that should be contacted to initiate the permitting
peocess are:

All rescue and rehabilitation efforts will be directed by the USFWS and the State wildlife
agency, including the notification of a qualified wildlife rehabilitation organization and
obtaining the necessary permits. The following criteria will be used by the USFWS and State
wildlife agencies in selecting a rehabilitator:
Guidelines for Selection of Wildlife Rehabilitator
• Wildlife rehabilitator must have, or be able to obtain, the appropriate Federal and State permits
and licenses to collect, possess, treat, and band migratory birds or threatened and endangered
• Wildlife rehabilitator must demonstrate high standards of practice, treatment, conduct, and
ethics as reflected by organization such as the National Wildlife Rehabilitator Association, the
American Veterinarian Association and the American Society for Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals.
• Wildlife rehabilitator must have adequate liability insurance to protect both staff and volunteers.
• Wildlife rehabilitator should have a proven record and experience in rescue and rehabilitation
of oiled wildlife.
species.
-------
FISH AND WILDLIFE AND SENSITIVE ENVIRONMENTS PLAN APPENDIX - A. 1 Page 13
• Wildlife rehabilitate* must comply with all applicable Federal (Occupational Safety and Health
Administration, etc.) and state safety regulations to protect staff and volunteers. Two
organizations, International Bird Rescue in Berkeley, California, and Tri-State Bird Rescue and
Research, Inc. in Newark, Delaware, have become recognized experts in oiled bird
rehabilitation:
Tri-State Bird Rescue and Research, Inc.
110 Possum Hollow Road
Newark, Delaware 19711
International Bird Rescue Research Center
699 Potter Street
Berkeley, California 94710
Both organizations have extensive experience in bird rescue and rehabilitation and have worked
both with government and industry. In addition, other more local, less well known bird rehabilitation
organizations may also have such expertise in this area. Veterinarians and researchers from USFWS,
other federal agencies, and state wildlife agencies and universities may also provide assistance and
expertise during rehabilitation efforts.
All rescue and rehabilitation efforts will be directed by the USFWS and the State wildlife
agency, including the notification of a qualified wildlife rehabilitation organization and
obtaining the necessary permits.
Health and Safety Concerns in Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation
Two Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations cover the majority
of occupational health and safety issues encountered during wildlife rescue and rehabilitation.
The Hazardous Wastes Operations and Emergency Response (29 CFR 1910.120) regulates
organizations or individuals directly involved in on-site (hot-zone) retrieval or clean-up efforts. In
addition, each state may have its own worker safety requirements; coordination with the appropriate
state agency should be conducted to ensure these requirements are also met.
The Hazard Communication Standard (29 CFR 1910.1200), also known as "Right to Know Law"
or "HazCom" requires that all chemicals in the work place be fully evaluated for possible physical or
health hazards and that all information relating to these hazards be made available to all workers.
HazCom applies to rehabilitation organizations because petroleum is considered a human health
hazard.

FISH AND WILDLIFE AND SENSITIVE ENVIRONMENTS PLAN APPENDIX - A. 1
Page 14
Rehabilitation organizations are legally required to educate and protect all employees, including
volunteers. Individuals working with oiled animals need information of all potential hazards
associated with the handling of these animals. The following minimum requirements should be
applied to wildlife rescue and rehabilitation personnel, including volunteers:
• Wildlife rescue and rehabilitation management personnel - this is the core team of certified
rehabilitators who will direct operations. These people must have 24 hours of classroom
training in hazardous waste operations and emergency response.
• Rehabilitation facility volunteers - these volunteers work under the direction of the facility
management team and are not allowed on-scene, nor in the hot-zone, unless additional training
is provided (see Retrieval volunteers).- Volunteers working in this category must receive four
hours of training in the Hazard Communication Program before they can begin work.
• Retrieval volunteers - these volunteers work under the direction of the search and rescue
management team and are allowed on-scene, but not in the hot zone. Volunteers working in
this category must receive between 4-8 hours of training in the Hazard Communication
Program before they can begin work.
• Any hot-zone retrieval of animals would need to be performed by someone with 40 hours of
classroom safety training for hazardous waste workers that meets OSHA guidelines, including
eight hour annual refresher training.
The OSC, in consultation with OSHA's representative to the Regional Response Team,
has responsibility for making assessments when training requirements are in question.
(The NCP 300.210 (c) II (H) states that the annex will identify and secure the means of
providing, if needed, the minimum required OSHA and EPA training for volunteers, including those
who assist with injured wildlife.)
A Hazard Communication Program should contain all of the following elements:
the nature of the oil and how its composition may change with the effect of weathering,
the nature of other hazardous chemicals that may be contacted during rehabilitation efforts,
routes of entry of these chemicals
signs and symptoms of chemical exposure
protective measures, including work practices and personal protective equipment (PPE, with
training on how to properly use)
environmental monitoring equipment
importance of personal hygiene
how to read a Material Safety Data Sheet and know what it means
-------
FISH AND WILDLIFE AND SENSITIVE ENVIRONMENTS PLAN APPENDIX - A. 1 Page 15
first aid protocols and identification of medically trained personnel and first aid stations
storage and disposal of hazardous waste, including medical waste and PPE
training records of written curriculum, date and hours of instruction, instructor and student
names
Besides chemical hazards, other hazards such as mechanical, physical and biological hazards are
also present during rescue and rehabilitation activities. Workers must also be trained on these hazards
as well. In addition to the above, training elements may include the following:
Facility concerns:
behavior of oiled birds
proper animal restraint
personal protective equipment and clothing to protect from bloodborne pathogens and zoonoses
proper heavy lifting techniques
safe working practices, e.g. no slippery or messy floors
electrical safety
Field concerns (in addition to the above):
climatic conditions (e.g. cold, heat)
terrain
proper retrieval methods
vehicle safety (4-WD vehicle, boat)
water hazards
response operations hazards
Other safety concerns may occur at either the spill site or the rehabilitation facility. These
concerns should be addressed on a site-specific basis.
6 .4 Other Roles and Responsibilities of Natural Resource Trustees
In the event of a spill, it may be necessary for natural resource trustees and managers to initiate
an assessment of damage to the environment as a result of the spill. The Natural Resource Damage
Assessment (NRDA) is the process by which trustees collect, compile and evaluate data, information
and statistics to determine the extent of injury to natural resources. This information is used to assess
damages, the dollar amount necessary to restore injured natural resources and compensate for lost
use as a result of the injury, and then to seek recovery of those damages from the responsible party.
{£>
-------
FISH AND WILDLIFE AND SENSITIVE ENVIRONMENTS PLAN
APPENDIX - A.l
Page 16
At the same time removal actions undertaken to contain and remove oil and wildlife rescue and
rehabilitation activities are occurring, the natural resource trustees may initiate NRDA activities.
These activities are usually initiated to acquire data and materials that are likely to be lost if not
collected during or immediately after a spill has occurred. Such field sampling and data collection
is typically limited to:
Samples necessary to preserve perishable materials likely to have been affected or contain
evidence of the oil. These samples will generally be biological material that is either dead or
has been visible injured by the oil.
Samples of other ephemeral conditions or materials, such as surface water, sediments, soil, or
the oil itself, which are necessary for identification and measurement of concentrations. These
samples would otherwise be lost because of such factors as dilution, movement, decomposition,
or leaching if not taken immediately.
Counts of dead or visibly injured organisms, which if delayed may not be possible because of
factors such as decomposition, scavengers, sinking, or water movement.
In certain circumstances, a natural resource trustee may undertake emergency restoration
efforts consistent with its existing authority to prevent or reduce the immediate migration of oil onto
or into a trust resource. Emergency restoration would be undertaken by the trustee only if the
responsible party does not do it or the EPA is precluded under statutory authority from conducting
response and removal actions rapidly enough to protect natural resources.
Because initiation of natural resource damage assessment activities may occur concurrently with
removal actions as part of the response, all sampling and field work conducted by the natural resource
trustees must be coordinated with the lead response agency so as to minimize any interference with
response operations or duplication of sampling and data collection efforts. Prior OSC approval is
required for any work conducted in support of removal activities and before any associated costs will
be reimbursed by the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund. Other activities performed as part of initiation
of damage assessments are reimbursable by the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund as long as these activities
are approved in advance by the Fund Center.
7.0 EVALUATING THE INTERFACE OF THE RICP WITH NON-FEDERAL PLANS
The final rule on Oil Pollution Prevention for Non-Transportation-Related Onshore Facilities,
40 CFR Part 112, requires facilities with a total oil storage capacity greater than or equal to one
million gallons to submit response plans if located at a distance such that a discharge of oil could
cause injury (as defined at 40 CFR 112.2) to fish, wildlife, sensitive environments and public water
intakes.
-------
FISH AND WILDLIFE AND SENSITIVE ENVIRONMENTS PLAN APPENDIX - A. 1
Page 17
Facility owners or operators must determine the distance at which an oil spill could cause injury
to fish and wildlife and sensitive environments and have a plan for mitigating a discharge's adverse
effect. The plan must be consistent with the requirements of the NCP and this RICP Annex.
EPA will review and approve Facility Response Plans for compatibility with this Annex;
pipeline plans in Region VII will be reviewed and approved by RSPA. Participation by facilities in
the Area and Subarea Committees is encouraged. Joint exercises will be conducted to test facility
plans and their interface with this Annex.

2. a. (cont'd) Coast Guard issued Navigation and Inspection
Circulars (NVICs) Nos. 7-92 and 8-92 (references (a) and
(b)). These NVICs provide guidance on the preparation
and submission of response plans.
b. Under OPA 90, an owner or operator who is required to
submit a response plan must, among other things,
"identify, and ensure by contract or other means approved
by the President the availability of, private personnel
and equipment necessary to remove to the maximum extent
practicable a worst case discharge (including a discharge
resulting from fire or explosion), and to mitigate or
- <- prevent a substantial threat of such a discharge." The
magnitude of the investment in specialized equipment for
recovering oil from the water and shorelines, temporarily
storing it, and transporting it for disposal, and for
training sufficient numbers of personnel to remove such a
discharge, in all foreseeable locations and operating
environments, is unprecedented for marine environmental
response preparation. The system for assembling,
mobilizing, and controlling these resources is extremely
complex. To meet the statutory requirements, each
response plen must identify the means for accomplishing
these massive tasks.
3. DISCUSSION.
a. Under the guidelines contained in references (a) and (b),
an owner or operator would identify private personnel and
equipment sufficient to remove three levels of spills: an
"average most probable discharge" (AMPD), a "maximum most
probable discharge" (MMPD), and a "worst case discharge"
(WCD). The owner or operator may demonstrate capability
to remove those volumes of discharged oil by listing the
available resources and their capacity to contain,
remove, and store the recovered volumes. These resources
include the various types of booms to contain oil in
different environments and water depths and to protect
shorelines; the types, capacities, and seakeeping
capabilities of skimming and vacuum systems to recover
oil from the water and shorelines; and sufficient storage
capacity to temporarily store recovered oil and
contaminated debris for transportation and disposal. To
determine that these resources are not only available but
that they may be relied upon to operate effectively in
the planned spill environment, prudence may dictate that
the owner or operator inspect the oil spill removal
organization's facility, audit the personnel and training
records, inventory and inspect equipment, audit
maintenance records, and establish to his or her
satisfaction that the resources are available and
2

3. a. (cont'd) dependable. Given that no one OSRO is likely
to own or otherwise control sufficient resources to meet
all of a vessel or facility owner's or operator's
responsibilities, and that combinations of different
removal organizations and capabilities may be needed, the
owner's or operator's obligations are daunting.
b. Because, under OPA 90, vessel and facility owners or
operators are required to ensure by contract or other
approved means sufficient response capacity to meet their
planning responsibilities, OSROs are presented with both
a business opportunity and a problem. To acquire
contracts with vessel or facility owners or operators in
an open market, an OSRO must sell its capabilities and
clearly demonstrate that it can meet its prospective
customer's response planning needs in the bright light of
competition. Advertising its capabilities to many
prospective customers may subject the OSRO to repeated
inspections by owner's or operator's representatives who
may view the resources and capabilities differently.
c. OPA 90 gives the Coast Guard the responsibility to review
and approve^response plans. The Coast Guard must review
all of the listed resources and response capabilities
before the response plan can be finally approved. The
Coast Guard may also verify that the resources are
available and capable of meeting planning requirements,
as represented by the owner or operator. This could
involve yet another inspection of the OSRO's facility,
personnel and maintenance records, equipment inventory,
and performance operability checks. Without a simpler
means of identifying adequate and available private
response resources, preparation and review of response
plans could be extremely inefficient, labor-intensive,
and time-consuming for all parties - the owner or
operator, the OSRO, and the Coast Guard.
d. National guidelines for classifying OSROs based on
standard oil spill volumes would greatly facilitate the
selection of OSROs by plan preparers. Such guidelines
• will also facilitate the Coast Guard's review of
individually submitted response plans and assist OSROs in
evaluating their own capabilities to meet the needs of
plan preparers and the Coast Guard. With standard
classifications, plan preparers could better match their
planning requirements to an OSRO's estimated capacity to
recover oil. The Coast Guard could more quickly
determine whether the removal capacity of the classified
OSRO, or combination of OSROs, identified by the plan

3. d. (cont'd) preparer was sufficient to meet the owner's or
operator's planning requirements. OSROs could use these
guidelines to present their capabilities and removal
capacities more convincingly, facilitating the
contracting process with plan preparers.
e. Enclosure (1) to this NVIC provides voluntary guidelines
by which OSROs may be classified based on standard oil
spill removal capacities.
4. IMPLEMENTATION.
- ar. Vessel and facility owners or operators who are required
to prepare and submit response plans to the Coast Guard
may use the provisions of the enclosed guidance to
identify OSROs with the capacity to meet their individual
planning volume requirements as described in references
(a) and (b). Compliance with this NVIC is voluntary and
owners or operators need not limit their response
resources to OSROs that have been classified by the Coast
- Guard. Owners or operators remain responsible for
determining that OSROs identified in their plan are
capable of mfeeting the various response time requirements
specified in references (a) and (b). The owner or
operator that submits a response plan and identifies
OSROs classified in accordance with this guidance should
indicate that fact in a letter accompanying the plan
submission. Upon notification by the OSRO or the Coast
Guard of a change in the OSRO's classification, the owner
or operator should reevaluate his or her response plan
and reaffirm its validity as provided in references (a)
and (b).
b. Oil spill removal organizations wishing to participate in
the classification process should follow the procedures
described in enclosure (1). Classified OSROs whose
classification status changes for any reason should
notify owners or operators with whom they have contracted
to provide response resources that the owner's or
operators's ability to meet his or her planning
requirements may be affected.
c. The Coast Guard will classify OSROs, in accordance with
the process described in enclosure (1), and will make
public a list of classified OSROs and any changes to
existing classifications. The Coast Guard will accept
evidence of such classification in lieu of a complete
list of removal equipment, as provided for in references
(a) and (b), as evidence that the owner or operator has
identified sufficient capacity to meet his or her
planning requirements.

GUIDELINES FOR CLASSIFYING OIL SPILL REMOVAL ORGANIZATIONS (OSRO)
Section A. DEFINITIONS. The definitions in this section are
• provided to assist the reader in understanding the
provisions of this NVIC. They are consistent with
those included in references (a) and (b).
1. Containment boom means boom which is intended to contain oil
for recovery by mechanical means. References (a) and (b)
(appendix A, table 1) display recommended boom properties for
effective use in various operating environments (i.e., river,
harbor, Great Lakes, offshore, open ocean, etc.).
2. Great Lakes means Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, and
.. ^Ontario; their connecting and tributary waters; the Saint
Lawrence River as far as Saint Regis; and adjacent port
areas.
3. Inland area means the area shoreward of the boundary lines
defined in 46 CFR part 7, except that in the Gulf of Mexico,
it means the area shoreward of the lines of demarcation
(COLREG lines) as defined in §§ 80.740 - 80.850 of 33 CFR
chapter I. The inland area does not include the Great Lakes
or rivers and canals areas.
4. Nearshore area means the area extending seaward 12 miles from
the boundary lines defined in 46 CFR part 7, except that in
the Gulf of Mexico it means the area extending seaward 12
miles from the line of demarcation (COLREG lines) as defined
in §§ 80.740 - 80-850 of 33 CFR chapter I.
5. Non-persistent or Group I oil means a petroleum-based oil
that, at the time of shipment, consists of hydrocarbon
fractions--
(a) At least 50% of which by volume, distill at a
temperature of 340 degrees C (645 degrees F); and
(b) At least 95% of which by volume, distill at a
temperature of 370 degrees C (700 degrees F).
6. Ocean means the open ocean, offshore area, and nearshore area
as defined in this document.
7. Offshore area means the area up to 38 nautical miles seaward
of the outer boundary of the nearshore area.
3
-------
Enclosure (1) to NVICj^ £ — y •£
8. Oil Spill Removal Organization (OSRO) means any person or
persons who own or otherwise control oil spill removal
resources that are designed for, or are capable of, removing
oil from the water or shoreline. Control of such resources
through means other than ownership may include leasing or
subcontracting of equipment or, in the case of trained
personnel, by having contracts, evidence of employment, or
consulting agreements. OSROs provide response equipment and
services, individually or in combination with subcontractors
or associated contractors, under contract or other means
approved by the President, directly to an owner or operator
of a tank vessel or facility required to have a response plan
under 33 U.S.C. 1321(j)(5). OSROs must be able to mobilize
and deploy equipment or trained personnel and remove, store,
and transfer recovered oil. Persons such as sales and
" tnarketing organizations (e.g., distributorships and
manufacturer's representatives) that warehouse or store
equipment for sale are not OSROs.
9. Open ocean means the area from 38 nautical miles seaward of
the outer boundary of the nearshore area, to the seaward
boundary of the EEZ.
10. Persistent oil means a petroleum-based oil that does not
meet the distillation criteria for a non-persistent oil.
For the purposes of this document, persistent oils are
further classified based on specific gravity as follows:
(a) Group II - specific gravity less than .85. (e.g.
gasoline, kerosene, Nigerian Light Crude)
(b) Group III - specific gravity between .85 and less than
.95. (e.g. Arabian and Kuwait Crude)
(c) Group IV - specific gravity .95 to and including 1.0.
(e.g. Bunker C, #6 Fuel Oil)
(d) Group V - specific gravity greater than 1.0. (e.g. Carbon
Black)
11. Protective boom means boom that is used for deflecting
spilled oil. References (a) and (b) (appendix A, table 1)
display recommended boom properties for various operating
environments (i.e. river, harbor, Great Lakes, offshore,
open ocean, etc.).
12. Rivers and canals means bodies of water, including the
Intracoastal Waterways and other waterways artificially
created for navigation, confined within the inland area that
have a project depth of 12 feet or less.
13. Recovery capacity means skimmer or vacuum capacity as
calculated in references (a) and (b).
4
-------
14. Temporary storage capacity means, for the purposes of
classification, sufficient storage capacity to securely
contain two days of planned recovery. Temporary storage
capacity may include inflatable bladders, rubber barges,
certificated barge capacity, or prearranged shore-based
storage capacity. It does not include vessels or barges of
opportunity or shore-based storage for which no
prearrangements have been made.
Section B. CLASSIFICATION PROCESS. Classification is a process
for identifying oil spill removal organizations on
the basis of their ownership or control of
specialized equipment and trained personnel to remove
oil from the environment. There are five classes of
OSROs (Class A, B, C, D, and E) for each of four
marine environments. Classification of an OSRO by
the Coast Guard will normally be for a period of 3
years. Review for reclassification may be initiated
by either the Coast Guard or the OSRO.
Classification does not predict operational
performance or relieve an owner or operator from the
requirement to consider response times in the
planning process, nor from the responsibility to
effectively and promptly remove spilled oil from the
environment.
1. APPLICATION FOR"CLASSIFICATION.
a. Any OSRO may apply for classification. The Coast Guard
will classify applicants on the basis of their estimated
capacity to remove oil from the marine environment, as
calculated from the information provided in the
application and enclosure (1) to references (a) and (b).
b. An OSRO seeking classification should supply information
about its equipment and personnel inventory in a format
similar to that provided in appendix (A) of this NVIC.
Applicants should provide information in a manner which
is clear, concise, and easily read. OSROs may be
classified to the levels identified in Section 3 of this
enclosure for the environment (s) in which they intend to
operate.
c. The applicant should identify the latitude and longitude
of the locations from which oil spill response resources
will be mobilized. If resources are available from more
than one location, all resources within a twenty five-
mile radius may be counted as if available from a single
location. The OSRO should list similarly any resources
outside the 25-mile radius. Latitude and longitude will
be used to assess the mobilization radius within which
the OSRO can meet the response guidelines established in
references (a) and (b).
5
-------
Enclosure (1) to NVIC i iw ~/C
d. An applicant shall attest that the factual information
provided regarding the applicant's response equipment and
personnel is correct to the best of the applicant's
knowledge and belief. The applicant shall agree to be
visited by Coast Guard personnel for the purpose of
verifying the information contained in the application.
e. The applicant should list separately any discharge
removal equipment purchased or contracted for, but not
yet delivered when the application is filed. An
applicant may be asked to provide written proof of the
contracted delivery date of the equipment. Equipment
which is contracted for delivery within six months of the
date of application will be included toward a provisional
classification but listed separately until delivery is
confirmed.
f. A classified OSRO should notify the Captain of the Port
(COTP) of the zone in which the OSRO's resources are
located of significant changes in response capability
t.hat might effect the classification and the OSRO's
ability to respond to a spill as planned. A
"significant" change is a reduction in the OSRO's
classified capacity by a factor of 10% for a period of 48
hours or longer.
g. An OSRO may submit an application to the following
address:
National Strike Force Coordination Center (NSFCC) (Attn:
OSRO CLASSIFICATION REVIEW)
1461 U.S. 17 North
Elizabeth City,
North Carolina 27909.
The NSFCC can be reached by telephone at (919) 331-6000
or by fascimile at (919) 331-6012.
2. REVIEW AND CLASSIFICATION PROCESS.
a. An applicant's resources will be assessed on the basis of
the information provided, the process described in this
guidance, and the information provided in references (a)
and (b) (appendix A to enclosure (1)). Both references
identify the formulae for calculating effective daily
recovery capacity, operating parameters for skimmers, and
minimum guidelines for booms. When assigning OSROs to
one or more response classes, the quantity of equipment,
its designed purpose, the planning capacity of the
resources identified in the application, and the number
of trained response personnel will be considered.
Incomplete applications will be returned to the applicant
immediately with an explanation of the deficiency.

-------
Enclosure (1) to NVIC — y ^
b. After completing the review of the information provided
by the applicant, the Coast Guard will classify the OSRO
and issue an interim letter of classification identifying
the.quantity and calculated capacity of the critical
resources. When the Coast Guard has conducted a
familiarization visit it will issue a final letter of
classification that is valid for a period of three years
from the date of issuance.
3. INSPECTION AND VERIFICATION.
a. The Coast Guard reserves the right to conduct inspection
visits to verify that the OSROs inventory of equipment
and trained personnel accurately reflects the information
provided in the application. The inspection team may
include members of the National Strike Force, the local
Marine Safety Office (MSO), and other Coast Guard units.
The visit will also allow U.S. Coast Guard personnel to
become acquainted with the organizations with which they
will work in the event of a spill.
b. The Coast Guard may inspect the OSRO's equipment and
personnel inventory and audit appropriate records. Any
such audit will be a quality assurance check c>f the
equipment and trained personnel and should not be
construed tc£ be a guarantee of performance. If the OSROs
inventory of equipment and personnel does not accurately
reflect the information provided in the application, the
Coast Guard will withdraw the classifiction letter and
reclassify the OSRO to a level which appropriately
reflects'its inventory of resources.
The OSRO should ensure that its equipment is in good
operating condition, the preventive maintenance is
performed as recommended by the manufacturer, that
equipment is transportable, and that there is
compatibility between system components. Equipment that
is inoperable, not mobile or transportable, or that has
incompatible system components may not be counted toward
overall removal capacity for the purposes of
classification. The verification team may consider,
among other conditions, the following:
(1) Booms:
(a) Overall condition
(b) Evidence of ownership, lease, or subcontract
(c) Type and quantity
(d) Compatibility of connectors
(e) Number and adequacy of anchors

(c) Type and throughput capacity
(d) Compatibility of components (hoses, suction and
skimmer head, couplings, connectors, etc. )
(e) Operability and maintenance
(f) Condition of the prime mover
(3) Temporary Storage Devices:
(a) Evidence of ownership, lease, or subcontract
(b) Capacity (twice daily recovery capacity)
(c) Inspected and maintained in accordance with
manufacturer's recommendations
(d) Contracted barges with current certificates
(e) Prearranged shore-based storage capacity
(4) Boats:
(a) Sufficient numbers of trailers, outboard motors
and USCG-required safety equipment (life
jackets, lights, etc.)
(b) Types and number of boats appropriate to the
environment of the classification
(5) Records:
(a) Equipment clearly marked for identification
(b) Records supporting claims of ownership, lease,
or subcontract
(c) Complete maintenance records reflecting
condition of the equipment
(6) Other:
(a) Command, control, and communications
equipment - should be available and adequate to
the planned response

-------
(b) Dispersants and dispersant application
equipment - should be maintained, ready for
use, and adequate to the planned task
(c) Oil-water separators considered for optimizing
storage capacity
(d) Other major equipment to facilitate removal of
- oil from the water or shorelines
(e) Tracking equipment and/or arrangements for
helicopter aviation should be noted
(f) Lighting equipment, generators, etc. should be
available (or arranged for) if the OSRO claims
that it can work in darkness
Prior to the Coast Guard's visit, the OSRO should check
personnel records and subcontracting or consulting
agreements to verify the number and availability of
trained personnel listed in the application-. Minimum
training should include that required by 29 CFR 1910.120
(HAZWOPER). The numbers of personnel may vary from one
OSRO to another, depending upon unique needs,
classification, and the requirements of major equipment.
However, th§ OSRO may use the following schedule to
estimate the number of trained personnel needed to
accomplish certain response tasks:
(1) Boats: 2 people per boat
(2) Boom deployment: 2-5 people per 1000' of boom,
depending upon overall height, weather, current,
etc. (probably 2 in harbor environments and 5 in
open ocean or high current)
(3) Skimmers: 1-3 people per skimmer, depending on
configuration and operating requirements
(4) Storage devices: At least 1 person per storage
device
The OSRO should be prepared to demonstrate the readiness
of its personnel resources, including the following:
(1) Records should verify that training for oil spill
response is in accordance with the requirements of
29 CFR 1910.120 (HAZWOPER).
(2) The number of trained personnel employed,
subcontracted, or gained through consulting
agreements should equal the resources identified by
the OSRO in the application.
-------
Enclosure (1) to NVICJ_ y
(3) There should be a demonstrated capability to train
sufficient numbers of "surge" personnel in the time
allowed by the response classification for which the
. OSRO has applied.

Subpart A-lntroduction
§ 300.1 Purpose and objectives.
The purpose of the National Oil
and Hazardous Substances Pollution
Contingency Plan (NCP) is to
provide the organizational structure
and procedures for preparing for and
responding to discharges of oil and
releases of hazardous substances,
pollutants, and contaminants.
§ 300.2 Authority and
applicability.
The NCP is required by section
105 of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act of
1980, 42 U.S.C. 9605, as amended
by the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act of 1986
(SARA), Pub. L. 99-499,
(hereinafter CERCLA), and by
section 311 (d) of the Clean Water
Act (CWA), 33 U.S.C. 1321(d), as
amended by the Oil Pollution Act of
1990 (OPA), Pub. L. 101-380. In
Executive Order (E.O.) 12777 (56
FR 54757, October 22, 1991), the
President delegated to the
Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) the responsibility for the
amendment of the NCP.
Amendments to the NCP are
coordinated with members of the
National Response Team (NRT)
prior to publication for notice and
comment. This includes coordination
with the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) and
the Nuclear Regulatory Commission
in order to avoid inconsistent or
duplicative requirements in the
emergency planning responsibilities
of those agencies. The NCP is
applicable to response actions taken
pursuant to the authorities under
CERCLA and section 311 of the
CWA, as amended.
§ 300.3 Scope.
(a) The NCP applies to and is in
effect for:
(1) Discharges of oil into or on the
navigable waters of the United
States, on the adjoining shorelines,
the waters of the contiguous zone,
into waters of the exclusive economic
zone, or that may affect natural
resources belonging to, appertaining
to, or under the exclusive
management authority of the United
States (See sections 311 (c)( 1) and
502(7) of the CWA).
(2) Releases into the environment
of hazardous substances, and
pollutants or contaminants which
may present an imminent and
substantial danger to public health or
welfare of the United States.
(b) The NCP provides for efficient,
coordinated, and effective response to
discharges of oil and releases of
hazardous substances, pollutants, and
contaminants in accordance with the
authorities of CERCLA and the
CWA. It provides for:
(1) The national response
organization that may be activated in
response actions. It specifies
responsibilities among the federal,
state, and local governments and
describes resources that are available
for response.
(2) The establishment of
requirements for federal, regional,
and area contingency plans. It also
summarizes state and local
emergency planning requirements
under SARA Title III.
(3) Procedures for undertaking
removal actions pursuant to section
311 of the CWA.
(4) Procedures for undertaking
response actions pursuant to
CERCLA.
(5) Procedures for involving slate
governments in the initiation,
development, selection, and
implementation of response actions,
pursuant to CERCLA.
(6) Listing of federal trustees for
natural resources for purposes of
CERCLA and the CWA.
(7) Procedures for the participation
of other persons in response actions.
(8) Procedures for compiling and
making available an administrative
record for response actions.
(9) National procedures for the use
of dispersants and other chemicals in
removals under the CWA and
response actions under CERCLA.
(c) In implementing the NCP,
consideration shall be given to
international assistance plans and
agreements, security regulations and
responsibilities based on
international agreements, federal
statutes, and executive orders.
Actions taken pursuant to the
provisions of any applicable
international joint contingency plans
shall be consistent with the NCP, to
the greatest extent possible. The
Department of State shall be
consulted, as appropriate, prior to
taking any action which may affect its
activities.
(d) Additionally, the NCP applies
to and is in effect when the Federal
Response Plan and some or all its
Emergency Support Functions
(ESFs) are activated.

than federal requirements may be
applicable.
Area Committee (AC) as provided
for by CWA sections 311 (a)(l 8) and
(j)(4), means the entity appointed by
the President consisting of members
from qualified personnel of federal,
state, and local agencies with
responsibilities that include
preparing an area contingency plan
for an area designated by the

311 (a)( 19) and (j)(4), means the plan
prepared by an Area Committee that
is developed to be implemented in
conjunction with the NCP and RCP,
in part to address removal of a worst
case discharge and to mitigate or
prevent a substantial threat of such a
discharge from a vessel, offshore
facility, or onshore facility operating
in or near an area designated by the
President.
Bioremediation agents means
microbiological cultures, enzyme
additives, or nutrient additives that
are deliberately introduced into an oil

site planning and tracking functions.
Sites that EPA decides do not
warrant moving further in the site
evaluation process are given a "No
Further Response Action Planned"
(NFRAP) designation. This means
that no additional federal steps under
CERCLA will be taken at the site
unless future information so warrants.
Sites given a NFRAP designation are
placed in a separate archival data
base. Inclusion of a specific site or
area in the CERCLIS data base does
not represent a determination of any
party's liability, nor does it represent
a finding that any response action is
necessary.

Subpart B-Responsibility and
Organization for Response
§300.100 Duties of President
delegated to federal agencies.
In Executive Orders 12580 and
12777, the President delegated
certain functions and responsibilities
vested in him by the CWA,
CERCLA, and the OPA.
§ 300.105 General organization
concepts.
(a) Federal agencies should:
(1) Plan for emergencies and
develop procedures for addressing oil
discharges and releases of hazardous
substances, pollutants, or
contaminants;
(2) Coordinate their planning,
preparedness, and response activities
with one another;
(3) Coordinate their planning,
preparedness, and response activities
with aftected states, local
governments, and private entities;
and
(4) Make available those facilities
or resources that may be useful in a
response situation, consistent with
agency authorities and capabilities.
(b) Three fundamental kinds of
activities are performed pursuant to
the NCP:
(1) Preparedness planning and
coordination for response to a
discharge of oil or release of a
hazardous substance, pollutant, or
contaminant;
(2) Notification and
communications; and
(3) Response operations at the
scene of a discharge or release.
(c) The organizational elements
created to perform these activities
are:
(1) The NRT, responsible for
national response and preparedness
planning, for coordinating regional
planning, and for providing policy
guidance and support to the Regional
Response Teams (RRTs). NRT
membership consists of
representatives from the agencies
specified in § 300.175(b).
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 11
(2) RRTs, responsible for regional
planning and preparedness activities
before response actions, and for
providing advice and support to the
OSC or RPM when activated during
a response. RRT membership
consists of designated representatives
from each federal agency
participating in the NRT together
with state and (as agreed upon by the
states) local government
representatives.
(3) The OSC and the RPM,
primarily responsible for directing
response efforts and coordinating all
other efforts at the scene of a
discharge or release. The other
responsibilities of OSCs and RPMs
are described in § 300.135.
(4) Area Committees, responsible
for developing, under direction of the
OSC, ACPs for each area designated
by the President. Responsibilities of
Area Committees are described in §
300.205(c).
(d) The basic framework for the
response management structure is a
system (e.g., a unified command
system) that brings together the
functions of the Federal Government,
the state government, and the
responsible party to achieve an
effective and efficient response,
where the OSC maintains authority.
(e)(1) The organizational concepts
of the national response system are
depicted in the following Figures 1 a
and lb:

hardcopy volume for
non-machine-readable
data that appears at this point.

boundaries (which are also the
geographic areas of responsibility for
the RRTs) are shown in the following

