For purposes of this Plan, removal refers to Phase III and IV response operations. ------- 200 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 discharge of oil or hazardous substance into or upon the navigable waters of the United States, adjoining shorelines, or into or upon the waters of the contiguous zone (Sec. 311 (b)(l) of the Act). 201.2 The primary thrust of this Plan is to provide a coordinated Federal response capability at the scene of an unplanned or sudden, and usually accidental, discharge of oil or hazardous substances that poses a threat to the public health or welfare. Initial actions of the Federal OSC, designated pursuant to Part 1510.36 of the National Plan and this Regional Plan, shall be to determine, in accor- dance with section 311 (c)(l) of the Act, if the actions taken by the person responsible for the discharge of oil or hazardous substance are proper to remove the discharge. The OSC should, if practicable, insure that the person responsible for the discharge is aware of his responsibility and is encouraged to undertake necessary countermeasures. In the event that the person responsible for the discharge does not act promptly, does not take or propose to take proper and appropriate actions to remove the discharged pollutants, or if the person responsible for the discharge is unknown, further Federal response actions shall be instituted as required in accor- dance with this Plan. When the person responsible for the discharge is taking proper action, the OSC shall observe and monitor progress, and provide advice, counsel, and logistical support as may be necessary. 201.3 Removal actions taken pursuant to section 311 (c)(l) of the act are limited to the navigable waters of the United States, adjoining shorelines and the waters of the contiguous zone. When a discharge or potential discharge that poses a threat to the waters of the U.S. occurs outside the jurisdiction under section 311 (c) of the Act, the procedures of this Plan apply to the extent practicable and removal action will be accomplished pursuant to other Agency authorities. 201.4 In accordance with section 311 (d), whenever a marine disaster in or upon the navigable waters of the United States has created a substantial threat of pollution hazard to the public health or welfare, because of a discharge, or an imminent discharge, of large quantities of oil, or of a hazardous substance from a vessel, the United States may: 1) coordinate and direct all public and private efforts directed at the removal or elimination of such threat and ------- 2) summarily remove and, if necessary, destroy such vessel by whatever means are available without regard to any provisions of law governing the employment of personnel or the expenditure of appropriated funds. This authority has been delegated to the Administrator of EPA and the Secretary of the Department in which the Coast Guard is operating, respectively, in and for the waters for which each has responsibility to furnish or provide the OSC under this Plan. 201.5 In addition to any other actions taken by a State or local government, when the Administrator of EPA or the Secretary of the Department in which the Coast Guard is operating determines there is an imminent and substantial threat to the public health and welfare because of an actual or threatened discharge of oil or hazardous substance into or upon the waters of the United States from any onshore or offshore facility, he may require, through the Attorney General, that the U.S. Attorney of the district in which the threat occurs secure such relief as may be necessary to abate such threat. This authority could be exercised on request of the NRT. 201.6 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 and as consistent with operational requirements, within the limits of existing statutory authority, and within the spirit of the President's intention to minimize discharges and their effects when they do occur. 201.7 Environmental pollution control techniques shall be employed in accordance with applicable regulations and guidelines and the Regional Contingency Plan. In any circumstances not covered by regulations or the Regional Contingency Plan, the use of chemicals shall be in accordance with Annex X and must have the concurrence of the EPA representative or alternate representative on the RRT or, in his absence, the concurrence of the appropriate EPA Regional Administra tor. 202 Fede ra1 Res pon s i bi1i ty 202.1 Each of the Primary and Advisory Federal Agencies has responsibilities established by statute, Executive Order or Presidential Directive which may bear on the Federal response to a pollution discharge. 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 discharges are detailed in Annex VII to this part. ------- 202.2 The Council on_Environmental Quality is responsible for the preparation, publication, revision and amendment of the National Contingency Plan. The Council will receive the advice of the NRT on necessary changes to the Plan and shall insure that any disagree- ments arising among members of the NRT are expeditiously settled. 202.3 The Department of Commerce, through NOAA, provides support to the NRT, RRT and OSC with respect to marine environmental data, living marine resources, current and predicted meteorological, hydrologic and oceanographic conditions for the high seas, coastal and inland waters, and maps and charts, including tides and currents for coastal and territorial waters and the Great Lakes. When requested by NRT, MarAd will provide advice on the design, construc- tion and operation of merchant ships. 