NATIONAL OIL AND HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN
TOO INTRODUCTION
101 Background
101.1 This Plan was developed pursuant to the provisions of the Federal
Water Pollution Control Act, as amended (84 Stat 93). Section ll(c)(2)
authorizes the President, within 60 days after the section becomes effec-
tive, to prepare and publish such a Plan. The Plan provides for efficient,
coordinated and effective action, to minimize damage from oil (and other)
discharges, including containment, dispersal, and removal. The Plan
includes (a) assignment of duties and responsibilities, (b) identification,
procurement, maintenance and storage of equipment and supplies, (c) estab-
lishment of a strike force and emergency task forces, (d) a system of sur-
veillance and notice, (e) establishment of a national center to coordinate
identifying, containing, dispersing and removing oil, and (f) a schedule
identifying dispersants and other chemicals that may be used 1n carrying
out the Plan, the waters in which they may be used, and quantities which
may be safely used. The Plan will be revised from time to time.
101.2 Operations of the National Contingency Plan requires a nationwide
net of regional contingency plans; this Plan establishes guidelines for
that nationwide net.
102 Purpose and Objectives
102.1 This Plan (including the annexes) provides for a pattern of
coordinated and integrated responses to pollution spills by departments
and agencies of the Federal government. It establishes a national
response team and provides guidelines for the establishment of regional
contingency plans and response teams. This Plan also promotes the
coordination and direction of Federal, State and local response systems
and encourages the development of local government and private capa-
bilities to handle such pollution spills.
102.2 The objectives of this Plan are to develop appropriate preventive
and preparedness measures and effective systems for discovering and
reporting the existence of a pollution spill; to Institute, promptly,
measures to restrict the further spread of the pollutant; to assure that
the public health, welfare, and natural resources are provided adequate
protection; to provide for a scientific response to spills as appropriate;
to provide strike forces of trained personnel and adequate equipment to
-------
respond to polluting spills; and to institute actions to recover cleanup
costs and to effect enforcement of existing Federal statutes and
regulations issued thereunder. Detailed guidance toward the accomplish-
ment of these objectives is contained in the basic Plan, the annexes
and the regional plans.
103 Scope
103.1 This Plan will be effective for all United States navigable
waters including inland rivers, Great Lakes, coastal territorial waters,
and the contiguous zone and high seas beyond this zone where there exists
a threat to United States waters, shoreface, or shelf-bottom.
103.2 The provisions of this National Oil and Hazardous Materials
Pollution Contingency Plan are applicable to all Federal agencies.
Implementation of this Plan is compatible and complementary to currently
effective assistance plans* agreements, security regulations, and
responsibilities based upon Federal statutes and Executive Orders.