§ 300.110 National Response
Team.
National planning and coordination
is accomplished through the NRT.
(a) The NRT consists of
representatives from the agencies
named in § 300.175(b). Each agency
shall designate a member to the team
and sufficient alternates to ensure
representation, as agency resources
permit. The NRT will consider
requests for membership on the NRT
from other agencies. Other agencies
may request membership by
forwarding such requests to the chair
of the NRT.
(b) The chair of the NRT shall be
the representative of EPA and the
vice chair shall be the representative
of the USCG, with the exception of
periods of activation because of
response action. During activation,
the chair shall be the member agency
providing the OSC/RPM. The vice
chair shall maintain records of NRT
activities along with national,
regional, and area plans for response
actions.
(c) While the NRT desires to
achieve a consensus on all matters
brought before it, certain matters may
prove unresolvable by this means. In
such cases, each agency serving as a
participating agency on the NRT may
be accorded one vote in NRT
proceedings.
(d) The NRT may establish such
bylaws and committees as it deems
appropriate to further the purposes
for which it is established.
(e) The NRT shall evaluate
methods of responding to discharges
or releases; shall recommend any
changes needed in the response
organization; and shall recommend to
the Administrator of EPA changes to
the NCP designed to improve the
effectiveness of the national response
system, including drafting of
regulatory language.
(f) The NRT shall provide policy
and program direction to the RRTs.
(g) The NRT may consider and
make recommendations to
appropriate agencies on the training,
equipping, and protection of response
teams and necessary research,
development, demonstration, and
evaluation to improve response
capabilities.
(h) Direct planning and
preparedness responsibilities of the
NRT include:
(1) Maintaining national
preparedness to respond to a major
discharge of oil or release of a
hazardous substance, pollutant, or
contaminant that is beyond regional
capabilities;
(2) Publishing guidance documents
for preparation and implementation
of SARA Title III local emergency
response plans;
(3) Monitoring incoming reports
from all RRTs and activating for a
response action, when necessary;
(4) Coordinating a national
program to assist member agencies in
preparedness planning and response,
and enhancing coordination of
member agency preparedness
programs;
(5) Developing procedures, in
coordination with the NSFCC, as
appropriate, to ensure the
coordination of federal, state, and
local governments, and private
response to oil discharges and
releases of hazardous substances,
pollutants, or contaminants;
(6) Monitoring response-related
research and development, testing,
and evaluation activities of NRT
agencies to enhance coordination,
avoid duplication of effort, and
facilitate research in support of
response activities;
(7) Developing recommendations
for response training and for
enhancing the coordination of
available resources among agencies
with training responsibilities under
the NCP;
(8) Reviewing regional responses
to oil discharges and hazardous

substance, pollutant, or contaminant
releases, including an evaluation of
equipment readiness and
coordination among responsible
public agencies and private
organizations; and
(9) Assisting in developing a
national exercise program, in
coordination with the NSFCC, to
ensure preparedness and
coordination nationwide.
(i) The NRT will consider matters
referred to it for advice or resolution
by an RRT.
(j) The NRT should be activated as
an emergency response team:
(1) When an oil discharge or
hazardous substance release:
(1) Exceeds the response capability
of the region in which it occurs;
(ii) Transects regional boundaries;
or
(iii) Involves a substantial threat to
the public health or welfare of the
United States or the environment,
substantial amounts of property, or
substantial threats to natural
resources;
(2) If requested by any NRT
member.
(k) When activated for a response
action, the NRT shall meet at the call
of the chair and may:
(1) Monitor and evaluate reports
from the OSC/RPM and recommend
to the OSC/RPM, through the RRT,
actions to combat the discharge or
release;
(2) Request other federal, state, and
local governments, or private
agencies, to provide resources under
their existing authorities to combat a
discharge or release, or to monitor
response operations; and
(3) Coordinate the supply of
equipment, personnel, or technical
advice to the affected region from
other regions or districts.
§ 300.115 Regional Response
Teams.
(a) Regional planning and
coordination of preparedness and
response actions is accomplished
through the RRT. In the case of a
discharge of oil, preparedness
activities will be carried out in
conjunction with Area Committees,
as appropriate. The RRT agency
membership parallels that of the
NRT, as described in § 300.110, but
also includes state and local
representation. The RRT provides:
(1) The appropriate regional
mechanism for development and
coordination of preparedness
activities before a response action is
taken and for coordination of
assistance and advice to the
OSC/RPM during such response
actions; and
(2) Guidance to Area Committees,
as appropriate, to ensure inter-area
consistency and consistency of
individual ACPs with the RCP and
NCP.
(b) The two principal components
of the RRT mechanism are a standing
team, which consists of designated
representatives from each
participating federal agency, state
governments, and local governments
(as agreed upon by the states); and
incident-specific teams formed from
the standing team when the RRT is
activated for a response. On
incident-specific teams, participation
by the RRT member agencies will
relate to the technical nature of the
incident and its geographic location.
(1) The standing team's jurisdiction
corresponds to the standard federal
regions, except for Alaska, Oceania
in the Pacific, and the Caribbean
area, each of which has a separate
standing RRT. The role of the
standing RRT includes
communications systems and
procedures, planning, coordination,
training, evaluation, preparedness,
and related matters on a regionwide
basis. It also includes coordination of
Area Committees for these functions
in areas within their respective
regions, as appropriate.
(2) The role of the incident-specific
team is determined by the operational
requirements of the response to a
specific discharge or release.
Appropriate levels of activation
and/or notification of the
incident-specific RRT, including
participation by state and local
governments, shall be determined by
the designated RRT chair lor the
incident, based on the RCP. The
incident-specific RRT supports the
designated OSC/RPM. The
designated OSC/RPM directs
response efforts and coordinates all
other efforts at the scene of a
discharge or release.
(c) The representatives of EPA and
the USCG shall act as co-chairs of
RRTs except when the RRT is
activated. When the RRT is activated
for response actions, the chair shall
be the member agency providing the
OSC/RPM.
(d) Each participating agency
should designate one member and at
least one alternate member to the
RRT. Agencies whose regional
subdivisions do not correspond to the
standard federal regions may
designate additional representatives
to the standing RRT to ensure
appropriate coverage of the standard
federal region. Participating states
may also designate one member and
at least one alternate member to the
RRT. Indian tribal governments may
arrange for representation with the
RRT appropriate to their
geographical location. All agencies
and states may also provide
additional representatives as
observers to meetings of the RRT.
(e) RRT members should designate
representatives and alternates from
their agencies as resource personnel
for RRT activities, including RRT
work planning, and membership on
incident-specific teams in support of
the OSCs/RPMs.
(f) Federal RRT members or their
representatives should provide
OSCs/RPMs with assistance from
their respective federal agencies
commensurate with agency
responsibilities, resources, and
capabilities within the region. During
a response action, the members of the
RRT should seek to make available
the resources of their agencies to the
OSC/RPM as specified in the RCP
and ACP.
(g) RRT members should nominate
appropriately qualified
representatives from their agencies to
work with OSCs in developing and
maintaining ACPs.
(h) Affected states are encouraged
to participate actively in all RRT
activities. Each state governor is
requested to assign an office or
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 13
agency to represent the state on the
appropriate RRT; to designate
representatives to work with the RRT
in developing RCPs; to plan for,
make available, and coordinate state
resources; and to serve as the contact
point for coordination of response
with local government agencies,
whether or not represented on the
RRT. The state's RRT representative
should keep the State Emergency
Response Commission (SERC),
described in § 300.205(d), apprised
of RRT activities and coordinate
RRT activities with the SERC. Local
governments are invited to
participate in activities on the
appropriate RRT as provided by state
law or as arranged by the state's
representative. Indian tribes are also
invited to participate in such
activities.
(i) The standing RRT shall
recommend changes in the regional
response organization as needed,
revise the RCP as needed, evaluate
the preparedness of the participating
agencies and the effectiveness of
ACPs for the federal response to
discharges and releases, and provide
technical assistance for preparedness
to the response community. The RRT
should:
(1) Review and comment, to the
extent practicable, on local
emergency response plans or other
issues related to the preparation,
implementation, or exercise of such
plans upon request of a local
emergency planning committee;
(2) Evaluate regional and local
responses to discharges or releases
on a continuing basis, considering
available legal remedies, equipment
readiness, and coordination among
responsible public agencies and
private organizations, and
recommend improvements;
(3) Recommend revisions of the
NCP to the NRT, based on
observations of response operations;
(4) Review OSC actions to ensure
that RCPs and ACPs are effective;
(5) Encourage the state and local
response community to improve its
preparedness for response;
(6) In coordination with Area
Committees and in accordance with
any applicable laws, regulations, or
requirements, conduct advance
planning for use of dispersants,
surface washing agents, surface
collecting agents, burning agents,
bioremediation agents, or other
chemical agents in accordance with
subpart J of this part;
(7) Be prepared to provide
response resources to major
discharges or releases outside the
region;
(8) Conduct or participate in
training and exercises as necessary to
encourage preparedness activities of
the response community within the
region;
(9) Meet at least semiannually to
review response actions carried out
during the preceding period, consider
changes in RCPs, and recommend
changes in ACPs;
(10) Provide letter reports on RRT
activities to the NRT twice a year, no
later than January 31 and July 31. At
a minimum, reports should
summarize recent activities,
organizational changes,
operational concerns, and efforts to
improve state and local coordination;
and
(11) Ensure maximum participation
in the national exercise program for
announced and unannounced
exercises.
(j)(l) The RRT may be activated by
the chair as an incident-specific
response team when a discharge or
release.
(1) Exceeds the response capability
available to the OSC/RPM in the
place where it occurs;
(ii) Transects state boundaries;
(iii) May pose a substantial threat
to the public health or welfare of the
United States or the environment, or
to regionally significant amounts of
property; or
(iv) Is a worst case discharge, as
described in § 300.324. RCPs shall
specify detailed criteria for activation
ofRRTs.
(2) The RRT will be activated
during any discharge or release upon
a request from the OSC/RPM, or
from any RRT representative, to the
chair of the RRT. Requests for RRT
activation shall later be confirmed in
writing. Each representative, or an
appropriate alternate, should be
notified immediately when the RRT
is activated.
(3) During prolonged removal or
remedial action, the RRT may not
need to be activated or may need to
be activated only in a limited sense,
or may need to have available only
those member agencies of the RRT
who are directly affected or who can
provide direct response assistance.
(4) When the RRT is activated for a
discharge or release, agency
representatives shall meet at the call
of the chair and may:
(i) Monitor and evaluate reports
from the OSC/RPM, advise the
OSC/RPM on the duration and extent
of response, and recommend to the
OSC/RPM specific actions to
respond to the discharge or release;
(ii) Request other federal, state, or
local governments, or private
agencies, to provide resources under
their existing authorities to respond
to a discharge or release or to
monitor response operations;
(iii) Help the OSC/RPM prepare
information releases for the public
and for communication with the
NRT;
(iv) If the circumstances warrant,
make recommendations to the
regional or district head of the agency
providing the OSC/RPM that a
different OSC/RPM should be
designated; and
(v) Submit pollution reports to the
NRC as significant developments
occur.
(5) At the regional level, a
Regional Response Center (RRC)
may provide facilities and personnel
for communications, information
storage, and other requirements for
coordinating response. The location
of each RRC should be provided in
the RCP.
(6) When the RRT is activated,
affected states may participate in all
RRT deliberations. State government
representatives participating in the
RRT have the same status as any
federal member of the RRT.
(7) The RRT can be deactivated
when the incident-specific RRT chair
determines that the OSC/RPM no
longer requires RRT assistance.
(8) Notification of the RRT may be
appropriate when full activation is
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 14
not necessary, with systematic
communication of pollution reports
or other means to keep RRT
members informed as to actions of
potential concern to a particular
agency, or to assist in later RRT
evaluation of regionwide response
effectiveness.
(k) Whenever there is insufficient
national policy guidance on a matter
before the RRT, a technical matter
requiring solution, a question
concerning interpretation of the NCP,
or a disagreement on discretionary
actions among RRT members that
cannot be resolved at the regional
level, it may be referred to the NRT,
described in § 300. ] 10, for advice
§300.120 On-scene coordinators
and remedial project managers:
general responsibilities.
(a) The OSC/RPM directs response
efforts and coordinates all other
efforts at the scene of a discharge or
release. As part of the planning and
preparedness for response, OSCs
shall be predesignated by the
regional or district head of the lead
agency. EPA and the USCG shall
predesignate OSCs for all areas in
each region, except as provided in
paragraphs (c) and (d) of this section.
RPMs shall be assigned by the lead
agency to manage remedial or other
response actions at NPL sites, except
as provided in paragraphs (c) and (ci)
of this section.
(1) The USCG shall provide OSCs
for oil discharges, including
discharges from facilities and vessels
under the jurisdiction of another
federal agency, within or threatening
the coastal zone. The USCG shall
also provide OSCs for the removal of
releases of hazardous substances,
pollutants, or contaminants into or
threatening the coastal zone, except
as provided in paragraph (b) of this
section. The USCG shall not provide
predesignated OSCs for discharges
or releases from hazardous waste
management facilities or in similarly
chronic incidents. The USCG shall
provide an initial response to
discharges or releases from
hazardous waste management
facilities within the coastal zone in
accordance with Department of
Transportation (DOT)/EPA
Instrument of Redelegation (May 27,
1988) except as provided by
paragraph (b) of this section. The
USCG OSC shall contact the
cognizant RPM as soon as it is
evident that a removal may require a
follow-up remedial action, to ensure
that the required planning can be
initiated and an orderly transition to
an EPA or state lead can occur.
(2) EPA shall provide OSCs for
discharges or releases into or
threatening the inland zone and shall
provide RPMs for federally funded
remedial actions, except in the case
of state-lead federally funded
response and a.s provided in
paragraph (b) of this section. EPA
will also assume all remedial actions
at NPL sites in the coastal zone, even
where removals are initiated by the
USCG, except as provided in
paragraph (b) of this section.
(b) In general, USCG Captains of
the Port (COTP) shall serve as the
designated OSCs for areas in the
coastal zone for which an ACP is
required under CWA section 311 (j)
and EPA Regional Administrators
shall designate OSCs for areas in the
inland zone for which an ACP is
required under CWA section 31 l(j).
(c) For releases of hazardous
substances, pollutants, or
contaminants, when the release is on,
or the sole source of the release is
from, any facility or vessel, including
vessels bareboat-chailcrcd and
operated, under the jurisdiction,
custody, or control of DOD, DOE, or
other federal agency:
(1) In the case of DOD or DOE,
DOD or DOE shall provide
OSCs/RPMs responsible for taking
all response actions; and
(2) In the case of a federal agency
other than EPA, DOD, or DOE, such
agency shall provide OSCs for all
removal actions that are not
emergencies and shall provide RPMs
for all remedial actions.
(d) DOD will be the removal
response authority with respect to
incidents involving DOD military
weapons and munitions or weapons
and munitions under the jurisdiction,
custody, or control of DOD.
(e) The OSC is responsible for
overseeing development of the ACP
in the area of the OSCs
responsibility. ACPs shall, as
appropriate, be accomplished in
cooperation with the RRT, and
designated state and local
representatives. In contingency
planning and removal, the OSC
coordinates, directs, and reviews the
work of other agencies, Area
Committees, responsible parties, and
contractors to assure compliance with
the NCP, decision document, consent
decree, administrative order, and lead
agency-approved plans applicable to
the response.
(0 The RPM is the prime contact
for remedial or other response
actions being taken (or needed) at
sites on the proposed or promulgated
NPL, and for sites not on the NPL but
under the jurisdiction, custody, or
control of a federal agency. The
RPM's responsibilities include:
(1) Fund-financed response: The
RPM coordinates, directs, and
reviews the work of EPA, states and
local governments, the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers, and all other
agencies and contractors to assure
compliance with the NCP. Based
upon the reports of these parties, the
RPM recommends action for
decisions by lead agency officials.
The RPM's period of responsibility
begins prior to initiation of the
remedial investigation/feasibility
study (RI/FS), described in §
300.430, and continues through
design, remedial action, deletion of
the site from the NPL, and the
CERCLA cost recovery activity.
When a removal and remedial action
occur at the same site, the OSC and
RPM should coordinate to ensure an
orderly transition of responsibility.
(2) Federal-lead non-Fund-financed
response: The RPM coordinates,
directs, and reviews the work of other
agencies, responsible parties, and
contractors to assure compliance with
the NCP, Record of Decision (ROD),
consent decree, administrative order,
and lead agency-approved plans
applicable to the response. Based
upon the reports of these parties, the
RPM shall recommend action for
decisions by lead agency officials.
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 15
The RPM's period of responsibility
begins prior to initiation of the RI/FS,
described in § 300.430, and
continues through design and
remedial action and the CERCLA
cost recovery activity. The OSC and
RPM shall ensure orderly transition
of responsibilities from one to the
other.
(3) The RPM shall participate in all
decision-making processes necessary
to ensure compliance with the NCP,
including, as appropriate, agreements
between EPA or other federal
agencies and the state. The RPM may
also review responses where EPA
has preauthorized a person to file a
claim for reimbursement to
determine that the response was
consistent with the terms of such
preauthorization in cases where
claims are filed for reimbursement.
(g)( I) Where a support agency has
been identified through a cooperative
agreement, Superfund Memorandum
of Agreement (SMOA), or other
agreement, that agency may designate
a support agency coordinator (SAC)
to provide assistance, as requested,
by the OSC/RPM. The SAC is the
prime representative of the support
agency for response actions.
(2) The SAC's responsibilities may
include:
(1) Providing and reviewing data
and documents as requested by the
OSC/RPM during the planning,
design, and cleanup activities of the
response action; and
(ii) Providing other assistance as
requested.
(h)(1) The lead agency should
provide appropriate training for its
OSCs, RPMs, and other response
personnel to carry out their
responsibilities under the NCP.
(2) OSCs/RPMs should ensure that
persons designated to act as their
on-scene representatives are
adequately trained and prepared to
carry out actions under the NCP, to
the extent practicable.
§ 300.125 Notification and
communications.
(a) The National Response Center
(NRC), located at USCG
Headquarters, is the national
communications center, continuously
manned for handling activities related
to response actions. The NRC acts as
the single point of contact for all
pollution incident reporting, and as
the NRT communications center.
Notice of discharges and releases
must be made telephonically through
a toll free number or a special local
number (Telecommunication Device
for the Deaf (TDD) and collect calls
accepted). (Notification details
appear in §§ 300.300 and 300.405.)
The NRC receives and immediately
relays telephone notices of discharges
or releases to the appropriate
predesignated federal OSC. The
telephone report is distributed to any
interested NRT member agency or
federal entity that has established a
written agreement or understanding
with the NRC. The NRC evaluates
incoming information and
immediately advises FEMA of a
potential major disaster situation.
(b) The Commandant, USCG, in
conjunction with other NRT
agencies, shall provide the necessary
personnel, communications, plotting
facilities, and equipment for the
NRC.
(c) Notice of an oil discharge or
release of a hazardous substance in
an amount equal to or greater than
the reportable quantity must be made
immediately in accordance with 33
CFR part 153, subpart B, and 40
CFR part 302, respectively.
Notification shall be made to the
NRC Duty Officer, HQ USCG,
Washington, DC, telephone (800)
424-8802 or (202) 267-2675. All
notices of discharges or releases
received at the NRC will be relayed
immediately by telephone to the
OSC.
§300.130 Determinations to
initiate response and special
conditions.
(a) In accordance with CWA and
CERCLA, the Administrator of EPA
or the Secretary of the department in
which the USCG is operating, as
appropriate, is authorized to act for
the United States to take response
measures deemed necessary to
protect the public health or welfare or
environment from discharges of oil or
releases of hazardous substances,
pollutants, or contaminants except
with respect to such releases on or
from vessels or facilities under the
jurisdiction, custody, or control of
other federal agencies.
(b) The Administrator of EPA or
the Secretary of the department in
which the USCG is operating, as
appropriate, is authorized to initiate
and, in the case of a discharge posing
a substantial threat to public health or
welfare of the United States is
required to initiate and direct,
appropriate response activities when
the Administrator or Secretary
determines that any oil or CWA
hazardous substance is discharged or
there is a substantial threat of such
discharge from any vessel or offshore
or onshore facility into or on the
navigable waters of the United
States, on the adjoining shorelines to
the navigable waters, into or on the
waters of the exclusive economic
zone, or that may affect natural
resources belonging to, appertaining
to, or under exclusive management
authority of the United States; or
(c) The Administrator of EPA or
the Secretary of the department in
which the USCG is operating, as
appropriate, is authorized to initiate
appropriate response activities when
the Administrator or Secretaiy
determines that any hazardous
substance is released or there is a
threat of such a release into the
environment, or there is a release or
threat of release into the environment
of any pollutant or contaminant
which may present an imminent and
substantial danger to the public
health or welfare of the United States.
(d) In addition to any actions taken
by a state or local government, the
Administrator of EPA or the
Secretary of the department in which
the USCG is operating may request
the U.S. Attorney General to secure
the relief from any person, including
the owner or operator of the vessel or
facility necessary to abate a threat or,
after notice to the affected state, take
any other action authorized by section
311 of the CWA or section 106 of
CERCLA as appropriate, including
issuing administrative orders, that
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 16
may be necessary to protect the
public health or welfare, if the
Administrator or Secretary
determines:
(1) That there may be an imminent
and substantial threat to the public
health or welfare of the United States
or the environment of the United
States, including fish, shellfish, and
wildlife, public and private property,
shorelines, beaches, habitats, and
other living and nonliving natural
resources under the jurisdiction or
control of the United States, because
of an actual or threatened discharge
of oil or a CWA hazardous substance
from any vessel or offshore or
onshore facility into or upon the
navigable waters of the United
States; or
(2) That there may be an imminent
and substantial endangenment to the
public health or welfare of the United
States or the environment because of
a release of a CERCLA hazardous
substance from a facility.
(e) Response actions to remove
discharges originating from
operations conducted subject to the
Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act
shall be in accordance with the NCP.
(f) Where appropriate, when a
discharge or release involves
radioactive materials, the lead or
support federal agency shall act
consistent with the notification and
assistance procedures described in
the appropriate Federal Radiological
Plan. For the purpose of the NCP, the
FRERP (24 CFR part 2401) is the
appropriate plan. Most radiological
discharges and releases do not result
in FRERP activation and should be
handled in accordance with the NCP.
However, releases from nuclear
incidents subject to requirements for
financial protection established by
the Nuclear Regulatory Commission
under the Price-Anderson
amendments (section 170) of the
Atomic Energy Act are specifically
excluded from CERCLA and NCP
requirements.
(g) Removal actions involving
nuclear weapons should be
conducted in accordance with the
joint Department of Defense,
Department of Energy, and FEMA
Agreement for Response to Nuclear
Incidents and Nuclear Weapons
Significant Incidents (January 8,
1981).
(h) If the situation is beyond the
capability of state and local
governments and the statutory
authority of federal agencies, the
President may, under the Disaster
Relief Act of 1974, act upon a
request by the governor and declare a
major disaster or emergency and
appoint a Federal Coordinating
Officer (FCO) to coordinate all
federal disaster assistance activities.
In such cases, the OSC/RPM would
continue to carry out OSC/RPM
responsibilities under the NCP, but
would coordinate those activities
with the FCO to ensure consistency
with other federal disaster assistance
activities.
(i) In the event of a declaration of a
major disaster by the President, the
FEMA may activate the Federal
Response Plan (FRP). A FCO,
designated by the President, may
implement the FRP and coordinate
and direct emergency assistance and
disaster relief of impacted
individuals, business, and public
services under the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief Act. Delivery of
federal assistance is facilitated
through twelve functional annexes to
the FRP known as Emergency
Support Functions (ESFs). EPA
coordinates activities under ESF
#10-Hazardous Materials, which
addresses preparedness and response
to hazardous materials and oil
incidents caused by a natural disaster
or other catastrophic event. In such
cases, the OSC/RPM should
coordinate response activities with
the FCO, through the
incident-specific ESF #10 Chair, to
ensure consistency with federal
disaster assistance activities.
§ 300.135 Response operations.
(a) The OSC/RPM, consistent with
§§ 300.120 and 300.125, shall direct
response efforts and coordinate all
other efforts at the scene of a
discharge or release. As part of the
planning and preparation for
response, the OSCs/RPMs shall be
predesignated by the regional or
district head of the lead agency.
(b) The first federal official
affiliated with an NRT member
agency to arrive at the scene of a
discharge or release should
coordinate activities under the NCP
and is authorized to initiate, in
consultation with the OSC, any
necessary actions normally carried
out by the OSC until the arrival of the
predesignated OSC. This official may
initiate federal fund-financed actions
only as authorized by the OSC or, if
the OSC is unavailable, the
authorized representative of the lead
agency.
(c) The OSC/RPM shall, to the
extent practicable, collect pertinent
facts about the discharge or release,
such as its source and cause; the
identification of potentially
responsible parties; the nature,
amount, and location of discharged or
released materials; the probable
direction and time of travel of
discharged or released materials;
whether the discharge is a worst case
discharge as discussed in § 300.324;
the pathways to human and
environmental exposure; the potential
impact on human health, welfare, and
safety and the environment; whether
the discharge or release poses a
substantial threat to the public health
or welfare of the United States as
discussed in § 300.322; the potential
impact on natural resources and
property which may be affected;
priorities for protecting human health
and welfare and the environment; and
appropriate cost documentation.
(d) The OSC's/RPM's efforts shall
be coordinated with other appropriate
federal, stale, local, and private
response agencies. OSCs/RPMs may
designate capable persons from
federal, state, or local agencies to act
as their on-scene representatives.
State and local governments,
however, are not authorized to take
actions under subparts D and E of the
NCP that involve expenditures of the
Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund or
CERCLA funds unless an
appropriate contract or cooperative
agreement has been established. The
basic framework for the response
management structure is a system
(e.g., a unified command system),
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 17
that brings together the functions of
the federal government, the state
government, and the responsible
party to achieve an effective and
efficient response, where the OSC
maintains authority.
(e) The OSC/RPM should consult
regularly with the RRT and NSFCC,
as appropriate, in carrying out the
NCP and keep the RRT and NSFCC,
as appropriate, informed of activities
under the NCP.
- (f) The OSC/RPM shall advise the
support agency as promptly as
possible of reported releases.
(g) The OSC/RPM should evaluate
incoming information and
immediately advise FEMA of
potential major disaster situations
(h) In those instances where a
possible public health emergency
exists, the OSC/RPM should notify
the Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) representative to the
RRT. Throughout response actions,
the OSC/RPM may call upon the
HHS representative for assistance in
determining public health threats and
call upon the Occupational Safety
and Health Administration (OSHA)
and HHS for assistance on worker
health and safety issues.
(i) All federal agencies should plan
for emergencies and develop
procedures for dealing with oil
discharges and releases of hazardous
substances, pollutants, or
contaminants from vessels and
facilities under their jurisdiction. All
federal agencies, therefore, are
responsible for designating the office
that coordinates response to such
incidents in accordance with the NCP
and applicable federal regulations
and guidelines.
(j)(l) The OSC/RPM shall ensure
that the trustees for natural resources
are promptly notified of discharges or
releases.
(2) The OSC or RPM shall
coordinate all response activities with
the affected natural resource trustees
and, for discharges of oil, the OSC
shall consult with the affected
trustees on the appropriate removal
action to be taken
(k) Where the OSC/RPM becomes
aware that a discharge or release may
affect any endangered or threatened
species or their habitat, the
OSC/RPM shall consult with the
Department of Interior (DOI), or the
Department of Commerce (DOC)
(NOAA) and, if appropriate, the
cognizant federal land managing
agency.
(1) The OSC/RPM is responsible
for addressing worker health and
safety concerns at a response scene,
in accordance with § 300.150.
(m) The OSC shall submit
pollution reports to the RRT and
other appropriate agencies as
significant developments occur
during response actions, through
communications networks or
procedures agreed to by the RRT and
covered in the RCP.
(n) OSCs/RPMs should ensure that
all appropriate public and private
interests are kept informed and thai
their concerns are considered
throughout a response, to the extent
practicable, consistent with the
requirements of § 300.155 of this
part.
§300.140 Multi-regional
responses.
(a) If a discharge or release moves
from the area covered by one ACP or
RCP into another area, the authority
for response actions should likewise
shift. If a discharge or release affects
areas covered by two or more ACPs
or RCPs, the response mechanisms of
each applicable plan may be
activated. In this case, response
actions of all regions concerned shall
be fully coordinated as detailed in the
RCPs and ACPs.
(b) There shall be only one OSC
and/or RPM at any time during the
course of a response operation.
Should a discharge or release affect
two or more areas, EPA, the USCG,
DOD, DOE, or other lead agency, as
appropriate, shall give prime
consideration to the area vulnerable
to the greatest threat, in determining
which agency should provide the
OSC and/or RPM. The RRT shall
designate the OSC and/or RPM if the
RRT member agencies who have
response authority within the affected
areas are unable to agree on the
designation. The NRT shall designate
the OSC and/or RPM if members of
one RRT or two adjacent RRTs are
unable to agree on the designation.
(c) Where the USCG has initially
provided the OSC for response to a
release from hazardous waste
management facilities located in the
coastal zone, responsibility for
response action shall shift to EPA or
another federal agency, as
appropriate.
§ 300.145 Special teams and
other assistance available to
OSCs/RPMs.
(a) The NSF is a special team
established by the USCG, including
the three USCG Strike Teams, the
Public Information Assist Team
(PIAT), and the NSFCC. The NSF is
available to assist OSCs/RPMs in
their preparedness and response
duties.
(1) The three Strike Teams
(Atlantic, Gulf, and Pacific) provide
trained personnel and specialized
equipment to assist the OSC in
training for spill response, stabilizing
and containing the spill, and in
monitoring or directing the response
actions of the responsible parties
and/or contractors. The OSC has a
specific team designated for initial
contact and may contact that team
directly for any assistance.
(2) The NSFCC can provide the
following support to the OSC:
(i) Technical assistance, equipment
and other resources to augment the
OSC staff during spill response.
(ii) Assistance in coordinating the
use of private and public resources in
support of the OSC during a response
to or a threat of a worst case
discharge of oil.
(iii) Review of the area contingency
plan, including an evaluation of
equipment readiness and
coordination among responsible
public agencies and private
organizations.
(iv) Assistance in locating spill
response resources for both response
and planning, using the NSFCC's
national and international
computerized inventory of spill
response resources.
(v) Coordination and evaluation of
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 18
pollution response exercises.
(vi) Inspection of district
prepositioned pollution response
equipment.
(3) PIAT is an element of the
NSFCC staff which is available to
assist OSCs to meet the demands for
public information during a response
or exercise. Its use is encouraged any
time the OSC requires outside public
affairs support. Requests for PIAT
assistance may be made through the
NSFCC or NRC.
(b)( 1) The Environmental
Response Team (ERT) is established
by EPA in accordance with its
disaster and emergency
responsibilities. The ERT has
expertise in treatment technology,
biology, chemistry, hydrology,
geology, and engineering.
(2) The ERT can provide access to
special decontamination equipment
for chemical releases and advice to
the OSC/RPM in hazard evaluation;
risk assessment; multimedia
sampling and analysis program;
on-site safety, including development
and implementation plans; cleanup
techniques and priorities; water
supply decontamination and
protection; application of dispersants;
environmental assessment; degree of
cleanup required; and disposal of
contaminated material.
(3) The ERT also provides both
introductory and intermediate level
training courses to prepare response
personnel.
(4) OSC/RPM or RRT requests for
ERT support should be made to the
EPA representative on the RRT;
EPA Headquarters, Director,
Emergency Response Division; or
the appropriate EPA regional
emergency coordinator.
(c) Scientific Support Coordinators
(SSCs) may be designated by the
OSC (and RPM in the case of EPA
SSCs) as the principal advisors for
scientific issues, communication with
the scientific community, and
coordination of requests for
assistance from state and federal
agencies regarding scientific studies.
The SSC strives for a consensus on
scientific issues affecting the
response, but ensures that differing
opinions within the community are
communicated to the OSC/RPM.
(1) Generally, SSCs are provided
by NOAA in the coastal zones, and
by EPA in the inland zone.
OSC/RPM requests for SSC support
can be made directly to the SSC
assigned to the area or to the agency
member of the RRT. NOAA SSCs
can also be requested through
NOAA's SSC program office in
Seattle, WA. NOAA SSCs are
assigned to USCG Districts and are
supported by a scientific support
team that includes expertise in
environmental chemistry, oil slick
tracking, pollutant transport
modeling, natural resources at risk,
environmental tradeoffs of
countermeasures and cleanup, and
information management.
(2) During a response, the SSC
serves on the federal OSC's/RPM's
staff and may, at the request of the
OSC/RPM, lead the scientific team
and be responsible for providing
scientific support for operational
decisions and for coordinating
on-scene scientific activity.
Depending on the nature and location
of the incident, the SSC integrates
expertise from governmental
agencies, universities, community
representatives, and industry to assist
the OSC/RPM in evaluating the
hazards and potential effects of
releases and in developing response
strategies.
(3) At the request of the OSC, the
SSC may facilitate the OSC's work
with the lead administrative trustee
for natural resources to ensure
coordination between damage
assessment data collection efforts and
data collected in support of response
operations.
(4) SSCs support the Regional
Response Teams and the Area
Committees in preparing regional
and area contingency plans and in
conducting spill training and
exercises. For area plans, the SSC
provides leadership for the synthesis
and integration of environmental
information required for spill
response decisions in support of the
OSC.
(d)(1) SUPSALV has an extensive
salvage/search and recovery
equipment inventory with the
requisite knowledge and expertise to
support these operations, including
specialized salvage, firefighting, and
petroleum, oil and lubricants
offloading capability.
(2) When possible, SUPSALV will
provide equipment for training
exercises in support of national and
regional contingency planning
objectives.
(3) The OSC/RPM may request
assistance directly from SUPSALV.
Formal requests are routed through
the Chief of Naval Operations
(N312).
(e) For marine salvage operations,
OSCs/RPMs with responsibility for
monitoring, evaluating, or
supervising these activities should
request technical assistance from
DOD, the Strike Teams, or
commercial salvors as necessary to
ensure that proper actions are taken.
Marine salvage operations generally
fall into five categories: afloat
salvage; offshore salvage; river and
harbor clearance; cargo salvage; and
rescue towing. Each category
requires different knowledge and
specialized types of equipment. The
complexity of such operations may be
further compounded by local
environmental and geographic
conditions. The nature of marine
salvage and the conditions under
which it occurs combine to make
such operations imprecise, difficult,
hazardous, and expensive. Thus,
responsible parties or other persons
attempting to perform such
operations without adequate
knowledge, equipment, and
experience could aggravate, rather
than relieve, the situation.
(f) Radiological Emergency
Response Teams (RERTs) have been
established by EPA's Office of
Radiation Programs (ORP) to
provide response and support for
incidents or sites containing
radiological hazards. Expertise is
available in radiation monitoring,
radionuclide analysis, radiation health
physics, and risk assessment. RERTs
can provide on-site support including
mobile monitoring laboratories for
field analyses of samples and fixed
laboratories for radiochemical
sampling and analyses. Requests for
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 19
support may be made 24 hours a day
via the NRC or directly to the EPA
Radiological Response Coordinator
in the Office of Radiation Programs.
Assistance is also available from
DOE and other federal agencies.
(g)(1) DRGs assist the OSC by
providing technical assistance,
personnel, and equipment, including
pre-positioned equipment. Each
DRG consists of all Coast Guard
personnel and equipment, including
marine firefighting equipment, in its
district, additional pre-positioned
equipment, and a District Response
Advisory Team (DRAT) that is
available to provide support to the
OSC in the event that a spill exceeds
local response capabilities. Each
DRG:
(1) Shall provide technical
assistance, equipment, and other
resources, as available, when
requested by an OSC through the
USCG representative to the RRT;
(ii) Shall ensure maintenance of all
USCG response equipment within its
district;
(iii) May provide technical
assistance in the preparation of the
ACP; and
(iv) Shall review each of those
plans that affect its area of
geographic responsibility
(2) In deciding where to locale
personnel and pre-positioned
equipment, the USCG shall give
priority emphasis to:
(i) The availability of facilities for
loading and unloading heavy or bulky
equipment by barge;
(ii) The proximity to an airport
capable of supporting large military
transport aircraft;
(iii) The flight time to provide
response to oil spills in all areas of
the Coast Guard district with the
potential for marine casualties;
(iv) The availability of trained local
personnel capable of responding in
an oil spill emergency; and
(v) Areas where large quantities of
petroleum products are transported
(h) The NPFC is responsible for
implementing those portions of Titk
I of the OPA that have been
delegated to the Secretary of the
department in which the Coast Guard
is operating. The NPFC is
responsible for addressing funding
issues arising from discharges and
threats of discharges of oil. The
NPFC:
(1) Issues Certificates of Financial
Responsibility to owners and
operators of vessels to pay for costs
and damages that are incurred by
their vessels as a result of oil
discharges;
(2) Provides funding for various
response organizations for timely
abatement and removal actions
related to oil discharges;
(3) Provides equitable
compensation to claimants who
sustain costs and damages from oil
discharges when the responsible
party fails to do so;
(4) Recovers monies from persons
liable for costs and damages resulting
from oil discharges to the full extent
of liability under the law; and
(5) Provides funds to initiate
natural resource damage
assessments.
§ 300.150 Worker health and
safety.
(a) Response actions under the
NCP will comply with the provisions
for response action worker safety and
health in 29 CFR 1910.120. The
NRS meets the requirements of 29
CFR 1910.120 concerning use of an
incident command system
(b) In a response action taken by a
responsible party, the responsible
party must assure that an
occupational safety and health
program consistent with 29 CFR
1910.120 is made available for the
protection of workers at the response
site.
(c) In a response taken under the
NCP by a lead agency, an
occupational safety and health
program should be made available
for the protection of workers at the
response site, consistent with, and to
the extent required by, 29 CFR
1910.120. Contracts relating to a
response action under the NCP
should contain assurances that the
contractor at the response site will
comply with this program and with
any applicable provisions of the
Occupational Safely and Health Acl
of 1970 (29 U.S.C. 651 etseq.)
(OSH Act) and state laws with plans
approved under section 18 of the
OSH Act.
(d) When a state, or political
subdivision of a state, without an
OSHA-approved state plan is the
lead agency for response, the state or
political subdivision must comply
with standards in 40 CFR part 311,
promulgated by EPA pursuant to
section 126(0 of SARA.
(e) Requirements, standards, and
regulations of the OSH Act and of
state OSH laws not directly
referenced in paragraphs
(a) through (d) of this section, must
be complied with where applicable.
Federal OSH Act requirements
include, among other things,
Construction Standards (29 CFR part
1926), General Industry Standards
(29 CFR part 1910), and the general
duty requirement of section 5(a)(1) of
the OSH Act (29 U.S.C. 654(a)(1)).
No action by the lead agency with
respect to response activities under
the NCP constitutes an exercise of
statutory authority within the
meaning of section 4(b)(1) of the
OSH Act. All governmental agencies
and private employers are directly
responsible for the health and safety
of their own employees.
§ 300.155 Public information and
community relations.
(a) When an incident occurs, it is
imperative to give the public prompt,
accurate information on the nature of
the incident and the actions underway
to mitigate the damage. OSCs/RPMs
and community relations personnel
should ensure that all appropriate
public and private interests are kept
informed and that their concerns are
considered throughout a response.
They should coordinate with
available public affairs/community
relations resources to carry out this
responsibility by establishing, as
appropriate, a Joint Information
Center bringing together resources
from federal and state agencies and
the responsible party.
(b) An on-scene news office may
be established to coordinate media
relations and to issue official federal
-------
40CFR300 NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 20
information on an incident.
Whenever possible, it will be headed
by a representative of the lead
agency. The OSC/RPM determines
the location of the on-scene news
office, but every effort should be
made to locate it near the scene of the
incident. If a participating agency
believes public interest warrants the
issuance of statements and an
on-scene news office has not been
established, the affected agency
should recommend its establishment.
All federal news releases or
statements by participating agencies
should be cleared through the
OSC/RPM. Information
dissemination relating to natural .
resource damage assessment
activities shall be coordinated
through the lead administrative
trustee. The designated lead
administrative trustee may assist the
OSC/RPM by disseminating
information on issues relating to
damage assessment activities.
Following termination of removal
activity, information dissemination on
damage assessment activities shall be
through the lead administrative
trustee.
(c) The community relations
requirements specified in §§
300.415,300.430, and 300.435
apply to removal, remedial, and
enforcement actions and are intended
to promote active communication
between communities affected by
discharges or releases and the lead
agency responsible for response
actions. Community Relations Plans
(CRPs) are required by EPA for
certain response actions. The
OSC/RPM should ensure
coordination with such plans which
may be in effect at the scene of a
discharge or release or which may
need to be developed during
follow-up activities.
§300.160 Documentation and
cost recovery.
(a) For releases of a hazardous
substance, pollutant, or contaminant,
the following provisions apply:
(1) During all phases of response,
the lead agency shall complete and
maintain documentation lo support
all actions taken under the NCP and
to form the basis for cost recovery. In
general, documentation shall be
sufficient to provide the source and
circumstances of the release, the
identity of responsible parties, the
response action taken, accurate
accounting of federal, state, or private
party costs incurred for response
actions, and impacts and potential
impacts to the public health and
welfare and the environment. Where
applicable, documentation shall state
when the NRC received notification
of a release of a reportable quantity.
(2) The information and reports
obtained by the lead agency for
Fund-financed response actions shall,
as appropriate, be transmitted to the
chair of the RRT. Copies can then be
forwarded to the NRT, members of
the RRT, and others as appropriate.
(3) The lead agency shall make
available to the trustees of affected
natural resources information and
documentation that can assist the
trustees in the determination of actual
or potential natural resource injuries.
(b) For discharges of oil,
documentation and cost recovery
provisions are described in §
300.315.
(c) Response actions undertaken by
the participating agencies shall be
earned out under existing programs
and authorities when available.
Federal agencies are lo make
resources available, expend funds, or
participate in response to discharges
and releases under their existing
authority. Interagency agreements
may be signed when necessary to
ensure that the federal resources will
be available for a timely response to
a discharge or release. The ultimate
decision as to the appropriateness of
expending funds rests with the
agency that is held accountable for
such expenditures. Further funding
provisions for discharges of oil are
described in § 300.335.
(d) The Administrator of EPA and
the Administrator of the Agency for
Toxic Substances and Disease
Registry (ATSDR) shall assure that
the costs of health assessment or
health clTect studies conducted under
the authority of CERCLA section
l()4(i) are documented in accordance
with standard EPA procedures for
cost recovery. Documentation shall
include information on the nature of
the hazardous substances addressed
by the research, information
concerning the locations where these
substances have been found, and any
available information on response
actions taken concerning these
substances at the location.
§300.165 OSC reports.
(a) As requested by the NRT or
RRT, the OSC/RPM shall submit to
the NRT or RRT a complete report
on the removal operation and the
actions taken. The RRT shall review
the OSC report and send to the NRT
a copy of the OSC report with its
comments or recommendations
within 30 days after the RRT has
received the OSC report.
(b) The OSC report shall record the
situation as it developed, the actions
taken, the resources committed, and
the problems encountered.
§ 300.170 Federal agency
participation.
Federal agencies listed in §
300.175 have duties established by
statute, executive order, or
Presidential directive which may
apply to federal response actions
following, or in prevention of, the
discharge of oil or release of a
hazardous substance, pollutant, or
contaminant. Some of these agencies
also have duties relating to the
restoration, rehabilitation,
replacement, or acquisition of
equivalent natural resources injured
or lost as a result of such discharge or
release as described in subpart G of
this part. The NRT, RRT, and Area
Committee organizational structure,
and the NCP, RCPs and ACPs,
described in § 300.210, provide for
agencies to coordinate with each
other in carrying out these duties.
(a) Federal agencies may be called
upon by an OSC/RPM during
response planning and
implementation to provide assistance
in their respective areas of expertise,
as described in § 300.175, consistent
with the agencies' capabilities and
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 21
authorities.
(b) In addition to their general
responsibilities, federal agencies
should:
(1) Make necessary information
available to the Secretary of the
NRT, RRTs, Area Committees, and
OSCs/RPMs.
(2) Provide representatives to the
NRT and RRTs and otherwise assist
RRTs and OSCs, as necessary, in
formulating RCPs and ACPs.
(3) Inform the NRT, RRTs, and
Area Committees, consistent with
national security considerations, of
changes in the availability of
resources that would affect the
operations implemented under the
NCP.
(c) All federal agencies are
responsible for reporting releases of
hazardous substances from facilities
or vessels under their jurisdiction or
control in accordance with section
103 of CERCLA.
(d) All federal agencies are
encouraged to report releases of
pollutants or contaminants and must
report discharges of oil, as required,
in 40 CFR part 110, from facilities or
vessels under their jurisdiction or
control to the NRC.
§ 300.175 Federal agencies:
additional responsibilities and
assistance.
(a) During preparedness planning
or in an actual response, various
federal agencies may be called upon
to provide assistance in their
respective areas of expertise, as
indicated in paragraph (b) of this
section, consistent with agency legal
authorities and capabilities.
(b) The federal agencies include:
(1) USCG, as provided in 14
U.S.C. 1-3, is an agency in DOT,
except when operating as an agency
in the United States Navy (USN) in
time of war. The USCG provides the
NRT vice chair, co-chairs for the
standing RRTs, and predesignated
OSCs for the coastal zone, as
described in § 300.120(a)(1). The
USCG maintains continuously
manned facilities which can be used
for command, control, and
surveillance of oil discharges and
hazardous substance releases
occurring in the coastal zone. The
USCG also offers expertise in
domestic and international fields of
port safety and security, maritime law-
enforcement, ship navigation and
construction, and the manning,
operation, and safety of vessels and
marine facilities. The USCG may
enter into a contract or cooperative
agreement with the appropriate state
in order to implement a response
action.
(2) EPA chairs the NRT and
co-chairs, with the USCG, the
standing RRTs, provides
predesignated OSCs for all inland
areas for which an ACP is required
under CWA section 31 l(j) and for
discharges and releases occurring in
the inland zone and RPMs for
remedial actions except as otherwise
provided; and generally provides the
SSC for responses in the inland zone.
EPA provides expertise on human
health and ecological effects of oil
discharges or releases of hazardous
substances, pollutants, or
contaminants; ecological and human
health risk assessment methods; and
environmental pollution control
techniques. Access to EPA's
scientific expertise can be facilitated
through the EPA representative to the
Research and Development
Committee of the National Response
Team; the EPA Office of Research
and Development's Superfund
Technical Liaisons or Regional
Scientists located in EPA Regional
offices; or through EPA's Office of
Science Planning and Regulatory
Evaluation. EPA also provides legal
expertise on the interpretation of
CERCLA and other environmental
statutes. EPA may enter into a
contract or cooperative agreement
with the appropriate state in order to
implement a response action.
(3) FEMA provides guidance,
policy and program advice, and
technical assistance in hazardous
materials, chemical, and radiological
emergency preparedness activities
(including planning, training, and
exercising). FEMA's primary point of
contact for administering financial
and technical assistance to state and
local governments to support their
efforts to develop and maintain an
effective emergency management and
response capability is the
Preparedness, Training, and
Exercises Directorate.
(4) DOD has responsibility to take
all action necessary with respect to
releases where either the release is
on, or the sole source of the release is
from, any facility or vessel under the
jurisdiction, custody, or control of
DOD. In addition to those
capabilities provided by SUPSALV,
DOD may also, consistent with its
operational requirements and upon
request of the OSC, provide locally
deployed USN oil spill equipment
and provide assistance to other
federal agencies on request. The
following two branches of DOD have
particularly relevant expertise:
(i) The United States Army Corps
of Engineers has specialized
equipment and personnel for
maintaining navigation channels, for
removing navigation obstructions, for
accomplishing structural repairs, and
for performing maintenance to
hydropower electric generating
equipment. The Corps can also
provide design services, perform
construction, and provide contract
writing and contract administrative
services for other federal agencies.
(ii) The U.S. Navy Supervisor of
Salvage (SUPSALV) is the branch of
service within DOD most
knowledgeable and experienced in
ship salvage, shipboard damage
control, and diving. The USN has an
extensive array of specialized
equipment and personnel available
for use in these areas as well as
specialized containment, collection,
and removal equipment specifically
designed for salvage-related and
open-sea pollution incidents.
(5) DOE generally provides
designated OSCs/RPMs that are
responsible for taking all response
actions with respect to releases where
either the release is on, or the sole
source of the release is from, any
facility or vessel under its
jurisdiction, custody, or control,
including vessels bareboat-chartered
and operated. In addition, under the
FRERP, DOE provides advice and
assistance to other OSCs/RPMs for
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 22
emergency actions essential for the
control of immediate radiological
hazards. Incidents that qualify for
DOE radiological advice and
assistance are those believed to
involve source, by-product, or
special nuclear material or other
ionizing radiation sources, including
radium, and other naturally occurring
radionuclides, as well as particle
accelerators. Assistance is available
through direct contact with the
appropriate DOE Radiological
Assistance Program Regional Office.
(6) The Department of Agriculture
(USDA) has scientific and technical
capability to measure, evaluate, and
monitor, either on the ground or by
use of aircraft, situations where
natural resources including soil,
water, wildlife, and vegetation have
been impacted by fire, insects and
diseases, floods, hazardous
substances, and other natural or
man-caused emergencies. The
USD A may be contacted through
Forest Service emergency staff
officers who are the designated
members of the RRT. Agencies
within USDA have relevant
capabilities and expertise as follows:
(i) The Forest Service has
responsibility for protection and
management of national forests and
national grasslands. The Forest
Service has personnel, laboratory,
and field capability to measure,
evaluate, monitor, and control as
needed, releases of pesticides and
other hazardous substances on lands
under its jurisdiction.
(ii) The Agriculture Research
Service (ARS) administers an
applied and developmental research
program in animal and plant
protection and production; the use
and improvement of soil, water, and
air; the processing, storage, and
distribution of farm products; and
human nutrition. The ARS has the
capabilities to provide regulation of,
and evaluation and training for,
employees exposed to biological,
chemical, radiological, and industrial
hazards. In emergency situations, the
ARS can identify, control, and abate
pollution in the areas of air, soil,
wastes, pesticides, radiation, and
toxic substances for ARS facilities.
(iii) The Soil Conservation Service
(SCS) has personnel in nearly every
county in the nation who are
knowledgeable in soil, agronomy,
engineering, and biology. These
personnel can help to predict the
effects of pollutants on soil and their
movements over and through soils.
Technical specialists can assist in
identifying potential hazardous waste
sites and provide review and advice
on plans for remedial measures.
(iv) The Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Service (APHIS) can
respond in an emergency to regulate
movement of diseased or infected
organisms to prevent the spread and
contamination of nonaffected areas.
(v) The Food Safety and Inspection
Service (FSIS) has responsibility to
prevent meat and poultry products
contaminated with harmful
substances from entering human food
channels. In emergencies, the FSIS
works with other federal and state
agencies to establish acceptability for
slaughter of exposed or potentially
exposed animals and their products.
In addition they are charged with
managing the Federal Radiological
Emergency Response Program for
the USDA.
(7) DOC, through NOAA, provides
scientific support for response and
contingency planning in coastal and
marine areas, including assessments
of the hazards that may be involved,
predictions of movement and
dispersion of oil and hazardous
substances through trajectory
modeling, and information on the
sensitivity of coastal environments to
oil and hazardous substances and
associated clean-up and mitigation
methods; provides expertise on living
marine resources and their habitats,
including endangered species, marine
mammals and National Marine
Sanctuary ecosystems; provides
information on actual and predicted
meteorological, hydrological, ice, and
oceanographic conditions for marine,
coastal, and inland waters, and tide
and circulation data for coastal and
territorial waters and for the Great
Lakes.
(8) HHS assists with the
assessment, preservation, and
protection of human health and helps
ensure the availability of essentia]
human services. HHS provides
technical and nontechnical assistance
in the form of advice, guidance, and
resources to other federal agencies as
well as state and local governments.
(i) The principal HHS response
comes from the U.S. Public Health
Service and is coordinated from the
Office of the Assistant Secretary for
Health, and various Public Health
Service regional offices. Within the
Public Health Service, the primary
response to a hazardous materials
emergency comes from Agency for
Toxic Substances and Disease
Registry (ATSDR) and the Centers
for Disease Control (CDC). Both
ATSDR and CDC have a 24-hour
emergency response capability
wherein scientific and technical
personnel are available to provide
technical assistance to the lead
federal agency and state and local
response agencies on human health
threat assessment and analysis, and
exposure prevention and mitigation.
Such assistance is used for situations
requiring evacuation of affected
areas, human exposure to hazardous
materials, and technical advice on
mitigation and prevention. CDC
takes the lead during petroleum
releases regulated under the CWA
and OPA while ATSDR takes the
lead during chemical releases under
CERCLA. Both agencies are
mutually supportive.
(ii) Other Public Health Service
agencies involved in support during
hazardous materials incidents either
directly or through ATSDR/CDC
include the Food and Drug
Administration, the Health Resources
and Services Administration, the
Indian Health Service, and the
National Institutes of Health.
(iii) Statutory authority for
HHS/National Institutes for
Environmental Health Sciences
(NIEHS) involvement in hazardous
materials accident prevention is
non-regulatory in nature and focused
on two primary areas for preventing
community and worker exposure to
hazardous materials releases: Worker
safety training and basic research
activities. Under section 126 of
SARA, NIEI-IS is given statutory
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 23
authority for supporting development
of curricula and model training
programs for waste workers and
chemical emergency responders.
Under section 118(b) of the
Hazardous Materials Transportation
and Uniform Safety Act (HMTUSA)
(49 U.S.C. 1802 et seq.), NIEHS
also administers the Hazmat
Employee Training Program to
prepare curricula and training for
hazardous materials transportation
workers. In the basic research arena,
NIEHS is authorized under section
311 of SARA to conduct a hazardous
substance basic research and training
program to evaluate toxic effects and
assess human health risks from
accidental releases of hazardous
materials. Under Title IX, section
901 (h) of the Clean Air Act
Amendments, NIEHS also is
authorized to conduct basic research
on air pollutants, as well as train
physicians in environmental health.
Federal research and training in
hazardous materials release
prevention represents an important
non-regulatory activity and
supplements ongoing private sector
programs.
(9) DOI may be contacted through
Regional Environmental Officers
(REOs), who are the designated
members of RRTs. Department land
managers have jurisdiction over the
national park system, national
wildlife refuges and fish hatcheries,