202.4 The Department of Defense, consistent with its operational requirements, may provide assistance in critical pollution discharges and in the maintenance of navigation channels, salvage, and removal of navigation obstructions. 202.5 The Department of Health, Education, and Welfare is responsible for providing expert advice and assistance relative to those discharges or potential discharges that constitute or may constitute a threat to public health and safety. 202.6 The Department of Housing and Urban Development, through FDAA, maintains an awareness of pollution emergencies and evaluates any request for a major disaster declaration received from a Governor of a State pursuant to Public Law 93-288. If the Presidnet declares that a pollution emergency constitutes a major disaster or that a major disaster is imminent as defined by Public Law 93-288, the Director, FDAA, will coordinate and direct the Federal response. 202.7 The Department of Interior, through the USGS, supplies expertise in the fields of oil drilling, producing, handling, and pipeline transportation. Also, the USGS has access to and supervision over continuously manned facilities which can be used for command, con- trol, and surveillance of spills occurring from operations conducted under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act. Additionally, the Department of Interior will provide, through its Regional Coordinators, technical expertise to the OSC and RRT with respect to land, fish and wildlife, and other resources for which it is responsible. 202.8 The Department of Justice can supply expert legal advice to deal with complicated judicial questions arising from discharges and Federal agency responses. ------- 202.9 The Department of Transportation provides expertise regarding all modes of transporting oil and hazardous substances. Through the USCG, the Department supplies support and expertise in the domestic/ international fields of port safety and security, marine law enforce- ment, navigation, and construction, manning, operation, and safety of vessels and marine facilities. Additionally, the Coast Guard maintains continuously manned facilities that are capable of command, control, and surveillance for oil discharges occurring on the waters of the United States or the high seas. The USCG is responsible for chairing the RRT and for implementing, developing, and revising, as necessary, the regional plans for those areas where it is assigned the responsibility to furnish or provide for OSCs (Sec. 306.2). 202.10 The Department of State will provide leadership in developing joint international contingency plans. It will also provide assis- tance in coordination when a pollution discharge transects inter- national boundaries or involves foreign flag vessels. 202.11 The Department of Energy is the designated Agency for administration, implementation and coordination of the Interagency Radiological Assistance Plan (IRAP). DOE will provide advice and assistance to the NRT with respect to the identification of the source and extent of radioactive contamination, and removal and disposal of radioactive discharges. 202.12 The Environmental Protection Agency, through the Office of Water and Hazardous Materials, provides expertise regarding environmental effects of pollution discharges and environmental pollution control techniques, including assessment of damages. EPA shall also advise the RRT and OSC of the degree of hazard a partic- ular discharge poses to the public health and safety. EPA is responsible for chairing the RRT and for development, revision and implementation, as necessary, of regional plans for those areas in which it has responsibility to furnish or provide for the OSC (Sec. 306.2). EPA will provide guidance to and coordinate with DOT regarding pollution control and protection of the environment in the preparation of regional plans. 202.13 All Federal agencies are responsible for minimizing the occurrence of discharges and for developing the capability to respond promptly in cases of discharges from facilities they operate or supervise, and for making resources available for Federal pollution response operations. 202.14 In addition to paragraph 202.13 of this section, Primary Agencies are responsible for: 1) Leading all Federal agencies in programs to minimize the number of and environmental damage associated with discharges from facilities they operate or supervise, 2) Providing representation to the NRT and the RRT's, ------- 3) Developing, within their operating elements, the capa- bility for a rapid, coordinated response to any pollution discharge, 4) Making information available to the NRT, RRT, or OSC as necessary, and 5) Keeping NRT and the RRT's 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 The States are invited to provide liaison to RRT's and shall designate the appropriate element of the State government that would undertake direction of State supervised discharge removal operations. The designated agency shall be the single State governmental element that will seek reimbursement for removal operation expenditures in accordance with section 311 (c) (2)(H) of the Act. Details on reimbursement to States for removal actions taken pursuant to this Plan are contained in 33 CFR, Part 153, and Annex IX--Funding. Annex III, Part 3.17, lists the names and telephone numbers of designated State RRT funding liaison contacts. 