105 Definitions (within the meaning of this plan)
105.1 Discharge - includes but is not limited to, any spilling,
leaking, pumping, pouring, emitting, emptying or dumping.
- 2 -
-------
105.2 Pollution Incident - Is a spill, including an imminent threat of
spill, of oil or other hazardous substance of such magnitude or signifi-
cance as to require immediate response to contain, cleanup or dispose of
the material to prevent a substantial threat to public health or welfare,
which includes threats to fish, shellfish, wildlife, shorelines and
beaches.
105.3 Major Disaster - is any flood, drought, fire, hurricane, earth-
quake, storm or other catastrophe in any part of the United States
which, in the determination of the President, 1s or threatens to become
of sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant disaster assistance by
the Federal government to supplement the effort and available resources
of States and local governments in alleviating damage, hardship or
sufferi ng.
105.4 Oil - oil of any kind or in any form, including, but not
limited to, petroleum, fuel oil, sludge, oil refuse and oil mixed
with wastes other than dredged spoil.
105.5 Hazardous Substance - is an element or compound, other than oil
as defined in 105.4, which when discharged in any quantity Into or
upon the navigable waters of the United States or adjoining shorelines
or the waters of the contiguous zone, presents an imminent and
substantial danger to the public health or welfare, including, but
not limited to, fish, shellfish, wildlife, shorelines and beaches.
105.6 Minor Spill - is a discharge of oil of less than 100 gallons
in Internal waters, or less than 1000 gallons 1n offshore waters, or
a spill of small quantities of other substances. Discharges that:
(1) occur in or endanger critical water areas; (2) generate critical
public concern; (3) become the focus of an enforcement action; or
(4) pose a threat to public health or welfare, should be classified as
moderate or major spills depending on their degree of impact.
105.7 Moderate Spill - is a discharge of oil of 100 gallons to
10,000 gallons In the internal waters or 1000 gallons to 100,000
gallons in offshore waters, or a discharge of any material of any
size that poses a threat to the public health or welfare.
105.8 Major Spill - is a discharge of oil of more than 10,000
gallons in internal waters or more than 100,000 gallons in offshore
waters or a discharge of any size of such nature and quantity that
human health or welfare are substantially threatened.
105.9 Potential Spill - is any accident or other circumstance which
threatens to result in the discharge of oil or other hazardous
substance. A potential spill shall be classified as to severity based
on the guidelines above.
- 3 -
-------
105.10 Primary Agencies - those Departments or agencies which are
designated to nave primary responsibility to promote effective operation
of this Plan. These agencies are: DOI, DOT, OEP, DHEW and DOD.
105.11 United States - means the States, the District of Columbia,
the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Canal Zone, Guam, American
Samoa, the Virgin Islands, and the Trust Territory of the Pacific
Islands.
105.12 Remove or Removal - is the removal of oil from the water and
shorelines or the taking of such other actions as may be necessary
to minimize or mitigate damage to the public health or welfare.
200 FEDERAL POLICY AND RESPONSIBILITY
201 Federal Policy
201.1 The Congress has declared that it is the policy of the United States
that there should be no discharges of oil into or upon the navigable
waters of the United States, adjoining shorelines, or into or upon the
waters of the contiguous zone. Further, the discharge in harmful
quantities of oil into or upon the navigable waters of the United States,
adjoining shorelines or into or upon the waters of the contiguous zone
is prohibited except where permitted under Article IV of the International
Convention for the Prevention of Pollution of the Sea by Oil, 1954, as
amended, and where permitted in quantities and at times and locations
or under such circumstances or conditions as the President may, by
regulation, determine.
201.2 A primary thrust of regional plans is to provide a Federal
response capability at the regional level. OSC shall determine if
the person responsible for the discharge of oil or other hazardous
substances is taking adequate action to remove the pollutant or adequately
mitigate its effects. When such person is taking adequate action, the
principal thrust of Federal activities shall be to observe and monitor
progress and to provide advice and counsel as may be necessary. In
the event that the person responsible for a pollution incident does not
act promptly, does not take or propose to take proper and appropriate
actions to contain, clean up and dispose of pollutants or the discharger
is unknown, further Federal response actions shall be instituted.
201.3 The Federal agencies possessing facilities or other resources
which may be useful in a Federal response situation will make such
facilities or resources available for use in accordance with this plan
as supplemented by the regional plans. Agencies making resources
available shall make such assignment consistent with operational
requirements, within the limits of existing statutory authority.
- 4 -
-------
202 Federal Responsibility
202.1 Each of the primary Federal agencies has responsibilities
established by statute, Executive Order or Presidential Directive,
which may bear on the Federal response to a pollution incident. This
plan intends to promote the expeditious and harmonious discharge of
these responsibilities through the recognition of authority for action
by those agencies having the most appropriate capability to act in
each specific situation. Responsibilities and authorities of these
several agencies relevant to the control of pollution incidents are
detailed in the annex. In the development of the regional plans,
provision shall be made to assure recognition of the statutory
responsibilities of all involved agencies.
202.2 The Department of the Interior is responsible for administering,
developing and revising the National Oil and Hazardous Materials
Contingency Plan and for developing and revising the plans in areas
where the Coast Guard is not assigned the responsiblity to furnish or
provide for OSC's (Sec. 306.2). In this activity DOI will give full
consideration to the recommendations of NIC concerning the interpreta-
tion, revision and application of the plan. Through the resources
of the Federal Water Quality Administration, DOI will provide technical
expertise to NRT and the RRT's relative to water pollution control
techniques. The assessment of damage to fish and wildlife resources
will be made by the appropriate DOI agency.
202.3 The Department of Transportation through the U. S. Coast Guard,
supplies expertise in the fields of navigation, port safety and security,
and maritime law enforcement. Additionally, the Coast Guard maintains
continuously manned facilities that are capable of command, control and
surveillance for spills occurring on the navigable waters of the
United States or the high seas. The Coast Guard is responsible for
developing and revising those portions of the regional plans
applicable to areas where the Coast Guard is assigned the responsibility to
furnish or provide for OSC's (Sec. 306.2). DOI will provide guidance
to and coordinate with DOT regarding pollution control and the protection
of natural resources in the preparation of such plans.
202.4 The Office of Emergency Preparedness will maintain an awareness
of pollution incidents as they develop. The normal OEP procedures
will be followed to evaluate any request for a major disaster declara-
tion received from a Governor of a State. If the President declares a
major disaster under PL 81-875 for the pollution incident, the Director,
OEP, will provide coordination and direction of the Federal response 1n
accordance with OEP policies and procedures.
202.5 The Department of Defense, consistent with its operational
requirements, may provide assistance In critical pollution Incidents
and in the maintenance of navigation channels, salvage, and removal
of navigation obstructions.
- 5 -
-------
202.6 The Department of Health. Education, and Welfare is responsible
for providing expert advice and assistance relative to those spills
that constitute a threat to public health.
202.7 Any Federal agency may make resources available. Primary agencies,
however, have the following additional responsibilities: for providing
official representation to NIC, NRT, and RRT; for making information
available as may be necessary; and, for keeping RRT informed, consistent
with national security considerations, of changes in the availability
of resources that would affect the operation of this Plan.
203 Non-Federal Responsibility
203.1 State and local governments, industry groups, the academic
community, and others are encouraged to commit resources for response
to a spill. Their specific commitments are outlined by the regional
plans. Of special relevance here is the organization of a standby
scientific response capability.
300 PLANNING AND RESPONSE ELEMENTS
301 National Interagency Committee
301.1 The National Interagency Committee for Control of Pollution by
Oil and Hazardous Materials (NIC) is the principal instrumentality
for plans and policies of the Federal preparedness and response to
pollution incidents. The Committee is composed of representatives of
the primary agencies. The representative of DOI will serve as
Chairman of NIC and the representative of DOT will serve as Vice-Chairman.
301.2 NIC will develop procedures to promote the coordinated response
of all Federal, State and local governments and private agencies to
pollution spills, and will make recommendations to DOI concerning the
interpretation, revision, and application of the National Plan. To
facilitate the development of such procedures, NIC may request each
agency to supply pertinent data and information on its response
capability and operating procedures.
301.3 NIC will review regional contingency plans and make recommendations
for improving the effectiveness of such plans. NIC will also coordinate
and review reports from NRC and the RRC on the handling of major or
unusual pollution Incidents for the purpose of analyzing such incidents
and recommending needed improvements in the contingency plans. Summary
reports and other documents of an evaluative nature will be coordinated
through NIC.
301.4 In considering the National posture for response to pollution
incidents, the NIC will consider and make appropriate recommendations
- 6 -
-------
relating to the training of response team personnel, research,
development, test and evaluation activities needed to support response
capabilities, equipment and material stockpiling and other matters as
the need arises.
301.5 NIC will establish and maintain liaison with the U. S. National
Committee for the Prevention of Pollution of the Seas by Oil to promote
a consistent United States posture regarding oil pollution control.
302 National Response Center
302.1 The National Response Center (NRC) is the Washington, D. C., head-
quarters site for activities relative to pollution incidents. NRC will
be accommodated in quarters described in the annex, and will provide
communications, information storage, necessary personnel and facilities
to promote the smooth and adequate functioning of this activity.
303 National Response Team
303.1 The National Response Team (NRT) consists of representatives of
the primary agencies and shall act as an emergency response team to
be activated in the event of a pollution incident involving oil or other
hazardous material which: (a) exceeds the response capability of the
region in which it occurs; (b) transects regional boundaries; or,
(c) involves national security or presents a major hazard to substantial
numbers of persons or nationally significant amounts of property. A
representative of DOI shall be the Chairman and a representative of DOT
shall be Executive Secretary of NRT. The Executive Secretary shall main-
tain records of the NRT activities along with national and regional plans
for pollution emergency responses. When NRT is activated because of a
water pollution emergency situation, the Chairman of NRT will assume the
role of principal coordinator of NRT activities.
303.2 A continual surveillance of incoming reports from the RRC's will
be maintained in NRC. Whenever reports which require or appear to
require a national response are received, the members of NRT will be
advised of the receipt of such reports and NRT may be activated on the
request of any member.
303.3 During pollution incident operations, NRC will act as the focal
point for national public information releases and for information
transfer between the OSC and the Washington, D. C., headquarters of the
agencies concerned, thereby promoting rapid and accurate information
transfer and minimizing the radiation of spurious and incomplete infor-
mation about any given situation.' Public information activities are
considered in the annex.
303.4 During a pollution incident, NRT will evaluate reports coming
from the OSC, requesting additional information as may be indicated.
- 7 -
-------
NRT will coordinate the actions of other regions or districts in
supplying needed assistance to the OSC. NRT may recommend courses of
action through RRT for consideration by the OSC but has no operational
control of the OSC. On the basis of reports and information about a
pollution incident, NRT may request other Federal, State, local govern-
ments or private agencies to consider taking action under whatever
authorities they may have to accomplish needed deployment of personnel
to monitor and observe the handling of any pollution incident. Copies
of all reports and documents developed by NRT and RRT as a result of
pollution incidents will be provided to NIC for its evaluation.
304 Regional Response Center
304.1 The Regional Response Center (RRC) is the regional site for
pollution control response activities. It will be accommodated in
quarters described in each regional plan and will provide communica-
tions, information storage and other necessary personnel and facilities
to promote the proper functioning and administration of the contingency
plans.
305 Regional Response Team
305.1 The Regional Response Team (RRT) consists of regional representa-
tives of the primary agencies. RRT shall act as an emergency response
team performing response functions within the region similar to those
described for NRT. RRT will also perform review and advisory functions
relative to the regional plan similar to those prescribed for NIC at
the national level. Additionally, the RRT shall determine that a
pollution incident exists, the duration and extent of the Federal response,
and when a shift of on-scene coordination from the predesignated OSC
to another agency is indicated by the circumstances or progress of a
pollution incident.
305.2 For the purpose of the development of regional contingency plans,
the standard regions developed for purposes of general Federal administra-
tion shall be used, except as may otherwise be agreed upon by the