(DOJ) can provide expert advice on
complicated legal questions arising
from discharges or releases, and
federal agency responses. In addition,
the 1)0.1 represents the federal
government, including its agencies,
in litigation relating to such
discharges or releases. Other legal
issues or questions shall be directed •
to the federal agency counsel for the
agency providing the OSC/RPM for
the response.
(11) The Department of Labor
(DOL), through OSHA and the states
operating plans approved under
section 18 of the OSH Act, has
authority to conduct safety and health
inspections of hazardous waste sites
to assure that employees are being
protected and to determine if the site
is in compliance with:
(i) Safety and health standards and
regulations promulgated by OSHA
(or the states) in accordance with
section 126 of SARA and all other
applicable standards; and
(ii) Regulations promulgated under
the OSH Act and its general duty
clause. OSHA inspections may be
self-generated, consistent with its
program operations and objectives,
or may be conducted in response to
requests from EPA or another lead
agency, or in response to accidents or
employee complaints. OSHA may
also conduct inspections at hazardous
waste sites in those states with
approved plans that choose not to
exercise their jurisdiction to inspect
such sites. On request, OSHA will
provide advice and consultation to
EPA and other NRT/RRT agencies
as well as to the OSC/RPM regarding
hazards to persons engaged in
response activities. OSHA may also
take any other action necessary to
assure that employees are properly
protected at such response activities.
Any questions about occupational
safety and health at these sites may be
referred to the OSHA Regional
Office
(12) DOT provides response
expertise pertaining to transportation
of oil or hazardous substances by all
modes of transportation. Through the
Research and Special Programs
Administration (RSPA), DOT offers
expertise in the requirements for
packaging, handling, and transporting
regulated hazardous materials. DOT,
through RSPA, establishes oil
discharge contingency planning
requirements for pipelines, transport
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL AMD HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 24
by rail and containers or bulk
transport of oil.
(13) The Department of State
(DOS) will lead in the development
of international joint contingency
plans. It will also help to coordinate
an international response when
discharges or releases cross
international boundaries or involve
foreign flag vessels. Additionally,
DOS will coordinate requests for
assistance from foreign governments
and U.S. proposals for conducting
research at incidents that occur in
waters of other countries.
(14) The Nuclear Regulatory
Commission will respond, as
appropriate, to releases of radioactive
materials by its licensees, in
accordance with the NRC Incident
Response Plan (NUREG-0728) to
monitor the actions of those licensees
and assure that the public health and
environment are protected and
adequate recovery operations are
instituted. The Nuclear Regulatory
Commission will keep EPA informed
of any significant actual or potential
releases in accordance with
procedural agreements. In addition,
the Nuclear Regulatory Commission
will provide advice to the OSC/RPM
when assistance is required in
identifying the source and character
of other hazardous substance releases
where the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission has licensing authority
for activities utilizing radioactive
materials.
(15) The General Services
Administration (GSA) provides
logistic and telecommunications
support to federal agencies. During
an emergency situation, GSA quickly
responds to aid state and local
governments as directed by other
federal agencies. The type of support
provided might include leasing and
furnishing office space, setting up
telecommunications and
transportation services, and advisory
assistance.
§ 300.180 State and local
participation in response.
(a) Each state governor is
requested to designate one state
office/representative to represent the
state on the appropriate RRT. The
state's office/representative may
participate fully in all activities of the
appropriate RRT. Each state
governor is also requested to
designate a lead state agency that will
direct state-lead response operations.
This agency is responsible for
designating the lead slate response
official for federal and/or state-lead
response actions, and
coordinating/communicating with any
other state agencies, as appropriate.
Local governments are invited to
participate in activities on the
appropriate RRT as may be provided
by state law or arranged by the state's
representative. Indian tribes wishing
to participate should assign one
person or office to represent the tribal
government on the appropriate RRT.
(b) Appropriate local and state
officials (including Indian tribes) will
participate as part of the response
structure as provided in the ACP.
(c) In addition to meeting the
requirements for local emergency
plans under SARA section 303, state
and local government agencies are
encouraged to include contingency
planning for responses, consistent
with the NCP, RCP, and ACP in all
emergency and disaster planning.
(d) For facilities not addressed
under CERCLA or the CWA, stales
are encouraged lo undertake response
actions themselves or to use their
authorities to compel potentially
responsible parties to undertake
response actions.
(e) States are encouraged to enter
into cooperative agreements pursuant
to sections 104 (c)(3) and (d) of
CERCLA to enable them to
undertake actions authorized under
subpart E of the NCP. Requirements
for entering into these agreements are
included in subpart F of the NCP. A
state agency that acts pursuant to
such agreements is referred to as the
lead agency. In the event there is no
cooperative agreement, the lead
agency can be designated in a SMOA
or other agreement.
(0 Because slate and local public
safely organizations would normally
be the first government
representatives at the scene of a
discharge or release, they are
expected to initiate public safety
measures that are necessary to
protect public health and welfare and
that are consistent with containment
and cleanup requirements in the
NCP, and are responsible for
directing evacuations pursuant to
existing state or local procedures.
§ 300.185 Nongovernmental
participation.
(a) Industry groups, academic
organizations, and others are
encouraged to commit resources for
response operations. Specific
commitments should be listed in the
RCP and ACP. Those entities
required to develop tank vessel and
facility response plans under CWA
section 311 (j) must be able to
respond to a worst case discharge to
the maximum extent practicable, and
shall commit sufficient resources to
implement other aspects of those
plans in accordance with the
requirements of 30 CFR part 254, 33
CFR parts 150,154, and 155; 40
CFR part 112, and 49 CFR parts 171
and 194.
(b) The technical and scientific
information generated by the local
community, along with information
from federal, state, and local
governments, should be used to assist
the OSC/RPM in devising response
strategies where effective standard
techniques are unavailable. Such
information and strategies will be
incorporated into the ACP, as
appropriate. The SSC may act as
liaison between the OSC/RPM and
such interested organizations.
(c) ACPs shall establish procedures
to allow for well organized,
worthwhile, and safe use of
volunteers, including compliance
with § 300.150 regarding worker
health and safety. ACPs should
provide for the direction of
volunteers by the OSC/RPM or by
other federal, state, or local officials
knowledgeable in contingency
operations and capable of providing
leadership. ACPs also should identify
specific areas in which volunteers
can be used, such as beach
surveillance, logistical support, and
bird and wildlife treatment. Unless
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 25
specifically requested by the
OSC/RPM, volunteers generally
should not be used for physical
removal or remedial activities. If, in
the judgment of the OSC/RPM,
dangerous conditions exist,
volunteers shall be restricted from
on-scene operations.
(d) Nongovernmental participation
must be in compliance with the
requirements of subpart H of this part
if any recovery of costs will be
sought.
Subpart C-Planning and
Preparedness
§ 300.200 General.
This subpart summarizes

§ 300.210 Federal contingency
plans.
There are three levels of
contingency plans under the national
response system: The National
Contingency Plan, RCPs, and ACPs.
These plans are available for
inspection at EPA regional offices or
USCG district offices. Addresses and
telephone numbers for these offices
may be found in the United States
Government Manual, issued
annually, or in local telephone
directories.
(a) The National Contingency Plan.
The purpose and objectives,
authority, and scope of the NCP are
described in §§ 300.1 through 300.3.
(b) Regional Contingency Plans.
The RRTs, working with the states,
shall develop federal RCPs for each
standard federal region, Alaska,
Oceania in the Pacific, and the
Caribbean to coordinate timely,
effective response by various federal
agencies and other organizations to
discharges of oil or releases of
hazardous substances, pollutants, or
contaminants. RCPs shall, as
appropriate, include information on
all useful facilities and resources in
the region, from government,
commercial, academic, and other
sources. To the greatest extent
possible, RCPs shall follow the
format of the NCP and be
coordinated with state emergency
response plans, ACPs, which are
described in § 300.210(c), and Title

which are described in § 300.215.
Such coordination should be
accomplished by working with the
SERCs in the region covered by the
RCP. RCPs shall contain lines of
demarcation between the inland and
coastal zones, as mutually agreed
upon by USCG and EPA.
(c) Area Contingency Plans. (1)
Under the direction of an OSC and
subject to approval by the lead
agency, each Area Committee, in
consultation with the appropriate
RRTs, Coast Guard DRGs, the
NSFCC, SSCs, LEPCs, and SERCs,
shall develop an ACP for its
designated area. This plan, when
implemented in conjunction with
other provisions of the NCP, shall be
adequate to remove a worst case
discharge under § 300.324, and to
mitigate or prevent a substantial
threat of such a discharge, from a
vessel, offshore facility, or onshore
facility operating in or near the area.
(2) The areas of responsibility may
include several Title HI local
planning districts, or parts of such
districts. In developing the ACP, the
OSC shall coordinate with affected
SERCs and LEPCs. The ACP shall
provide for a well coordinated
response that is integrated and
compatible, to the greatest extent
possible, with all appropriate
response plans of state, local, and
non-federal entities, and especially
with Title III local emergency
response plans.
(3) The ACP shall include the
following:
(i) A description of the area
covered by the plan, including the
areas of special economic or
environmental importance that might
be damaged by a discharge;
(ii) A description in detail of the
responsibilities of an owner or
operator and of federal, state, and
local agencies in removing a
discharge, and in mitigating or
preventing a substantial threat of a
discharge;
(iii) A list of equipment (including
firefighting equipment), dispersants,
or other mitigating substances and
devices, and personnel available to
an owner or operator and federal,
state, and local agencies, to ensure an
effective and immediate removal of a
discharge, and to ensure mitigation or
prevention of a substantial threat of a
discharge (this may be provided in an
appendix or by reference to other
relevant emergency plans (e.g., state
or LEPC plans), which may include
such equipment lists);
(iv) A description of procedures to
be followed for obtaining an
expedited decision regarding the use
of dispersants; and
(v) A detailed description of how
the plan is integrated into other ACPs
and tank vessel, offshore facility, and
onshore facility response plans
approved by the President, and into
operating procedures of the NSFCC.
(4)(i) In order to provide for
coordinated, immediate and effective
protection, rescue, and rehabilitation
of, and minimization of risk of injury
to, fish and wildlife resources and
habitat, Area Committees shall
incorporate into each ACP a detailed
annex containing a Fish and Wildlife
and Sensitive Environments Plan that
is consistent with the RCP and NCP.
The annex shall be prepared in
consultation with the USFWS and
NOAA and other interested natural
resource management agencies and
parties. It shall address fish and
wildlife resources and their habitat,
and shall include other areas
considered sensitive environments in
a separate section of the annex, based
upon Area Committee
recommendations. The annex will
provide the necessary information
and procedures lo immediately and
effectively respond to discharges that
may adversely affect iish and wildlife
and their habitat and sensitive
environments, including provisions
for a response to a worst case
discharge. Such information shall
include the identification of
appropriate agencies and their
responsibilities, procedures to notify
these agencies following a discharge
or threat of a discharge, protocols for
obtaining required fish and wildlife
permits and other necessary permits,
and provisions to ensure
compatibility of annex-related
activities with removal operations,
(ii) The annex shall:
(A) Identify and establish priorities
for fish and wildlife resources and
their habitats and other important
sensitive areas requiring protection
from any direct or indirect effects
from discharges that may occur.
These effects include, but are not
limited to, any seasonal or historical
use, as well as all critical, special,
significant, or otherwise designated
protected areas.
(B) Provide a mechanism to be
used during a spill response for
timely identification of protection
priorities of those fish and wildlife
resources and habitats and sensitive
environmental areas that may be
threatened or injured by a discharge.
These include as appropriate, not
only marine and freshwater species,
habitats, and their food sources, but
also terrestrial wildlife and their
habitats that may be affected directly
by onshore oil or indirectly by
oil-related factors, such as loss or
contamination of forage. The
mechanism shall also provide for
expeditious evaluation and
appropriate consultations on the
effects to fish and wildlife, their
habitat, and other sensitive
environments from the application of
chemical countermeasures or other
countermeasures not addressed under
paragraph (e)(4)(iii).
(C) Identify potential
environmental effects on fish and
wildlife, their habitat, and other
sensitive environments resulting from
removal actions or countermeasures,
including the option of no removal.
Based on this evaluation of potential
environmental effects, the annex
should establish priorities for
application of countermeasure and
removal actions to habitats within the
geographic region of the ACP. The
annex should establish methods to
minimize the identified effects on fish
and wildlife because of response
activities, including, but not limited
to: Disturbance of sensitive areas and
habitats; illegal or inadvertent taking
or disturbance of fish and wildlife or
specimens by response personnel;
and fish and wildlife, their habitat,
and environmentally sensitive areas
coming in contact with various
cleaning or bioremediation agents.
Furthermore, the annex should
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL ANT) HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 27
identify the areas where the
movement of oiled debris may pose a
risk to resident, transient, or
migratory fish and wildlife, and other
sensitive environments and should
discuss measures to be considered for
removing such oiled debris in a
timely fashion to reduce such risk.
(D) Provide for pre-approval of
application of specific
countermeasures or removal actions
that, if expeditiously applied, will
minimize adverse spill-induced
impacts to fish and wildlife
resources, their habitat, and other
sensitive environments. Such
pre-approval plans must be
consistent with paragraphs (c)(4)(ii)
(B) and (C) of this section and
subpart J requirements, and must
have the concurrence of the natural
resource trustees.
(E) Provide monitoring plan(s) to
evaluate the effectiveness of different
countermeasures or removal actions
in protecting the environment.
Monitoring should include
set-aside" or'' control" areas, where
no mitigative actions are taken.
(F) Identify and plan for the
acquisition and utilization of
necessary response capabilities for
protection, rescue, and rehabilitation
of fish and wildlife resources and
habitat. This may include
appropriately permitted private
organizations and individuals with
appropriate expertise and experience.
The suitable organizations should be
identified in cooperation with natural
resource law enforcement agencies.
Such capabilities shall include, but
not be limited to, identification of
facilities and equipment necessary for
deterring sensitive fish and wildlife
from entering oiled areas, and for
capturing, holding, cleaning, and
releasing injured wildlife. Plans for
the provision of such capabilities
shall ensure that there is no
interference with other OSC removal
operations.
(G) Identify appropriate federal and
state agency contacts and alternates
responsible for coordination of fish
and wildlife rescue and rehabilitation
and protection of sensitive
environments; identify and provide
for required fish and wildlife
handling and rehabilitation permits
necessary under federal and state
laws; and provide guidance on the
implementation of law enforcement
requirements included under current
federal and state laws and
corresponding regulations.
Requirements include, but are not
limited to procedures regarding the
capture, transport, rehabilitation, and
release of wildlife exposed to or
threatened by oil, and disposal of
contaminated carcasses of wildlife.
(H) Identify and secure the means
for providing, if needed, the
minimum required OSHA and EPA
training for volunteers, including
those who assist with injured wildlife.
(I) Dclinc the requirements lor
evaluating the compatibility between
this annex and non-lederal response
plans (including those of vessels,
facilities, and pipelines) on issues
affecting fish and wildlife, their
habitat, and sensitive environments.
§300.211 OPA facility and vessel
response plans.
This section describes and
cross-references the regulations that
implement section 31 l(j)(5) of the
CWA. A tank vessel, as defined
under section 2101 of title 46, U.S.
Code, an offshore facility, and an
onshore facility that, because of its
location, could reasonably expect to
cause substantial harm to the
environment by discharging into or
on the navigable waters, adjoining
shorelines, or exclusive economic
zone must prepare and submit a plan
for responding, to the maximum
extent practicable, to a worst case
discharge, and to a substantial threat
of such a discharge, of oil or a
hazardous substance. These response
plans are required to be consistent
with applicable Area Contingency
Plans. These regulations are codified
as follows:
(a) For tank vessels, these
regulations are codified in 33 CFR
part 155;
(b) For offshore facilities, these
regulations are codified in 30 CFR
part 254;
(c) For non-transportation related
onshore facilities, these regulations
are codified in 40 CFR 112.20;
(d) For transportation-related
onshore facilities, these regulations
are codified in 33 CFR part 154;
(e) For pipeline facilities, these
regulations are codified in 49 CFR
part 194; and
(f) For rolling stock, these
regulations are codified in 49 CFR
part 106 et al.
§ 300.212 Area response drills.
The OSC periodically shall conduct
drills of removal capability (including
fish and wildlife response capability),
without prior notice, in areas for
which ACPs are required by §
300.210(c) and under relevant tank
vessel and facility response plans.
§300.215 Title III local
emergency response plans.
This section describes and
cross-references the regulations that
implement Title III. These
regulations are codified at 40 CFR
part 355.
(a) Each LEPC is to prepare an
emergency response plan in
accordance with section 303 of Title
III and review the plan once a year,
or more frequently as changed
circumstances in the community or at
any facility may require. Such Title
III local emergency response plans
should be closely coordinated with
applicable federal ACPs and state
emergency response plans.
(b) [Reserved]