203.2 Industry groups, the academic community, and others are encouraged to commit resources for removal operations. Their specific commitments are outlined by the regional plans. Of particular relevance is the organization of a standby scientific response capability. ------- 300 PLANNING AND RESPONSE ORGANIZATION 301 Emergency Response Activities and Coordination 301.1 For pollution emergency response activities, Federal on-scene coordination is accomplished through the OSC. He reports to and receives advice from an RRT composed of appropriate representatives from the Regional and District offices of the Primary and Advisory Agencies. 301.2 National level coordination is accomplished through the NRT which receives reports from and renders advice to the RRT. Activities are coordinated through the National and various regional response centers. 301.3 The organizational concepts of this Plan are shown in Figure 1. 302 National Response Team 302.1 The NRT consists of representatives from the Primary and Advisory Agencies. It serves as the National body for planning and preparedness actions prior to a pollution discharge and for coor- dination and advice during a pollution emergency. It shall be organized and shall function as outlined in Annex II of the National Plan. 302.2 The NRT shall establish and maintain a Committee on Revision of the National Plan. This Committee shall provide suggested revisions to the NRT for consideration, approval and publication by CEQ. The Primary Agencies shall provide membership on this standing committee. Advisory Agencies shall participate whenever revision or proposed amendments would affect those Agencies. 302.3 Based on a continuing evaluation of response actions, the NRT shall consider and make recommendations to appropriate agencies relating to training and equipping response team personnel; necessary research, development, demonstration and evaluation stockpiling and other operational matters as the need arises. CEQ shall be advised of any agency's failure to adequately respond to these recommendations. 302.4 During pollution emergencies, the NRT shall act as an emer- gency response team to be activated in the event of a discharge involving oil or hazardous substances which 1) exceeds the response capability of the region in which it occurs, 2) transects regional boundaries, or 3) involves significant numbers of persons or nationally significant amounts of property. The NRT can be called out also upon request by any Primary Agency representative. Each representative, or an appropriate alternate, shall be notified by telephone of activation of the NRT. The NRT has no operational control of the OSC. 11 ------- CONTINGENCY PLAN CONCEPTS _j -L PRIMARY AGENCIES 1105.16; ADVISORY AGENCIES lios.nj DHEW n FDAA /AGENCY \ (RESOURCES) \ (202) / OTHER ^RESOURCES) (203) SPECIAL FORCES (504) osc (306) /ON-SCENE\ VFORCESy (NUMBERS REFER TO SECTIONS OF THIS PLAN) Fig. 12 ------- 303 National Response Center 303.1 The NRC, located at Headquarters, USCG, is the Washington, D. C., headquarters site for activities relative to pollution emer- gencies. NRC quarters are described in Annex III of the National Plan and provided communications, including a continuously manned communication center, information storage, and necessary personnel and facilities to promote the smooth and adequate functioning of this activity. 304 Regional Response Team 304.1 The RRT consists of regional representatives of the Primary and selected Advisory Agencies, as appropriate. RRT shall act within its region as an emergency response team performing response functions similar to those described for NRT. RRT will also perform review and advisory functions relative to the regional plan similar to those prescribed for NRT at the National level. Additionally, the RRT shall determine the duration and extent of the Federal response and when a shift of the on-scene coordination from the predesignated OSC to another OSC is indicated by the circumstances or progress of a pollution discharge. 304.2 Each Primary Agency shall designate one member and a minimum of one alternate member to the RRT. Each Advisory Agency may designate a member. Agencies may also provide additional representatives as observers to meetings of the RRT. Individuals representing the participating agencies may vary depending on the subregional area in which the discharge occurred or removal actions are underway. Details of such representation are specified in Annex III of this plan. 304.3 Each of the States lying within a region is invited to furnish liaison to the RRT for planning and preparedness activities. When the Team is activated for a pollution emergency, the affected State or States are invited to participate in RRT deliberations. See Annex III of this Plan for names of designated State represen- tatives. 304.4 The RRT shall be activated automatically in the event of a major or potential major discharge. The RRT shall be activated during any other pollution emergency by an oral request from any Primary Agency representative to the Chairman of the team. Designated State representatives, upon conferring with either the USEPA or the USCG and gaining their agreement, can also acti- vate the RRT.,. Such requests for team activation shall be confirmed in writing. The time of team activation, place of assembly, and means of contact shall be included in POLREPS submitted in accor- dance with Annex V of this Plan. 304.5 The Chairman may require assembly of all or selected members of the team at the emergency center during a pollution response operation to provide technical support and assistance to the OSC. 13 ------- 304.6 Deactivation of RRT shall be by agreement between the EPA and USCG team members. The time of deactivation shall be included in POLREPS submitted in accordance with Annex V of this Plan. 304.7 Boundaries of the Standard Federal Regions as shown in Annex IV of this Plan shall be followed for the development of the Regional Contingency Plan. As a minimum, these areas shall be defined to correspond to the areas in which the Environmental Protection Agency and the Coast Guard are respectively responsible for furnishing or providing for the OSC's. 304.8 The planning and preparedness functions of the team are outlined below: 1) Develop procedures to promote the coordinated actions of all Federal, State, and local government and private agencies in response to pollution incidents. 