Departments of Interior and Transportation on a case-by-case basis for
operational reasons. Any region may be divided into subregional or
small areas of the plan, and shall as a minimum be divided into areas
corresponding to the areas in which the Department of the Interior and
Coast Guard are respectively responsible for furnishing or providing
for the QSC's.
305.3 The agency membership on RRT is as established by the National
Contingency Plan; however, individuals representing the primary agencies
may vary depending on the subregional area in which the incident occurs.
Details of such representation are specified in each regional contingency
plan.
- 8 -
-------
306 On-Scene Coordination
306.1 Coordination and direction of Federal pollution control efforts
at the scene of a spill or potential spill shall be accomplished through
an On-Scene Commander (OSC). The OSC is the single executive agent
predesignated by regional plan to coordinate and direct such pollution
control activities in each area of the region.
306.1-1 In the event of a spill of oil or other hazardous
substance, the first Federal official on the
site, from any of the primary agencies, shall assume
coordination of activities under the Plan until the pre-
designated OSC becomes available to take charge of the
operation.
306.1-2 The OSC shall determine pertinent facts about a
particular spill, such as the nature, amount, and location
of material spilled, probable direction and time of travel
of the material, resources and installations which may be
affected and the priorities for protecting them.
306.1-3 The OSC shall initiate and direct as required,
Phase II, Phase III and Phase IV operations as hereinafter
described.
306.1-4 The OSC shall call upon and direct the deploy-
ment of needed resources in accordance with the regional
plan to initiate and continue containment, countermeasures,
cleanup, restoration, and disposal functions.
306.1-5 The OSC shall provide necessary support activities
and documentation for Phase V activities.
306.1-6 In carrying out this plan, the OSC will fully
inform and coordinate closely with RRT to ensure the
maximum effectiveness of the Federal effort in protecting
the natural resources and environment from pollution
damage.
306.1-7 It is recognized that in some cases the OSC,
particularly when he is a Coast Guard Officer, may have
other functions such as search and rescue, or port safety
and security which must be performed along with pollution
control functions.
306.2 The U. S. Coast Guard is assigned the responsibility to furnish
or provide for OSC's for the high seas, coastal and contiguous zone
waters, coastal and Great Lakes ports and harbors (and such other
places as may be agreed upon between the Departments of the Interior
and Transportation). The Department of the Interior will furnish
- 9 -
-------
or provide for OSC's in other areas. A major consideration in the
selection of an OSC for a particular area will be that agency's
capability and resources for on-scene coordination of pollution control
activities. Each OSC and his area of responsibility will be detailed
in the regional plans.
400 FEDERAL RESPONSE OPERATIONS — RESPONSE PHASES
400.1 The actions taken to respond to a spill or pollution incident
can be separated into five relatively distinct classes or phases. For
descriptive purposes, these are: Phase I. Discovery and Notification;
Phase II. Containment and Countermeasures; Phase III. Cleanup and
Disposal; Phase IV. Restoration; and Phase V. Recovery of Damages and
Enforcement. It must be recognized that elements of any one phase may
take place concurrently with one or more other phases.
401 Phase I -- Discovery and Notification
401.1 Discovery of a spill may be through deliberate discovery
procedures, such as vessel patrols, aircraft searches, or similar
procedures, or through random discovery by incidental observations
of government agencies, private agencies, or the general public. In
the event of deliberate discovery, the spill would be reported directly
to the RRC. Reports from random discovery may be initially through
fishing or pleasure boats, police departments, telephone operators,
port authorities, news media, etc. Regional plans should provide for
such reports to be channeled into RRC as promptly as possible to
facilitate prompt reaction.
401.2 The severity of the spill will determine the reporting procedure
and the participating Federal agencies to be notified promptly of the
spill. The severity of the spill is determined by the nature and
quantity of materials spilled, the location of the spill and the
resources adjacent to the spill area which may be affected by it.
Regional plans should specify critical water use areas and detail
alerting procedures and communication links.
402 Phase II -- Containment and Countermeasures
402.1 These are defensive actions to be initiated as soon as possible
after discovery and notification of a spill or pollution incident.
After the OSC determines that further Federal response actions are
needed and depending on the circumstances of each particular case,
various actions may be taken. These may include source control
procedures, public health protection activities, salvage operations,
placement of physical barriers to halt or slow the spread of a
pollutant, emplacement or activation of booms or barriers to protect
specific installations or areas, control of the water discharge from
upstream impoundments and the employment of chemicals and other
- 10 -
-------
materials to restrain the pollutant and its effects on water related
resources. Surveillance activities will be conducted as needed to
support Phase II and Phase III actions.
403 Phase III -- Cleanup and Disposal
403.1 This includes those actions taken to remove the pollutant from
the water and related on-shore areas such as the collection of oil
through the use of sorbers, skimmers, or other collection devices,
the removal of beach sand, and safe, non-polluting disposal of the
pollutants which are recovered in the cleanup process.
404 Phase IV -- Restoration
404.1 This includes those actions taken to restore the environment
to its pre-spill condition, such as replacement of contaminated beach
sand.
405 Phase V — Recovery of Damages and Enforcement
405.1 This includes a variety of activities, depending on the location
of and circumstances surrounding a particular spill. Recovery of damages
done to Federal property and to State or local government property is
included; however, third party damage is not considered in this phase.
Recovery of the costs of cleanup is a part of this phase. Enforcement
activities under appropriate authority such as the Federal Water
Pollution Control Act, as amended, the Refuse Act of 1899, and State
and local statutes and ordinances are also included. The collection of
scientific and technical information of value to the scientific
community as a basis for research and development activities and for
the enhancement of our understanding of the environment may also be
considered in this phase. It must be recognized that the collection
of samples and necessary data must be performed at the proper times
during the case for enforcement and other purposes.
406 Procedures to be Followed for the Purpose of Water Pollution Control
406.1 The agency furnishing the OSC for a particular area is assigned
responsibility to undertake and implement Phase I activities in that
area. Other agencies should incorporate Phase I activities into their
on-going programs whenever practicable. Upon receipt of information,
either from deliberate or random discovery activities, that a spill has
occurred, the OSC and the RRT for the affected area will be notified.
Subsequent action and dissemination of information will be in
accordance with the applicable regional plan.
406.2 The OSC is assigned responsibility for the initiation of Phase II
actions and should take immediate steps to effect containment or other
appropriate countermeasures.
- 11 -
-------
406.3 The OSC is assigned responsibility for conduct of Phase III
activities.
406.4 The OSC is assigned responsibility for the conduct of Phase IV
activities utilizing techniques concurred in by the RRT.
406.5 Phase V activities shall/be carried out by the individual agencies
in accordance with existing statutes, with such assistance as is needed
from other agencies.
406.6 In the conduct of continuing Phase II actions after the
determination by RRT that a pollution incident exists, Phase III
activities, and continuing Phase IV activities after the deactivation
of the RRT, water pollution control techniques, to the extent not
provided for in the applicable regional plan, must receive the con-
currence of the DOI representative on the RRT with respect to the use
of chemicals (see Annex X).
500 COORDINATING INSTRUCTIONS
501 Delegation of Authority
501.1 Delegation of authority or concurrence in proposed or continuing
water pollution control activities may be either verbal or written by
the representative on RRT of the agency having concomitant statutory
authori ty.
502 Multi-Regional Actions
502.1 In the event that a spill or a potential spill moves from the
area covered by one contingency plan into another area, the authority
to initiate pollution control actions shall shift as appropriate. In
the event that a polluting spill or potential spill affects areas
covered by two or more regional plans, the response mechanism called
for by both plans shall be activated; however, pollution control
actions shall be fully coordinated as detailed in the regional plans.
503 U. S. Public Vessels and Federally Operated Facilities
503.1 When a spill is caused by a United States public vessel or by
a Federally controlled facility, the responsible agency shall provide
the OSC and take the initial response actions. Continuing water
pollution control actions taken under Phase II, III, and IV must be
concurred in by the RRT if activated or if the RRT is not activated,
concurrence will be obtained from the representative on RRT of the
agency having concomitant statutory authority.
504 Nuclear Pollution
504.1 In the event of a nuclear pollution incident the procedures of
the Interagency Radiological Assistance Plan shall apply.
- 12 -
-------
505 Notification
505.1 All reports of spills or potential spills should be forwarded to
the predesignated On-Scene Commander immediately. The detailed instruc-
tions for further alerting and notification and reporting procedures
are contained in regional plans.
506 General Pattern of Response Actions
506.1 When the On-Scene Commander receives a report of a spill, or
potential spill, the report should be evaluated. In most situations,
the sequence of actions shown below should be followed.
506.1-1 Investigate the report to determine pertinent information
such as type and quantity of material, source of spill, and
the threat posed to public health or welfare.
506.1-2 Designate the severity of the situation and determine
the future course of action to be followed.
506.1-3 Effect notification in accordance with regional plan.
506.2 The result of the report probably can be categorized by one of
five classes. Appropriate action to be taken in each specific type
case is outlined below:
506.2-1 If the investigation shows that the initial information
overstated the magnitude or danger of the spill and there is no
water pollution involved, it should be considered a false alarm
and the case should be closed.
506.2-2 If the investigation shows a minor spill with the
discharger taking appropriate cleanup action, contact is made
with the discharger, the situation is monitored and information
is gathered for possible enforcement action.
506.2-3 If the investigation shows a minor spill with improper
action being taken the following measures should be taken:
a. Attempt should be made to prevent further discharges
from the source.
b. The discharger should be advised of the proper action
to be taken.
c. If after providing advice to the discharger and this
-advice is not followed, the discharger should be
warned of legal responsibility for cleanup and violations
of law.
d. Information should be collected for possible enforcement
action.
- 13 -
-------
e. The On-Scene Commander should notify appropriate State
and local officials. He should keep the Regional
Response Center advised and initiate Phase II and III
activities as conditions warrant.
506.2-4 When the initial report or investigation indicates
that a moderate spill has occurred or that a potential moderate
spill situation exists, the On-Scene Commander should follow
the same general procedures as for a minor spill. Additionally,
the On-Scene Commander should make a recommendation on declara-
tion of a pollution incident.
506.2-5 When the initial report indicates that a major spill
has occurred or that a potential major spill situation exists,
the On-Scene Commander should follow the same procedures as
for minor and moderate spills. RRC should, however, be notified
immediately of the situation even if the initial report has not
been confirmed.
507 Strike Force
507.1 A nucleus national level strike force, consisting of personnel
trained, prepared and available to provide the necessary services to
carry out this Plan has been established by the Coast Guard. This
force, presently located on the East Coast, is being augmented and will
soon be sited at various locations throughout the country. The national
level strike force will be made available if requested to assist in
response during pollution incidents and may be made available to assist
during other spill situations. The national level strike force may
be requested through the appropriate Coast Guard District Commander,
or the Commandant, U. S. Coast Guard. The strike force will direct
the operation of any government-owned specialized pollution cleanup
equipment and will function under the OSC.
507.2 Regional plans shall provide the designation of local strike
force teams consisting of personnel from operating units within the
region. They shall be trained, prepared, and available to provide
necessary services to help carry out the plan. Regional plans shall
specify the location of the local strike force teams. The services
of the local strike force teams will be obtained through the appropriate
Coast Guard District Commander. These teams are to be capable of
merging with other strike forces within the region, or of being sent
outside their own region. They are to be capable of supplementing
the national level strike force. The local strike force teams should
be capable of full independent response to all minor spill situations
and joint coordinative response to moderate or major spill situations
or pollution incidents.
507.3 There shall be established at major ports (designated from time
to time by the President) emergency task forces of trained personnel,
- 14 -
-------
adequate oil pollution control equipment and material, and a detailed
oil pollution prevention and removal plan. These emergency task forces
will be complementary to the national and local level strike forces.
Although designed primarily for operation 1n the designated port area,
they should be capable of operating at other locations when directed.
Regional plans encompassing any such designated ports shall Include a
detailed port plan.