Other related Title III requirements
are found in 40 CFR part 355.
Subpart D-Operational Response
Phases for Oil Removal
§ 300.300 Phase I-Discovery or
notification.
(a) A discharge of oil may be
discovered through:
(1) A report submitted by the
person in charge of a vessel or
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 28
facility, in accordance with statutory
requirements;
(2) Deliberate search by patrols;
(3) Random or incidental
observation by government agencies
or the public; or
(4) Other sources.
(b) Any person in charge of a
vessel or a facility shall, as soon as he
or she has knowledge of any
discharge from such vessel or facility
in violation of section 311 (b)(3) of
the CWA, immediately notify the
NRC. If direct reporting to the NRC
is not practicable, reports may be
made to the USCG or EPA
predesignated OSC for the
geographic area where the discharge
occurs. The EPA predesignated OSC
may also be contacted through the
regional 24-hour emergency
response telephone number. All such
reports shall be promptly relayed to
the NRC. If it is not possible to notify
the NRC or predesignated OSC
immediately, reports may be made
immediately to the nearest Coast
Guard unit. In any event such person
in charge of the vessel or facility shall
notify the NRC as soon as possible.
(c) Any other person shall, as
appropriate, notify the NRC of a
discharge of oil.
(d) Upon receipt of a notification of
discharge, the NRC shall promptly
notify the OSC. The OSC shall
ensure notification of the appropriate
state agency of any state which is, or
may reasonably be expected to be,
affected by the discharge. The OSC
shall then proceed with the following
phases as outlined in the RCP and
ACP.
§ 300.305 Phase II-Prcliminary
assessment and initiation of action.
(a) The OSC is responsible for
promptly initiating a preliminary
assessment.
(b) The preliminary assessment
shall be conducted using available
information, supplemented where
necessary and possible by an
on-scene inspection. The OSC shall
undertake actions to:
(1) Evaluate the magnitude and
severity of the discharge or threat to
public health or welfare of the United
States or the environment;
(2) Assess the feasibility of
removal; and
(3) To the extent practicable,
identify potentially responsible
parties.
(c) Where practicable, the
framework for the response
management structure is a system
(e.g., a unified command system),
that brings together the functions of
the federal government, the state
government, and the responsible
party to achieve an effective and
efficient response, where the OSC
maintains authority.
(d) Except in a case when the OSC
is required to direct the response to a
discharge that may pose a substantial
threat to the public health or welfare
of the United States (including but
not limited to fish, shellfish, wildlife,
other natural resources, and the
public and private beaches and
shorelines of the United States), the
OSC may allow the responsible party
to voluntarily and promptly perform
removal actions, provided the OSC
determines such actions will ensure
an effective and immediate removal
of the discharge or mitigation or
prevention of a substantial threat of a
discharge. If the responsible party
does conduct the removal, the OSC
shall ensure adequate surveillance
over whatever actions are initiated. If
effective actions are not being taken
to eliminate the threat, or if removal
is not being properly done, the OSC
should, to the extent practicable
under the circumstances, so advise
the responsible party. If the
responsible party does not respond
properly the OSC shall take
appropriate response actions and
should notify the responsible party of
the potential liability for federal
response costs incurred by the OSC
pursuant to the OP A and CWA.
Where practicable, continuing efforts
should be made to encourage
response by responsible parties.
(1) In carrying out a response under
this section, the OSC may:
(i) Remove or arrange for the
removal of a discharge, and mitigate
or prevent a substantial threat of a
discharge, at any time;
(ii) Direct or monitor all federal,
slate, and private actions to remove a
discharge; and
(iii) Remove and, if necessary,
destroy a vessel discharging, or
threatening to discharge, by whatever
means are available.
(2) If the discharge results in a
substantial threat to the public health
or welfare of the United States
(including, but not limited to fish,
shellfish, wildlife, other natural
resources, and the public and private
beaches and shorelines of the United
States), the OSC must direct all
response efforts, as provided in §
300.322(b) of this part. The OSC
should declare as expeditiously as
practicable to spill response
participants that the federal
government will direct the response.
The OSC may act without regard to
any other provision of the law
governing contracting procedures or
employment of personnel by the
federal government in removing or
arranging for the removal of such a
discharge.
(e) The OSC shall ensure that the
natural resource trustees are
promptly notified in the event of any
discharge of oil, to the maximum
extent practicable as provided in the
Fish and Wildlife and Sensitive
Environments Plan annex to the ACP
for the area in which the discharge
occurs. The OSC and the trustees
shall coordinate assessments,
evaluations, investigations, and
planning with respect to appropriate
removal actions. The OSC shall
consult with the affected trustees on
the appropriate removal action to be
taken. The U-ustees will provide
timely advice concerning
recommended actions with regard to
trustee resources potentially affected.
The trustees also will assure that the
OSC is informed of their activities in
natural resource damage assessment
that may affect response operations.
The trustees shall assure, through the
lead administrative trustee, that all
data from the natural resource
damage assessment activities that
may support more effective
operational decisions are provided in
a timely manner to the OSC. When
circumstances permit, the OSC shall
share the use of non-monetary
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 29
response resources (i.e., personnel
and equipment) with the trustees,
provided trustee activities do not
interfere with response actions. The
lead administrative trustee facilitates
effective and efficient communication
between the OSC and the other
trustees during response operations
and is responsible for applying to the
OSC for non-monetary federal
response resources on behalf of all
trustees. The lead administrative
trustee is also responsible for
applying to the NPFC for funding for
initiation of damage assessment for
injuries to natural resources.
§300.310 Phase
Ill-Containment,
countermeasures, cleanup, and
disposal.
(a) Defensive actions shall begin as
soon as possible to prevent,
minimize, or mitigate threat(s) to the
public health or welfare of the United
States or the environment Actions
may include but are not limited to:
Analyzing water samples to
determine the source and spread of
the oil; controlling the source of
discharge; measuring and sampling,
source and spread control or salvage
operations; placement of physical
barriers to deter the spread of the oil
and to protect natural resources and
sensitive ecosystems; control of the
water discharged from upstream
impoundment; and the use of
chemicals and other materials in
accordance with subpart J of this part
to restrain the spread of the oil and
mitigate its effects. The ACP
prepared under § 300.210(c) should
be consulted for procedures to be
followed for obtaining an expedited
decision regarding the use of
dispersants and other products listed
on the NCP Product Schedule.
(b) As appropriate, actions shall be
taken to recover the oil or mitigate Ik
effects. Of the numerous chemical or
physical methods that may be used,
the chosen methods shall be the most
consistent with protecting public
health and welfare and the
environment. Sinking agents shall not
be used.
(c) Oil and contaminated materials
recovered in cleanup operations shall
be disposed of in accordance with the
RCP, ACP, and any applicable laws,
regulations, or requirements. RRT
and Area Committee guidelines may
identify the disposal options available
during an oil spill response and may
describe what disposal requirements
are mandatory or may not be waived
by the OSC. ACP guidelines should
address: the sampling, testing, and
classifying of recovered oil and oiled
debris; the segregation, temporary
storage, and stockpiling of recovered
oil and oiled debris; prior state
disposal approvals and permits; and
the routes; methods (e.g.
recycle/reuse, on-site burning,
incineration, landfilling, etc.); and
sites for the disposal of collected oil,
oiled debris, and animal carcasses,
and procedures for obtaining
waivers, exemptions, or
authorizations associated with
handling or transporting waste
materials. The ACPs may identify a
hierarchy of preferences for disposal
alternatives, with recycling
(reprocessing) being the most
preferred, and other alternatives
preferred based on priorities for
health or the environment.
§300.315 Phase
IV-Documentation and cost
recovery.
(a) All OSLTF users need to collect
and maintain documentation to
support all actions taken under the
CWA. In general, documentation
shall be sufficient to support full cost
recovery for resources utilized and
shall identity the source and
circumstances of the incidenl, the
responsible party or parties, and
impacts and potential impacts to
public health and welfare and the
environment. Documentation
procedures are contained in 33 CFR
part 136.
(b) When appropriate,
documentation shall also be collected
for scientific understanding of the
environment and for research and
development of improved response
methods and technology. Funding for
these actions is restricted by section
6002 of the OP A.
(c) OSCs shall submit OSC reports
to the NRT or RRT, only if
requested, as provided by § 300.165.
(d) OSCs shall ensure the
necessary collection and safeguarding
of information, samples, and reports.
Samples and information shall be
gathered expeditiously during the
response to ensure an accurate record
of the impacts incurred.
Documentation materials shall be
made available to the trustees of
affected natural resources. The OSC
shall make available to trustees of the
affected natural resources
information and documentation in the
OSC's possession that can assist the
trustees in the determination of actual
or potential natural resource injuries.
(e) Information and reports
obtained bv the EPA or USCG OSC
shall be transmitted to the
appropriate offices responsible for
follow-up actions.
§ 300.317 National response
priorities.
(a) Safety of human life must be
given the top priority during every
response action. This includes any
search and rescue efforts in the
general proximity of the discharge
and the insurance of safety of
response personnel.
(b) Stabilizing the situation to
preclude the event from worsening is
the next priority. All efforts must be
focused on saving a vessel that has
been involved in a grounding,
collision, fire, or explosion, so that it
does not compound the problem.
Comparable measures should be
taken to stabilize a situation
involving a facility, pipeline, or other
source of pollution. Stabilizing the
situation includes securing the source
of the spill and/or removing the
remaining oil from the container
(vessel, tank, or pipeline) to prevent
additional oil spillage, to reduce the
need for follow-up response action,
and to minimize adverse impact to
the environment.
(c) The response must use all
necessary containment and removal
tactics in a coordinated manner to
ensure a timely, effective response
that minimizes adverse impact to the
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 30
environment.
(d) All parts of this national
response strategy should be
addressed concurrently, but safety
and stabilization are the highest
priorities. The OSC should not delay
containment and removal decisions
unnecessarily and should take actions
to minimize adverse impact to the
environment that begins as soon as a
discharge occurs, as well as actions
to minimize further adverse
environmental-impact from additional
discharges.
(e) The priorities set forth in this
section are broad in nature, and
should not be interpreted to preclude
the consideration of other priorities
that may arise on a site-specific basis.
§ 300.320 General pattern of
response.
(a) When the OSC receives a
report of a discharge, actions
normally should be taken in the
following sequence:
(1) Investigate the report to
determine pertinent information such
as the threat posed to public health or
welfare of the United States or the
environment, the type and quantity of
polluting material, and the source of
the discharge.
(2) Officially classify the size (i.e.,
minor, medium, major) and type (i.e.,
substantial threat to the public health
or welfare of the United States, worst
case discharge) of the discharge and
determine the course of action to be
followed to ensure effective and
immediate removal, mitigation, or
prevention of the discharge. Some
discharges that are classified as a
substantial threat to the public health
or welfare of the United States may
be further classified as a spill of
national significance by the ,
Administrator of EPA or the
Commandant of the USCG. The
appropriate course of action may be
prescribed in §§ 300.322, 300.323,
and 300.324.
(i) When the reported discharge is
an actual or potential major
discharge, the OSC shall immediately
notify the RRT and the NRC.
(ii) When the investigation shows
that an actual or potential medium
discharge exists, the OSC shall
recommend activation of the RRT, if
appropriate.
(iii) When the investigation shows
that an actual or potential minor
discharge exists, the OSC shall
monitor the situation to ensure that
proper removal action is being taken.
(3) If the OSC determines that
effective and immediate removal,
mitigation, or prevention of a
discharge can be achieved by private
party efforts, and where the discharge
does not pose a substantial threat to
the public health or welfare of the
United States, determine whether the
responsible party or other person is
properly carrying out removal.
Removal is being done properly
when:
(i) The responsible party is
applying the resources called lor in
its response plan to effectively and
immediately remove, minimize, or
mitigate threat(s) to public health and
welfare and the environment; and
(ii) The removal efforts are in
accordance with applicable
regulations, including the NCP. Even
if the OSC supplements responsible
party resources with government
resources, the spill response will not
be considered improper, unless
specifically determined by the OSC.
(4) Where appropriate, determine
whether a state or political
subdivision thereof has the capability
to carry out any or all removal
actions. If so, the OSC may arrange
funding to support these actions.
(5) Ensure prompt notification of
the trustees of affected natural
resources in accordance with the
applicable RCP and ACP.
(b) Removal shall be considered
complete when so determined by the
OSC in consultation with the
Governor or Governors of the
affected states. When the OSC
considers removal complete, OSLTF
removal funding shall end. This
determination shall not preclude
additional removal actions under
applicable state law.
§ 300.322 Response to substantial
threats to public health or welfare
of the United States.
(a) As part of the investigation
described in § 300.320, the OSC
shall determine whether a discharge
results in a substantial threat to
public health or welfare of the United
States (including, but not limited to,
fish, shellfish, wildlife, other natural
resources, and the public and private
beaches and shorelines of the United
States). Factors to be considered by
the OSC in making this
determination include, but are not
limited to, the size of the discharge,
the character of the discharge, and
the nature of the threat to public
health or welfare of the United States.
Upon obtaining such information, the
OSC shall conduct an evaluation of
the threat posed, based on the OSC's
experience in assessing other
discharges, and consultation with
senior lead agency officials and
readily available authorities on issues
outside the OSC's technical expertise
(b) If the investigation by the OSC
shows that the discharge poses or
may present a substantial threat to
public health or welfare of the United
States, the OSC shall direct all
federal, state, or private actions to
remove the discharge or to mitigate
or prevent the threat of such a
discharge, as appropriate. In
directing the response in such cases,
the OSC may act without regard to
any other provision of law governing
contracting procedures or
employment of personnel by the
federal government to:
(1) Remove or arrange for the
removal of the discharge;
(2) Mitigate or prevent the
substantial threat of the discharge;
and
(3) Remove and, if necessary,
destroy a vessel discharging, or
threatening to discharge, by whatever
means are available.
(c) In the case of a substantial
threat to public health or welfare of
the United States, the OSC shall:
(1) Assess opportunities for the use
of various special teams and other
assistance described in § 300.145,
including the use of the services of
the NSFCC, as appropriate;
(2) Request immediate activation of
the RRT; and
(3) Take whatever additional
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL ANT) HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 31
response actions are deemed
appropriate, including, but not
limited to, implementation of the
ACP as required by section 311 (j)(4)
of the CWA or relevant tank vessel
or facility response plan required by
section 31 l(j)(5) of the CWA. When
requested by the OSC, the lead
agency or RRT shall dispatch
appropriate personnel to the scene of
the discharge to assist the OSC. This
assistance may include technical
support in the agency's areas of
expertise and disseminating
information to the public. The lead
agency shall ensure that a contracting
officer is available on scene, at the
request of the OSC.
§ 300.323 Spills of national
significance
(a) A discharge may be classified
as a spill of national significance
(SONS) by the Administrator of EPA
for discharges occurring in the inland
zone and the Commandant of the
USCG for discharges occurring in
the coastal zone.
(b) For a SONS in the inland zone,
the EPA Administrator may name a
senior Agency official to assist the
OSC in communicating with affected
parties and the public and
coordinating federal, state, local, and
international resources at the national
level. This strategic coordination will
involve, as appropriate, the NRT,
RRT(s), the Governor(s) of affected
state(s), and the mayor(s) or other
chief executive(s) of local
govemment(s).
(c) For a SONS in the coastal zone,
the USCG Commandant may name a
National Incident Commander (NIC)
who will assume the role of the OSC
in communicating with affected
parties and the public, and
coordinating federal, state, local, and
international resources at the national
level. This strategic coordination will
involve, as appropriate, the NRT,
RRT(s), the Governors) of affected
state(s), and the mayor(s) or other
chief executive(s) of local
govemment(s).
§ 300.324 Response to worst case
discharges.
(a) If the investigation by the OSC
shows that a discharge is a worst case
discharge as defined in the ACP, or
there is a substantial threat of such a
discharge, the OSC shall:
(1) Notify the NSFCC;
(2) Require, where applicable,
implementation of the worst case
portion of an approved tank vessel or
facility response plan required by
section 31 l(j)(5) of the CWA;
(3) Implement the worst case
portion of the ACP required by
section 311 (j)(4) of the CWA; and
(4) Take whatever additional
response actions are deemed
appropriate.
(b) Under the direction of the OSC,
the NSFCC shall coordinate use of
private and public personnel and
equipment, including strike teams, to
remove a worst case discharge and
mitigate or prevent a substantial
threat of such a discharge.
§ 300.335 Funding.
(a) The OSLTF is available under
certain circumstances to fund
removal of oil performed under
section 311 of the CWA. Those
circumstances and the procedures for
accessing the OSLTF are described
in 33 CFR part 136. The responsible
party is liable for costs of federal
removal and damages in accordance
with section 311(f) of the CWA,
section 1002 of the OP A, and other
federal laws.
(b) Where the OSC requests
assistance from a federal agency, that
agency may be reimbursed in
accordance with the provisions of 33
CFR part 136. Specific interagency
reimbursement agreements may be
used when necessaiy to ensure that
the federal resources will be
available for a timely response to a
discharge of oil.
(c) Procedures for funding the
initiation of natural resource damage
assessment are covered in 33 CFR
part 136.
(d) Response actions other than
removal, such as scientific
investigations not in support of
removal actions or law enforcement,
shall be provided by the agency with
legal responsibility for those specific
actions.
(e) The funding of a response to a
discharge from a federally owned,
operated, or supervised facility or
vessel is the responsibility of the
owning, operating, or supervising
agency if it is a responsible party.
(f) The following agencies have
funds available for certain discharge
removal actions:
(1) DOD has two specific sources
of funds that may be applicable to an
oil discharge under appropriate
circumstances. This does not
consider military resources that might
be made available under specific
conditions.
(1) Funds required for removal of a
sunken vessel or similar obstruction
of navigation are available to the
Corps of Engineers through Civil
Works Appropriations, Operations
and Maintenance, General.
(ii) USN may conduct salvage
operations contingent on defense
operational commitments, when
funded by the requesting agency.
Such funding may be requested on a
direct cite basis.
(2) Pursuant to Title I of the OP A,
the state or states affected by a
discharge of oil may act where
necessary to remove such discharge.
Pursuant to 33 CFR part 136 states
may be reimbursed from the OSLTF
for the reasonable costs incurred in
such a removal.
Subpart E-Hazardous
Substance Response
Source: 55 FR 8839, Mar. 8, 1990,
unless otherwise noted.
§ 300.400 General.
(a) This subpart establishes
methods and criteria for determining
the appropriate extent of response
authorized by CERCLA and CWA
section 311(c):
(1) When there is a release of a
hazardous substance into the
environment; or
(2) When there is a release into the
environment of any pollutant or
contaminant that may present an
imminent and substantial danger to
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL Ai ;D HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 32
the public health or welfare of the
United States.
(b) Limitations on response. Unless
the lead agency determines that a
release constitutes a public health a
environmental emergency and no
other person with the authority and
capability to respond will do so in a
timely manner, a removal or remedial
action under section 104 of CERCLA
shall not be undertaken in response
to a release:
(1) Of a naturally occurring
substance in its unaltered form, or
altered solely through naturally
occurring processes or phenomena,
from a location where it is naturally
found;
(2) From products that are part of
the structure of, and result in
exposure within, residential buildings
or business or community structures;
or
(3) Into public or private drinking
water supplies due to deterioration of
the system through ordinary use.
(c) Fund-financed action. In
determining the need for and in
planning or undertaking
Fund-financed action, the lead agency
shall, to the extent practicable:
(1) Engage in prompt response;
(2) Provide for state participation in
response actions, as described in
subpart F of this part;
(3) Conserve Fund monies by
encouraging private party response;
(4) Be sensitive to local community
concerns;
(5) Consider using treatment
technologies;
(6) Involve the Regional Response
Team (RRT) in both removal and
remedial response actions at
appropriate decision-making stages;
(7) Encourage the involvement and
sharing of technology by industry and
other experts; and
(8) Encourage the involvement of
organizations to coordinate
responsible party actions, foster site
response, and provide technical
advice to the public, federal and state
governments, and industry.
(d) Entry and access. (1) For
purposes of determining the need for
response, or choosing or taking a
response action, or otherwise
enforcing the provisions of
CERCLA, EPA, or the appropriate
federal agency, and a state or political
subdivision operating pursuant to a
contract or cooperative agreement
under CERCLA section 104(d)(1),
has the authority to enter any vessel,
facility, establishment or other place,
property, or location described in
paragraph (d)(2) of this section and
conduct, complete, operate, and
maintain any response actions
authorized by CERCLA or these
regulations.
(2)(i) Under the authorities
described in paragraph (d)( 1) of this
section, EPA, or the appropriate
federal agency, and a state or political
subdivision operating pursuant to a
contract or cooperative agreement
under CERCLA section 104(d)(1),
may enter:
(A) Any vessel, facility,
establishment, or other place or
property where any hazardous
substance or pollutant or contaminant
may be or has been generated, stored,
treated, disposed of, or transported
from;
(B) Any vessel, facility,
establishment, or other place or
property from which, or to which, a
hazardous substance or pollutant or
contaminant has been, or may have
been, released or where such release
is or may be threatened;
(C) Any vessel, facility,
establishment, or other place or
property where entry is necessary to
determine the need for response or
the appropriate response or to
effectuate a response action; or
(D) Any vessel, facility,
establishment, or other place,
property, or location adjacent to those
vessels, facilities, establishments,
places, or properties described in
paragraphs (d)(2)(i)(A), (B), or (C)
of this section.
(ii) Once a determination has been
made that there is a reasonable basis
to believe that there has been or may
be a release, EPA, or the appropriate
federal agency, and a state or political
subdivision operating pursuant to a
contract or cooperative agreement
under CERCLA section 104(d)(1), is
authorized to enter all vessels,
facilities, establishments, places,
properties, or locations specified in
paragraph (d)(2)(i) of this section, at
which the release is believed to be,
and all other vessels, facilities,
establishments, places, properties, or
locations identified in paragraph
(d)(2)(i) of this section that are
related to the response or are
necessary to enter in responding to
that release.
(3) The lead agency may designate
as its representative solely for the
purpose of access, among others, one
or more potentially responsible
parties, including representatives,
employees, agents, and contractors of
such parties. EPA, or the appropriate
federal agency, may exercise the
authority contained in section 104(e)
of CERCLA to obtain access for its
designated representative. A
potentially responsible party may
only be designated as a representative
of the lead agency where that
potentially responsible party has
agreed to conduct response activities
pursuant to an administrative order or
consent decree.
(4)(i) If consent is not granted under
the authorities described in paragraph
(d)(1) of this section, or if consent is
conditioned in any manner, EPA, or
the appropriate federal agency, may
issue an order pursuant to section
104(e)(5) of CERCLA directing
compliance with the request for
access made under § 300.400(d)(1).
EPA or the appropriate federal
agency may ask the Attorney General
to commence a civil action to compel
compliance with either a request for
access or an order directing
compliance.
(ii) EPA reserves the right to
proceed, where appropriate, under
applicable authority other than
CERCLA section 104(e).
(iii) The administrative order may
direct compliance with a request to
enter or inspect any vessel, facility,
establishment, place, property, or
location described in paragraph
(d)(2) of this section.
(iv) Each order shall contain:
(A) A determination by EPA, or the
appropriate federal agency, that it is
reasonable to believe that there may
be or has been a release or threat of a
release of a hazardous substance or
pollutant or contaminant and a
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 33
statement of the facts upon which the
determination is based;
(B) A description, in light of
CERCLA response authorities, of the
purpose and estimated scope and
duration of the entry, including a
description of the specific anticipated
activities to be conducted pursuant to
the order;
(C) A provision advising the person
who failed to consent that an officer
or employee of the agency that issued
the order will be available to confer
with respondent prior to effective
date of the order, and
(D) A provision advising the person
who failed to consent that a court
may impose a penalty of up to
$25,000 per day for unreasonable
failure to comply with the order.
(v) Orders shall be served upon the
person or responsible party who
failed to consent prior to their
effective date. Force shall not be used
to compel compliance with an order.
(vi) Orders may not be issued for
any criminal investigations.
(e) Permit requirements. (1) No
federal, state, or local permits are
required for on-site response actions
conducted pursuant to CERCLA
sections 104, 106, 120, 121, or 122.
The term on-site means the areal
extent of contamination and all
suitable areas in very close proximity
to the contamination necessary for
implementation of the response
action.
(2) Permits, if required, shall be
obtained for all response activities
conducted off-site.
(f) Health assessments. Health
assessments shall be performed by
ATSDR at facilities on or proposed
to be listed on the NPL and may be
performed at other releases or
facilities in response to petitions
made to ATSDR. Where available,
these health assessments may be used
by the lead agency to assist in
determining whether response
actions should be taken and/or to
identify the need for additional
studies to assist in the assessment of
potential human health effects
associated with releases or potential
releases of hazardous substances.
(g) Identification of applicable or
relevant and appropriate
requirements. (1) The lead and
support agencies shall identify
requirements applicable to the
release or remedial action
contemplated based upon an
objective determination of whether
the requirement specifically
addresses a hazardous substance,
pollutant, contaminant, remedial
action, location, or other
circumstance found at a CERCLA
site.
(2) If, based upon paragraph (g)(1)
of this section, it is determined that a
requirement is not applicable to a
specific release, the requirement may
still be relevant and appropriate to
the circumstances of the release. In
evaluating relevance and
appropriateness, the factors in
paragraphs (g)(2)(i) through (viii) of
this section shall be examined, where
pertinent, to determine whether a
requirement addresses problems or
situations sufficiently similar to the
circumstances of the release or
remedial action contemplated, and
whether the requirement is
well-suited to the site, and therefore
is both relevant and appropriate. The
pertinence of each of the following
factors will depend, in part, on
whether a requirement addresses a
chemical, location, or action. The
following comparisons shall be
made, where pertinent, to determine
relevance and appropriateness:
(i) The purpose of the requirement
and the purpose of the CERCLA
action;
(ii) The medium regulated or
affected bv the requirement and the
medium contaminated or afiectcd at
the CKRCLA site;
(iii) The substances regulated by the
requirement and the substances found
at the CERCLA site;
(iv) The actions or activities
regulated by the requirement and the
remedial action contemplated at the
CERCLA site;
(v) Any variances, waivers, or
exemptions of the requirement and
their availability for the
circumstances at the CERCLA site;
(vi) The type of place regulated and
the type of place affected by the
release or CERCLA action;
(vii) The type and size of structure
or facility regulated and the type and
size of structure or facility affected by
the release or contemplated by the
CERCLA action;
(viii) Any consideration of use or
potential use of affected resources in
the requirement and the use or
potential use of the affected resource
at the CERCLA site.
(3) In addition to applicable or
relevant and appropriate
requirements, the lead and support
agencies may, as appropriate, identify
other advisories, criteria, or guidance
to be considered for a particular
release. The "to be considered"
(TBC) category consists of
advisories, criteria, or guidance that
were developed by EPA, other
federal agencies, or states that may be
useful in developing CERCLA
remedies.
(4) Only those state standards that
are promulgated, are identified by the
state in a timely manner, and are
more stringent than federal
requirements may be applicable or
relevant and appropriate. For
purposes of identification and
notification of promulgated state
standards, the term promulgated
means that the standards are of
general applicability and are legally
enforceable.
(5) The lead agency and support
agency shall identify their specific
requirements that are applicable or
relevant and appropriate for a
particular site. These agencies shall
notify' each other, in a timely manner
as described in § 300.515(d), of the
requirements they have determined to
be applicable or relevant and
appropriate. When identifying a
requirement as an ARAR, the lead
agency and support agency shall
include a citation to the statute or
regulation from which the
requirement is derived.
(6) Notification of ARARs shall be
according to procedures and
timeframes specified in § 300.515
(d)(2) and (h)(2).
(h) Oversight. The lead agency may
provide oversight for actions taken by
potentially responsible parties to
ensure that a response is conducted
consistent with this part. The lead
agency may also monitor the actions
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 34
of third parties preauthorized under
subpart H of this part. EPA will
provide oversight when the response
is pursuant to an EPA order or
federal consent decree.
(1) Other. (1) This subpart does not
establish any preconditions to
enforcement action by either the
federal or state governments to
compel response actions by
potentially responsible parties.
(2) While much of this subpart is
oriented toward federally funded
response actions, this subpart may be
used as guidance concerning methods
and criteria for response actions by
other parties under other funding
mechanisms. Except as provided in
subpart H of this part, nothing in this
part is intended to limit the rights of
any person to seek recovery of
response costs from responsible
parties pursuant to CERCLA section
107.
(3) Activities by the federal and
state governments in implementing
this subpart are discretional}
governmental functions. This subpart
does not create in any private party a
right to federal response or
enforcement action. This subpart
does not create any duty of the federal
government to take any response
action at any particular time.
§ 300.405 Discovery or
notification.
(~) A release may be discovered
through:
(1) A report submitted in
accordance with section 103(a) of
CERCLA, i.e., reportable quantities
codified at 40 CFR part 302;
(2) A report submitted to EPA in
accordance with section 103(c) of
CERCLA;
(3) Investigation by government
authorities conducted in accordance
with section 104(e) of CERCLA or
other statutory authority;
(4) Notification of a release by a
federal or state permit holder when
required by its permit;
(5) Inventory or survey efforts or
random or incidental observation
reported by government agencies or
the public;
(~) Submission of a citizen petition
to EPA or the appropriate federal
facility requesting a preliminary
assessment, in accordance with
section 105(d) of CERCLA.
(7) A report submitted in
accordance with section 311 (b)(5) of
the CWA; and
(8) Other sources.
(b) Any person in charge of a vessel
or a facility shall report releases as
described in paragraph (a)(1) of this
section to the National Response
Center (NRC). If direct reporting to
the NRC is not practicable, reports
may be made to the United States
Coast Guard (USCG) on-scene
coordinator (OSC) for the geographic
area where the release occurs. The
EPA predesignated OSC may also be
contacted through the regional
24-hour emergency response
telephone number. All such reports
shall be promptly relayed to the
NRC. If it is not possible to notify the
NRC or predesignated OSC
immediately, reports may be made
immediately to the nearest USCG
unit. In any event, such person in
charge of the vessel or facility shall
notify the NRC as soon as possible.
(c) All other reports of releases
described under paragraph (a) of this
section, except releases reported
under paragraphs (a) (2) and (6) of
this section, shall, as appropriate, be
made to the NRC.
(d) The NRC will generally need
information that will help to
characterize the release. This will
include, but not be limited to:
Location of the release; type(s) of
material(s) released; an estimate of
the quantity of material released;
possible source of the release; and
date and time of the release.
Reporting under paragraphs (b) and
(c) of this section shall not be delayed
due to incomplete notification
information.
(e) Upon receipt of a notification of
a release, the NRC shall promptly
notify the appropriate OSC. The
OSC shall notify the Governor, or
designee, of the state affected bv the
release.
(f)(1) When the OSC is notified of a
release that may require response
pursuant to § 300.415(b), a removal
site evaluation shall, as appropriate,
be promptly undertaken pursuant to §
300.410.
(2) When notification indicates that
removal action pursuant to §
300.415(b) is not required, a
remedial site evaluation shall, if
appropriate, be undertaken by the
lead agency pursuant to § 300.420, if
one has not already been performed.
(3) If radioactive substances are
present in a release, the EPA
Radiological Response Coordinator
should be notified for evaluation and
assistance either directly or via the
NRC, consistent with §§ 300.130(e)
and 300.145(f).
(g) Release notification made to the
NRC under this section does not
relieve the owner/operator of a
facility from any obligations to which
it is subject under SARA Title III or
state law. In particular, it does not
relieve the owner/operator from the
requirements of section 304 of
SARA Title III and 40 CFR part 355
and § 300.215(f) of this part for
notifying the community emergency
coordinator for the appropriate local
emergency planning committee of all
aficcted areas and the state
emergency response commission of
any state affected that there has been
a release. Federal agencies are not
legally obligated to comply with the
requirements of Title III of SARA.
§300.410 Removal site
evaluation.
(a) A removal site evaluation
includes a removal preliminary
assessment and, if warranted, a
removal site inspection.
(b) A removal site evaluation of a
release identified for possible
CERCLA response pursuant to §
300.415 shall, as appropriate, be
undertaken by the lead agency as
promptly as possible. The lead
agency may perform a removal
preliminary assessment in response
to petitions submitted by a person
who is, or may be, affected by a
release of a hazardous substance,
pollutant, or contaminant pursuant to
§ 300.420(b)(5).
(c)(1) The lead agency shall, as
appropriate, base the removal
preliminary assessment on readily
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 35
available information. A removal
preliminary assessment may include,
but is not limited to:
(1) Identification of the source and
nature of the release or threat of
release;
(ii) Evaluation by ATSDR or by
other sources, for example, state
public health agencies, of the threat
to public health;
(iii) Evaluation of the magnitude of
the threat;
(iv) Evaluation of factors necessary
to make the determination of whether
a removal is necessary; and
(v) Determination of whether a
nonfederal party is undertaking
proper response.
(2) A removal preliminary
assessment of releases from
hazardous waste management
facilities may include collection or
review of data such as site
management practices, information
from generators, photographs,
analysis of historical photographs,
literature searches, and personal
interviews conducted, as appropriate.
(d) A removal site inspection may
be performed if more information is
needed. Such inspection may include
a perimeter (i.e., off-site) or on-site
inspection, taking into consideration
whether such inspection can be
performed safely.
(e)(1) As part of the evaluation
under this section, the OSC shall
determine whether a release
governed by CWA section 311 (c)(1),
as amended by OPA section 4201 (a),
has occurred.
(2) If such a release of a CWA
hazardous substance has occurred,
the OSC shall determine whether the
release results in a substantial threat
to the public health or welfare of the
United States. Factors to be
considered by the OSC in making
this determination include, but are
not limited to, the size of the release,
the character of the release, and the
nature of the threat to public health or
welfare of the United States. Upon
obtaining relevant elements of such
information, the OSC shall conduct
an evaluation of the threat posed,
based on the OSC's experience in
assessing other releases, and
consultation with senior lead agency
officials and readily available
authorities on issues outside the
OSC's technical expertise.
(f) A removal site evaluation shall
be terminated when the OSC or lead
agency determines:
(1) There is no release;
(2) The source is neither a vessel
nor a facility as defined in § 300.5 of
the NCP;
(3) The release involves neither a
hazardous substance, nor a pollutant
or contaminant that may present an
imminent and substantial danger to
public health or welfare of the United
States;
(4) The release consists of a
situation specified in § 300.400(b)
(1) through (3) subject to limitations
on response;
(5) The amount, quantity, or
concentration released does not
warrant federal response;
(6) A party responsible for the
release, or any other person, is
providing appropriate response, and
on-scene monitoring by the
government is not required; or
(7) The removal site evaluation is
completed.
(g) The results of the removal site
evaluation shall be documented.
(h) The OSC or lead agency shall
ensure that natural resource trustees
are promptly notified in order that
they may initiate appropriate actions,
including those identified in Subpart
G of this part. The OSC or lead
agency shall coordinate all response
activities with such affected trustees.
(i) If the removal site evaluation
indicates that removal action under §
300.415 is not required, but that
remedial action under § 300.430 may
be necessary, the lead agency shall,
as appropriate, initiate a remedial site
evaluation pursuant to § 300.420.
§300.415 Removal action.
(a)(1) In determining the
appropriate extent of action to be
taken in response to a given release,
the lead agency shall first review the
removal site evaluation, any
information produced through a
remedial site evaluation, if any has
been done previously, and the current
site conditions, to determine if
removal action is appropriate.
(2) Where the responsible parties
are known, an effort initially shall be
made, to the extent practicable, to
determine whether they can and will
perform the necessary removal action
promptly and properly.
(3) This section does not apply to
removal actions taken pursuant to
section 104(b) of CERCLA. The
criteria for such actions are set forth
in section 104(b) of CERCLA.
(b)( 1) At any release, regardless of
whether the site is included on the
National Priorities List (NPL), where
the lead agency makes the
determination, based on the factors in
paragraph (b)(2) of this section, that
there is a threat to public health or
welfare of the United States or the
environment, the lead agency may
take any appropriate removal action
to abate, prevent, minimize, stabilize,
mitigate, or eliminate the release or
the threat of release.
(2) The following factors shall be
considered in determining the
appropriateness of a removal action
pursuant to this section:
(i) Actual or potential exposure to
nearby human populations, animals,
or the food chain from hazardous
substances or pollutants or
contaminants;
(ii) Actual or potential
contamination of drinking water
supplies or sensitive ecosystems;
(iii) Hazardous substances or
pollutants or contaminants in drums,
barrels, tanks, or other bulk storage
containers, that may pose a threat of
release;
(iv) High levels of hazardous
substances or pollutants or
contaminants in soils largely at or
near the surface, that may migrate;
(v) Weather conditions that may
cause hazardous substances or
pollutants or contaminants to migrate
or be released;
(vi) Threat of fire or explosion;
(vii) The availability of other
appropriate federal or state response
mechanisms to respond to the
release; and
(viii) Other situations or factors
thai may pose threats to public health
or welfare of the United States or the
environment.
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 36
(3) If the lead agency determines
that a removal action is appropriate,
actions shall, as appropriate, begin as
soon as possible to abate, prevent,
minimize, stabilize, mitigate, or
eliminate the threat to public health
or welfare of the United States or the
environment. The lead agency shall,
at the earliest possible time, also
make any necessary determinations
pursuant to paragraph (b)(4) of this
section.
(4) Whenever a planning period of
at least six months exists before
on-site activities must be initiated
and the lead agency determines,
based on a site evaluation, that a
removal action is appropriate:
(i) The lead agency shall conduct
an engineering evaluation/cost
analysis (EE/CA) or its equivalent.
The EE/CA is an analysis of removal
alternatives for a site.
(ii) If environmental samples are to
be collected, the lead agency shall
develop sampling and analysis plans
that shall provide a process for
obtaining data of sufficient quality
and quantity to satisfy data needs.
Sampling and analysis plans shall be
reviewed and approved by EPA. The
sampling and analysis plans shall
consist of two parts:
(A) The field sampling plan, which
describes the number, type, and
location of samples and the type of
analyses; and
(B) The quality assurance project
plan, which describes policy,
organization, and functional activities
and the data quality objectives and
measures necessary to achieve
adequate data for use in planning and
documenting the removal action.
(5) CERCLA fund-financed
removal actions, other than those
authorized under section 104(b) of
CERCLA, shall be terminated after
$2 million has been obligated for the
action or 12 months have elapsed
from the date that removal activities
begin on-site, unless the lead agency
determines that:
(i) There is an immediate risk to
public health or welfare of the United
States or the environment; continued
response actions are immediately
required to prevent, limit, or mitigate
an emergency; and such assistance
will not otherwise be provided on a
timely basis; or
(ii) Continued response action is
otherwise appropriate and consistent
with the remedial action to be taken.
(c)(1) In carrying out a response to
a release of a CWA hazardous
substance, as described in CWA
section 311 (c)(1), as amended by
OPA section 4201(a), the OSC may:
(1) Remove or arrange for the
removal of a release, and mitigate or
prevent a substantial threat of a
release, at any time;
(ii) Direct or monitor all federal,
state, and private actions to remove a
release; and
(iii) Remove and, if necessary,
destroy a vessel releasing or
threatening to release CWA
hazardous substances, by whatever
means are available.
(2) If the investigation by the OSC
under § 300.410 shows that the
release of a CWA hazardous
substance results in a substantial
threat to public health or welfare of
the United States, the OSC shall
direct all federal, state, or private
actions to remove the release or to
mitigate or prevent the threat of such
a release, as appropriate. In directing
the response, the OSC may act
without regard to any other provision
of law governing contracting
procedures or employment of
personnel by the federal government
to:
(i) Remove or arrange for the
removal of the release;
(ii) Mitigate or prevent the
substantial threat of the release; and
(iii) Remove and, if necessary,
destroy a vessel releasing, or
threatening to release, by whatever
means are available.
(3) In the case of a release of a
CWA hazardous substance posing a
substantial threat to public health or
welfare of the United States, the OSC
shall:
(i) Assess opportunities for the use
of various special teams and other
assistance described in § 300.145, as
appropriate,
(ii) Request immediate activation of
the RRT; and
(iii) Take whatever additional
response actions are deemed
appropriate. When requested by the
OSC, the lead agency or RRT shall
dispatch appropriate personnel to the
scene of the release to assist the
OSC. This assistance may include
technical support in the agency's
areas of expertise and disseminating
information to the public in
accordance with § 300.155. The lead
agency shall ensure that a contracting
officer is available on-scene, at the
request of the OSC.
(d) Removal actions shall, to the
extent practicable, contribute to the
efficient performance of any
anticipated long-term remedial action
with respect to the release concerned.
(e) The following removal actions
are, as a general rule, appropriate in
the types of situations shown;
however, this list is not exhaustive
and is not intended to prevent the
lead agency from taking any other
actions deemed necessary under
CERCLA, CWA section 311, or
other appropriate federal or state
enforcement or response authorities,
and the list does not create a duty on
the lead agency to take action at any
particular time:
(1) Fences, warning signs, or other
security or site control
precautions-where humans or
animals have access to the release;
(2) Drainage controls, for example,
run-oil"or run-on diversion-where
needed to reduce migration of
hazardous substances or pollutants or
contaminants off-site or to prevent
precipitation or run-off from other
sources, for example, flooding, from
entering the release area from other
areas;
(3) Stabilization of berms, dikes, or
impoundments or drainage or closing
of lagoons-where needed to maintain
the integrity of the structures;
(4) Capping of contaminated soils
or sludges-where needed to reduce
migration of hazardous substances or
pollutants or contaminants into soil,
ground or surface water, or air;
(5) Using chemicals and other
materials to retard the spread of the
release or to mitigate its
elfects-where the use of such
chemicals will reduce the spread of
the release;
(6) Excavation, consolidation, or
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 37
removal of highly contaminated soils
from drainage or other areas-where
such actions will reduce the spread
of, or direct contact with, the
contamination;
(7) Removal of drums, barrels,
tanks, or other bulk containers that
contain or may contain hazardous
substances or pollutants or
contaminants-where it will reduce the
likelihood of spillage; leakage;
exposure to humans, animals, or food
chain; or fire or explosion;
(8) Containment, treatment,
disposal, or incineration of hazardous
materials-where needed to reduce the
likelihood of human, animal, or food
chain exposure; or
(9) Provision of alternative water
supply-where necessary immediately
to reduce exposure to contaminated
household water and continuing until
such time as local authorities can
satisfy the need for a permanent
remedy.
(f) Where necessary to protect
public health or welfare, the lead
agency shall request that FEMA
conduct a temporary relocation or
that state/local officials conduct an
evacuation.
(g) If the lead agency determines
that the removal action will not fully
address the threat posed by the
release and the release may require
remedial action, the lead agency shall
ensure an orderly transition from
removal to remedial response
activities.
(h) CERCLA removal actions
conducted by states under
cooperative agreements, described in
subpart F of this part, shall comply
with all requirements of this section.
(i) Facilities operated by a state o:
political subdivision at the time of
disposal require a state cost share of
at least 50 percent of Fund-financed
response costs if a Fund-financed
remedial action is conducted.
(j) Fund-financed removal actions
under CERCLA section 104 and
removal actions pursuant to
CERCLA section 106 shall, to the
extent practicable considering the
exigencies of the situation, attain
applicable or relevant and
appropriate requirements (ARARs)
under federal environmental or statt-
environmental or facility siting laws.
Waivers described in §
300.430(f)(l)(ii)(C) may be used for
removal actions. Other federal and
state advisories, criteria, or guidance
may, as appropriate, be considered in
formulating the removal action (see §
300.400(g)(3)). In determining
whether compliance with ARARs is
practicable, the lead agency may
consider appropriate factors,
including:
(1) The urgency of the situation;
and
(2) The scope of the removal action
to be conducted.
(k) Removal actions pursuant to
section 106 or 122 of CERCLA arc
not subject to the following
requirements of this section:
(1) Section 300.415(a)(2)
requirement to locale responsible
parties and have them undertake the
response;
(2) Section 300.415(b)(2)(vii)
requirement to consider the
availability of other appropriate
federal or state response and
enforcement mechanisms to respond
to the release;
(3) Section 300.415(b)(5)
requirement to terminate response
after $2 million has been obligated or
12 months have elapsed from the
date of the initial response; and
(4) Section 300.415(g) requirement
to assure an orderly transition from
removal to remedial action.
(1) To the extent practicable,
provision for post-removal site
conuol following a CIIRCI.A
Fund-financed removal action at both
NPL and non-NPL sites is
encouraged to be made prior to the
initiation of the removal action. Such
post-removal site control includes
actions necessary to ensure the
effectiveness and integrity of the
removal action after the completion
of the on-site removal action or after
the $2 million or 12-month statutory
limits are reached for sites that do not
meet the exemption criteria in
paragraph (b)(5) of this section.
Post-removal site control may be
conducted by:
(1) The affected state or political
subdivision thereof or local units of
government for any removal;
(2) Potentially responsible parties;
or
(3) EPA's remedial program for
some federal-lead Fund-financed
responses at NPL sites.
(m) OSCs/RPMs conducting
removal actions shall submit OSC
reports to the RRT as required by §
300.165.
(n) Community relations in removal
actions. (1) In the case of all
CERCLA removal actions taken
pursuant to § 300.415 or CERCLA
enforcement actions to compel
removal response, a spokesperson
shall be designated by the lead
agency. The spokesperson shall
inform the community of actions
taken, respond to inquiries, and
provide information concerning the
release. All news releases or
statements made by participating
agencies shall be coordinated with
the OSC/RPM. The spokesperson
shall notify, at a minimum,
immediately affected citizens, state
and local officials, and, when
appropriate, civil defense or
emergency management agencies.
(2) For CERCLA actions where,
based on the site evaluation, the lead
agency determines that a removal is
appropriate, and that less than six
months exists before on-site removal
activity must begin, the lead agency
shall:
(i) Publish a notice of availability of
the administrative record file
established pursuant to § 300.820 in
a major local newspaper of general
circulation within 60 days of
initiation of on-site removal activity;
(ii) Provide a public comment
period, as appropriate, of not less
than 30 days from the time the
administrative record file is made
available for public inspection,
pursuant to § 300.820(b)(2); and
(iii) Prepare a written response to
significant comments pursuant to §
300.820(b)(3).
(3) For CERCLA removal actions
where on-site action is expected to
extend beyond 120 days from the
initiation of on-site removal
activities, the lead agency shall by the
end of the 120-day period:
(i) Conduct interviews with local
officials, community residents, public
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 38
interest groups, or other interested or
affected parties, as appropriate, to
solicit their concerns, information
needs, and how or when citizens
would like to be involved in the
Superfiind process;
(ii) Prepare a formal community
relations plan (CRP) based on the
community interviews and other
relevant information, specifying the
community relations activities that
the lead agency expects to undertake
during the response; and
(iii) Establish at least one local
infoimation repository at or near the
location of the response action. The
information repository should contain
items made available for public
information.Further, an
administrative record file established
pursuant to subpart I for all removal
actions shall be available for public
inspection in at least one of the
repositories. The lead agency shall
inform the public of the
establishment of the information
repository and provide notice of
availability of the administrative
record file for public review. All
items in the repository shall be
available for public inspection and
copying.
(4) Where, based on the site
evaluation, the lead agency
determines that a CERCLA removal
action is appropriate and that a
planning period of at least six months
exists prior to initiation of the on-site
removal activities, the lead agency
shall at a minimum:
(i) Comply with the requirements
set forth in paragraphs (n)(3) (i), (ii),
and (iii) of this section, prior to the
completion of the EE/CA, or its
equivalent, except that the
information repository and the
administrative record file will be
established no later than when the
EE/CA approval memorandum is
signed;
(ii) Publish a notice of availability
and brief description of the EE/CA in
a major local newspaper of general
circulation pursuant to § 300.820;
(iii) Provide a reasonable
opportunity, not less than 30 calendar
days, for submission of written and
oral comments after completion of
the EE/CA pursuant to § 300.820(a).
Upon timely request, the lead agency
will extend the public comment
period by a minimum of 15 days; and
(iv) Prepare a written response to
significant comments pursuant to §
300.820(a).
§ 300.420 Remedial site
evaluation.
(a) General. The purpose of this
section is to describe the methods,
procedures, and criteria the lead
agency shall use to collect data, as
required, and evaluate releases of
hazardous substances, pollutants, or
contaminants. The evaluation may
consist of two steps: a remedial
preliminary assessment (PA) and a
remedial site inspection (SI).
(b) Remedial preliminary
assessment. (1) The lead agency shall
perform a remedial PA on all sites in
CERCLIS as defined in § 300.5 to:
(1) Eliminate from further
consideration those sites that pose no
threat to public health or the
environment;
(ii) Determine if there is any
potential need for removal action;
(iii) Set priorities for site
inspections; and
(iv) Gather existing data to facilitate
later evaluation of the release
pursuant to the Hazard Ranking
System (HRS) if warranted.
(2) A remedial PA shall consist of a
review of existing information about
a release such as information on the
pathways of exposure, exposure
targets, and source and nature of
release. A remedial PA shall also
include an oil-site reconnaissance as
appropriate. A remedial PA may
include an on-site reconnaissance
where appropriate.
(3) If the remedial PA indicates that
a removal action may be warranted,
the lead agency shall initiate removal
evaluation pursuant to § 300.410.
(4) In performing a remedial PA,
the lead agency may complete the
EPA Preliminary Assessment form,
available from EPA regional offices,
or its equivalent, and shall prepare a
PA report, which shall include:
(i) A description of the release;
(ii) A description of the probable
nature of the release; and
(iii) A recommendation on whether
further action is warranted, which
lead agency should conduct further
action, and whether an SI or removal
action or both should be undertaken.
(5) Any person may petition the
lead federal agency (EPA or the
appropriate federal agency in the case
of a release or suspected release from
a federal facility), to perform a PA of
a release when such person is, or may
be, affected by a release of a
hazardous substance, pollutant, or
contaminant. Such petitions shall be
addressed to the EPA Regional
Administrator for the region in which
the release is located, except that
petitions for PAs involving federal
facilities should be addressed to the
head of the appropriate federal
agency.
(i) Petitions shall be signed by the
petitioner and shall contain the
following:
(A) The full name, address, and
phone number of petitioner,
(B) A description, as precisely as
possible, of the location of the
release; and
(C) How the petitioner is or may be
affected by the release.
(ii) Petitions should also contain the
following information to the extent
available:
(A) What type of substances were
or may be released;
(B) The nature of activities that
have occurred where the release is
located; and
(C) Whether local and state
authorities have been contacted about
the release.
(iii) The lead federal agency shall
complete a remedial or removal PA
within one year of the date of receipt
of a complete petition pursuant to
paragraph (b)(5) of this section, if
one has not been performed
previously, unless the lead federal
agency determines that a PA is not
appropriate. Where such a
determination is made, the lead
federal agency shall notify the
petitioner and will provide a reason
for the determination.
(iv) When determining if
performance of a PA is appropriate,
the lead federal agency shall take into
consideration:
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL A'iO HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 39
(A) Whether there is information
indicating that a release has occurred
or there is a threat of a release of a
hazardous substance, pollutant, or
contaminant; and
(B) Whether the release is eligible
for response under CERCLA.
(c) Remedial site inspection. (1)
The lead agency shall perform a
remedial SI as appropriate to:
(1) Eliminate from further
consideration those releases that pose
no significant threat to public health
or the environment;
(ii) Determine the potential need for
removal action;
(iii) Collect or develop additional
data, as appropriate, to evaluate the
release pursuant to the HRS; and
(iv) Collect data in addition to that
required to score the release pursuant
to the HRS, as appropriate, to better
characterize the release for more
effective and rapid initiation of the
RI/FS or response under other
authorities.
(2) The remedial SI shall build upon
the information collected in the
remedial PA. The remedial SI shall
involve, as appropriate, both on- and
off-site field investigatory efforts, and
sampling.
(3) If the remedial SI indicates that
removal action may be appropriate,
the lead agency shall initiate removal
site evaluation pursuant to §
300.410.
(4) Prior to conducting field
sampling as part of site inspections,
the lead agency shall develop
sampling and analysis plans that shall
provide a process for obtaining data
of sufficient quality and quantity to
satisfy data needs. The sampling and
analysis plans shall consist of two
parts:
(i) The field sampling plan, which
describes the number, type, and
location of samples, and the type of
analyses, and
(ii) The quality assurance project
plan (QAPP), which describes
policy, organization, and functional
activities, and the data quality
objectives and measures necessary to
achieve adequate data for use in site
evaluation and hazard ranking system
activities.
(5) Upon completion of a remedial
SI, the lead agency shall prepare a
report that includes the following:
(i) A description/history/nature of
waste handling;
(ii) A description of known
contaminants;
(iii) A description of pathways of
migration of contaminants;
(iv) An identification and
description of human and
environmental targets; and
(v) A recommendation on whether
further action is warranted.
§ 300.425 Establishing remedial
priorities.
(a) General. The puipose of this
section is to identify the criteria as
well as the methods and procedures
EPA uses to establish its priorities
for remedial actions.
(b) National Priorities List. The
NPL is the list of priority releases for
long-term remedial evaluation and
response.
(1) Only those releases included on
the NPL shall be considered eligible
lbr Fund-financed remedial action.
Removal actions (including remedial
planning activities, RI/FSs, and other
actions taken pursuant to CERCLA
section 104(b)) are not limited to
NPL sites.
(2) Inclusion of a release on the
NPL does not imply that monies will
be expended, nor does the rank of a
release on the NPL establish the
precise priorities for the allocation of
Fund resources. EPA may also
pursue other appropriate authorities
to remedy the release, including
enforcement actions under CERCLA
and other laws. A site's rank on the
NPL serves, along with other factors,
including enforcement actions, as a
basis to guide the allocation of Fund
resources among releases.
(3) Federal facilities that meet the
criteria identified in paragraph (e) of
this section are eligible for inclusion
on the NPL. Except as provided by
CERCLA sections 111(e)(3) and
111 (c), federal facilities are not
eligible for Fund-financed remedial
actions.
(4) Inclusion on the NPL is not a
precondition to action by the lead
agency under CERCLA sections 106
or 122 or to action under CERCLA
section 107 for recovery of
non-Fund-financed costs or
Fund-financed costs other than
Fund-financed remedial construction
costs.
(c) Methods for determining
eligibility for NPL. A release may be
included on the NPL if the release
meets one of the following criteria:
(1) The release scores sufficiently
high pursuant to the Hazard Ranking
System described in Appendix A to
this part.
(2) A state (not including Indian
tribes) has designated a release as its
highest priority. States may make
only one such designation; or
(3) The release satisfies all of the
following criteria:
(i) The Agency for Toxic
Substances and Disease Registry has
issued a health advisory that
recommends dissociation of
individuals from the release;
(ii) EPA determines that the release
poses a significant threat to public
health; and
(iii) EPA anticipates that it will be
more cost-effective to use its
remedial authority than to use
removal authority to respond to the
release.
(d) Procedures for placing sites on
the NPL. Lead agencies may submit
candidates to EPA by scoring the
release using the HRS and providing
the appropriate backup
documentation.
(1) Lead agencies may submit HRS
scoring packages to EPA anytime
throughout the year.
(2) EPA shall review lead agencies'
HRS scoring packages and revise
them as appropriate. EPA shall
develop any additional HRS scoring
packages on releases known to EPA.
(3) EPA shall compile the NPL
based on the methods identified in
paragraph (c) of this section.
(4) EPA shall update the NPL at
least once a year.
(5) To ensure public involvement
during the proposal to add a release
to the NPL, EPA shall:
(i) Publish the proposed rule in the
Federal Register and solicit
comments through a public comment
period; and
-------
40CFR300 NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp40
(ii) Publish the final rule in the
Federal Register, and make available
a response to each significant
comment and any significant new
data submitted during the comment
period.
(6) Releases may be categorized on
the NPL when deemed appropriate
by EPA.
(e) Deletion from the NPL. Releases
may be deleted from or recategorized
on the NPL where no further
response is appropriate.
(1) EPA shall consult with the state
on proposed deletions from the NPL
prior to developing the notice of
intent to delete. In making a
determination to delete a release from
the NPL, EPA shall consider, in
consultation with the state, whether
any of the following criteria has been
met:
(1) Responsible parties or other
persons have implemented all .
appropriate response actions
required;
(ii) All appropriate Fund-financed
response under CERCLA has been
implemented, and no further
response action by responsible
parties is appropriate; or
(iii) The remedial investigation has
shown that the release poses no
significant threat to public health or
the environment and, therefore,
taking of remedial measures is not
appropriate.
(2) Releases shall not be deleted
from the NPL until the state in which
the release was located has concurred
on the proposed deletion. EPA shall
provide the state 30 working days for
review of the deletion notice prior to
its publication in the Federal
Register.
(3) All releases deleted from the
NPL are eligible for further
Fund-financed remedial actions
should future conditions warrant such
action. Whenever there is a
significant release from a site deleted
from the NPL, the site shall be
restored to the NPL without
application of the HRS.
(4) To ensure public involvement
during the proposal to delete a
release from the NPL, EPA shall:
(i) Publish a notice of intent to
delete in the Federal Register and
solicit comment through a public
comment period of a minimum of 30
calendar days;
(ii) In a major local newspaper of
general circulation at or near the
release that is proposed for deletion,
publish a notice of availability of the
notice of intent to delete;
(iii) Place copies of information
supporting the proposed deletion in
the information repository, described
in § 300.430(c)(2)(iii), at or near the
release proposed for deletion. These
items shall be available for public
inspection and copying; and
(iv) Respond to each significant
comment and any significant new
data submitted during the comment
period and include this response
document in the final deletion
package.
(5) EPA shall place the final
deletion package in the local
information repository once the
notice of final deletion has been
published in the Federal Register.
§ 300.430 Remedial
investigation/feasibility study and
selection of remedy.
(a) General-( 1) Introduction. The
purpose of the remedy selection
process is to implement remedies that
eliminate, reduce, or control risks to
human health and the environment
Remedial actions are to be
implemented as soon as site data and
information make it possible to do so.
Accordingly, EPA has established the
following program goal,
expectations, and program
management principles to assist in
the identification and implementation
of appropriate remedial actions.
(i) Program goal. The national goal
of the remedy selection process is to
select remedies that are protective of
human health and the environment,
that maintain protection over time,
and that minimize untreated waste.
(ii) Program management
principles. EPA generally shall
consider the following general