2) Review reports from the On-Scene Coordinator on the handling of major spills and pollution incidents for the purposes of analyzing response actions and recom- mending needed improvements in the contingency plans. 304.9 Response functions would be performed anytime the team is activated. The degree of response and therefore the extent of the RRT activity would depend on the particular situation. Specific functions of the RRT are outlined below. 1) Monitor incoming reports and evaluate the possible impact of the spill. Maintain an awareness of pro- posed actions of the On-Scene Coordinator. 2) Coordinate the actions of the various agencies in supplying needed assistance to the On-Scene Coordinator. Assistance will normally be obtained through the appropriate member of the Regional Response Team. 3) Provide advice as required of the On-Scene Coordinator and recommend courses of action for consideration by the On-Scene Coordinator. The Regional Response Team, however, has no direct operational control over the On-Scene Coordinator. 4) Determine the nature and extent of Federal Response required. 5) Recommend deployment of personnel to monitor the handling of the spill. 6) Request other agencies and groups to consider taking appropriate response action. 7) Determine when a shift of on-scene coordination from the pre-designated OSC is indicated by circumstances and designate the appropriate OSC. 14 ------- 8) Provide a focal point for public relations (See Annex VI). 305 Regional Response Center 305.1 For pollution control activities under this Plan, the Regional Response Center is accommodated at the Environmental Protection Agency's Region V office in Chicago, Illinois. The Regional Response Center is accommodated in quarters described in Annex II, Sec. 2.04.5 of this Plan, and will provide communica- tions, information storage and other necessary personnel and facilities to promote the proper functioning and administration of this Plan. 305.2 Quarterly meetings of Primary Agencies and supporting Advisory Agencies will be held for the purpose of reviewing past RRT actions and for planning future actions. The meetings will generally be held at the USCG District offices in Cleveland or St. Louis or at the RRC Office in Chicago. 306 Qn-Scene Coordination 306.1 Coordination and direction of Federal pollution control efforts at the scene of a discharge or potential discharge shall be accom- plished through the OSC, predesignated by regional plan to coordinate and direct such pollution control activities in each area of the region. 1) In the event of a discharge of oil or hazardous polluting substance, the first official on the site from an agency having responsibility under this Plan shall assume coor- dination of activities under the Plan until the arrival of the OSC. 2) The OSC shall determine pertinent facts about a particular spill, such as its potential impact on human health and welfare, the nature, amount, and location of material discharged, the probably direction and time of travel of the material, the resources and installations which may be affected and the priorities for protecting them. 3) The OSC shall initiate and direct as required Phase II, Phase III and Phase IV operations. Advice provided by the EPA representative on the RRT on use of chemicals in Phase III and Phase IV operations in response to discharges of oil or hazardous substances shall be binding on the OSC, except as provided for by Annex X. 4) The OSC shall call upon and direct the deployment of needed resources in accordance with the regional plan to evaluate the magnitude of the discharge and to initiate and continue removal operations. 5) The OSC shall provide necessary support activities and documentation for Phase V activities. ------- 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 the environment from pollution damage. 306.2 EPA and the USCG shall insure that OSC's are predesignated for all areas within the region: 1) The EPA is responsible for furnishing or providing for On-Scene Coordinators for the inland waters in Region V. A more detailed description of the OSC areas of responsibility is included in Annex IV. 2) The USCG Ninth District is assigned the responsibility to provide OSC's for the open waters of the Great Lakes including Lake St. Clair, the interconnecting rivers, major bays, ports and harbors, and the tributary rivers to the limits of their navigability by large bulk carriers. As this is the coastal regional area of Region V, a more detailed description of the area of responsibility is included in the contingency plan developed by the Ninth Coast Guard District for the coastal regional area within Region V. See Annex IV, Sec. 4.09, on Ninth Coast Guard District OSC Boundaries. 3) The U.S. Coast Guard Second District is assigned the responsibility to provide OSC's for several rivers and river port areas according to agreements reached with EPA Region V. See Annex IV, Sec. 4.08, on Second Coast Guard District OSC Boundaries. River areas not covered in Sec. 4.08 fall under EPA authority relative to OSC's but Coast Guard assistance can be requested if its personnel and equipment are available. 