1500 COMMUNICATIONS AND REPORTS
1501 Purpose
1501.1 The communications concerning an oil or hazardous substance
spill are an integral and significant part of the operations. The
same precepts govern in these instances as do other operations in
which the Coast Guard, FWQA and other operating agencies are involved.
1502 Objectives
1502.1 The objectives of the communications and reports are:
1502.1 - 1 To speed the flow of information pertaining to an
incident;
1502.1 - 2 To relay advice, instructions and reports pertaining
to an incident; and
1502.1 - 3 To provide for alerting, notification, surveillance
and warning of a pollution incident.
1503 Communications Procedures
s
1503.1 Normal communication circuits of each primary agency may be
used to effectuate this plan. The national and district or regional
offices and telephone numbers of primary alerting and notification offices
of interested agencies will be maintained in NRC and as appropriate in RRC.
1503.2 The initial reporting of a pollution incident will be in accordance
with the information and format as described in the regional plans.
1503.3 SITREPS (Situation Reports) will be submitted by RRT to NRT in a
timely manner as developments occur and at 0800 and 2000 local time on
each day of the operation.
1504 Pollution Incident Reports

incident, any OSC involved will submit a complete report of the incident
and the actions taken, pursuant to applicable directives of his own
agency. Copies will be furnished to the NRT or RRT, as appropriate, for
submission to the NIC, together with any other pertinent information
available to the forwarding group. The NIC will then evaluate each
incident and will make appropriate recommendations.