principles of program managemenl
during the remedial process:
(A) Sites should generally be
remediated in operable units when
early actions are necessary or
appropriate to achieve significant risk
reduction quickly, when phased
analysis and response is necessary or
appropriate given the size or
complexity of the site, or to expedite
the completion of total site cleanup.
(B) Operable units, including
interim action operable units, should
not be inconsistent with nor preclude
implementation of the expected final
remedy.
(C) Site-specific data needs, the
evaluation of alternatives, and the
documentation of the selected remedy
should reflect the scope and
complexity of the site problems being
addressed.
(iii) Expectations. EPA generally
shall consider the following
expectations in developing
appropriate remedial alternatives:
(A) EPA expects to use treatment to
address the principal threats posed by
a site, wherever practicable.
Principal threats for which treatment
is most likely to be appropriate
include liquids, areas contaminated
with high concentrations of toxic
compounds, and highly mobile
materials.
(B) EPA expects to use engineering
controls, such as containment, for
waste that poses a relatively low
long-term threat or where treatment
is impracticable.
(C) EPA expects to use a
combination of methods, as
appropriate, to achieve protection of
human health and the environment. In
appropriate site situations, treatment
of the principal threats posed by a
site, with priority placed on treating
waste that is liquid, highly toxic or
highly mobile, will be combined with
engineering controls (such as
containment) and institutional
controls, as appropriate, for treatment
residuals and untreated waste.
(D) EPA expects to use institutional
controls such as water use and deed
restrictions to supplement
engineering controls as appropriate
for short- and long-term management
to prevent or limit exposure to
hazardous substances, pollutants, or
contaminants. Institutional controls
may be used during the conduct of
the remedial investigation/feasibility
study (RI/FS) and implementation of
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 41
the remedial action and, where
necessary, as a component of the
completed remedy. The use of
institutional controls shall not
substitute for active response
measures (e.g., treatment and/or
containment of source material,
restoration of ground waters to their
beneficial uses) as the sole remedy
unless such active measures are
determined not to be practicable,
based on the balancing of trade-offs
among alternatives that is conducted
during the selection of remedy
(E) EPA expects to consider using
innovative technology when such
technology offers the potential for
comparable or superior treatment
performance or implementability,
fewer or lesser adverse impacts than
other available approaches, or lower
costs for similar levels of
performance than demonstrated
technologies.
(F) EPA expects to return usable
ground waters to their beneficial uses
wherever practicable, within a
timeframe that is reasonable given
the particular circumstances of the
site. When restoration of ground
water to beneficial uses is not
practicable, EPA expects to prevent
further migration of the plume,
prevent exposure to the contaminated
ground water, and evaluate further
risk reduction.
(2) Remedial
investigation/feasibility study. The
purpose of the remedial
investigation/feasibility study (Rl/FS)
is to assess site conditions and
evaluate alternatives to the extent
necessary to select a remedy.
Developing and conducting an RI/FS
generally includes the following
activities: project scoping, data
collection, risk assessment,
treatability studies, and analysis of
alternatives. The scope and timing of
these activities should be tailored to
the nature and complexity of the
problem and the response
alternatives being considered,
(b) Scoping. In implementing this
section, the lead agency should
consider the program goal, program
management principles, and
expectations contained in this rule.
The investigative and analytical
studies should be tailored to site
circumstances so that the scope and
detail of the analysis is appropriate to
the complexity of site problems being
addressed. During scoping, the lead
and support agencies shall confer to
identify the optimal set and sequence
of actions necessary to address site
problems. Specifically, the lead
agency shall:
(1) Assemble and evaluate existing
data on the site, including the results
of any removal actions, remedial
preliminary assessment and site
inspections, and the NPI. listing
process.
(2) Develop a conceptual
understanding of the site based on the
evaluation of existing data described
in paragraph (b)( 1) of this section.
(3) Identify likely response
scenarios and potentially applicable
technologies and operable units that
may address site problems.
(4) Undertake limited data
collection efforts or studies where
this information will assist in scoping
the RI/FS or accelerate response
actions, and begin to identify the need
for treatability studies, as
appropriate.
(5) Identify the type, quality, and
quantity of the data that will be
collected during the RI/FS to support
decisions regarding remedial
response activities.
(6) Prepare site-specific health and
safety plans that shall specify, at a
minimum, employee training and
protective equipment, medical
sun'eillance requirements, standard
operating procedures, and a
contingency plan that conforms with
29 CFR 1910.120 (1)(1) and (1)(2).
(7) If natural resources are or may
be injured by the release, ensure that
state and federal trustees of the
affected natural resources have been
notified in order that the trustees may
initiate appropriate actions, including
those identified in subpart G of this
part. The lead agency shall seek to
coordinate necessary assessments,
evaluations, investigations, and
planning with such state and federal
trustees.
(8) Develop sampling and analysis
plans that shall provide a process for
obtaining data of sufficient quality
and quantity to satisfy data needs.
Sampling and analysis plans shall be
reviewed and approved by EPA. The
sampling and analysis plans shall
consist of two parts:
(1) The field sampling plan, which
describes the number, type, and
location of samples and the type of
analyses; and
(ii) The quality assurance project
plan, which describes policy,
organization, and functional activities
and the data quality objectives and
measures necessary to achieve
adequate data for use in selecting the
appropriate remedy.
(9) Initiate the identification of
potential federal and state ARARs
and, as appropriate, other criteria,
advisories, or guidance to be
considered.
(c) Community relations. (1) The
community relations requirements
described in this section apply to all
remedial activities undertaken
pursuant to CERCLA section 104
and to section 106 or section 122
consent orders or decrees, or section
106 administrative orders.
(2) The lead agency shall provide
for the conduct of the following
community relations activities, to the
extent practicable, prior to
commencing field work for the
remedial investigation:
(i) Conducting interviews with local
officials, community residents, public
interest groups, or other interested or
affected parties, as appropriate, to
solicit their concerns and information
needs, and to leam how and when
citizens would like to be involved in
the Superfund process.
(ii) Preparing a formal community
relations plan (CRP), based on the
community interviews and other
relevant information, specifying the
community relations activities that
the lead agency expects to undertake
during the remedial response. The
purpose of the CRP is to:
(A) Ensure the public appropriate
opportunities for involvement in a
wide variety of site-related decisions,
including site analysis and
characterization, alternatives
analysis, and selection of remedy;
(B) Determine, based on community
interviews, appropriate activities to
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 42
ensure such public involvement, and
(C) Provide appropriate
opportunities for the community to
leam about the site.
(iii) Establishing at least one local
information repository at or near the
location of the response action. Each
information repository should contain
a copy of items made available to the
public, including information that
describes the technical assistance
grants application process. The lead
agency shall inform interested parties
of the establishment of the
information repository.
(iv) Informing the community of the
availability of technical assistance
grants.
(3) For PRP actions, the lead
agency shall plan and implement the
community relations program at a
site. PRPs may participate in aspects
of the community relations program
at the discretion of and with oversight
by the lead agency.
(4) The lead agency may conduct
technical discussions involving PRPs
and the public. These technical
discussions may be held separately
from, but contemporaneously with,
the negotiations/settlement
discussions.
(5) In addition, the following
provisions specifically apply to
enforcement actions:
(i) Lead agencies entering into an
enforcement agreement with de
minimis parties under CERCLA
section 122(g) or cost recovery
settlements under section 122(h)
shall publish a notice of the proposed
agreement in the Federal Register at
least 30 days before the agreement
becomes final, as required by section
122(i). The notice must identify the
name of the facility and the parties to
the proposed agreement and must
allow an opportunity for comment
and consideration of comments; and
(ii) Where the enforcement
agreement is embodied in a consent
decree, public notice and opportunity
for public comment shall be provided
in accordance with 28 CFR 50.7.
(d) Remedial investigation. (1) The
purpose of the remedial investigation
(RI) is to collect data necessary to
adequately characterize the site for
the purpose of developing and
evaluating effective remedial
alternatives. To characterize the site,
the lead agency shall, as appropriate,
conduct field investigations,
including treatability studies, and
conduct a baseline risk assessment.
The RI provides information to
assess the risks to human health and
the environment and to support the
development, evaluation, and
selection of appropriate response
alternatives. Site characterization
may be conducted in one or more
phases to focus sampling efforts and
increase the efficiency of the
investigation. Because estimates of
actual or potential exposures and
associated impacts on human and
environmental receptors may be
refined throughout the phases of the
RI as new information is obtained,
site characterization activities should
be fully integrated with the
development and evaluation of
alternatives in the feasibility study.
Bench- or pilot-scale treatability
studies shall be conducted, when
appropriate and practicable, to
provide additional data for the
detailed analysis and to support
engineering design of remedial
alternatives.
(2) The lead agency shall
characterize the nature of and threat
posed by the hazardous substances
and hazardous materials and gather
data necessary to assess the extent to
which the release poses a threat to
human health or the environment or
to support the analysis and design of
potential response actions by
conducting, as appropriate, field
investigations to assess the following
factors:
(i) Physical characteristics of the
site, including important surface
features, soils, geology,
hydrogeology, meteorology, and
ecology;
(ii) Characteristics or classifications
of air, surface water, and ground
water;
(iii) The general characteristics of
the waste, including quantities, state,
concentration, toxicity, propensity to
bioaccumulate, persistence, and
mobility;
(iv) The extent to which the source
can be adequately identified and
characterized;
(v) Actual and potential exposure
pathways through environmental
media;
(vi) Actual and potential exposure
routes, for example, inhalation and
ingestion; and
(vii) Other factors, such as sensitive
populations, that pertain to the
characterization of the site or support
the analysis of potential remedial
action alternatives.
(3) The lead and support agency
shall identify their respective
potential ARARs related to the
location of and contaminants at the
site in a timely manner. The lead and
support agencies may also, as
appropriate, identify other pertinent
advisories, criteria, or guidance in a
timely manner (see § 300.400(g)(3)).
(4) Using the data developed under
paragraphs (d) (1) and (2) of this
section, the lead agency shall conduct
a site-specific baseline risk
assessment to characterize the
cuiTent and potential threats to
human health and the environment
that may be posed by contaminants
migrating to ground water or surface
water, releasing to air, leaching
through soil, remaining in the soil,
and bioaccumulating in the food
chain. The results of the baseline risk
assessment will help establish
acceptable exposure levels for use in
developing remedial alternatives in
the FS, as described in paragraph (e)
of this section.
(e) Feasibility study. (1) The
primary objective of the feasibility
study (FS) is to ensure that
appropriate remedial alternatives are
developed and evaluated such that
relevant information concerning the
remedial action options can be
presented to a decision-maker and an
appropriate remedy selected. The
lead agency may develop a feasibility
study to address a specific site
problem or the entire site. The
development and evaluation of
alternatives shall reflect the scope
and complexity of the remedial action
under consideration and the site
problems being addressed.
Development of alternatives shall be
fully integrated with the site
characterization activities of the
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 43
remedial investigation described in
paragraph (d) of this section. The
lead agency shall include an
alternatives screening step, when
needed, to select a reasonable
number of alternatives for detailed
analysis.
(2) Alternatives shall be developed
that protect human health and the
environment by recycling waste or by
eliminating, reducing, and/or
controlling risks posed through each
pathway by a site. The number and
type of alternatives to be analyzed
shall be determined at each site,
taking into account the scope,
characteristics, and complexity of the
site problem that is being addressed.
In developing and, as appropriate,
screening the alternatives, the lead
agency shall:
(i) Establish remedial action
objectives specifying contaminants
and media of concern, potential
exposure pathways, and remediation
goals. Initially, preliminary
remediation goals are developed
based on readily available
information, such as
chemical-specific ARARs or other
reliable information. Preliminary
remediation goals should be
modified, as necessary, as more
information becomes available
during the RI/FS. Final remediation
goals will be determined when the
remedy is selected. Remediation
goals shall establish acceptable
exposure levels that are protective of
human health and the environment
and shall be developed by
considering the following:
(A) Applicable or relevant and
appropriate requirements under
federal environmental or state
environmental or facility siting laws,
if available, and the following
factors:
(1) For systemic toxicants,
acceptable exposure levels shall
represent concentration levels to
which the human population,
including sensitive subgroups, may
be exposed without adverse effect
during a lifetime or part of a lifetime,
incorporating an adequate margin of
safety;
(2) For known or suspected
carcinogens, acceptable exposure
levels are generally concentration
levels that represent an excess upper
bound lifetime cancer risk to an
individual of between 10-4 and 10-6
using information on the relationship
between dose and response. The 10-6
risk level shall be used as the point of
departure for determining
remediation goals for alternatives
when ARARs are not available or are
not sufficiently protective because of
the presence of multiple
contaminants at a site or multiple
pathways of exposure;
(3) Factors related to technical
limitations such as
detection/quantification limits for
contaminants;
(4) Factors related to uncertainty;
and
(5) Other pertinent information.
(B) Maximum contaminant level
goals (MCLGs), established under
the Safe Drinking Water Act, that are
set at levels above zero, shall be
attained by remedial actions for
ground or surface waters that are
current or potential sources of
drinking water, where the MCLGs
are relevant and appropriate under
the circumstances of the release
based on the factors in §
300.400(g)(2). If an MCLG is
determined not to be relevant and
appropriate, the corresponding
maximum contaminant level (MCL)
shall be attained where relev ant and
appropriate to the circumstances of
the release.
(C) Where (he MCLG for a
contaminant has been set at a level of
zero, the MCL promulgated for that
contaminant under the Safe Drinking
Water Act shall be attained by
remedial actions for ground or
surface waters that are current or
potential sources of drinking water,
where the MCL is relevant and
appropriate under the circumstances
of the release based on the factors in
§ 300.400(g)(2).
(D) In cases involving multiple
contaminants or pathways where
attainment of chemical-specific
ARARs will result in cumulative risk
in excess of 10-4, criteria in
paragraph (e)(2)(i)(A) of this section
may also be considered when
determining the cleanup lev el to be
attained.
(E) Water quality criteria
established under sections 303 or
304 of the Clean Water Act shall be
attained where relevant and
appropriate under the circumstances
of the release.
(F) An alternate concentration limit
(ACL) may be established in
accordance with CERCLA section
121(d)(2)(B)(ii).
(G) Environmental evaluations shall
be performed to assess threats to the
environment, especially sensitive
habitats and critical habitats of
species protected under the
Endangered Species Act.
(ii) Identify and evaluate potentially
suitable technologies, including
innovative technologies;
(iii) Assemble suitable technologies
into alternative remedial actions.
(3) For source control actions, the
lead agency shall develop, as
appropriate:
(i) A range of alternatives in which
treatment that reduces the toxicity,
mobility, or volume of the hazardous
substances, pollutants, or
contaminants is a principal element.
As appropriate, this range shall
include an alternative that removes or
destroys hazardous substances,
pollutants, or contaminants to the
maximum extent feasible, eliminating
or minimizing, to the degree possible,
the need for long-term management.
The lead agency also shall develop,
as appropriate, other alternatives
which, at a minimum, treat the
principal threats posed by the site but
vary in the degree of treatment
employed and the quantities and
characteristics of the treatment
residuals and untreated waste that
must be managed; and
(ii) One or more alternatives that
involve little or no treatment, but
provide protection of human health
and the environment primarily by
preventing or controlling exposure to
hazardous substances, pollutants, or
contaminants, through engineering
controls, for example, containment,
and, as necessary, institutional
controls to protect human health and
the environment and to assure
continued effectiveness of the
response action.
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 44
(4) For ground-water response
actions, the lead agency shall develop
a limited number of remedial
alternatives that attain site-specific
remediation levels within different
restoration time periods utilizing one
or more different technologies.
(5) The lead agency shall develop
one or more innovative treatment
technologies for further consideration
if those technologies offer the
potential for comparable or superior
performance or implementability;
fewer or lesser adverse impacts than
other available approaches; or lower
costs for similar levels of
performance than demonstrated
treatment technologies.
(6) The no-action alternative, which
may be no further action if some
removal or remedial action has
already occurred at the site, shall be
developed.
(7) As appropriate, and to the extent
sufficient information is available, the
short- and long-term aspects of the
following three criteria shall be used
to guide the development and
screening of remedial alternatives:
(i) Effectiveness. This criterion
focuses on the degree to which an
alternative reduces toxicity, mobility,
or volume through treatment,
minimizes residual risks and affords
long-term protection, complies with
ARARs, minimizes short-term
impacts, and how quickly it achieves
protection. Alternatives providing
significantly less effectiveness than
other, more promising alternatives
may be eliminated. Alternatives that
do not provide adequate protection of
human health and the environment
shall be eliminated from further
consideration.
(ii) Implementability. This criterion
focuses on the technical feasibility
and availability of the technologies
each alternative would employ and
the administrative feasibility of
implementing the alternative.
Alternatives that are technically or
administratively infeasible or that
would require equipment, specialists,
or facilities that are not available
within a reasonable period of time
may be eliminated from further
consideration.
(iii) Cost. The costs of construction
and any long-term costs to operate
and maintain the alternatives shall be
considered. Costs that are grossly
excessive compared to the overall
effectiveness of alternatives may be
considered as one of several factors
used to eliminate alternatives.
Alternatives providing effectiveness
and implementability similar to that
of another alternative by employing a
similar method of treatment or
engineering control, but at greater
cost, may be eliminated.
(8) The lead agency shall notify the
support agency of the alternatives
that will be evaluated in detail to
facilitate the identification of ARARs
and, as appropriate, pertinent
advisories, criteria, or guidance to be
considered.
(9) Detailed analysis of alternatives,
(i) A detailed analysis shall be
conducted on the limited number of
alternatives that represent viable
approaches to remedial action after
evaluation in the screening stage. The
lead and support agencies must
identify their ARARs related to
specific actions in a timely manner
and no later than the early stages of
the comparative analysis. The lead
and support agencies may also, as
appropriate, identify other pertinent
advisories, criteria, or guidance in a
timely manner.
(ii) The detailed analysis consists of
an assessment of individual
alternatives against each of nine
evaluation criteria and a comparative
analysis that focuses upon the relative
performance of each alternative
against those criteria.
(iii) Nine criteria for evaluation.
The analysis of alternatives under
review shall reflect the scope and
complexity of site problems and
alternatives being evaluated and
consider the relative significance of
the factors within each criteria. The
nine evaluation criteria are as
follows:
(A) Overall protection of human
health and the environment.
Alternatives shall be assessed to
determine whether they can
adequately protect human health and
the environment, in both the short-
and long-term, from unacceptable
risks posed by hazardous substances,
pollutants, or contaminants present at
the site by eliminating, reducing, or
controlling exposures to levels
established during development of
remediation goals consistent with §
300.430(e)(2)(i). Overall protection
of human health and the environment
draws on the assessments of other
evaluation criteria, especially
long-term effectiveness and
permanence, short-term
effectiveness, and compliance with
ARARs.
(B) Compliance with ARARs. The
alternatives shall be assessed to
determine whether they attain
applicable or relevant and
appropriate requirements under
federal environmental laws and state
environmental or facility siting laws
or provide grounds for invoking one
of the waivers under paragraph
(1)( 1 )(ii)(C) of this section.
(C) Long-term effectiveness and
permanence. Alternatives shall be
assessed for the long-term
effectiveness and permanence they
afford, along with the degree of
certainty that the alternative will
prove successful. Factors that shall
be considered, as appropriate,
include the following:
(1) Magnitude of residual risk
remaining from untreated waste or
treatment residuals remaining at the
conclusion of the remedial activities.
The characteristics of the residuals
should be considered to the degree
that they remain hazardous, taking
into account their volume, toxicity,
mobility, and propensity to
bioaccumulate.
(2) Adequacy and reliability of
controls such as containment systems
and institutional controls that are
necessary to manage treatment
residuals and untreated waste. This
factor addresses in particular the
uncertainties associated with land
disposal for providing long-term
protection from residuals; the
assessment of the potential need to
replace technical components of the
alternative, such as a cap, a slurry
wall, or a treatment system; and the
potential exposure pathways and
risks posed should the remedial
action need replacement.
(D) Reduction of toxicity, mobility,
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 45
or volume through treatment. The
degree to which alternatives employ
recycling or treatment that reduces
toxicity, mobility, or volume shall be
assessed, including how treatment is
used to address the principal threats
posed by the site. Factors that shall
be considered, as appropriate,
include the following:
(1) The treatment or recycling
processes the alternatives employ and
materials they will treat;
(2) The amount of hazardous
substances, pollutants, or
contaminants that will be destroyed,
treated, or recycled;
(3) The degree of expected
reduction in toxicity, mobility, or
volume of the waste due to treatment
or recycling and the specification of
which reduction(s) are occurring;
(4) The degree to which the
treatment is irreversible;
(5) The type and quantity of
residuals that will remain following
treatment, considering the
persistence, toxicity, mobility, and
propensity to bioaccumulate of such
hazardous substances and their
constituents; and
(6) The degree to which treatment
reduces the inherent hazards posed
by principal threats at the site.
(E) Short-term effectiveness. The
short-term impacts of alternatives
shall be assessed considering the
following:
(1) Short-term risks that might be
posed to the community during
implementation of an alternative;
(2) Potential impacts on workers
during remedial action and the
effectiveness and reliability of
protective measures;
(3) Potential environmental impacts
of the remedial action and the
effectiveness and reliability of
mitigative measures during
implementation; and
(4) Time until protection is
achieved.
(F) Implementability. The case or
difficulty of implementing the
alternatives shall be assessed by
considering the following types of
factors as appropriate:
(1) Technical feasibility, including
technical difficulties and unknowns
associated with the construction and
operation of a technology, the
reliability of the technology, ease of
undertaking additional remedial
actions, and the ability to monitor the
effectiveness of the remedy.
(2) Administrative feasibility,
including activities needed to
coordinate with other ollices and
agencies and the ability and time
required to obtain any necessary
approvals and permits from other
agencies (for off-site actions);
(3) Availability of services and
materials, including the availability of
adequate off-site treatment, storage
capacity, and disposal capacity and
services; the availability of necessary
equipment and specialists, and
provisions to ensure any necessary
additional resources; the availability
of services and materials; and
availability of prospective
technologies.
(G) Cost. The types of costs that
shall be assessed include the
following:
(1) Capital costs, including both
direct and indirect costs,
(2) Annual operation and
maintenance costs; and
(3) Net present value of capital and
O&M costs.
(H) State acceptance. Assessment of
state concerns may not be completed
until comments on the RI/FS are
received but may be discussed, to the
extent possible, in the proposed plan
issued for public comment. The state
concerns that shall be assessed
include the following:
(I) The state's position and key
concerns related to the preferred
alternative and other alternatives; and
(2) State comments on ARARs or
the proposed use of waivers.
(I) Community acceptance. This
assessment includes determining
which components of the alternatives
interested persons in the community
support, have resen'ations about, or
oppose. This assessment may not be
completed until comments on the
proposed plan are received.
(0 Selection of remedv-( 1)
Remedies selected shall reflect the
scope and purpose of the actions
being undertaken and how the action
relates to long-term, comprehensive
response at the site.
(i) The criteria noted in paragraph
(e)(9)(iii) of this section are used to
select a remedy. These criteria are
categorized into three groups.
(A) Threshold criteria. Overall
protection of human health and the
environment and compliance with
ARARs (unless a specific ARAR is
waived) are threshold requirements
that each alternative must meet in
order to be eligible for selection.
(B) Primaiy balancing criteria. The
five primary balancing criteria are
long-term effectiveness and
permanence; reduction of toxicity,
mobility, or volume through
treatment; short-term effectiveness;
implementability; and cost.
(C) Modifying criteria. State and
community acceptance are modifying
criteria that shall be considered in
remedy selection.
(ii) The selection of a remedial
action is a two-step process and shall
proceed in accordance with §
300.515(e). First, the lead agency, in
conjunction with the support agency,
identifies a preferred alternative and
presents it to the public in a proposed
plan, for review and comment.
Second, the lead agency shall review
the public comments and consult
with the state (or support agency) in
order to determine if the alternative
remains the most appropriate
remedial action for the site or site
problem. The lead agency, as
specified in § 300.515(e), makes the
final remedy selection decision,
which shall be documented in the
ROD. Each remedial alternative
selected as a Superfund remedy will
employ the criteria as indicated in
paragraph (f)(l)(i) of this section to
make the following determination:
(A) Each remedial action selected
shall be protective of human health
and the environment.
(B) On-site remedial actions
selected in a ROD must attain those
AIMRs that are identified at the time
of ROD signature or provide grounds
for invoking a waiver under §
300.430(f)(l )(ii)(C).
(1) Requirements that are
promulgated or modified after ROD
signature must be attained (or
waived) only when determined to be
applicable or relevant and
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 46
appropriate and necessary to ensure
that the remedy is protective of
human health and the environment.
(2) Components of the remedy not
described in the ROD must attain (cr
waive) requirements that are
identified as applicable or relevant
and appropriate at the time the
amendment to the ROD or the
explanation of significant difference
describing the component is signed.
(C) An alternative that does not
meet an ARAR under federal
environmental or state environmental
or facility siting laws may be selected
under the following circumstances:
(1) The alternative is an interim
measure and will become part of a
total remedial action that will attain
the applicable or relevant and
appropriate federal or state
requirement;
(2) Compliance with the
requirement will result in greater risk
to human health and the environment
than other alternatives;
(3) Compliance with the
requirement is technically
impracticable from an engineering
perspective;
(4) The alternative will attain a
standard of performance that is
equivalent to that required under the
otherwise applicable standard,
requirement, or limitation through
use of another method or approach:
(5) With respect to a stale
requirement, the state has not
consistently applied, or demonstrated
the intention to consistently apply,
the promulgated requirement in
similar circumstances at other
remedial actions within the state; or
(6) For Fund-financed response
actions only, an alternative that
attains the ARAR will not provide a
balance between the need for
protection of human health and the
environment at the site and the
availability of Fund monies to
respond to other sites that may
present a threat to human health and
the environment.
(D) Each remedial action selected
shall be cost-effective, provided that
it first satisfies the threshold criteria
set forth in § 300.430(0(1 )(ii) (A)
and (B). Cost-effectiveness is
determined by evaluating the
following three of the five balancing
criteria noted in §
300.430(f)(l)(i)(B) to determine
overall effectiveness: long-term
effectiveness and permanence,
reduction of toxicity, mobility, or
volume through treatment, and
short-term effectiveness. Overall
effectiveness is then compared to cost
to ensure that the remedy is
cost-effective. A remedy shall be
cost-elfcctive if its costs arc
proportional to its overall
effectiveness.
(E) Each remedial action shall
utilize permanent solutions and
alternative treatment technologies or
resource recovery technologies to the
maximum extent practicable. This
requirement shall be fulfilled by
selecting the alternative that satisfies
paragraph (f)(1)(H) (A) and (B) of
this section and provides the best
balance of trade-offs among
alternatives in terms of the five
primary balancing criteria noted in
paragraph (f)(l)(i)(B) of this section.
The balancing shall emphasize
long-term effectiveness and reduction
of toxicity, mobility, or volume
through treatment. The balancing
shall also consider the preference for
treatment as a principal element and
the bias against off-site land disposal
of untreated waste. In making the
determination under this paragraph,
the modifying criteria of state
acceptance and community
acceptance described in paragraph
(f)(l)(i)(C) of this section shall also
be considered.
(2) The proposed plan. In the first
step in the remedy selection process,
the lead agency shall identify the
alternative that best meets the
requirements in § 300.430(f)( 1),
above, and shall present that
alternative to the public in a
proposed plan. The lead agency, in
conjunction with the support agency
and consistent with § 300.515(e),
shall prepare a proposed plan that
briefly describes the remedial
alternatives analyzed by the lead
agency, proposes a preferred
remedial action alternative, and
summarizes the information relied
upon to select the preferred
alternative. The selection of remedv
process for an operable unit may be
initiated at any time during the
remedial action process. The purpose
of the proposed plan is to supplement
the RI/FS and provide the public with
a reasonable opportunity to comment
on the preferred alternative for
remedial action, as well as alternative
plans under consideration, and to
participate in the selection of
remedial action at a site. At a
minimum, the proposed plan shall:
(i) Provide a brief summary
description of the remedial
alternatives evaluated in the detailed
analysis established under paragraph
(e)(9) of this section;
(ii) Identify and provide a
discussion of the rationale that
supports the preferred alternative;
(iii) Provide a summary of any
formal comments received from the
support agency ; and
(iv) Provide a summary explanation
of any proposed waiver identified
under paragraph (f)(l)(ii)(C) of this
section from an ARAR.
(3) Community relations to support
the selection of remedy, (i) The lead
agency, after preparation of the
proposed plan and review by the
support agency, shall conduct the
following activities:
(A) Publish a notice of availability
and brief analysis of the proposed
plan in a major local newspaper of
general circulation;
(B) Make the proposed plan and
supporting analysis and information
available in the administrative record
required under subpart I of this part;
(C) Provide a reasonable
opportunity, not less than 30 calendar
days, for submission of written and
oral comments on the proposed plan
and the supporting analysis and
information located in the
information repository, including the
RI/FS. Upon timely request, the lead
agency will extend the public
comment period by a minimum of 30
additional days;
(D) Provide the opportunity for a
public meeting to be held during the
public comment period at or near the
site at issue regarding the proposed
plan and the supporting analysis and
information;
(E) Keep a transcript of the public
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 47
meeting held during the public
comment period pursuant to
CERCLA section 117(a) and make
such transcript available to the
public; and
(F) Prepare a written summary of
significant comments, criticisms, and
new relevant information submitted
during the public comment period
and the lead agency response to each
issue. This responsiveness summary
shall be made available with the
record of decision.
(ii) After publication of the
proposed plan and prior to adoption
of the selected remedy in the record
of decision, if new information is
made available that significantly
changes the basic features of the
remedy with respect to scope,
performance, or cost, such that the
remedy significantly differs from the
original proposal in the proposed
plan and the supporting analysis and
information, the lead agency shall:
(A) Include a discussion in the
record of decision of the significant
changes and reasons for such
changes, if the lead agency
determines such changes could be
reasonably anticipated by the public
based on the alternatives and other
information available in the proposed
plan or the supporting analysis and
information in the administrative
record; or
(B) Seek additional public comment
on a revised proposed plan, when the
lead agency determines the change
could not have been reasonably
anticipated by the public based on the
information available in the proposed
plan or the supporting analysis and
information in the administrative
record. The lead agency shall, prior
to adoption of the selected remedy in
the ROD, issue a revised proposed
plan, which shall include a discussion
of the significant changes and the
reasons for such changes, in
accordance with the public
participation requirements described
in paragraph
(f)(3)(i) of this section.
(4) Final remedy selection, (i) In the
second and final step in the remedy
selection process, the lead agency
shall reassess its initial determination
that the preferred alternative provides
the best balance of trade-offs, now
factoring in any new information or
points of view expressed by the state
(or support agency) and community
during the public comment period.
The lead agency shall consider state
(or support agency) and community
comments regarding the lead
agency's evaluation of alternatives
with respect to the other criteria.
These comments may prompt the
lead agency to modify aspects of the
preferred alternative or decide that
another alternative provides a more
appropriate balance. The lead
agency, as specified in § 300.515(e),
shall make the final remedy selection
decision and document that decision
in the ROD.
(ii) If a remedial action is selected
that results in hazardous substances,
pollutants, or contaminants remaining
at the site above levels that allow for
unlimited use and unrestricted
exposure, the lead agency shall
review such action no less often than
every five years after initiation of the
selected remedial action.
(iii) The process for selection of a
remedial action at a federal facility on
the NPL, pursuant to CERCLA
section 120, shall entail:
(A) Joint selection of remedial
action by the head of the relevant
department, agency, or
instrumentality and EPA; or
(B) If mutual agreement on the
remedy is not reached, selection of
the remedy is made by EPA.
(5) Documenting the decision, (i)
To support the selection of a
remedial action, all facts, analyses of
facts, and site-specilic policy
determinations considered in the
course of earning out activities in
this section shall be documented, as
appropriate, in a record of decision,
in a level of detail appropriate to the
site situation, for inclusion in the
administrative record required under
subpart I of this part. Documentation
shall explain how the evaluation
criteria in paragraph (e)(9)(iii) of this
section were used to select the
remedy.
(ii) The ROD shall describe the
following statutory requirements as
they relate to the scope and
objectives of the action:
(A) How the selected remedy is
protective of human health and the
environment, explaining how the
remedy eliminates, reduces, or
controls exposures to human and
environmental receptors;
(B) The federal and state
requirements that are applicable or
relevant and appropriate to the site
that the remedy will attain;
(C) The applicable or relevant and
appropriate requirements of other
federal and state laws that the remedy
will not meet, the waiver invoked,
and the justification for invoking the
waiver;
(D) How the remedy is
cost-effective, i.e., explaining how
the remedy provides overall
effectiveness proportional to its costs;
(E) How the remedy utilizes
permanent solutions and alternative
u eatment technologies or resource
recovery technologies to the
maximum extent practicable, and
(F) Whether the preference for
remedies employing treatment which
permanently and significantly reduces
the toxicity, mobility, or volume of
the hazardous substances, pollutants,
or contaminants as a principal
element is or is not satisfied by the
selected remedy. If this preference is
not satisfied, the record of decision
must explain why a remedial action
involving such reductions in toxicity,
mobility, or volume was not selected.
(iii) The ROD also shall:
(A) Indicate, as appropriate, the
remediation goals, discussed in
paragraph (e)(2)(i) of this section,
that the remedy is expected to
achieve. Performance shall be
measured at appropriate locations in
the ground water, surface water,
soils, air, and other affected
environmental media. Measurement
relating to the performance of the
treatment processes and the
engineering controls may also be
identified, as appropriate;
(B) Discuss significant changes and
the response to comments described
in paragraph (f)(3)(i)(F) of this
section;
(C) Describe whether hazardous
substances, pollutants, or
contaminants will remain at the site
such that a review of the remedial
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 48
action under paragraph (f)(4)(ii) of
this section no less often than every
five years shall be required; and
(D) When appropriate, provide a
commitment for further analysis and
selection of long-term response
measures within an appropriate
time-frame.
(6) Community relations when the
record of decision is signed. After the
ROD is signed, the lead agency shall:
(1) Publish a notice of the
availability of the ROD in a major
local newspaper of general
circulation; and
(ii) Make the record of decision
available for public inspection and
copying at or near the facility at issue
prior to the commencement of any
remedial action.
§ 300.435 Remedial
design/remedial action, operation
and maintenance.
(a) General. The remedial
design/remedial action (RD/RA)
stage includes the development of the
actual design of the selected remedy
and implementation of the remedy
through construction. A period of
operation and maintenance may
follow the RA activities.
(b) RD/RA activities. (1) All
RD/RA activities shall be in
conformance with the remedy
selected and set forth in the ROD or
other decision document for that site.
Those portions of RD/RA sampling
and analysis plans describing the
QA/QC requirements for chemical
and analytical testing and sampling
procedures of samples taken for the
purpose of determining whether
cleanup action levels specified in the
ROD are achieved, generally will be
consistent with the requirements of §
300.430(b)(8).
(2) During the course of the
RD/RA, the lead agency shall be
responsible for ensuring that all
federal and state requirements that
are identified in the ROD as
applicable or relevant and
appropriate requirements for the
action are met. If waivers from any
ARARs are involved, the lead agency
shall be responsible for ensuring that
the conditions of the waivers are met.
(c) Community relations. (I) Prior
to the initiation of RD, the lead
agency shall review the CRP to
determine whether il should be
revised to describe further public
involvement activities during RD/RA
that are not already addressed or
provided for in the CRP.
(2) After the adoption of the ROD,
if the remedial action or enforcement
action taken, or the settlement or
consent decree entered into, differs
significantly from the remedy
selected in the ROD with respect to
scope, performance, or cost, the lead
agency shall consult with the support
agency, as appropriate, and shall
either:
(i) Publish an explanation of
significant differences when the
differences in the remedial or
enforcement action, settlement, or
consent decree significantly change
but do not fundamentally alter the
remedy selected in the ROD with
respect lo scope, performance, or
cost. To issue an explanation of
significant differences, the lead
agency shall:
(A) Make the explanation of
significant differences and supporting
information available to the public in
the administrative record established
under § 300.815 and the information
repository; and
(B) Publish a notice that briefly
summarizes the explanation of
significant differences, including the
reasons for such differences, in a
major local newspaper of general
circulation; or
(ii) Propose an amendment to the
ROD if the differences in the
remedial or enforcement action,
settlement, or consent decree
fundamentally alter the basic features
of the selected remedy with respect to
scope, perfoiTnance, or cost. To
amend the ROD, the lead agency, in
conjunction with the support agency,
as provided in § 300.515(e), shall:
(A) Issue a notice of availability and
brief description of the proposed
amendment to the ROD in a major
local newspaper of general
circulation;
(B) Make the proposed amendment
to the ROD and information
supporting the decision available for
public comment;
(C) Provide a reasonable
opportunity, not less than 30 calendar
days, for submission of written or
oral comments on the amendment to
the ROD. Upon timely request, the
lead agency will extend the public
comment period by a minimum of 30
additional days;
(D) Provide the opportunity for a
public meeting to be held
during the public comment period at
or near the facility at
issue;
(E) Keep a transcript of comments
received at the public meeting held
during the public comment period;
(F) Include in the amended ROD a
brief explanation of the amendment
and the response to each of the
significant comments, criticisms, and
new relevant information submitted
during the public comment period;
(G) Publish a notice of the
availability of the amended ROD in a
major local newspaper of general
circulation; and
(I I) Make the amended ROD and
supporting information available to
the public in the administrative
record and information repository
prior to the commencement of the
remedial action affected by the
amendment.
(3) After the completion of the final
engineering design, the lead agency
shall issue a fact sheet and provide,
as appropriate, a public briefing prior
to the initiation of the remedial
action.
(d) Contractor conflict of interest.
(1) For Fund-financed RD/RA and
O&M activities, the lead agency
shall:
(i) Include appropriate language in
the solicitation requiring potential
prime contractors to submit
information on their status, as well as
the status of their subcontractors,
parent companies, and affiliates, as
potentially responsible parties at the
site
(ii) Require potential prime
contractors to certify that, to the best
of their knowledge, they and their
potential subcontractors, parent
companies, and affiliates have
disclosed all information described in
§ 300.435(d)(l)(i) or that no such
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 49
information exists, and that any such
information discovered after
submission of their bid or proposal or
contract award will be disclosed
immediately.
(2) Prior to contract award, the lead
agency shall evaluate the information
provided by the potential prime
contractors and:
(i) Determine whether they have
conflicts of interest that could
significantly impact the performance
of the contract or the liability of
potential prime contractors or
subcontractors.
(ii) If a potential prime contractor or
subcontractor has a conflict of
interest that cannot be avoided or
otherwise resolved, and using that
potential prime contractor or
subcontractor to conduct RD/RA or
O&M work under a Fund-financed
action would not be in the best
interests of the state or federal
government, an offeror or bidder
contemplating use of that prime
contractor or subcontractor may be
declared nonresponsible or ineligible
for award in accordance with
appropriate acquisition regulations,
and the contract may be awarded to
the next eligible offeror or bidder.
(e) Recontracting. (1) If a
Fund-financed contract must be
terminated because additional work
outside the scope of the contract is
needed, EPA is authorized to take
appropriate steps to continue interim
RAs as necessary to reduce risks to
public health and the environment.
Appropriate steps may include
extending an existing contract for a
federal-lead RA or amending a
cooperative agreement for a
state-lead RA. Until the lead agency
can reopen the bidding process and
recontract to complete the RA, EPA
may take such appropriate steps as
described above to cover interim
work to reduce such risks, where:
(i) Additional work is found to be
needed as a result of such unforeseen
situations as newly discovered
sources, types, or quantities of
hazardous substances at a facility;
and
(ii) Performance of the complete
RA requires the lead agency to rebid
the contract because the existing
contract does not encompass this
newly discovered work.
(2) The cost of such interim actions
shall not exceed $2 million,
(f) Operation and maintenance. (1)
Operation and maintenance (O&M)
measures are initiated after the
remedy has achieved the remedial
action objectives and remediation
goals in the ROD, and is determined
to be operational and functional,
except for ground- or surface-water
restoration actions covered under §
300.435(f)(4). A state must provide
its assurance to assume responsibility
for O&M, including, where
appropriate, requirements for
maintaining institutional controls,
under § 300.510(c).
(2) A remedy becomes ' 'operational
and functional" either one year after
construction is complete, or when the
remedy is determined concurrently by
EPA and the state to be functioning
properly and is performing as
designed, whichever is earlier. EPA
may grant extensions to the one-year
period, as appropriate.
(3) For Fund-financed remedial
actions involving treatment or other
measures to restore ground- or
surface-water quality to a level that
assures protection of human health
and the environment, the operation of
such treatment or other measures for
a period of up to 10 years alter the
remedy becomes operational and
functional will be considered part of
the remedial action. Activities
required to maintain the effectiveness
of such treatment or measures
following the 10-year period, or after
remedial action is complete,
whichever is earlier, shall be
considered O&M. For the purposes
of federal funding provided under
CERCLA section 104(c)(6), a
restoration activity will be considered
administratively "complete" when:
(i) Measures restore ground- or
surface-water quality to a level that
assures protection of human health
and the environment;
(ii) Measures restore ground or
surface water to such a point thai
reductions in contaminant
concentrations are no longer
significant, or
(iii) Ten years have elapsed.
whichever is earliest.
(4) The following shall not be
deemed to constitute treatment or
other measures to restore
contaminated ground or surface water
under § 300.435(f)(3):
(1) Source control maintenance
measures; and
(ii) Ground- or surface-water
measures initiated for the primary
purpose of providing a
drinking-water supply, not for the
purpose of restoring ground water.
§ 300.440 Procedures for
planning and implementing
off-site response actions.
(a) Applicability. (1) This section
applies to any remedial or removal
action involving the off-site transfer
of any hazardous substance,
pollutant, or contaminant as defined
under CERCLA sections 101 (14)
and (33) ('' CERCLA waste") that is
conducted by EPA, States, private
parties, or other Federal agencies,
that is Fund-financed and/or is taken
pursuant to any CERCLA authority,
including cleanups at Federal
facilities under section 120 of
CERCLA, and cleanups under
section 311 of the Clean Water Act
(except for cleanup of petroleum
exempt under CERCLA).
Applicability extends to those actions
taken jointly under CERCLA and
another authority.
(2) In cases of emergency removal
actions under CERCLA, emergency
actions taken during remedial
actions, or response actions under
section 311 of the Clean Water Act
where the release poses an immediate
and significant threat to human health
and the environment, the On-Scene
Coordinator (OSC) may determine
that it is necessary to transfer
CERCLA waste off-site without
following the requirements of this
section.
(3) This section applies to
CERCLA wastes from cleanup
actions based on CERCLA decision
documents signed or consent decrees
lodged after October 17, 1986
( "post-SARA CERCLA wastes") as
well as those based on CERCLA
decision documents signed and
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 50
consent decrees lodged prior to
October 17, 1986 ("pre-SARA
CERCLA wastes"). Pre-SARA and
post-SARA CERCLA wastes are
subject to the same acceptability
criteria in § 300.440(b) (1) and (2).
(4) EPA (usually the EPA Regional
Office) will determine the
acceptability under this section of any
facility selected for the treatment,
storage, or disposal of CERCLA
waste. EPA will determine if there
are relevant releases or relevant
violations at a facility prior to the
facility's initial receipt of CERCLA
waste. A facility which has
previously been evaluated and found
acceptable under this rule (or the
preceding policy) is acceptable until
the EPA Regional Office notifies the
facility otherwise pursuant to §
300.440(d).
(5) Off-site transfers of those
laboratory samples and treatability
study CERCLA wastes from
CERCLA sites set out in paragraphs
(a)(5) (i) through (iii) of this section,
are not subject to the requirements of
this section. However, those
CERCLA wastes may not be
transferred back to the CERCLA site
unless the Remedial Project Manager
or OSC assures the proper
management of the CERCLA waste
samples or residues and gives
permission to the laboratory or
treatment facility for the samples
and/or residues to be returned to the
site.
(i) Samples of CERCLA wastes
sent to a laboratory for
characterization;
(ii) RCRA hazardous wastes that
are being transferred from a
CERCLA site for treatability studies
and that meet the requirements for an
exemption for RCRA under 40 CFR
261.4(e); and
(iii) Non-RCRA wastes that are
being transferred from a CERCLA
site for treatability studies and that
arc below the quantity threshold
established at 40 CFR 261.4(e)(2).
(b) Acceptability criteria. (1)
Facility compliance, (i) A facility will
be deemed in compliance for the
purpose of this rule if there are no
relevant violations at or affecting the
unit or units receiving CERCLA
waste:
(A) For treatment to standards
specified in 40 CFR part 268,
subpart D, including any
pre-treatment or storage units used
prior to treatment;
(B) For treatment to substantially
reduce its mobility, toxicity or
persistence in the absence of a
defined treatment standard, including
any pre-treatment or storage units
used prior to treatment; or
(C) For storage or ultimate disposal
of CERCLA waste not treated to the
previous criteria at the same facility.
(ii) Relevant violations include
significant deviations from
regulations, compliance order
provisions, or permit conditions
designed to: ensure that CERCLA
waste is destined for and delivered to
authorized facilities; prevent releases
of hazardous waste, hazardous
constituents, or hazardous substances
to the environment; ensure early
detection of such releases; or compel
corrective action for releases.
Criminal violations which result in
indictment are also relevant
violations. In addition, violations of
the following requirements may be
considered relevant:
(A) Applicable subsections of
sections 3004 and 3005 of RCRA or,
where applicable, other Federal laws
(such as the Toxic Substances
Control Act and subtitle D of
RCRA);
(B) Applicable sections of State
environmental laws; and
(C) In addition, land disposal units
at RCRA subtitle C facilities
receiving RCRA hazardous waste
from response actions authorized or
funded under CERCLA must be in
compliance with RCRA section
3004(o) minimum technology
requirements. Exceptions may be
made only if the unit has been
granted a waiver from these
requirements under 40 CFR 264.301.
(2) Releases, (i) Release is defined
in § 300.5 of this part. Releases
under this section do not include:
(A) De minimis releases;
(B) Releases permitted under
Federal programs or under Federal
programs delegated to the States
(Federally permitted releases are
defined in § 300.5), except to the
extent that such releases are found to
pose a threat to human health and the
environment; or
(C) Releases to the air that do not
exceed standards promulgated
pursuant to RCRA section 3004(n),
or absent such standards, or where
such standards do not apply, releases
to the air that do not present a threat
to human health or the environment.
(ii) Releases from units at a facility
designated for off-site transfer of
CERCLA waste must be addressed
as follows:
(A) Receiving units at RCRA
subtitle C facilities. CERCLA wastes
may be transferred to an off-site unit
regulated under subtitle C of RCRA,
including a facility regulated under
the permit-by-rule provisions of 40
CFR 270.60 (a), (b) or (c), only if
that unit is not releasing any
hazardous waste, hazardous
constituent, or hazardous substance
into the ground water, surface water,
soil or air.
(B) Other units at RCRA subtitle C
land disposal facilities. CERCLA
wastes may not be transferred to any
unit at a RCRA subtitle C land
disposal facility where a
non-receiving unit is releasing any
hazardous waste, hazardous
constituent, or hazardous substance
into the ground water, surface water,
soil, or air, unless that release is
controlled by an enforceable
agreement for corrective action under
subtitle C of RCRA or other
applicable Federal or State authority.
For purposes of this section, a RCRA
land disposal facility" is any RCRA
facility at which a land disposal unit
is located, regardless of whether a
land disposal unit is the receiving
unit.
(C) Other units at RCRA subtitle C
treatment, storage, and
permit-by-rule facilities. CERCLA
wastes may not be transferred to any
unit at a RCRA subtitle C treatment,
storage or permit-by-rule facility,
where a release of any hazardous
waste, hazardous constituent, or
hazardous substance from
non-receiving units poses a
significant threat to public health or
the environment, unless that release
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 51
is controlled by an enforceable
agreement for corrective action under
subtitle C of RCRA or other
applicable Federal or State authority.
(D) All other facilities. CERCLA
wastes should not be transferred to
any unit at an other-than-RCRA
subtitle C facility if the EPA
Regional Office has information
indicating that an environmentally
significant release of hazardous
substances has occurred at that
facility, unless the release is
controlled by an enforceable
agreement for corrective action under
an applicable Federal or State
authority.
(iii) Releases are considered to be
controlled" for the purpose of this
section as provided in § 300.440
(f)(3)(iv) and (f)(3)(v). A release is
not considered "controlled" for the
purpose of this section during the
pendency of administrative or judicial
challenges to corrective action
requirements, unless the facility has
made the requisite showing under §
300.440(e).
(c) Basis for determining
acceptability. (1) If a State finds that
a facility within its jurisdiction is
operating in non-compliance with
state law requirements including the
requirements of any Federal program
for which the State has been
authorized, EPA will determine, after
consulting with the State as
appropriate, if the violation is
relevant under the rule and if so,
issue an initial determination of
unacceptability.
(2) If a State finds that releases are
occurring at a facility regulated under
State law or a Federal program for
which the State is authorized, EPA
will determine, after consulting with
the State as appropriate, if the release
is relevant under the rule and if so,
issue an initial determination of
unacceptability.
(3) EPA may also issue initial
determinations of unacceptability
based on its own findings. EPA can
undertake any inspections, data
collection and/or assessments
necessary. EPA will then notify with
the State about the results and issue a
determination notice if a relevant
violation or release is found.
(d) Determination of
unacceptability. (1) Upon initial
determination by the EPA Regional
Office that a facility being considered
for the off-site transfer of any
CERCLA waste does not meet the
criteria for acceptability stated in §
300.440(b), the EPA Region shall
notify the owner/operator of such
facility, and the responsible agency in
the State in which the facility is
located, of the unacceptability
finding. The notice will be sent by
certified and first-class mail, return
receipt requested. The certified
notice, if not acknowledged by the
return receipt card, should be
considered to have been received by
the addressee if properly sent by
regular mail to the last address
known to the EPA Regional Office.
(2) The notice shall generally: state
that based on available information
from a RCRA Facility Assessment
(RFA), inspection, or other data
sources, the facility has been found
not to meet the requirements of §
300.440; cite the specific acts,
omissions, or conditions which form
the basis of these findings; and
inform the owner/operator of the
procedural recourse available under
this regulation.
(3) A facility which was previously
evaluated and found acceptable under
this rule (or the preceding policy)
may continue to receive CERCLA
waste for 60 calendar days after the
date of issuance of the notice, unless
otherwise determined in accordance
with paragraphs (d)(8) or (d)(9) of
this section.
(4) If the owner or operator of the
facility in question submits a written
request lor an informal conference
with the EPA Regional Office within
10 calendar days from the issuance of
the notice, the EPA Regional Office
shall provide the opportunity for such
conference no later than 30 calendar
days after the date of the notice, if
possible, to discuss the basis for the
underlying violation or release
determination, and its relevance to
the facility's acceptability to receive
CERCLA cleanup wastes. State
representatives may attend the
informal conference, submit written
comments prior to the informal
conference, and/or request additional
meetings with the EPA Region,
relating to the unacceptability issue
during the determination process. If
no State representative is present,
EPA shall notify the State of the
outcome of the conference. An
owner/operator may submit written
comments by the 30th day after
issuance of the notice, in addition to
or instead of requesting an informal
conference.
(5) If the owner or operator neither
requests an informal conference nor
submits written comments, the
facility becomes unacceptable to
receive CERCLA waste on the 60th
day after the notice is issued (or on
such other date designated under
paragraph (d)(9) of this section). The
facility will remain unacceptable until
such time as the EPA Regional
Office notifies the owner or operator
otherwise.
(6) If an informal conference is
held or written comments are
received, the EPA Region shall
decide whether or not the information
provided is sufficient to show that the
facility is operating in physical
compliance with respect to the
relevant violations cited in the initial
notice of unacceptability, and that all
relevant releases have been
eliminated or controlled, as required
in paragraph (b)(2) of this section,
such that a determination of
acceptability would be appropriate.
EPA will notify the owner/operator in
writing whether or not the
information provided is sufficient to
support a determination of
acceptability. Unless EPA determines
thai information provided by the
owner/operator and the State is
sufficient to support a determination
of acceptability, the facility becomes
unacceptable on the 60th calendar
day after issuance of the original
notice of unacceptability (or other
date established pursuant to
paragraphs (d)(8) or (d)(9) of this
section).
(7) Within 10 days of hearing from
the EPA Regional Office after the
informal conference or the submittal
of written comments, the
owner/operator or the State may
request a reconsideration of the
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 52
unacceptability determination by the
EPA Regional Administrator (RA).
Reconsideration may be by review of
the record, by conference, or by other
means deemed appropriate by the
Regional Administrator;
reconsideration does not
automatically stay the determination
beyond the 60-day period. The
owner/operator will receive notice in
writing of the decision of the RA.
(8) The EPA Regional
Administrator may decide to extend
the 60-day period if more time is
required to review a submission. The
facility owner/operator shall be
notified in writing if the Regional
Administrator extends the 60 days.
(9) The EPA Regional Office may
decide that a facility's unacceptability
is immediately effective (or effective
in less than 60 days) in extraordinary
situations such as, but not limited to,
emergencies at the facility or
egregious violations. The EPA
Region shall notify the facility
owner/operator of the date of
unacceptability, and may modify
timeframes for comments and other
procedures accordingly.
(e) Unacceptability during
administrative and judicial challenges
of corrective action decisions. For a
facility with releases that are subject
to a corrective action permit, order,
or decree, an administrative or
judicial challenge to the corrective
action (or a challenge to a permit
modification calling for additional
corrective action) shall not be
considered to be part of a corrective
action "program" controlling those
releases and shall not act to stay a
determination of unacceptability
under this rule. However, such
facility may remain acceptable to
receive CERCLA waste during the
pendency of the appeal or litigation
if:
(1) It satisfies the EPA Regional
Office that adequate interim
corrective action measures will
continue at the facility; or
(2) It demonstrates to the EPA
Regional Office the absence of a
need to take corrective action during
the short-term, interim period. Either
demonstration may be made during
the 60-day review period in the
context of the informal conference
and RA reconsideration.
(f) Re-evaluating unacceptability.
If, after notification of unacceptability
and the opportunity to confer as
described in § 300.440(d), the facility
remains unacceptable, the facility can
regain acceptability. A facility found
to be unacceptable to receive
CERCLA wastes based on relevant
violations or
(1) Judgment on the merits. The
facility has prevailed on the merits in
an administrative or judicial
challenge to the finding of
noncompliance or uncontrolled
releases upon which the
unacceptability determination was
based.
(2) Relevant violations. The facility
has demonstrated to the EPA Region
its return to physical compliance for
the relevant violations cited in the
notice
(3) Releases. The facility has
demonstrated to the EPA Region
thai:
(i) All releases from receiving units
at RCRA subtitle C facilities have
been eliminated and prior
contamination from such releases is
controlled by a corrective action
program approved under subtitle C of
RCRA;
(ii) All releases from other units at
RCRA. subtitle C land disposal
facilities are controlled by a
corrective action program approved
under subtitle C of RCRA;
(iii) All releases from other units at
RCRA subtitle C treatment and
storage facilities do not pose a
significant threat to human health or
the environment, or are controlled by
a corrective action program approved
under subtitle C of RCRA.
(iv) A RCRA subtitle C corrective
action program may be incorporated
into a permit, order, or decree,
including the following: a corrective
action order under RCRA section
3008(h), section 7003 or section
3013, a RCRA permit under 40 CFR
264.100 or 264.101, or a permit
under an equivalent authority in a
State authorized for corrective action
under RCRA section 3004(u).
Releases will be deemed controlled
upon issuance of the order, permit, or
decree which initiates and requires
completion of one or more of the
following: a RCRA Facility
Investigation, a RCRA Corrective
Measures Study, and/or Corrective
Measures Implementation. The
release remains controlled as long as
the facility is in compliance with the
order, permit, or decree, and enters
into subsequent agreements for
implementation of additional
corrective action measures when
necessary, except during periods of
administrative or judicial challenges,
when the facility must make a
demonstration under § 300.440(e) in
order to remain acceptable.
(v) Facilities with releases
regulated under other applicable
Federal laws, or State laws under a
Federally-delegated program may
regain acceptability under this section
if the releases are deemed by the
EPA Regional Office not to pose a
threat to human health or the
environment, or if the facility enters
into an enforceable agreement under
those laws to conduct corrective
action activities to control releases.
Releases will be deemed controlled
upon the issuance of an order, permit,
or decree which initiates and requires
one or more of the following: a
facility investigation, a corrective
action study, and/or corrective
measures implementation. The
release remains controlled as long as
the facility is in compliance with the
order, permit, or decree, and enters
into subsequent agreements for
implementation of additional
corrective measures when necessary,
except during periods of
administrative or judicial challenges,
when the facility must make a
demonstration under § 300.440(e) in
order to remain acceptable.
(4) Prior to the issuance of a
determination that a facility has
relumed to acceptability, the EPA
Region shall notify the State in which
the facility is located, and provide an
opportunity for the State to discuss
the facility's acceptability status with
EPA.
(5) An unacceptable facility may be
reconsidered for acceptability
whenever the EPA Regional Office
finds that the facility fulfills the
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 53
criteria stated in § 300.440(b). Upon
such a finding, the EPA Regional
Office shall notify the facility and the
State in writing.