ANNEX VI
1600 PUBLIC INFORMATION
1601 Introduction
1601.1 When a major national pollution incident occurs.it is imperative
that the public be provided promptly with accurate information on the
nature of the incident and what steps are being taken to correct the
problem. This policy must be followed to obtain understanding from the
public, ensure cooperation from all interested parties and to check the
spread of misinformation. National Administration policy and the Freedom
of Information Act both call for maximum disclosure of information.
1602 National News Office
1602.1 When the NRT is activated, the team chairman will contact the
most appropriate primary agency and ask it to detail a professional
information officer to establish and direct a National News Office.
Requests by the Director of the National News Office for an appropriate
number of professional and clerical assistants will be met by one or more
of the primary agencies.
1602.2 The Director of the National News Office will be responsible for
overall supervision of public information activities. While the Director
of the Regional News Office will have considerable freedom in responding
to news inquiries, he will work under the direction of the Director of
the National News Office. The closest possible coordination will be main-
tained between the National News Office in Washington and the Regional
News Office.
1602.3 Promptly after his designation, the Director of the National News
Office will contact the White House Press Office and the Office of the
Director of Communications for the Federal Government to arrange whatever
information assistance may be required by these offices.
1602.4 All written news releases involving major policy considerations
will be cleared by the Chairman of the NRT or in his absence the Executive
Secretary. Situation reports and other factual releases will not require
formal clearance.
1602.5 The Director of the National News Office will have free access to
meetings of the NRT and will be consulted on the possible public reaction
to the courses of action under consideration by the NRT.
VI-1
-------
1602.6 At appropriate intervals the Director of the National News Office
may arrange news conferences at which the Chairman of the NRT, the OSC or

responsible local officials in affected communities.

release or status report per day will be issued by the National News Office
and the Regional News Office reporting progress in controlling the incident
and other developments.

telephones, typewriters, communications equipment and other supplies by
the U. S. Coast Guard at U. S. Coast Guard Headquarters, Washington, D. C.,

determine what equipment and supplies are needed to ensure an orderly flow
of information and to accommodate visiting members of the news media.

1603.1 When an RRT declares a pollution incident, the Chairman will
contact the most appropriate agency and ask it to detail a professional
public information officer to establish and direct a Regional News Office.
The Regional News Office should be set up at or near the location where
the OSC is stationed. Requests by the Director of the Regional News
Office for appropriate professional and clerical assistance will be met
by one or more of the primary agencies.
1603.2 The Director of the Regional News Office will follow the procedures
outlined above for the Director of National News Office in contacting the
press offices of State and local officials, in arranging appropriate public
information liaison with industries and other concerned interests, and in
issuing at least one daily written news release.
1603.3 All news releases involving major policy considerations will be
cleared by the Chairman of the RRT or, in his absence, the Executive
Secretary. Situation reports and other factual releases will not require
formal clearance.
VI-2
-------
1603.4 The Director of the Regional News Office will have free access
to meetings of the RRT and should be consulted on the possible public
reaction to the courses of action under consideration by the RRT.
1603.5 The Regional News Office will be provided with adequate space,
telephones, typewriters, communications equipment and other supplies by
the primary agency which is providing the headquarters for the RRT. The
Director of the Regional News Office will determine what equipment and
supplies are needed to ensure an orderly flow of information and to
accommodate visiting members of the news media.
1604 Washington, D. C., Public Information Contact
1604.1 If the NRT has not been activated, the Director of the Regional
News Office will ask the most appropriate primary agency to assign a
public information officer in Washington, D. C., to serve as a contact
point for queries made in Washington, D. C. The information officer
assigned to this task will follow the procedures outlined above for the
Director of the National News Office in contacting the press offices of
the White House and Congressional and Federal officials.
1605 Interim Public Information Director
1605.1 In the period following a spill and before a pollution incident
is declared, information activities will be directed by the public
information personnel of the same primary agency which will provide
the pre-designated OSC. These activities will be conducted in accordance
with the information policies of that agency.
1606 Special Public Information Procedures for Senators, Representatives,
Congressional Aides and Staff Members, White House Representatives and
other VIP's~
1606.1 The Director of the National News Office or the Director of the
Regional News Office will arrange, on request, to perform special public
information services for VIP's including: notifying the media of the
time, place and purpose of the VIP visit; making press conference
arrangements; and, arranging for interviews with the VIP by interested
members of the media.

situation will be drafted by the public information personnel assigned
to the problem. After the model letter has been approved by the Chairman

their guidance in responding to mail inquiries.

ANNEX VIII
1800 ENFORCEMENT PROCEDURES1
1801 Introduction
1801.1 The OSC in charge at the scene of a pollution incident may be
from any one of several agencies. Therefore, it is necessary to estab-
lish uniform procedures for notification of counsel, collection of
samples and information consistent with the several phases in Federal
response situations. Necessary information and sample collection must
be performed at the proper times during the Federal involvement in a
pollution incident for the purpose of later use in identifying the party
responsible, in cleanup cost recovery, damage recovery, and civil and
criminal enforcement actions under .appropriate Federal statutes. Time
is of great importance since wind, tide and current may disperse or
remove the evidence and witnesses may no longer be available. Thus,
during the phases of discovery and notification, containment and counter-
measures, cleanup and disposal, and restoration, the OSC must take the
necessary action to put counsel on notice of the event and to ensure that
information, records, and samples adequate for legal and research purposes
are obtained and safeguarded for future use.
1802 Notification of Counsel
1802.1 Immediately upon the declaration of a pollution incident, the RRT
and NRT members, as appropriate, shall notify their respective regional
and departmental attorneys, as provided herein and as detailed in the
regional plan.
1802.2 Initial coordination of counsel will be effected by counsel of the
Department responsible for furnishing the OSC, among counsel of the Corps
of Engineers, the Coast Guard and the Department of the Interior at the
Washington, D. C. level and the regional level, for joint and several actions
concerning legal matters regarding the operation of the Plan, sending of
notices, advices regarding the handling of evidence, preparation of
evidentiary statements, and referral of the matter to the Justice Department
or the appropriate U. S. Attorney.
1802.3 The information and reports obtained by the OSC are to be trans-
mitted to the RRC. Copies will then be forwarded to the NRC, members of
the RRT, and others, as appropriate. The representative of the agency on
the RRT having cost recovery or enforcement authority will then refer copies
of the pollution reports to his respective agency counsel.
^This Annex is interim pending delegations of authority implementing
PL 91-224.
VIII-1
-------
1803 Legal Notice to Ship Operators and Others
1803.1 Notice to the ship or facility operator, owner or other appropriate
responsible person indicating Federal interest and potential action in an
incident shall be prepared and sent by the agency responsible for furnishing
the OSC. This notice should include, among other things, Federal statutes and
regulations violated, indication of responsibility for cleanup, notice that
cleanup be effected pursuant to the National Contingency Plan and Federal
regulations, identification of OSC, and direction that response activity be
coordinated with the OSC.
1804 Action to be Taken by OSC for Phase V Activities in Conjunction With
Actions in Phases I, II, and III
1804.1 Investigate observed instances of oil or other hazardous substances
pollution in the waters covered by the scope of this Plan. Investigative
actions may include:
1804.1 - 1 Board the vessel or visit the facility involved
and ask for the master or person in charge. The investigator
should identify himself and explain his reason for being there;
1804.1 - 2 Question all persons who may be responsible for or
have knowledge of the spillage and record the name, address
and position of each witness;
1804.1 - 3 Furnish anyone who may be responsible for an
offense with an appropriate warning as to his rights;
1804.1 - 4 Obtain signed statements wherever possible indicating
where, when and how the spill occurred and its extent;
1804.1 - 5 When a witness makes an oral statement but will not
give a written statement, reduce the oral statement to writing; and
1804.1 - 6 When the source of the pollution is unknown, obtain
as much information as possible and note any suspect vessels
or facilities.
1804.2 When investigation discloses a reasonable basis to believe a violation
has occurred, collect samples of oil or hazardous substances from the water and
from appropriate spaces and drainage points of the suspected offending vessel
or vessels, shore establishments, or other sources. Collect comparative samples
in unaffected water in the vicinity of the spill.
1804.3 Samples collected are to be transmitted for analysis, using special
courier or registered mail (return receipt requested) and observing the
procedures outlined below. Appropriate analytical laboratories are designated
VIII-2
-------
in the regional plan. Reports of laboratory analysis will be forwarded to
the appropri ate RRT for transmi ttal to counsel. The Chai rman of the RRT wi11
also forward copies of laboratory reports to NRT.
1804.4 Photographs should be taken, if possible, using color film. The
photographs should show the source and the extent of the pollution. The
following information should be recorded on the back of each photographic
print: a) name and location of vessel or facility; b) date and time the
photo was taken; c) names of the photographer and witnesses; d) shutter speed
and lens opening; and e) type of film used and details of film processing.
(The immediate developing type of photographic process may be of major assist-
ance to the less-than-professional photographer by allowing on-the-spot
inspection of results and "retakes" as needed to obtain an acceptable photograph.)
1804.5 If in doubt as to whether or not a particular incident may be an oil
pollution or hazardous substances pollution violation case, or in doubt as to
how to proceed in any given case, contact the RRT for instructions and advice.
If, however, time is a critical factor and/or the RRT has not yet assembled,
proceed as if the incident were a pollution violation.
1805 Sample Collection Procedures to be followed by OSC
1805.1 Several precautions must be observed when taking and handling liquid
samples for analyses as the character of the sample may be affected by a
number of common conditions. These precautions concern the following: a) the
composition of the container; b) cleanliness of the container; and, c) manner
in which the sample is taken.
1805.2 In taking such samples, the following procedures are to be followed
in all cases:
1805.2 - 1 Glass containers of one quart size are to be used.
The portion of the closure (sealing gasket or cap liner) which
may come into contact with the sample in the container is of
considerable importance. When oil or petroleum hydrocarbons
are to be sampled, the closure should be made of glass, alumi-
num foil, or teflon. Other pollutants may require different
or special closure material and the analysis laboratory should
be consulted whenever a question arises as to the appropriateness
of any closure material.
1805.2 - 2 Previously unused containers are preferred. Containers
that have been cleaned with a strong detergent, thoroughly rinsed
and dried may be used.
1805.2 - 3 Samples must be properly labeled using Form NIC-1.
1805.2 - 4 Consult with the analysis laboratory personnel
relative to special samples and unusual problems.
VIII-3
-------
1805.2 - 5 Some explanatory notes covering the above procedures
are as follows: a) glass containers always must be used because
fplastic containers, with the exception of teflon, have been found
in some cases to absorb organic materials from water and, in other
cases, compounds have been dissolved from plastic containers;
b) as it is desirable to take a large sample of the pollutant,
proper skimming techniques should be used to obtain a sufficient
amount of oil for analysis; and, c) since it is not unusual for a
pollution condition to change rapidly, samples should be taken in
a timely fashion, and the time sequences and places noted.
1806 Chain of Custody Record
1806.1 All samples and other tangible evidence must be maintained in
proper custody until orders have been received from competent authority
directing their disposition. Precautions should be taken to protect the
samples from breakage, fire, altering and tampering. It is important that
a chain of custody of the samples be properly maintained and recorded from
the time the samples are taken until ultimate use at the trial of the case.
In this regard, a record of time, place, and the name and title of the per-
son taking the sample, and each person handling same thereafter must be
maintained and forwarded with the sample, using the Form NIC-1.
1807 Non-incident Spills
1807.1 Reports on spills which are not declared to be an incident
(within the meaning of this Plan) shall be handled in accordance with
the directives of the agency supplying the OSC. Procedures described in
1805 and 1806 may be generally applicable to sampling, sample handling
and reporting and should be considered as good operating practices. A
Spill Pollution Report shall be completed for every spill and the original
of the report forwarded to the cognizant RRC.
1808 Spill Pollution Report
1808.1 The appropriate information for each pollution spill should be
obtained by the OSC and reported pursuant to the appropriate instructions.
VIII-4
-------
ANNEX IX
1900 FUNDING
1900.1 It should be noted that a primary thrust of this Plan is to
encourage the person responsible for a spill to take appropriate
remedial actions. Usually this will mean that the cost of contain-
ment counter-measures and cleanup,with respect to spills of oil or
other hazardous substances, should be borne by the person permitting
or causing the spill. The OSC and other officials associated with
the handling of a spill or pollution incident should make substantial
effort to have the responsible person accept voluntarily this finan-
cial responsibility.
1900.2 Actions undertaken by the primary agencies in response to
pollution emergencies shall be carried out under existing programs
and authorities so far as practicable. It is recognized, however,
that the separate agencies may have funds available specifically for
dealing with pollution and related incidents.
1900.3 It is not envisioned that any Federal agency will make resources
available, expend funds or participate in operations in connection with
pollution incidents unless such agency can so respond in conformance
with its existing authority. Authority to expend resources will be in
accordance with the agencies'basic statutes and, if required, through
cross-servicing agreements. This plan does not preclude interagency
agreements whenever specific reimbursement agreements between Federal
agencies are deemed necessary to insure that the Federal resources will
be available for a timely response to a pollution emergency.
1900.4 The Water Quality Improvement Act of 1970 (PL 91-224) authorizes
a revolving fund of up to $35 million to be used to carry out provisions
of this Plan. As yet, no monies have been appropriated for this fund.
Until such time as these funds are available, the agency responsible for
contingency planning in the area shall provide funding.
1901 Department of the Interior
1901.1 The Department of the Interior has made limited funds available,
through administrative direction within FWQA, for expenditure on cleanup
operations under this Plan.
IX-1
-------
1902 Department of Transportation
1902.1 The U. S. Coast Guard polTution control efforts are funded under
"Operating Expenses."
1903 Department of Defense
1903.1 The Department of Defense has two specific sources of funds which
may be applicable to a pollution incident under appropriate circumstances.
(This does not consider military resources which might be made available
under specific circumstances.)
1903.1 - 1 Funds required for removal of a sunken vessel or
similar obstruction to navigation are available to the Corps
of Engineers through Civil Functions Appropriations, Operations
and Maintenance, General.
1903.1-2 The U. S. Navy has funds available on a reimbursable
basis to conduct salvage operations.
1904 Department of Health, Education and Welfare
1904.1 Under the Public Health Act (PL 85-410, as amended), the
Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare may enter into agreements
providing for cooperative planning between the Public Health Service
medical facilities and community health facilities to cope with health
problems resulting from disasters, and for participation by the Public
Health Service medical facilities in carrying out such planning. He
may also, at the request of the appropriate State or local authority,
extend temporary assistance, not to exceed 45 days to State or localities
in meeting health emergencies of such a nature as to warrant Federal
assistance. The Secretary may require such reimbursement of the United
States for aid (other than planning) as he may deem reasonable under the
circumstances.
1905 Office of Emergency Preparedness
1905.1 In making a declaration of a major disaster for a stricken
area, the President may allocate funds from his Disaster Relief Fund.
The allocated funds are administered by the Director, Office of Emergency
Preparedness. Only after the President has declared a major disaster
and authorized the allocation of funds, may the Director authorize cer-
tain reimbursements to other Federal agencies for disaster assistance
directed by the Office of Emergency Preparedness. Applicable policies
and procedures are stated in Title 32, Chapter XVII, Part 1709,
"Reimbursement of Other Federal Agencies Performing Major Disaster
Relief Functions."
IX-2
-------
1905.2 The Director may make financial assistance available to State
Governments and through the States to local governments in accordance
with policies and procedures stated in Title 32, Chapter XVII, Part 1710,
"Federal Disaster Assistance."
1906 Limitations on Funding
1906.1 Care must be taken to ensure that misunderstandings do not
develop about reimbursement of funds expended on cleanup activities.
The OSC should not knowingly request services for which reimbursement
is mandatory unless reimbursement funds are known to be available.
Similarly, the agency supplying a reimbursable service should determine
the source of reimbursement before making expenditures.
1907 Planning
1907.1 The availability of funds and requirements for the reimburse-
ment of expenditures by certain agencies should be included in resource
utilization planning. Regional and subregional contingency plans should
show what is available under what conditions and costs, especially what
resources could be made available if they can be funded. Local inter-
agency agreements will be necessary to spell this out when agency reim-
bursement is required.