unless otherwise noted.
§ 300.500 General.
(a) EPA shall ensure meaningful
and substantial state involvement in
hazardous substance response as
specified in this subpart. EPA shall
provide an opportunity for state
participation in removal,
pre-remedial, remedial, and
enforcement response activities. EPA
shall encourage states to enter into an
EPA/state Superfund Memorandum
of Agreement (SMOA) under §
300.505 to increase state
involvement and strengthen the
EPA/state partnership.
(b) EPA shall encourage states to
participate in Fund-financed response
in two ways. Pursuant to §
300.515(a), states may either assume
the lead through a cooperative
agreement for the response action or
may be the support agency in
EPA-lead remedial response. Section
300.515 sets forth requirements for
state involvement in EPA-lead
remedial and enforcement response
and also addresses comparable
requirements for EPA involvement in
state-lead remedial and enforcement
response. Section 300.520 specifies
requirements for state involvement in
EPA-lead enforcement negotiations.
Section 300.525 specifies
requirements for state involvement in
removal actions. In addition to the
requirements set forth in this subpart,
40 CFR part 35, subpart O,
Cooperative Agreements and
Superfund State Contracts for
Superfund Response Actions,"
contains further requirements for
state participation during response.
§ 300.505 EPA/State Superfund
Memorandum of Agreement
(SMOA).
(a) The SMOA may establish the
nature and extent of EPA and state
interaction during EPA-lead and
state-lead response (Indian tribes
meeting the requirements of §
300.515(b) may be treated as slates
for purposes of this section). EPA
shall enter into SMOA discussions if
requested by a state. The following
may be addressed in a SMOA:
(1) The EPA/state or Indian tribe
relationship for removal,
pre-remedial, remedial, and
enforcement response, including a
description of the roles and the
responsibilities of each.
(2) The general requirements for
EPA oversight. Oversight
requirements may be more
specifically defined in cooperative
agreements.
(3) The general nature of lead and
support agency interaction regarding
the review of key documents and/or
decision points in removal,
pre-remedial, remedial, and
enforcement response. The
requirements for EPA and state
review of each other's key documents
when each is serving as the support
agency shall be equivalent to the
extent practicable. Review times
agreed to in the SMOA must also be
documented in site-specific
cooperative agreements or Superfund
state contracts in order to be binding.
(4) Procedures for modification of
the SMOA (e.g., if EPA and a state
agree that the lead and support
agency roles and responsibilities
have changed, or if modifications are
required to achieve desired goals).
(b) The SMOA and any
modifications thereto shall be
executed by the EPA Regional
AdminisU'ator and the head of the
state agency designated as lead
agency for state implementation of
CERCLA.
(c) Site-specific agreements entered
into pursuant to section 104(d)( 1) of
CERCLA shall be developed in
accordance with 40 CFR part 35,
subpart O. The SMOA shall not
supersede such agreements.
(d)(1) EPA and the state shall
consult annually to determine
priorities and make lead and support
agency designations for removal,
pre-remedial, remedial, and
enforcement response to be
conducted during the next fiscal year
and to discuss future priorities and
long-term requirements for response.
These consultations shall include the
exchange of information on both
Fund- and non-Fund-financed
response activities. The SMOA may
describe the timeframe and process
for the EPA/state consultation.
(2) The following activities shall be
discussed in the EPA/state
consultations established in the
SMOA, or otherwise initiated and
documented in writing in the absence
of a SMOA, on a site-specific basis
with EPA and the state identifying the
lead agency for each response action
discussed:
(i) Pre-remedial response actions,
including preliminary assessments
and site inspections;
(ii) Hazard Ranking System scoring
and NPL listing and deletion
activities;
(iii) Remedial phase activities,
including remedial
investigation/feasibility study,
identification of potential applicable
or relevant and appropriate
requirements (ARARs) under federal
and state environmental laws and, as
appropriate, other advisories, criteria,
or guidance to be considered (TBCs),
proposed plan, ROD, remedial
design, remedial action, and
operation and maintenance;
(iv) Potentially responsible party
(PRP) searches, notices to PRPs,
response to information requests,
PRP negotiations, oversight of PRPs,
other enforcement actions pursuant to
state law, and activities where the
state provides support to EPA;
(v) Compilation and maintenance of
the administrative record for
selection of a response action as
required by subpart I of this part;
(vi) Related site support activities;
(vii) State ability to share in the cost
and liming of payments; and
(viii) General CERCLA
implementation activities.
(3) If a state is designated as the
lead agency for a non-Fund-financed
action at an NPL site, the SMOA
shall be supplemented by
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 54
site-specific enforcement agreements
between EPA and the state which
specify schedules and EPA
involvement.
(4) In the absence of a SMOA, EPA
and the state shall comply with the
requirements in § 300.515(h). If the
SMOA does not address all of the
requirements specified in §
300.515(h), EPA and the state shall
comply with any unaddressed
requirements in that section.
§300.510 State assurances.
(a) A Fund-financed remedial action
undertaken pursuant to CERCLA
section 104(a) cannot proceed unless
a state provides its applicable
required assurances. The assurances
must be provided by the state prior to
the initiation of remedial action
pursuant to a Superfiind state
contract for EPA-lead (or political
subdivision-lead) remedial action or
pursuant to a cooperative agreement
for a state-lead remedial action. The
SMOA may not be used for this
purpose. Federally recognized Indian
tribes are not required to provide
CERCLA section 104(c)(3)
assurances for Fund-financed
response actions. Further
requirements pertaining to state,
political subdivision, and federally
recognized Indian tribe involvement
in CERCLA response are found in 40
CFR part 35, subpart O.
(b)(1) The state is not required to
share in the cost of state-or EPA-lead
Fund-financed removal actions
(including remedial planning
activities associated with remedial
actions) conducted pursuant to
CERCLA section 104 unless the
facility was operated by the state or a
political subdivision thereof at the
time of disposal of hazardous
substances therein and a remedial
action is ultimately undertaken at the
site. Such remedial planning
activities include, but are not limited
to, remedial investigations (RIs),
feasibility studies (FSs), and remedial
design (RD). States shall be required
to share 50 percent, or greater, in the
cost of all Fund-financed response
actions if the facility was publicly
operated at the time of the disposal of
hazardous substances. For other
facilities, except federal facilities, the
state shall be required to share 10
percent of the cost of the remedial
action.
(2) CERCLA section 104(c)(5)
provides that EPA shall grant a state
credit for reasonable, documented,
direct, out-of-pocket, non-federal
expenditures subject to the
limitations specified in CERCLA
section 104(c)(5). For a state to apply
credit toward its cost share, it must
enter into a cooperative agreement or
Superfiind state contract. The state
must submit as soon as possible, but
no later than at the time CERCLA
section 104 assurances are provided
for a remedial action, its accounting
of eligible credit expenditures for
EPA verification. Additional credit
requirements are contained in 40
CFR part 35, subpart O.
(3) Credit may be applied to a
state's future cost share requirements
at NPL sites for response
expenditures or obligations incurred
by the stale or a political subdivision
from January 1, 1978 to December
11,1980, and for the remedial action
expenditures incurred only by the
state after October 17, 1986.
(4) Credit that exceeds the required
cost share at the site for which the
credit is granted may be transferred
to another site to offset a state's
required remedial action cost share.
(c)(1) Prior to a Fund-financed
remedial action, the state must also
provide its assurance in accordance
with CERCLA section 104(c)(3)(A)
to assume responsibility for operation
and maintenance of implemented
remedial actions for the expected life
of such actions. In addition, when
appropriate, as part of the O&M
assurance, the state must assure that
any institutional controls
implemented as part of the remedial
action at a site are in place, reliable,
and will remain in place after the
initiation of O&M. The state and
EPA shall consult on a plan for
operation and maintenance prior to
the initiation of a remedial action.
(2) After a joint EPA/State
inspection of the implemented
Fund-financed remedial action under
§ 300.515(g), EPA may share, for
any extension period established in §
300.435(f)(2), in the cost of the
operation of the remedy to ensure that
the remedy is operational and
fiinctional. In the case of restoration
of ground or surface water, EPA shall
share in the cost of the State's
operation of ground- or surface-water
restoration remedial actions as
specified in § 300.435(f)(3).
(d) In accordance with CERCLA
sections 104 (c)(3)(B) and
121 (d)(3), if the remedial action
requires off-site storage, destruction,
treatment, or disposal, the state must
provide its assurance before the
remedial action begins on the
availability of a hazardous waste
disposal facility that is in compliance
with CERCLA section 121(d)(3) and
is acceptable to EPA.
(e)(1) In accordance with CERCLA
section 104(c)(9), EPA shall not
provide any remedial action pursuant
to CERCLA section 104 until the
state in which the release occurs
enters into a cooperative agreement
or Superfiind state contract with EPA
providing assurances deemed
adequate by EPA that the state will
assure the availability of hazardous
waste treatment or disposal facilities
which:
(1) Have adequate capacity for the
destruction, treatment, or secure
disposition of all hazardous wastes
that are reasonably expected to be
generated within the state during the
20-year period following the date of
such cooperative agreement or
Superfiind state contract and to be
destroyed, treated, or disposed;
(ii) Are within the state, or outside
the state in accordance with an
interstate agreement or regional
agreement or authority;
(iii) Are acceptable to EPA; and
(iv) Are in compliance with the
requirements of Subtitle C of the
Solid Waste Disposal Act.
(2) This rule does not address
whether or not Indian tribes are states
for purposes of this paragraph (e).
(f) EPA may determine that an
interest in real property must be
acquired in order to conduct a
response action. However, as
provided in CERCLA section
104(j)(2), EPA may acquire an
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 55
interest in real estate in order to
conduct a remedial action only if the
State in which the interest to be
acquired is located provides
assurances, through a contract,
cooperative agreement or otherwise,
that the State will accept transfer of
the interest upon completion of the
remedial action. For purposes of this
paragraph,1' completion of the
remedial action" is the point at which
operation and maintenance (O&M)
measures would be initiated pursuant
to § 300.435(f). The State may
accept a transfer of interest at an
earlier point in time if agreed upon in
writing by the State and EPA. Indian
tribe assurances are to be provided as
set out at 40 CFR part 35, subpart O,
§35.6110(b)(2).
§ 300.515 Requirements for state
involvement in remedial and
enforcement response.
(a) General. (1) States are
encouraged to undertake actions
authorized under subpart E. Section
104(d)(1) of CERCLA authorizes
EPA to enter into cooperative
agreements or contracts with a stale,
political subdivision, or a federally
recognized Indian tribe to carry out
Fund-financed response actions
authorized under CERCLA, when
EPA determines that the state, the
political subdivision, or federally
recognized Indian tribe has the
capability to undertake such actions.
EPA will use a cooperative
agreement to transfer funds to those
entities to undertake Fund-financed
response activities. The requirements
for states, political subdivisions, or
Indian tribes to receive funds as a
lead or support agency for response
are addressed at 40 CFR part 35,
subpart O.
(2) For EPA-lead Fund-financed
remedial planning activities,
including, but not limited to, remedial
investigations, feasibility studies, and
remedial designs, the state agcnc>
acceptance of the support agency role
during an EPA-lead response shall be
documented in a letter, SMOA, or
cooperative agreement. Superfund
state contracts are unnecessary for
this purpose.
(3) Cooperative agreements and
Superfund state contracts are only
appropriate for non-Fund-financed
response actions if a state intends to
seek credit for remedial action
expenses under § 300.510.
(b) Indian tribe involvement during
response. To be afforded
substantially the same treatment as
states under section 104 of CERCLA,
the governing body of the Indian tribe
must:
(1) Be federally recognized; and
(2) Have a tribal governing body
that is currently performing
governmental functions to promote
the health, safety, and welfare of the
affected population or to protect the
environment within a defined
geographic area; and
(3) Have jurisdiction over a site at
which Fund-financed response,
including pre-remedial activities, is
contemplated.
(c) State involvement in PA/SI and
National Priorities List process. EPA
shall ensure state involvement in the
listing and deletion process by
providing states opportunities for
review, consultation, or concurrence
specified in this section.
(1) EPA shall consult with states as
appropriate on the information to be
used in developing MRS scores for
releases.
(2) EPA shall, to the extent feasible,
provide the state 30 working days to
review releases which were scored
by EPA and which will be considered
for placement on the National
Priorities List (NPL).
(3) EPA shall provide the state 30
working days to review and concur
on the Notice of Intent to Delete a
release from the NPL. Section
300.425 describes the EPA/state
consultation and concurrence process
for deleting releases from the NPL.
(d) State involvement in RI/FS
process A key component of the
EPA/state partnership shall be the
communication of potential federal
and stale ARARs and, as appropriate,
other pertinent advisories, criteria, or
guidance to be considered (TBCs).
(1) In accordance with §§
300.400(g) and 300.430, the lead
and support agencies shall identify
their respective potential ARARs and
communicate them to each other in a
timely manner, i.e., no later than the
early stages of the comparative
analysis described in §
300.430(e)(9), such that sufficient
time is available for the lead agency
to consider and incorporate all
potential ARARs without inordinate
delays and duplication of effort. The
lead and support agencies may also
identify TBCs and communicate them
in a timely manner.
(2) When a state and EPA have
entered into a SMOA, the SMOA
may specify a consultation process
which requires the lead agency to
solicit potential ARARs at specified
points in the remedial planning and
remedy selection processes. At a
minimum, the SMOA shall include
the points specified in §
300.515(h)(2). The SMOA shall
specify timeframes for support
agency response to lead agency
requests to ensure that potential
ARARs are identified and
communicated in a timely manner.
Such timeframes must also be
documented in site-specific
agreements. The SMOA may also
discuss identification and
communication of TBCs.
(3) If EPA in its statement of a
proposed plan intends to waive any
state-identified ARARs, or does not
agree with the state that a certain
state standard is an ARAR, it shall
formally notify the state when it
submits the RI/FS report for state
review or responds to the state's
submission of the RI/FS report.
(4) EPA shall respond to state
comments on waivers from or
disagreements about state ARARs, as
well as the preferred alternative when
making the RI/FS report and
proposed plan available for public
comment.
(e) State involvement in selection of
remedy. (1) Both EPA and the state
shall be involved in preliminary
discussions of the alternatives
addressed in the FS prior to
preparation of the proposed plan and
ROD. At the conclusion of the RI/FS,
the lead agency, in conjunction with
the support agency, shall develop a
proposed plan. The support agency
shall have an opportunity to comment
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 56
on the plan. The lead agency shall
publish a notice of availability of the
RI/FS report and a brief analysis of
the proposed plan pursuant to §
300.430(e) and (f). Included in the
proposed plan shall be a statement
that the lead and support agencies
have reached agreement or, where
this is not the case, a statement
explaining the concerns of the
support agency with the lead agency's
proposed plan. The state may not
publish a proposed plan that EPA has
not approved. EPA may assume the
lead from the state if agreement
cannot be reached.
(2)(i) EPA and the state shall
identify, at least annually, sites for
which RODs will be prepared during
the next fiscal year, in accordance
with § 300.515(h)(1). For all
EPA-lead sites, EPA shall prepare
the ROD and provide the state an
opportunity to concur with the
recommended remedy. For
Fund-financed state-lead sites, EPA
and the state shall designate sites, in
a site-specific agreement, for which
the state shall prepare the ROD and
seek EPA's concurrence and adoption
of the remedy specified therein, and
sites for which EPA shall prepare the
ROD and seek the state's
concurrence. EPA and the state may
designate sites for which the state
shall prepare the ROD for
non-Fund-financed state-lead
enforcement response actions (i.e.,
actions taken under state law) at an
NPL site. The state may seek EPA's
concurrence in the remedy specified
therein. Either EPA or the state may
choose not to designate a site as
state-lead.
(ii) State concurrence on a ROD is
not a prerequisite to EPA's selecting
a remedy, i.e., signing a ROD, nor is
EPA's concurrence a prerequisite to a
state's selecting a remedy at a
non-Fund-financed state-lead
enforcement site under state law.
Unless EPA's Assistant
Administrator for Solid Waste and
Emergency Response or Regional
Administrator concurs in writing
with a state-prepared ROD, EPA
shall not be deemed to have
approved the state decision. A state
may not proceed with a
Fund-financed response action unless
EPA has first concurred in and
adopted the ROD. Section
300.510(a) specifies limitations on
EPA's proceeding with a remedial
action without stale assurances.
(iii) The lead agency shall provide
the support agency with a copy of the
signed ROD for remedial actions to
be conducted pursuant to CERCLA.
(iv) On state-lead sites identified for
EPA concurrence, the state generally
shall be expected to maintain its lead
agency status through the completion
of the remedial action.
(f) Enhancement of remedy. (1) A
state may ask EPA to make changes
in or expansions of a remedial action
selected under subpart E.
(1) If EPA finds that the proposed
change or expansion is necessary and
appropriate to the EPA-selected
remedial action, the remedy may be
modified (consistent with §
300.435(c)(2)) and any additional
costs paid as pail of the remedial
action.
(ii) If EPA finds that the proposed
change or expansion is not necessary
to the selected remedial action, but
would not conflict or be inconsistent
with the EPA-selected remedy, EPA
may agree to integrate the proposed
change or expansion into the planned
CERCLA remedial work if:
(A) The state agrees to fund the
entire additional cost associated with
the change or expansion; and
(B) The state agrees to assume the
lead for supervising the state-funded
component of the remedy or, if EPA
determines that the state-funded
component cannot be conducted as a
separate phase or activity, for
supervising the remedial design and
construction of the entire remedy.
(2) Where a state does not concur in
a remedial action secured by EPA
under CERCLA section 106, and the
slate desires to have the remedial
action conform to an ARAR that has
been waived under §
300.430(0( 1 )(ii)(C), a state may
seek to have that remedial action so
conform, in accordance with the
procedures set out in CERCLA
section 121(f)(2).
(g) State involvement in remedial
design/remedial action. The extent
and nature of state involvement
during remedial design and remedial
action shall be specified in
site-specific cooperative agreements
or Superfund state contracts,
consistent with 40 CFR part 35,
subpart O. For Fund-financed
remedial actions, the lead and
support agencies shall conduct a joint
inspection at the conclusion of
construction of the remedial action to
determine that the remedy has been
constructed in accordance with the
ROD and with the remedial design.
(h) Requirements for state
involvement in absence of SMOA. In
the absence of a SMOA, EPA and the
state shall comply with the
requirements in § 300.515(h). If the
SMOA does not address all of the
requirements specified in §
300.515(h), EPA and the state shall
comply with any unaddressed
requirements in that section.
(1) Annual consultations. EPA shall
conduct consultations with states at
least annually to establish priorities
and identify and document in writing
the lead for remedial and
enforcement response for each NPL
site within the state for the upcoming
fiscal year. States shall be given the
opportunity to participate in
long-term planning efforts for
remedial and enforcement response
during these annual consultations.
(2) Identification of ARARs and
TBCs. The lead and support agencies
shall discuss potential ARARs during
the scoping of the RI/FS. The lead
agency shall request potential
ARARs from the support agency no
later than the time that the site
characterization data are available.
The support agency shall
communicate in writing those
potential ARARs to the lead agency
within 30 working days of receipt of
the lead agency request for these
ARARs. The lead and support
agencies may also discuss and
communicate other pertinent
advisories, criteria, or guidance to be
considered (TBCs). After the initial
screening of alternatives has been
completed but prior to initiation of
the comparative analysis conducted
during the detailed analysis phase of
the FS, the lead agency shall request
-------
40CFR300 NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 57
that the support agency communicate
any additional requirements that are
applicable or relevant and
appropriate to the alternatives
contemplated within 30 working days
of receipt of this request. The lead
agency shall thereafter consult the
support agency to ensure that
identified ARARs and TBCs are
updated as appropriate.
(3) Support agency review of lead
agency documents. The lead agency
shall provide the support agency an
opportunity to review and comment
on the RI/FS, proposed plan, ROD,
and remedial design, and any
proposed determinations on potential
ARARs and TBCs. The support
agency shall have a minimum of 10
working days and a maximum of 15
working days to provide comments to
the lead agency on the RI/FS, ROD,
ARAR/TBC determinations, and
remedial design. The support agency
shall have a minimum of five
working days and a maximum of 10
working days to comment on the
proposed plan.
(i) Administrative record
requirements. The state, where il is
the lead agency for a Fund-financed
site, shall compile and maintain the
administrative record for selection of
a response action under subpart I of
this part unless specified otherwise in
the SMOA.
§ 300.520 State involvement in
EPA-lead enforcement
negotiations.
(a) EPA shall notify states of
response action negotiations to be
conducted by EPA with potentially
responsible parties during each fiscal
year.
(b) The state must notify EPA of
such negotiations in which it intends
to participate.
(c) The state is not foreclosed from
signing a consent decree if it does not
participate substantially in the
negotiations.
§ 300.525 State involvement in
removal actions.
(a) States may undertake
Fund-financed removal actions
pursuant to a cooperative agreement
with EPA. State-lead removal actions
taken pursuant to cooperative
agreements must be conducted in
accordance with § 300.415 on
removal actions, and 40 CFR part 35,
subpart O.
(b) Slates are not required under
section 104(c)(3) of CERCLA to
share in the cost of a Fund-financed
removal action, unless the removal is
conducted at an NPL site that was
operated by a state or political
subdivision at the time of disposal of
hazardous substances therein and a
Fund-financed remedial action is
ultimately undertaken at the site. In
this situation, states are required to
share, 50 percent or greater, in the
cost of all removal (including
remedial planning) and remedial
action costs at the time of the
remedial action.
(c) States are encouraged to provide
for post-removal site control as
discussed in § 300.415(k) for all
Fund-financed removal actions.
(d) States shall be responsible for
identifying potential state ARARs for
all Fund-financed removal actions
and for providing such ARARs to
EPA in a timely manner for all
EPA-lead removal actions.
(e) EPA shall consult with a state on
all removal actions to be conducted
in that state.
Subpart G-Trustces for Natural
Resources
§ 300.600 Designation of federal
trustees.
(a) The President is required to
designate in the NCP those federal
officials who are to act on behalf of
the public as trustees for natural
resources. Federal officials so
designated will act pursuant to
section 107(1) of CERCLA, section
3 1 1 (0(5) of the CWA, and section
1006 of the OPA. Natural resources
means land, fish, wildlife, biota, air,
water, ground water, drinking water
supplies, and other such resources
belonging to, managed by, held in
trust by, appertaining to, or otherwise
controlled (hereinafter referred to as
"managed or controlled") by the
United States (including the
resources of the exclusive economic
zone).
(b) The following individuals shall
be the designated trustee(s) for
general categories of natural
resources, including their supporting
ecosystems. They are authorized to
act pursuant to section 107(f) of
CERCLA, section 311 (f)(5) of the
CWA, or section 1006 of the OPA
when there is injury to, destruction
of, loss of, or threat to natural
resources, including their supporting
ecosystems, as a result of a release of
a hazardous substance or a discharge
of oil. Notwithstanding the other
designations in this section, the
Secretaries of Commerce and the
Interior shall act as trustees of those
resources subject to their respective
management or control.
(1) Secretary of Commerce. The
Secretary of Commerce shall act as
trustee for natural resources managed
or controlled by DOC and for natural
resources managed or controlled by
other federal agencies and that are
found in, under, or using waters
navigable by deep draft vessels,
tidal ly influenced waters, or waters of
the contiguous zone, the exclusive
economic zone, and the outer
continental shelf. However, before
the Secretary takes an action with
respect to an affected resource under
the management or control of another
federal agency, he shall, whenever
practicable, seek to obtain the
concurrence of that other federal
agency. Examples of the Secretary's
trusteeship include the following
natural resources and their
supporting ecosystems: marine
fishery resources; anadromous fish;
endangered species and marine
mammals; and the resources of
National Marine Sanctuaries and
National Estuarine Research
Reserves
(2) Secretary of the Interior. The
Secretary of the Interior shall act as
trustee for natural resources managed
or controlled by the DOI. Examples
of the Secretary's trusteeship include
the following natural resources and
their supporting ecosystems:
migratory birds; anadromous fish;
-------
40 CFR 300 NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN pp 58
endangered species and marine
mammals; federally owned minerals;
and certain federally managed water
resources. The Secretary of the
Interior shall also be trustee for those
natural resources for which an Indian
tribe would otherwise act as trustee
in those cases where the United
States acts on behalf of the Indian
tribe.
(3) Secretary for the land managing
agency. For natural resources located
on, over, or under land administered
by the United States, the trustee shall
be the head of the department in
which the land managing agency is
found. The trustees for the principal
federal land managing agencies are
the Secretaries of DOI, USD A,
DOD, and DOE.
(4) Head of authorized agencies.
For natural resources located in the
United States but not otherwise
described in this section, the trustee
shall be the head of the federal
agency or agencies authorized to
manage or control those resources.
§ 300.605 State trustees.
State trustees shall act on behalf of
the public as trustees for natural
resources, including their supporting
ecosystems, within the boundary of a
state or belonging to, managed by,
controlled by, or appertaining to such
state. For the purposes of subpart G
of this part, the definition of the term
state" does not include Indian
tribes. The governor of a state is
encouraged to designate a state lead
mistee to coordinate all state trustee
responsibilities with other trustee
agencies and with response activities
of the RRT and OSC. The state's lead
trustee would designate a
representative to serve as contact
with the OSC. This individual should
have ready access to appropriate
state officials with environmental
protection, emergency response, and
natural resource responsibilities. The
EPA Administrator or USCG
Commandant or their designees may
appoint the state lead trustee as a
member of the Area Committee.
Response strategies should be
coordinated between the state and
other trustees and the OSC lor
specific natural resource locations in
an inland or coastal zone and should
be included in the Fish and Wildlife
and Sensitive Environments Plan
annex of the ACP.
§ 300.610 Indian tribes.
The tribal chairmen (or heads of the
governing bodies) of Indian tribes, as
defined in § 300.5, or a person
designated by the tribal officials,
shall act on behalf of the Indian tribes
as trustees lor the natural resources,
including their supporting
ecosystems, belonging to, managed
by, controlled by, or appertaining to
such Indian tribe, or held in trust for
the benefit of such Indian tribe, or
belonging to a member of such
Indian tribe, if such resources are
subject to a trust restriction on
alienation. When the tribal chairman
or head of the tribal governing body
designates another person as trustee,
the tribal chairman or head of the
tribal governing body shall notify the
President of such designation. Such
officials are authorized to act when
there is injury to, destruction of, loss
of, or threat to natural resources,
including their supporting