ANNEX X
2000 SCHEDULE OF DISPERSANTS AND OTHER CHEMICALS TO TREAT OIL SPILLS
2001 General
2001.1 This schedule shall apply to the navigable waters of the United
States and adjoining shorelines, and the waters of the contiguous zone
as defined in Article 24 of the Convention on the Territorial Sea and the
Contiguous Zone.
2001.2 This schedule applies to the regulation of any chemical as
hereinafter defined that is applied to an oil spill.
2001.3 This schedule advocates development and utilization of mechanical
and other control methods that will result in removal of oil from the
environment with subsequent proper disposal.
2001.4 Relationship of the Federal Water Quality Administration (FWQA)
with other Federal agencies and State agencies in implementing this
schedule: in those States with more stringent laws, regulations or written
policies for regulation of chemical use, such State laws, regulations or
written policies shall govern. This schedule will apply in those States
that have not adopted such laws, regulations or written policies.
2002 Definitions. Substances applied to an oil spill are defined as
follows:
2002.1 Collecting agents - include chemicals or other agents that
can gel!, sorb, congeal, herd, entrap, fix, or make the oil mass more
rigid or viscous in order to facilitate surface removal of oil.
2002.2 Sinking agents - are those chemical or other agents that can
physically sink oil below the water surface.
2002.3 Dispersing agents - are those chemical agents or compounds
which emulsify, disperse or solubilize oil into the water column or
act to further the surface spreading of oil slicks in order to facilitate
dispersal of the oil into the water column.
2003 Collecting Agents. Collecting agents are considered to be generally
acceptable providing that these materials do not in themselves or in com-
bination with the oil increase the pollution hazard.
2004 Sinking Agents. Sinking agents may be used only in marine waters
exceeding 100 meters in depth where currents are not predominantly on-shore,
and only if other control methods are judged by FWQA to be inadequate or
not feasible.
X-l
-------
2005 Authorities Controlling Use of Dispersants
2005.1 Regional response team activated: dispersants may be used in
any place, at any time, and in quantities designated by the On-Scene
Commander, when their use will
2005.1 - 1 in the judgment of the On-Scene Commander, prevent
or substantially reduce hazard to human life or limb or sub-
stantial nazard of fire to property;
2005.1 - 2 in the judgment of FWQA, in consultation with
appropriate State agencies, prevent or reduce substantial
hazard to a major segment of the population(s) of vulnerable
species of waterfowl; and
2005.1 - 3 in the judgment of FWQA, in consultation with
appropriate State agencies, result in the least overall
environmental damage, or interference with designated uses.
2005.2 Regional response team not activated: provisions of Section 2005.1-1
shall apply. The use of dispersants in any other situation shall be subject
to this schedule except in States where State laws, regulations, or written
policies that govern the prohibition, use, quantity, or type of dispersant
are in effect. In such States, the State laws, regulations or written policies
shall be followed during the cleanup operation.
2006 Interim Restrictions on Use of Dispersants for Pollution Control
Purposes^Except as noted in 2005.1, dispersants shall not be used
2006.1 on any distillate fuel of1;
2006.2 on any spill of oil less than 200 barrels in quantity;
2006.3 on any shoreline;
2006.4 in any waters less than 100 feet deep;
2006.5 in any waters containing major populations, or breeding or passage
areas for species of fish or marine life which may be damaged or rendered
commercailly less marketable by exposure to dispersant or dispersed oil;
2006.6 in any waters where winds and/or currents are of such velocity and
direction that dispersed oil mixtures would likely, in the judgment of FWQA,
be carried to shore areas within 24 hours; or
2006.7 in any waters where such use may affect surface water supplies.
X-2
-------
2007 Dispersant Use. Dispersants may be used in accordance with this
schedule if other control methods are judged to be inadequate or infeasible,
and if:
2007.1 information has been provided to FWQA, in sufficient time prior
to Its use for review by FWQA, on its toxicity, effectiveness and oxygen
demand determined by the standard procedures published by FWQA. [Prior
to publication by FWQA of standard procedures, no dispersant shall be
applied, except as noted in Section 2005.1-1 in quantities exceeding 5 ppm
in the upper 3 feet of the water column during any 24-hour period. This
amount is equivalent to 5 gallons per acre per 24 hours.]; and
2007.2 applied during any 24-hour period in quantities not exceeding the
96 hour TI_5Q of the most sensitive species tested as calculated in the top
foot of the water column. The maximum volume of chemical permitted, in
gallons per acre per 24 hours, shall be calculated by multiplying the 96 hour
TL5Q value of the most sensitive species tested, in ppm, by 0.33; except that
in no case, except as noted in Section 2005.1-1, will the daily application
rate of chemical exceed 540 gallons per acre or one-fifth of the total volume
spilled, whichever quantity is smaller.
2007.3 Dispersant containers are labeled with the following information:
2007.3 - 1 name, brand or trademark, if any, under which
the chemical is sold;
2007.3 - 2 name and address of the manufacturer, importer
or vendor;
2007.3 - 3 flash point;
2007.3 - 4 freezing or pour point;
2007.3 - 5 viscosity;
2007.3 - 6 recommend application procedure(s), concentration(s),
and conditions for use as regards water salinity, water temperature,
and types and ages of oils; and
2007.3 - 7 date of production and shelf life.
2007.4 Information to be supplied to FWQA on the:
2007.4 - 1 chemical name and percentage of each component;
2007.4 - 2 concentrations of potentially hazardous trace materials,
including, but not necessarily being limited to lead, chromium, zinc,
arsenic, mercury, nickel, copper or chlorinated hydrocarbons;
X-3
-------
2007.4 - 3 description of analytical methods used in determining
chemical characteristics outlined in 2007.4-1,2 above;
2007.4 - 4 methods for analyzing the chemical in fresh and
salt water are provided to FWQA, or reasons why such analytical
methods cannot be provided;
2007.4 - 5 for purposes of research and development, FWQA may
authorize use of dispersants in specified amounts and locations
under controlled conditions irrespective of the provisions of
this schedule.
X-4
-------
ANNEX XI
2100 NON-FEDERAL INTERESTS
2101 General Policy
2101.1 The policy of the Federal government is to respond to those
situations which are beyond the response capability of State and local
governments and private interests. Normally minor spills will be well
within the capability of non-federal resources and will not, therefore,
require a Federal response. During moderate and major spills or pollution
incidents, a Federal response may be required. The cognizant officials would
be notified and Federal resources used to supplement local resources.
2110 Planning and Preparedness
2110.1 The planning and preparedness functions incorporated in the
Contingency Plans also apply to non-federal resources. The State and local
governments and private interests should be encouraged to participate at the
planning and preparedness functions.
2110.2 State and local governments should be encouraged to incorporate the
pollution spill contingency plan into existing emergency planning.
2120 Commitment
2120.1 Firm commitments for response personnel and other resources should
be obtained from State and local governments. (These resources should be
fully detailed in the sub-regional contingency plans.)
2120.2 It is anticipated that Federal resources would only be used if the
response requirements exceed the State and local capabilities. Whenever
Federal resources are required, the predesignated OSC would monitor and be
available to offer advice.

2503.13 CRUDE OIL; Petroleum as it is extracted from the earth. There
may be several thousands of different substances in crude oil some of
which evaporate quickly, while others persist indefinitely. The physical
characteristics of crude oils may vary widely. Crude oils are often
identified in trade jargon by their regions of origin. This identifi-
cation may not relate to the apparent physical characteristics of the oil.
Commercial gasoline, kerosene, heating oils, diesel oils, lubricating oils,
waxes, and asphalts are all obtained by refining crude oil.
2503.14 DEMULSIBILITY: The resistance of an oil to emul si fi cation, or the
ability of an oil to separate from any water with which it is mixed. The
better the demulsibility rating, the more quickly the oil separates from
water.
2503.15 DENSITY; Density is the term meaning the mass of a unit volume.
Its numerical expression varies with the units selected.
2503.16 EMULSION; A mechanical mixture of two liquids which do not
naturally mix as oil and water. Water-in-oil emulsions have the water
as the internal phase and oil as the external. Oil-in-water emulsions
have water as the external phase and the internal phase is oil.
2503.17 FIRE POINT; The lowest temperature at which an oil vaporizes
rapidly enough to burn for at least 5 seconds after ignition, under
standard conditions.
2503.18 FLASH POINT: The lowest temperature at which an oil gives off
sufficient vapor to form a mixture which will ignite, under standard
conditions.
2503.19 FRACTION: Refinery term for a product of fractional distillation
.having a restricted boiling range.
2503.20 FUEL OIL GRADE: Numerical ratings ranging from 1 to 6. The lower
the grade number, the thinner the oil is and the more easily it evaporates.
A high number indicates a relatively thick, heavy oil. No. 1 and 2
fuel oils are usually used in domestic heaters, and the others are used
by industry and ships. No. 5 and 6 oils are solids which must be liquified
by heating. Kerosene, coal oil, and range oil are all No. 1 oil. No. 3
fuel oil is no longer used as a standard term.
2503.21 INNA6E: Space occupied in a product container.
2503.22 IN PERSONEM; An action in personem is instituted against an
individual, usually through the personal service of process, and may
result in the imposition of a liability directly upon the person of a
defendent.
XV-4
-------
2503.23 IN REM: An action in rem is one in which the vessel or thinq itself
is treated as offender and made defendant without any proceeding against the
owners or even mentioning their names. The decree in an action vn ran is
enforced directly against the res. by a condemnation and sale thereof.~
2503.24 LOAD ON TOP: A procedure for ballasting and cleaning unloaded
tankers without discharging oil. Half of the tanks are first filled with
seawater while the others are cleaned by hosing. Then oil from the cleaned
tanks, along with oil which has separated out in the full tanks, is pumped
into a single slop tank. The clean water in the full tanks is then dis-
charged while the freshly-cleaned tanks are filled with seawater. Ballast
is thus constantly maintained.
2503.25 OIL FILMS: A slick thinner than .0001 inch and may be classified
as follows:
gallons of oil
standard term per square mile appearance
"barely visible" 25 barely visible under most
favorable light conditions
"silvery" 50 visible as a silvery sheen
on surface water
"slightly colored" 100 first trace of color
may be observed
"brightly colored" 200 bright bands of color
are visible
"dull" 666 colors begin to turn
dull brown
"dark" 1332 much darker brown
Note: Each one-inch thickness of, oil equals 5.61 gallons per square
yard or 17,378,709 gallons per square mile.
2503.26 OUTAGE: Space left in a product container to allow for expansion
during temperature changes it may undergo during shipment and use.
Measurement of space not occupied.
2503.27 plj; Term used to express the apparent acidity or alkalinity of
aqueous solutions; values below 7 indicate acid solutions and values
above 7 indicate alkaline solutions.

-------
2503.20 POUR POINT: The lowest temperature at which an of! will flov,- or
can be poured under specified conditions of test.
2503.29 BESIDyAL__OIJ._: A general tern used to indicate a heavy viscous
fuel oi1.
2503.30 SCUPPERS.: Openings around the deck of a vessel which allow water
falling onto "the deck to flow overboard. Should be plugged durino fuel
transfer.
2503.31 SLUDGE OIL: Muddy impurities and acid which have settled from a
mineral oil.
2503.32 SPECIFIC GRAVITY: The ratio of the weight of a given volume of the
material at a stated temperature to the weight of an equal volume of dis-
tilled v/ater at a stated temperature.
2503.33 SPONTANEOUS IGNITION TEMPERATURE: (S.I.T.): The temperature at
which an oil ignite's of its own accord in the presence of air oxygen under
standard conditions.
2503.34 STOKEj The unit of kinematic viscosity.
2503.35 TONj_!AGE: There are various tonnages applied to merchant ships.
The one commonly implied is gross tonnage although in these days tankers
and other bulk-carriers are often referred to in terms of deadweight.
2503.35-1 Gross tonnage. 100 cubic feet of permanently enclosed
space is equal to one gross ton—nothing whatever to do with weight.
This is usually the registered tonnage although it nay vary somev.-hat
according to the classifying authority or nationality.
2503.35-2 Net tonnage. The earning capacity of a ship. The gross
tonnage after deduction of certain spaces, such as engine and boiler
rooms, crew accommodation, stores, equipment etc. Port and harbor
dues are based on this tonnage.
2503.35-3 Displacement tonnage. The actual weight in tons, varyinn
according to whether a vessel is in light or loaded condition. '.Jar-
ships are always spoken of by this form of measurement.
2503.35-4 Deadweight tonnage. The actual weight in tons of cargo,
stores, etc. required to bring a vessel down to her load line, from
the light conditon. Cargo deadweight is, as its name implies, the
actual weight in tons of the cargo when loaded, as distinct from
stores, ballast, etc.

2503.36 ULLAGE: The amount by which a tank or vessel lacks being filled.
(See also OUTAGE)
2503.37 VISCOSITY: The property of liquids which causes them to resist
instantaneous change of shape, or instantaneous re-arrangement of their
parts, due to internal friction. The resistance which the particles of
a liquid offer to a force tending to move them in relation to each other.
Viscosity of oils is usually expressed as the number of seconds at a
definite temperature required for a standard quantity of oil to flow
through a standard apparatus.
2503.38 VISCOUS: Thick, resistant to flow, having a high viscosity.
2503.39 VOLATILE: Evaporates easily.