concurrent jurisdictions, they should
coordinate and cooperate in carrying
out these responsibilities.
(b) Trustees are responsible for
designating to the RRTs and the Area
Committees, lor inclusion in the RCP
and the ACP, appropriate contacts to
receive notifications from the
OSCs/RPMs of discharges or
releases.
(c)(l) Upon notification or
discovery of injury to, destruction of,
loss of, or threat to natural resources,
trustees may, pursuant to section
107(f) of CERCLA, or section
311 (f)(5) of the CWA, take the

natural resource damage assessments
located at 43 CFR part
11.
(2) Upon notification or discovery
of injury to, destruction of, loss of, or
loss of use of, natural resources, or
the potential for such, resulting from
a discharge of oil occurring after
August 18, 1990, the trustees,
pursuant to section 1006 of the OPA,
are to take the following actions:
(i) In accordance with OPA section
1006(c), determine the need for
assessment of natural resource
damages, collect data necessary for a

recommended actions concerning .
trustee resources that are potentially
affected by a discharge of oil. This
may include providing assistance to
the OSC in
identifying/recommending
pre-approved response techniques
and in predesignating shoreline types
and areas in ACPs.
(ii) The trustees shall assure,
through the lead administrative
trustee, that the OSC is informed of
their activities regarding natural
resource damage assessment that
may affect response operations in
order to assure coordination and
minimize any interference with such
operations. The trustees shall assure,
through the lead administrative
trustee, that all data from the natural
resource damage assessment
activities that may support more
effective operational decisions are
provided in a timely manner to the
OSC.
(iii) When circumstances permit,
the OSC shall share the use of federal
response resources (including but not
limited to aircraft, vessels, and
booms to contain and remove
discharged oil) with the trustees,
providing trustee activities do not
interfere with response actions. The
lead administrative trustee facilitates
effective and efficient communication
between the OSC and the other
trustees during response operations
and is responsible for applying to the
OSC for non-monetaiy federal
response resources on behalf of all
trustees. The lead administrative
trustee is also responsible for
applying to the NPFC for funding for
initiation of damage assessment for
injuries to natural resources.
(d) The authority of federal trustees
includes, but is not limited to the
following actions:
(1) Requesting that the Attorney
General seek compensation from the
responsible parties for the damages
assessed and for the costs of an
assessment and of restoration
planning; and

burning agents. RCPs and ACPs
shall, as appropriate, include
applicable preauthorization plans and
address the specific contexts in which
such products should and should not
be used. In meeting the provisions cf
this paragraph, preauthorization
plans may address factors such as the
potential sources and types of oil that
might be spilled, the existence and
location of environmentally sensitive
resources that might be impacted by
spilled oil, available product and
storage locations, available
equipment and adequately trained
operators, and the available means to
monitor product application and
effectiveness. The RRT
representatives from EPA and the
states with jurisdiction over the
waters of the area to which a
preauthorization plan applies and the
DOC and DOI natural resource
trustees shall review and either
approve, disapprove, or approve with
modification the preauthorization
plans developed by Area
Committees, as appropriate.
Approved preauthorization plans
shall be included in the appropriate
RCPs and ACPs. If the RRT
representatives from EPA and the
states with jurisdiction over the
waters of the area to which a
preauthorization plan applies and the
DOC and DOI natural resource
Uuslecs approve in advance the use
of certain products under specified
circumstances as described in the
preauthorization plan, the OSC may
authorize the use of the products
without obtaining the specific
concurrences described in
paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section.

addressed by the preauthorization
plans developed pursuant to
paragraph (a) of this section, the
OSC, with the concurrence of the
EPA representative to the RRT and,
as appropriate, the concurrence of the
RRT representatives from the states
with jurisdiction over the navigable
waters threatened by the release or
discharge, and in consultation with
the DOC and DOI natural resource
trustees, when practicable, may
authorize the use of dispersants,
surface washing agents, surface
collecting agents, bioremediation
agents, or miscellaneous oil spill
control agents on the oil discharge,
provided that the products are listed
on the NCP Product Schedule.
(c) The OSC, with the concurrence
of the EPA representative to the RRT
and, as appropriate, the concurrence
of the RRT representatives from the
states with jurisdiction over the
navigable waters threatened by the
release or discharge, and in
consultation with the DOC and DOI
natural resource trustees, when
practicable, may authorize the use of
burning agents on a case-by-case
basis.
(d) The OSC may authorize the use
of any dispersant, surface washing
agent, surface collecting agent, other
chemical agent, burning agent,
bioremediation agent, or
miscellaneous oil spill control agent,
including products not listed on the
NCP Product Schedule, without
obtaining the concurrence of the EPA
representative to the RRT and, as
appropriate, the RRT representatives
from the states with jurisdiction over
the navigable waters threatened by
the release or discharge, when, in the
judgment of the OSC, the use of the
product is necessary to prevent or
substantially reduce a hazard to
human life. Whenever the OSC
authorizes the use of a product
pursuant to this paragraph, the OSC
is to inform the EPA RRT
representative and, as appropriate,
the RRT representatives from the
affected states and, when practicable,
the DOC/DOI natural resources
trustees of the use of a product,

I. INTRODUCTION
The Federal Response Plan (FRP) was developed to address a natural, human, or technological
disaster, or emergency situation in which there is a need for Federal response assistance. Public
Law 93-288, as amended Public Law 100-707 and retitled the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief
and Emergency Assistance Act, provides the authority for the Federal government to respond to
disasters and emergencies in order to provide assistance to save lives and protect public health,
safety, and property. It is applicable to natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, snow
storms, and tornadoes, and technological emergencies involving radiological or hazardous
substances releases; and other incidents requiring Federal assistance. To facilitate Federal
assistance, the FRP employs a functional approach to group the assistance a state is most likely to
require into 12 Emergency Support Functions (ESFs). The Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) has primary response authority for ESF #10 - Hazardous Materials.
The magnitude of some disasters inevitably will overwhelm the capabilities of the State and local
response agencies. Upon activation of the FRP, Federal resources will be used to respond to
hazardous materials emergencies in support of the State and local governments.
This Supplement to EMERGENCY SUPPORT FUNCTION 10 (ESF #10) of the FRP describes
the procedures to be used for response to discharges of oil or release of hazardous materials by
the EPA and other assigned Federal support agencies in Federal Region 7, and radiological
emergencies by the Department of Energy. These procedures provide the framework for
responding to any major disaster resulting from either natural, human, or technologically caused
events for which the FRP is invoked, and contains the guidance necessary for implementing and
maintaining on-site operations.
This supplement outlines the organizational structure, policies, concept of operations, and
procedural guidelines for implementing ESF #10 within Federal Region 7. It also describes the
authorities, responsibilities, procedures, and resources to be used by the participating agencies
under the FRP. As a supplement to Annex #10 of the FRP, it provides guidance and procedures
for disaster response operations only within Federal Region 7. It therefore relies heavily upon
Annex 10 and the FRP to provide the framework and operational procedures under which this
supplement will be implemented.
A. PURPOSE
The purpose of this supplement is to provide for a coordinated response by ESF #10 Primary
and Support Agencies in the event of a major disaster requiring activation of the FRP in Federal
Region 7. Under the FRP, EPA has been tasked to coordinate the Federal response to
hazardous materials releases in support of state and local government, and to coordinate
information provided to the Federal Coordinating Officer (FCO). This supplement promotes the
-------
Appendix H FRP-ESF #10 Hazardous Materials Supplement
Page 2
coordination of regional, state, and local response actions and augments the material in ESF #10
Hazardous Materials Annex to the FRP. It is written in accordance with the National Oil and
Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP, 40 CFR 300) and the Federal
Radiological Emergency Response Plan (FRERP); Federal Register, 50 FR 46542 (Nov 8,
1985), and also derives its authority through the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33
U.S.C. 1251, et seq) and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and
Liability Act (CERCLA 42 U.S.C. 9601).
The underlying purpose of this supplement is to provide the organizational structure and
operational guidance for implementing the response systems developed under the NCP and
FRERP for Federal Region 7.
B. STRUCTURE OF THE SUPPLEMENT
Because this is the Federal Region 7 supplement to the ESF #10 Annex to the FRP, it relies
upon the Annex and the FRP for overlying guidance and direction. The Federal response to
releases of "hazardous materials" as defined under the FRP, is however, carried out under
separate and distinct Federal plans:
The National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan, which provides for
Federal responses to discharges of oil and releases of hazardous substances (chemical, toxic,
pollution and contaminant), and;
The Federal Radiological Emergency Response Plan (FRERP) (FR 46542), which provides for
Federal response to peacetime radiological emergencies.
To utilize the Federal programs represented by these plans, this supplement is structured to
serve as the vehicle for conducting Federal response actions within the overall context of the
Annex to the FRP.
Many aspects of emergency response are common to both the NCP and FRERP; however there
are response components unique to each. Therefore, the response operations that support ESF
#10 activities have been divided into sections that outline each plan's applicability:
GENERAL: This section discusses the response elements and/or information common to both
plans and their respective programs.
NCP/Oil and Hazardous Substances: This section discusses the response elements and/or
information relevant to the NCP.
FRERP/Radiological Materials: This section discusses the response elements and/or
information relevant to the FRERP.
-------
Appendix H FRP-ESF #10 Hazardous Materials Supplement
Page 3
C. SCOPE OF THE SUPPLEMENT
The scope of this supplement is consistent with that of the ESF #10 Annex to the FRP and is
applicable only to the conduct of disaster response operations within Federal Region 7.
NCP/Oil and Hazardous Substances
- The provisions of the NCP, as augmented by the Regional Integrated Contingency
Plan(RICP), apply to all Federal agencies responding under this FRP.
FRERP/Radioloeical Materials
Actual or potential releases of radiological materials are the responsibility of a Lead Federal
Agency (LFA) established under the FRERP. A Lead Federal Agency Official (LFAO) will be
designated to coordinate on-site response actions under the FRERP and to provide
information to the FCO. The Region 7 ESF #10 Chair has the primary responsibility for
coordinating and supporting LFA response actions within the scope of ESF #10.
D. RELATION TO EXISTING RESPONSE AUTHORITIES UNDER THE NCP AND THE
REGIONAL RESPONSE TEAM
The occurrence of a major disaster with multiple discharges and/or releases of hazardous
materials will invoke the FRP and activate the ESF #10 Annex to the FRP. Under this ESF, the
Regional Response Team (RRT) will support response activities throughout the affected area in
accordance with the NCP/RICP. Under the direction of Federal On-Scene Coordinators
(FOSCs), actions will be taken to contain, control and mitigate the effects of actual or potential
discharges and/or releases of hazardous materials. ESF #10, under the FRP, will provide the
bridge for coordinating NCP/RICP, directed response with disaster response actions being
conducted under other ESF's. ESF #10 also will be the intermediary through which assistance
may be provided to or acquired from other ESFs to support the overall response operations.
II. POLICIES
A. GENERAL
State and local governments have first line responsibility for the health and safety of the
citizenry. Under major disaster conditions where state and local governments' capabilities to
respond have been surpassed, the Federal government will provide support and assistance based
upon state-identified needs and priorities.
When the FRP has been invoked and ESF #10 activated for response, this supplement will serve
to provide overall coordination for Federal response activities associated with oil discharges and
hazardous materials releases within Federal Region 7.
-------
Appendix H FRP-ESF #10 Hazardous Materials Supplement
Page 4
To the extent possible under disaster conditions, response actions taken under ESF #10 will not
compromise the EPA Region 7's ability to respond to routine emergencies under the NCP
and/or the FRERP.
B. NCP/FRERP
The NCP serves as the basis for planning and utilization of Federal resources for responding to
releases or threats of releases of oil and hazardous substances. Response action under this ESF
#10 will follow the policies, procedures, directives and guidance developed to carry out the
provisions of the NCP. The FRERP serves as the basis for planning and utilization of Federal
resources responding to peacetime radiological emergencies. This supplement to the ESF will
provide overall management and coordination of NCP/FRERP directed response actions within
Federal Region 7. It will also provide the means for coordination of response operations with
ESF's.
C. MULTI-STATE RESPONSE ACTIONS
If a disaster affects more than one state within Federal Region 7, this supplement will organize
and manage concurrent response operations in each affected state. It will be responsible for
allocation of resources among the affected states, and for assuring that timely effective response
actions are properly coordinated and conducted.
D. ESF #10 REGIONAL CHAIR AND VICE-CHAIR
The EPA co-chair of the Federal Region 7 RRT will chair the Regional ESF #10. The U.S.
Coast Guard (USCG) co-chair to the RRT may serve as vice-chair for the ESF #10, and would
assist EPA in carrying out the management and conduct of preparedness and response activities
for the ESF.
E. BOUNDARY AGREEMENTS
The USCG and EPA have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) which
delineates the geographical areas of responsibilities, for predesignated Federal On-Scene
Coordinators (FOSCs) for pollution responses pursuant to the National Contingency Plan
(NCP). Specific jurisdictional agreements and predesignated OSC responsibilities are contained
in the Region 7 RICP.
F. SUPPORT AGENCIES
In accordance with the assignment of responsibilities in this supplement, support agencies will
provide resources and support in response to or threat of a discharge of oil; release of
hazardous substances, and/or radiological materials. Figure 1 lists the support agencies for ESF
#10.
o
Ai
-------
Appendix H FRP-ESF #10 Hazardous Materials Supplement
Page 5
To the extent possible, each support agency's representative to ESF #10 should be the Agency's
primary or alternate member on the RRT; otherwise, the representative should be a qualified
managerial person from their respective department or agency with the authority to speak for their
organization. The representative should be fully conversant on the policies and procedures of the
NCP and is to maintain close coordination with the ESF #10 for both planning and response
operations.
m. SITUATION
Under normal dat-to-day situations, state and local governments are capable of responding to
hazardous materials emergencies. When more significant incidents or disastrous events occur,
mechanisms are available to provide Federal support to state and local governments to protect
human health, property and the environment.
A DISASTER CONDITIONS
Federal Region 7 comprises four states that contain's approximately ten percent of the area of
the continental United States. Contained within or adjacent to regional boundaries is one major
seismic risk area, the New Madrid Fault; a minor seismic area, the Nemaha-Humboldt Fault; and
some of the most active tornado and flood areas in the country. An event originating from any
of these sources has the potential to produce a disaster of sufficient magnitude to require
Federal response support.
Located throughout the region are a multiplicity of fixed industrial facilities, federal installations,
and transportation centers that produce, store, or in some manner handle a host of hazardous
materials. A disaster, either natural, human, or technological in origin, affecting any number of
such facilities could produce major consequences to the surrounding populace, property, or the
environment. Circumstances could quickly overwhelm the capacity for response by state and
local governments, thereby requiring Federal support to supplement response.
1. Most of the concentrated population areas within the region are intermingled with
industrialized zones containing numerous chemical production, handling, or storage facilities,
oil refineries, and transportation corridors.
2. Most inland navigation corridors are vulnerable to accidental release of hazardous materials
in major proportions. Major river transfer facilities, pipeline crossings, and river lock and dam
sites are the most likely sites for major events. Many of these are found near or upstream of
environmentally sensitive areas.
3. Fixed transmission systems such as natural gas and petrochemical pipelines, pose major
hazards if their integrity is breached. Many of these systems also span environmentally
sensitive areas. The northeast portion of the U. S. could also be severely impacted by
-------
Appendix H FRP-ESF #10 Hazardous Materials Supplement
Page 6
disruption of major transmission lines that begin in hydrocarbon production areas and serve
populations in the Midwest and Northeast.
4. Regional planning described in this supplement is based on a "major disaster" scenario for
the occurrence of a natural, technological or human disaster as could reasonably be expected
to occur within an individual state within the region.
5. Local government is responsible for maintaining information/data concerning hazardous
materials within its respective jurisdiction, as per the Local Emergency Planning Commissions
(LEPCs) (SARA Title III, Sec. 312). Local government is also responsible for first response
and the safety and welfare of its constituents to the extent of its resources and capability.
Local government and/or local industry should immediately notify the appropriate state
agency of an impending or existing major event. It is then the state's responsibility to
determine whether the event is beyond the state's capabilities to control and whether to
request Federal assistance.
B. PLANNING ASSUMPTIONS
1. The occurrence of a major event, either natural, human, or technological in origin, will
present a "major disaster" scenario for discharge and/or release of hazardous materials. This
would involve multiple releases of maximum quantities of materials affecting large populations
and environmentally sensitive areas.
2. Under major disaster conditions, state and local governments will be unable to meet the
response needs required to assess, monitor, control, clean up and dispose of hazardous
materials released into the environment.
3. During the period immediately following a major disaster, a Presidential declaration will be
made and ESF #10 may be activated for deployment to the affected state. In the absence of
an immediate declaration, response actions will be activated under the existing authorities
(CERCLA, C.W.A.).
4. Communications and surface transportation into and out of impacted areas may be severely
limited initially, necessitating immediate air and/or marine support for deploying response
teams into the impacted zones.
5. The first response actions will be directed toward saving lives and protecting property.
These efforts will be according to pre-assigned missions and response to state and local
government needs as they can be identified.
6. Within 72 to 96 hours of the events occurrence, disaster conditions should be sufficiently
stabilized to allow response efforts to be directed toward site containment and control,
-------
Appendix H FRP-ESF #10 Hazardous Materials Supplement
Page 7
prevention of further damage, and initiation of cleanup and disposal. Depending on the nature
of the hazardous materials released, such actions could continue for weeks or months. The
duration of this phase of response operations will depend largely on external factors, such as
infrastructure damage, support demands from other ESFs, and availability of qualified
manpower, supplies and equipment.
IV. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS
A. SCOPE
1. General
a) The goal of Federal Region 7's Supplement to ESF #10 is to promote an efficient,
coordinated, and effective response to actual or potential discharges of oil or releases of
hazardous materials into the environment. This supplement identifies support for hazardous
materials mitigation, cleanup, and disposal to supplement state and local governmental
emergency response upon the occurrence of a major event, whether of natural, human, or
technological origin.
b) Federal response actions conducted under this ESF will be closely coordinated with state
and local governmental officials, and will be submitted by local jurisdictions through the
designated state counterpart to the ESF #10 Chair for action. Assistance will be provided
by the ESF to the state, or at the state's request, directly to an affected local jurisdiction.
Response priorities will be based on available damage information and established through
mutual agreement between Federal, state, and local agency officials.
c) ESF #10 will coordinate with ESF #5, Information and Planning, to obtain and provide
information on the nature and magnitude of hazardous materials releases into or threatening
the environment. Close coordination and exchange of information also will be maintained
with other ESFs throughout the response period.
d) Support agency representatives to ESF #10 will maintain close coordination with their
agencies at the national and regional levels, and will arrange for the provision of resources
and support for response operations. ESF #10 support agency representatives will provide
advice during the decision-making process to ensure that actions taken and response support
are effective. Support agencies may be requested to provide members to serve on ESF #10
response teams at the Regional Operations Center (ROC), Disaster Field Office (DFO), or
at other organizational levels as requested by the ESF #10 Chair.
e) All activities carried out under this ESF, including meetings, major decisions, and
response actions, will be fully documented. Permanent records will be kept in order to
support overall management or response operations, meet requests for response
information, and to prepare after-action reports.

f) As the designated primary agency for the ESF #10 under the FRP, EPA will serve as the
Chair of the ESF #10 and provide overall leadership for response planning and
implementation.
2. NCP/Oil and Hazardous Substances
a) Federal Region 7's Supplement to ESF #10 will adhere to and implement the Federal
response role prescribed in the NCP for hazardous materials incidents. Operational response
subsequent to execution of the NCP, and any agency implementing procedures that
contribute to the response, will be carried out in accordance with the procedural guidance
provided by this Supplement under the auspices of ESF #10, and within the overall
framework of the FRP. It is the ESFs responsibility to ensure that proper response actions
are taken in a timely manner to minimize damages and protect human health, welfare, and
the environment.
b) FOSC's may be provided by the EPA, the U.S. Coast Guard, the Department of Defense
(DOD), and/or the Department of Energy (DOE). It is the responsibility of ESF #10 to
assure that all actions taken by FOSCs are coordinated within the overall context of disaster
response operations so that the best utilization of response resources is attained, and to
assure that overlaps and gaps in response actions are avoided.
3.FRERP/Radiological Materials
a) The Federal Region 7 Supplement to ESF #10 will adhere to and implement the Federal
response, as prescribed in the FRERP for radiological materials incidents. Operational
response subsequent to execution of the FRERP, and procedures implemented by any
agency supporting the response, will be carried out in accordance with the procedural
guidance provided by this supplement under the auspices of ESF #10, and within the overall
framework of the FRP. It is each ESFs responsibility to ensure that proper response actions
are taken in a timely and effective manner to minimize damages and protect human health
and welfare, and the environment.
b) A Lead Federal Agency (LFA) will be designated to carry out response actions for a
disaster involving the release of radiological materials.
Under the FRERP, DOE will serve as LFA for incidents involving releases from DOE-
owned facilities or devices. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will serve as the
LFA for radiological materials emergencies involving NRC-licensed facilities or activities
under the FRERP. The LFA will designate a Lead Federal Agency Official (LFAO) to
coordinate on-scene response operations. The DOE will support the LFA in monitoring and
assessing the radiological situation by establishing a Federal Radiological Monitoring and
Assessment Center (FRMAC) near the incident site.
-------
Appendix H FRP-ESF #10 Hazardous Materials Supplement
Page 9
c) The LFA will designate an agency representative to ESF #10 at the Disaster Field Office
(DFO) to coordinate FRERP response actions with the ESF #10 Chair. This representative
also will provide status updates and reports on radiological response operations to the
Federal Coordinating Officer (FCO) on behalf of the LFAO. In addition, the ESF #10 Chair
may request that the LFA provide agency representation at other response organization
levels to facilitate overall efficiency and effectiveness in response coordination.
B. ORGANIZATION
1. Regional Level Response Support Structure
General
The general description of the Region 7 response support structure is covered in Section V
of this Supplement.
NCP
a) The ESF #10 Chair will be supported by FOSCs provided by EPA Region 7, and others
as required, for discharges and releases into or threatening land sites; the U.S.C.G. for
discharges or releases into navigable waterways; and by DOD for hazardous substance
releases from DOE-regulated and other Federal facilities.
b) The OSC directs oil and hazardous substance response efforts and coordinates all other
Federal efforts at the scene of a discharge or release. Specific response efforts are noted in
the NCP (40 CFR Part 300) and include actions taken as soon as possible to prevent,
minimize, or mitigate a threat to human health and welfare or the environment.
c) The OSC is supported by a Federal emergency response network that includes the
National Response Team (NRT), RRT, special forces and teams (e.g. National Strike
Force, Environmental Response Team, Scientific Support Coordinators, and contract
Technical Assistance Teams) which can provide technical assistance, advice and other
services, and provide additional contract support for cleanup and disposal of released
materials.
d) The OSC should consult regularly with the ESF #10 staff in carrying out response
activities and will keep the ESF #10 chair informed of response actions.
e) The OSC's activity shall be coordinated through the ESF #10 Chair with other
appropriate Federal, state, local, or private response agencies.
f) DFO locations for states in Region 7 will be determined by FEMA in coordination with
each states Emergency Management Agency.
-------
Appendix H FRP-ESF #10 Hazardous Materials Supplement
Page 10
FRERP
g) The LFA Representative to the ESF #10 will support an on-scene Lead Federal Agency
Official (LFAO) who is designated to manage response operations at the site of a
radiological emergency.
h) The DOE lead official at the Federal Radiological Monitoring and Assessment Center
(FRMAC) will regularly inform the DOE representative to ESF #10 of the radiological
monitoring results, and will continue to report to the ESF #10 throughout the emergency
period.
C. NOTIFICATION
Official notification of a Presidential declaration of an emergency invoking the FRP will come to
EPA from FEMA. In the event of a major disaster, Response Teams, from the EPA Region 7
Emergency Response and Removal (ER&R) Branch may have responded to spills reported
through the Spill Line prior to the Presidential declaration. Any response action undertaken
prior to the Presidential declaration will be under the existing authority of the NCP. After the
Presidential declaration and activation of ESF # 10, responses will be covered and financed by
specific mission assignments received by ESF # 10, from FEMA, which will coordinate with the
affect state.
From reports to the Spill Line, news media reports and consultations with FEMA, the ESF #10
Chair will be able to remain current as to the probability of activation of ESF #10. The ESF #
10 Chair can alert the potentially affected personnel to the possibility of their being activated.
During such a period the ESF #10 Chair should review the status of OSCs and the various sites
with field activities to determine which OSCs can be made available and time schedules for
providing them. A status board in the ER&R Branch office, maintained daily by office
personnel, would chart OSC availability. This board should have personnel names, site names,
site phone numbers, project status, specifics on material being handled, and vehicles committed
to the sites.
Under the FRP, EPA is responsible for notification of agency personnel, contractors, and
support agencies. Agency personnel will be notified by phone. Messengers and emergency
radios will be used if phones are not functional.
The following ESF #10 staff should be considered for priority notification:
1. Regional EPA Spill Line Duty Officer
2. Advanced Emergency Response Team
3. Regional Operations Center Staff
4. ESF #10 Chairman and Liaison
-------
Appendix H FRP-ESF #10 Hazardous Materials Supplement
Page 11
5. Initial Response teams
The EPA calling list is provided for notification of critical personnel needed during the initial
hours of a disaster response.
* EPA Region 7 Spill Line (913) 236-3778
* EPA Region 7 Operations Center (913) 551-5000
* EPA Region 7 Spill Line Personnel:
* Region 7 START Response Pagers:
Primary (816) 247-8482
Secondary (816) 274-6156
Note: See Directory in Appendix D for additional lists of personnel and contacts.
While some response teams may have been activated under the NCP, full mobilization will not
occur until the Presidential declaration. Upon activation of the FRP, teams will be assembled
and mobilized to the disaster area. If warranted, backup teams shall be assembled and placed on
alert.
D. RESPONSE ACTION
1. Initial Action
General
a) The FRP will be utilized to address requirements specific to a disaster or emergency
situation. Selected ESFs will be activated to support state and local response efforts based
on the nature and scope of the event. The initial gathering point for the ESFs will be the
Regional Operations Center (ROC) located at the FEMA offices 2323 Grand Boulevard,
Kansas City, Missouri. Initial efforts of the ESF #10 staff at the ROC will be aimed at
establishing contact with state ESF #10 counterparts, gathering and disseminating
preliminary damage information, obtaining mission assignments, preparing for potential
Disaster Field Office (DFO) operations, and coordinating early response actions.
As the DFO and Forward Staging Areas (FSAs) become operational, the role of the ROC
will decrease with support activities continuing as needed.
b) Upon notification, the ESF #10 Chair will begin mobilization and deployment of staff to
the DFO(s) that have been activated by the advance elements of the Emergency Response
Team (ERT). Principal elements of this mobilization will be teams responsible for initial
damage assessment of the impacted zone. DFO site selection will be established at the time
of the event by FEMA from multiple pre-identified potential DFO sites.
-------
Appendix H FRP-ESF #10 Hazardous Materials Supplement
Page 12
c) Deployment will be accomplished in the following manner: Emergency Response Teams-
Advance would respond to set up interim DFO operations and start initial damage
assessment. Additional ERTs will respond to support DFO and Forward Command Post
(FCP) operations as necessary. Deployment will be accomplished through standard
transportation routes (air, highway, etc.), if available, or coordinated through ESF #1
(Transportation).
d) Once at the DFO, the ESF #10 Chair or a designated representative will coordinate with
the state and local authorities to ascertain the current conditions. At this time the ESF #10
will become operational and begin implementing response efforts.
NCP/Oil and Hazardous Substances Response
e) Upon determination of actual or potential discharges of oil and releases of hazardous
substances, the ESF #10 Chair will work closely with the OSCs and the ESF #10 support
staff to develop and implement a response strategy. Response teams may conduct aerial
assessments of the affected areas to provide early damage reports to the DFO. This
information will be used to refine response strategies and identify needs for additional
resources and support.
f) All damage assessment actions will be coordinated closely with ESF #5 (Information and
Planning) so as to consolidate and disseminate a maximum amount of reliable damage
information.
g) When the initial damage assessment has been completed, the ESF #10 Chair will develop
a comprehensive response plan and detail needs for operational support and response
resources. Implementation of the plan and marshaling of resources and support will be
accomplished in close coordination with the Federal Coordinating Officer (FCO), state and
local authorities, the ESF #10 support staff, and the National ESF #10. If a catastrophe
requires additional resources, the ESF #10 Region 7 Chair will alert the backup: Region 8
ESF #10. Further backup requests would be presented to the ESF #10 National Chair.
FRERP/ Radiological Materials Response
h) Each of the potential LFAs will assess the damages caused by the event on the facilities
or activities in the affected area(s) over which they have responsibility. If it is determined
that a radiological release is underway or imminent, this information will be provided to all
the FRERP agencies in accordance with the FRERP procedures, the ESF #10 Chair, the
FEMA Regional Office, and the FCO.
2. Continuing Actions
-------
Appendix H FRP-ESF #10 Hazardous Materials Supplement
Page 13
Upon becoming fully operational and throughout the response period, the ESF #10 Chair will
direct and coordinate response operations as summarized below:
a) Continuing on-scene response operations will be coordinated through ESF #10 and
conducted in accordance with the NCP and FRERP. Actions possibly taken may include the
following; stabilization of berms, dikes, or impoundments: capping of contaminated soils or
sludge; drainage controls; fences, warning signs, or other security on-site control
precautions; removal of highly contaminated soils from drainage or other areas; removal of
drums, barrels, tanks, or other bulk containers that contain hazardous materials; cleanup of
household hazardous waste; and containment and cleanup of radiological materials.
b) Coordination between field response elements and DFO operations will be channeled
through the ESF #10 Chair. ESF #10 support agency representatives and ESF #10 staff
members will coordinate with their agencies to meet ESF #10 needs for resources and
support.
c) Further definition of" Continuing Actions" may be counterproductive to the
OSC(s)/LFA(s) performance of the prescribed operating procedures as directed by the NCP
(40 CFR 300.135)/FRERP.

V. AGENCY RESPONSIBILITIES
A. PRIMARY AGENCY: ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
EPA is the Federal agency assigned primary responsibility to manage and coordinate response
operations carried out under ESF #10. This includes the institutional conduct of response
actions utilizing agency personnel and resources, and arranging for and coordinating the efforts
of other agencies responding in support of ESF #10.
EPA Region 7 will investigate and respond to emergency incidents utilizing OSCs and other
response personnel. Response actions at Federal facilities are judged beyond the jurisdiction of
EPA. Agencies are responsible for providing OSCs and response actions to control, contain,
and mitigate release incidents occurring at their facilities. EPA is responsible for the
investigation and ultimate remediation of hazardous waste sites regardless of prenegotiated
boundaries with the USCG. Actions associated with waste sites will be pursued in close
coordination with the appropriate state officials.
In general, the first on-scene Federal official has responsibility under the NCP to perform the
on-scene functions until replaced by the predesignated OSC.
The EPA Region 7 ESF #10 Chair will utilize the ESF #10 support agency representative to
access various Federal resources that are deemed necessary to complete emergency response
and removal operations during a particular incident or site cleanup.
Upon implementation of the FRP, Region 7 EPA would have the following roles and
responsibilities associated with oil and hazardous substances under the NCP:
a) Coordinate, integrate, and manage a natural, human, or technological major disaster in
Region 7 by putting forth the effort to detect, identify, contain, clean up, dispose of, or
minimize the threat or potential discharge of oil and release of hazardous substances;
b) Provide expertise on the environmental effects of discharged oil, or releases of hazardous
substances, pollutants, or contaminants and environmental pollution control techniques;
c) Coordinate the interrelationship of EPA/USCG OSCs response actions to incidents within
the impacted area.
In the event of a disaster involving radiological materials governed by the FRERP EPA responds
as follows:
d) Maintain close coordination with the LFA if a radiological event occurs;
-------
Appendix H FRP-ESF #10 Hazardous Materials Supplement

VI. RESOURCE REQUIREMENTS
A. GENERAL
Saving lives will be the most critical requirement during the first twelve (12) to twenty-four (24)
hours; therefore the initial priority during a response by ESF #10 will be the identification,
stabilization, assessment, and monitoring of immediate life-threatening releases. Other resources
needed for response/recovery, but considered non-critical (i.e., office facilities, communications
systems, computers, etc.) are to be enroute to the DFO as soon as possible after notification to
deploy.
B. FRERP
If there is a significant release of radiological materials, additional stress will be placed on the
support system(s), but it is not expected that special or unique requirements will be identified
for radiological response. Regional EPA requirements are minimal under the FRERP until after
the emergency phase.
C. ASSETS CRITICAL FOR THE INITIAL 12 HOURS
1. Personnel
It is not possible to determine personnel requirements for the initial 12 hours until a major
event has been fully assessed. A summary of response resources is in section VI.E. Advance
Response Teams will be notified directly by phone or by pager. The remainder of the ESF
#10 personnel will then be notified by phone. In general, all response personnel should be
trained as per TITLE 29 CFR 1919.120, as amended.
2. Communication Systems
Communication will be an important element of a successful ESF #10 effort during a response
to a major disaster. Communication, including regional and long distance telephone systems,
could be affected by a wide-spread disaster. Many of the ESF #10 functions are dependent on
-------
Appendix H FRP-ESF #10 Hazardous Materials Supplement
Page 25
continuous and reliable communication from field teams. Without this, the effectiveness of
ESF #10 teams will be limited.
ESF #10 must maintain telephone and radio communication assets to function in a response
mode. Three communication pathways must be established:
a. DFO « Regional/National Office
The DFO « Regional/National Office pathway may function by phone after ESF #2
(Communications) has established phone service at the permanent DFO. A backup system
to include a long range radio system should be employed to supplement long distance
telephone systems.
b. DFO * FCP * Field Teams
The DFO * FCP <=• Field Team pathway will be completed by two systems. DFO ** FCP
communication will be made by phone systems established by ESF #2 or FEMA established
short wave radio systems. FCP ** Field Team communication will be completed by radio
systems in development. Mobile phones will be utilized.
c. Field Team * Field Teams
Field Team ** Field Team Communication will be completed with mobile, hand held and
base station radio systems operating on 164.450 Hz for mobile units and 165.4129 Hz for
the 150 Repeater System. Mobile phones may be used.
Personnel or teams wishing to communicate with other units will identify themselves and the
person/team they are calling. All communication will be made in "plain English" with no
codes or abbreviations to assure clarity.
4. Communication and use of communication systems will be coordinated by the
communications coordinator (Logistics Section) at the DFO.
3. Equipment Requirements
a) Equipment needs for the first 12 to 24 hours will be supplied from existing stock or
purchased locally.
b) The equipment necessary for the initial response will be staged at the EPA at 25 Funston
Road, Kansas City, Kansas; and at START offices in Overland Park, Kansas.
-------
Appendix H FRP-ESF #10 Hazardous Materials Supplement
Page 26
c) The backup equipment necessary for the initial response will be accessed using normal
procedures. Equipment and/or supplies of the START and Emergency Response Clean-up
Service (ERCS) contractor should be utilized to augment the stores maintained by EPA.
d) Additional equipment/supplies needed for initial response and not normally in stock will be
identified to GSA (ESF #7) and other sources on a continuing basis.
4. Office Facilities
Necessary office space and equipment are to be provided at the DFO and FCP by ESF # 7,
state offices of emergency services, and GSA. ESF #10 requirements will be provided to
those agencies at pre-event planning sessions or at notification/deployment announcements.
D. ASSETS REQUIRED FOR CONTINUING OPERATIONS
1. Personnel Requirements
Personnel requirements of ESF #10 will be determined after the initial assessments or release
incidents are completed and/or additional release incidents are reported. Personnel, trained in
oil and hazardous substances response, will be needed to address multiple release incidents.
Increases in support personnel will be obtained, as necessary, from Region 7 backup, Region
8, or as determined by ESF #10 (National Chair). Forward Command Post and Field
Personnel will be distributed as needed by the ESF #10 Chair.
2. Specialized Equipment
No specialized equipment will be maintained by the ESF #10 or its response contractors.
Special equipment needs are to be fulfilled, as needed, through local rental agencies and the
ERCS contractors. Any specialized federal equipment not accessible through the support
ESFs will be supplied by GSA.
3. Laboratories
In addition to the EPA and the respective state lab, listings of certified labs will be maintained
in the Region 7 field library, one of which will be maintained at the RRC and one dispatched
to the DFO. This information may also be made available within CAMEO DOS data files.
4. Transportation
a) Field personnel and response equipment will be transported quickly to the scene of a
release incident. It is expected that problems may be encountered due to disruptions in
normal transportation routes. Initial response personnel may rely heavily upon air
transportation, chiefly helicopters and small airplanes, during the first 12 to 24 hours for
-------
Appendix H
FRP-ESF #10 Hazardous Materials Supplement
Page 27
deployment to the incident site and later on rental vehicles for ground transportation. Air
transportation and rental vehicles will be utilized as needed to deliver backup teams and
supplies during the transition to a continuing operational capacity.
b) Difficult requirements for ground transportation will be coordinated at the DFO level
with ESF #1 (DOT) and ESF #7 (GSA).
-E. RESPONSE RESOURCES
Responders to a major disaster would need; transportation, equipment, funds, food, water,
accommodations, communications, maps, computers, and a reference list. To the maximum
extent possible, the response teams should attempt to secure resources not readily available
through the EPA, contractors, or through the appropriate ESFs
1. Transportation
Kansas City is centrally located in Region 7 and any part of the region is accessible by motor
vehicle in 6 - 8 hours driving time under normal conditions. Driving conditions may not and
most likely will not be ideal under disaster conditions. Considering the amount of equipment
the responding parties must take and the fact that at the minimum a two-person team will be
used, ground travel remains the most cost efficient and effective. Ground transportation must
be versatile and reliable. To that end, the first responding teams should have four-wheel drive
vehicles equipped with traction tires, winch, trailer hitch, and extra fuel storage capacity. The
"idea"l vehicle might be a 3/4 ton pickup truck, four-wheel drive, extended cab, winch, bed
cover, and traction tires. This vehicle would provide ample room for equipment.
Communication equipment and personal equipment could be stored behind the seat. Also
suitable would be the heavy duty vans built on a 3/4 ton chassis (Suburban). This vehicle
should be equipped with dual fuel tanks or a large-capacity fuel tank. A minimum of 10
gallons of extra fuel should be carried.
2. Equipment
The responding team, composed of two people, should carry regular response equipment i.e.
protective clothing, hard hat, boots, and monitoring and sampling equipment and containers.
In addition they should prepare sufficient personal equipment to enable them to function
without support for 3 - 5 days. This would include clothes, rain and cold weather gear,
personal hygiene equipment (i.e. soup, towels, toothbrush, etc.), bedroll or sleeping bag,
eating and cooking utensils, food and water, matches and fire starter, an axe, shovel, bow
saw, tent or tarp to provide shelter during inclement weather, matches and fire starters, first
aid kit, and a small electric generator providing 120v power. In the event of a major disaster,
the response team should prepare for primitive conditions with a disrupted infrastructure.
3. Money/Credit Cards
-------
Appendix H FRP-ESF #10 Hazardous Materials Supplement
Page 28
The responding teams likely will need to buy some items or to rent a vehicle. While they will
have credit cards, there are likely be businesses in the disaster-affected area that will not
accept credit cards. A minimum of $200 should be carried by each member of the response
team.
4. Food
Should food and water be unavailable through normal sources or through ESF #6 and ESF #
11, nonperishable foods such as dried fruits, peanut butter, jerky, trail food, dry cereal, canned
goods, candy bars, etc., should be taken. Food stuffs may be kept in a ice chest, if ice is
available. Food should be bought outside the disaster area and brought in with the team.
Every effort should be made back at the "home base" to get supplies to the teams during the
response. Responders should be aware of sick or potentially rabid animals.
5. Water
The team should carry water. Personal canteens for drinking water while on the site are
necessary. Bottled water for drinking, cooking, etc, is necessary. Some survivors may need
water to drink. Ten gallons per team member for cooking and drinking should be considered
the minimum for five days of self-supportive use. Drinking or using the local water should be
avoided until testing shows it is free of contamination.
6. Accommodations
In a disaster situation motels and hotels may be unavailable or unusable. In the event that
lodging is un available through ESF #6 & #7, the teams should to be prepared to camp out for
several days under primitive conditions. A tent or shelter is desirable for night protection. In
case of rain or snow, a large tarpaulin can rigged to provide shelter and/or a windbreak. A
portable generator to provide power for lights, communication equipment, and electric heat is
desirable. Several heavy duty outdoor extension cords and clip-on lights with metal reflectors
that are normally used with heat lamps will provide ample light. Telescoping aluminum tent
poles can be used to support the tarp for an office/work area, if a room or building is not
available. For a command post, a motel room or empty house or other building can be utilized
after ascertaining that it structurally sound, even if it does not have power.
7. Communications
It is essential that the response team remain in contact with the DFO and other response
teams. To that end, they should have cellular phones, high frequency radios, and walkie-
talkies. They should have a computer, monitor, printer, and modem. The cellular phones and
high frequency radios will provide communications with the DFO, FCP, civil authorities and
other teams until more permanent communication facilities can be established. The walkie-
talkies will be for short-range field communications. The computer will be used for writing
-------
Appendix H FRP-ESF #10 Hazardous Materials Supplement
Page 29
reports, summaries of the days actions, tracking costs and generating a paper trail. The
modem will be used to send this information back to FCP or DFO. As the high frequency
radios have a current draw of 20 amps, it is unadvisable to use them on the vehicle battery for
long periods without running the vehicle. The portable generator is more efficient for this.
Additional communications, support may be available from the support agencies to ESF #10
or from ESF #2.
The following equipment is available for ESF #10 response.
2 - Base Stations, FM, 2AV
3 - HF portable stations
10 - Hand-held radios with chargers, FM 2AV frequency
(164.450) limited range
13 - Mobile phones
ESF #10 needs several communication resources to complete the communication
requirements. They are:
a. A long-range, short-wave radio system linking the Regional Headquarters, DFO and
Forward Command Post. This system needs to be reserved for the exclusive use of ESF
#10.
b. Improved FM communication equipment to include base station units, additional hand
held units, mobile units for each vehicle, and a repeater system for coverage of the entire
area.
c. Portable phone and fax equipment must to be kept current.
8. Maps
It is imperative that the teams know their destination and their route. It is also likely in a
major disaster that the infrastructure will be damaged, including major highways. Therefore
ESF #1 should be consulted concerning probable routes. Teams must tell someone that they
have arrived and what was found. Each team should have a state road map, individual county
maps of the area assigned, the 1 x 2 degree U.S. Geological survey maps of the area, and the
7.5-minute maps of the most critical areas.
9. Computers, Cameo operations
The Cameo-DOS files would be an integral part of major disaster response. The Cameo
computer program would be located at the DFOs and the Communications Center. The
Cameo operator should be in voice contact with the FCP and/or the Response Teams.
-A
-------
Appendix H FRP-ESF #10 Hazardous Materials Supplement
Page 30
Upon a report of any disaster related event, be it a spill, bridge closure, truck overturned, or
any other item pertinent to the response, the location can quickly and easily be plotted on the
appropriate map at the proper coordinates and stored. This map can then be recalled, printed,
updated, faxed or sent through a modem to where it is needed.
With a high-frequency radio installed at the EPA Region 7 Response Center, and with a
mobile unit either in responding vehicles or at the DFO, many emergency response activities
could be facilitated from the Response Center.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
BETWEEN
THEU. S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
REGION 7. KANSAS CITY, KS
AND
THEU. S. COASTGUARD
SECOND COAST GUARD DISTRICT, ST. LOUIS, MO
CONCERNING
FEDERAL ON SCENE COORDINATOR RESPONSIBILITIES IN THE INLAND ZONE
WITHIN THE SECOND COAST GUARD DISTRICT
PURPOSE: The purpose of this document is to delineate the role and responsibilities of U. S.
Coast Guard personnel relative to pollution response activities on the Inland River System.
Specifically, this document:
1. Eliminates previously designated "specified ports and harbors" on the Inland Rivers within
the Second Coast Guard District, thereby redesignating the entirety of the Second Coast
Guard district ans Inland Zone wherein the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency is the
predesignate Federal On Scene Coordinator agency.
2. Confirms the Second Coast Guard District's commitment to meeting the spirt as well as
the letter of the National Contingency Plan and assisting the U. S. Environmental Protection
Agency predesignated Federal On Scene Coordinators to the fullest extent possible in all
pollution response activities.
3. Identifies operational criteria under which the U. S. Coast Guard will assist the U. S.
Environmental Protection Agency with its On Scene Coordinator (OSC) responsibilities by
acting as the lead agency and providing personnel to fill the OSC role for actual or threatened
pollution incidents involving commercial vessels of marine transportation-related facilities.
BACKGROUND: Under a previous agreement, the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency,
Region VII, and the Second Coast Guard District had identified certain geographic areas on the
Inland River Systems for which the U. S. Coast guard would, under certain circumstances,
provide a "predesignated" Federal On Scene Coordinator. In general, in the specified port and
harbor areas the U. S. Coast Guard Captain of the Port was predesignated as the OSC for oil and
hazardous substance discharges resulting from vessel casualties or vessel-related transfer
operations. The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency retained the OSC responsibilities for all
other pollution incidents within the specified ports and harbor and for all incidents outside those
limited geographic areas.
The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 amended the Federal Water Pollution Control Act and imposed
new pollution response preparedness and removal requirements on industry and government,
including the predesignated Federal On Scene Coordinator. The requirements of the Oil Pollution
Act prompted a complete review of agency responsibilities pursuant to the Act itself and the
7rU
1 '
-------
COPY: MOU between Second Coast Guard District and USEPA Region VII
National Contingency Plan. That review indicated that the division of agency On Scene
Coordinator responsibilities along a combination of geographic and functional lines did not
provide the best mechanism for planning and coordination of current National Response System
activities.
This document redefines agency responsibilities along wholly functional lines that are consistent
with traditional agency authorities. It also provides for effective integration for preparedness and
removal activities in a manner consistent with the requirements of the National Contingency Plan.
AGREEMENT:
The entirety of the Second Coast Guard District, including the Inland River System within the
Second District, in included in the definition of Inland Zone wherein the U. S. Environmental
Protection Agency (USEPA) is the predesignated Federal On Scene Coordinator agency. The
previous agreement designating specified ports and harbors as portions of the Coastal Zone is
canceled.
The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), through the cognizant Captain of the Port (COTP), will assist the
predesignated USEPA On Scene Coordinator (OSC) to the fullest extent possible consistent with
agency responsibilities ans authorities. Specifically, for all pollution incidents where there is an
actual discharge or release, or a substantial threat of such a discharge or release of a pollutant into
or on the navigable waters other United States of the adjacent riverbank, the U. S. Coast Guard
will respond as follows:
1. If the incident involves a commercial vessel, a vessel transfer operation, or a marine
transportation related facility, the USCG COTP will provide the OSC and carry out all of the
OSC responsibilities, including the decision to direct any necessary removal activity or access
the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund. In such cases, the predesignated USEPA OSC will be
advised for any response actions that the COTP takes via initial telephone notification and
periodic pollution reports.
2. If the incident involves a source or threat other than a commercial vessel, vessel transfer
operations, or marine transportation-relate facility, of in the incident involves an unknown
source of pollution:
a. The USCG COTP will carry out the USCG's agency responsibilities under the NCP,
the Regional Contingency Plan, and, when developed, the Area Contingency Plans, and
will assist the USEPA OSC to the fullest extent possible.
b. Upon request by the predesignated USEPA OSC, the USCG COTP will acto on behalf
of the USEPA in any actions where the USCG personnel are both qualified and physically
capable of responding. The type and extent of the USCG"s actions in each case will be
determined by consultation between the USEPA OSC and the USCG COTP.
-------

c. If specifically requested by the predesignated USEPA OSC, the USCG COTP may
assume the functional OSC role and carry out all of the OSC responsibilities for a
particular incident. The final decision on acceptance of the functional OSC role will rest
with the COTP on an incident-specific basis.
d. If the USCG is the first agency notified of such an incident, the USCG will notify the
predesignated USEPA OSC and assist in assessing the situation and the need for a Federal
response.
e. If a USCG representative is the first Federal official arriving on scene at such an
incident, the USCG will notify the predesignated USEPA OSC and carry out the duties
detailed in the NCP pending arrival of the predesignated OSC.
3. This agreement will be incorporated in the agency responsibilities section of the Regional
Contingency Plan.
TERM OF AGREEMENT: This agreement will be subject to review and amendment coincident
with each periodic review of the Regional Contingency Plan. It will remain in effect until
modified or terminated by subsequent agreement.

ANNEX II
DISPOSAL REQUIREMENTS
(TO BE DONE)

ANNEX III
UNIFIED COMMAND SYSTEM
-------
A UNIFIED COMMAND SYSTEM (UCS) SHALL BE ESTABLISHED AT ALL INCIDENTS
INVOLVING HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES BY SENIOR ON-SCENE OFFICIAL OF THE
FIRST RESPONSE ORGANIZATION TO ARRIVE AN INCIDENT.
The UCS should be based on the organization, terminology and procedures recommended
by the National Fire Academy and applied in abroad sense to include all hazard control and
mitigation response organizations including responsible parties, private responders and local, state
and federal agencies. All such entities participating in a response are required by federal law to
implement an intra-organization ICS and integrate it with the overall UCS.
The UCS established will have as the Incident Commander (IC) the most senior on-scene
official with the expertise, capability, authority, and determination to be the commander. The IC
can be from a local unit of government or from a county, state, or federal agency. This protocol
recognizes that typically, but not necessarily, the IC will change as the incident progresses from
being primarily a public safety problem, with the local fire chief as IC, to an environmental
incident with a state or federal person as the IC. The following procedures specify a determinate
yet feasible means of establishing the role of federal and state responders in a UCS.
I. SINGLE JURISDICTIONAL ARE AFFECTED
When the incident involves and affects only a single local geographical jurisdiction, the
organizational structure of the UCS or Incident Command System will be determined by the
established local contingency plan. This may involve single or multiple agency involvement. In all
situations one person shall act as an Incident Commander in sole charge, or function as an
Operations Chief to implement the action plan of a Unified Command.
In such instances, responding state and federal officials, who might otherwise be
considered the senior competent emergency response official at the site, shall either:
1. Identify themselves to the Incident Commander and integrate themselves into the
established ICS per the Incident Commander's direction, usually as a technical specialist to an
operations group supervisor or as an operations group supervisor: or
2. Join an existing Unified Command or request the Incident Commander to establish
a Unified Command, or
3. Assume the Incident Command role when required by federal or state law, or when
an existing Incident Commander agrees to such a transition, or when no ICS or UCS has been
established.
The ICS transfer of command or initial assumption of command protocols shall be used.
-------
II. MULTIPLE JURISDICTIONAL AREAS AFFECTED
When the incident involves and affects multiple local geographical jurisdictions or areas
not covered by local emergency response organizations, the state or federal competent senior
official at the site shall either:
1. Preferably join an existing Incident command or Unified Command as in I above;
or
2. Establish a Unified Command for an encompassing ICS if none exists; or
3. Assume Incident Command and establish a UCS incorporating existing local
efforts as operations section branches or otherwise as appropriate.
III. LOCAL, STATE,FEDERAL INTERACTION
When not specifically prescribed, a Unified Command Consisting of local, state, and
federal senior competent emergency response officials at the site shall be the preferred approach
to integrating several levels of government into a United Command System. Where state law
specifies incident command assignments, it shall take precedence over this protocol with respect
to those state and local organizations to which it applies. Federal jurisdiction specified in
CERCLA, OPA or the RCP shall take precedence over this protocol.
Breadth of responsibility will be considered to increase from most local to state to federal.
However, this protocol encourages the establishment of the UCS at the most local level
practicable to assure the earliest implementation of a unified response strategy.