4) The major consideration in selection of the OSC shall be based upon that Agency's capability and resources for pollution control response activities and the indi- vidual OSC's knowledge of the National Contingency Plan and the appropriate Regional Contingency Plan. 306.3 All Federal Agencies are required by executive order to develop emergency plans and procedures for dealing with accidental pollution. All Federal agencies, therefore, are responsible for designating the offices to coordinate response actions for facili- ties or vessels under their jurisdiction and for the provision of means to remove or mitigate the effects of discharges from their facilities. If the responsible Agency does not act promptly or take appropriate action, the EPA or USCG shall, depending on the area in which the discharge occurs, assume the OSC functions. Pollution control actions taken must be in accordance with Federal regulations and guidelines, EPA policies and this plan. 16 ------- 400 OPERATIONS - RESPONSE PHASES 401 Phase Groupings 401.1 The actions taken to respond to a pollution discharge can be separated into five relatively distinct classes or phases. For descriptive purposes, these are: Phase I - Discovery and Notification; Phase II - Evaluation and Initiation of Action; Phase III - Containment and Countermeasures; Phase IV - Removal, Mitigation and Disposal; and Phase V - Documentation and Cost Recovery. It must be recognized that elements of any one phase may take place concurrently with one or more other phases. 402 Phase I - Discovery and Notification 402.1 A discharge may be discovered through 1) a report submitted by a discharger in accordance with statutory requirements, 2) deliberate search by vessel patrols and aircraft and 3) random or incidental observations by government agencies or the general public. In the event of receipt of a report by the discharger, written verification of such notification shall be provided by the receiving Federal agency within seven working days. 402.2 In the event of a deliberate discovery, the discharge will be reported directly to the RRC. Reports from random discovery may be initially through fishing or pleasure boats, police depart- ments, telephone operators, port authorities, news media, or others. Reports generated by random discovery should be reported to the nearest USCG or EPA office. Regional plans shall provide for such reports to be channeled to the RRC as promptly as possible to facilitate effective response action. Reports of major and medium discharges received by either EPA or USCG shall be expedi- tiously relayed by telephone to the other agency. Reports of minor discharges shall be exchanged between EPA and USCG as agreed to by the two agencies. 402.2 The Agency furnishing the OSC for a particular area is assigned responsibility for implementing Phase I activities in that area. 403 Phase II - Evaluation and Initiation of Action 403.1 The OSC shall insure that a report of a discharge is immediately investigated. Based on all available information, the OSC shall 1) evaluate the magnitude and severity of the discharge, 2) determine the feasibility of removal, and 3) assess the effectiveness of removal actions. 403.2 The OSC shall, when appropriate and as soon as possible after receipt of a report, advise the RRC of the need to initiate further governmental response actions. This may be limited to activation of the RRT or a request for additional resources to conduct further surveillance or initiation of Phase III or Phase IV removal operations. 17 ------- 403.3 The OSC shall insure that adequate surveillance is maintained to determine that removal actions are being properly carried out. If removal is not being done properly, the OSC shall so advise the responsible party. If, after the responsible party has been advised and does not initiate proper removal action, the OSC shall, pursuant to section 311 (c)(l) of the Act, take necessary action to remove the pollutant. 403.4 If the discharger is unknown or otherwise unavailable, the OSC shall proceed with removal actions pursuant to section 311 (c)(l) of the Act. 404 Phase III - Containment and Countermeasures 404.1 These are defensive actions to be initiated as soon as possible after discovery and notification of a discharge. These actions may include public health and welfare protection activities, source control procedures, 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 materials to restrain the pollutant and its effects on water related resources. 405 Phase IV - Cleanup, Mitigation, and Disposal 405.1 This includes actions taken to recover the pollutant from the water and affected public and private shoreline areas, and monitoring activities to determine the scope and effectiveness of removal actions. Actions that could be taken include the use of sorbers, skimmers and other collection devices for floating pollutants, the use of vacuum dredges or other devices for sunken pollutants, the use of reaeration or other methods to minimize or mitigate damage resulting from dissolved, suspended or emulsified pollutants; or special treatment techniques to protect public water supplies or wildlife resources from continuing damage. 405.2 Pollutants and contaminated materials that are recovered in cleanup operations shall be disposed of in accordance with procedures agreed to at the State or local level. 406 Phase V - Documentation and Cost Recovery 406.1 This includes a variety of activities, depending on the location of and circumstances surrounding a particular discharge. Recovery of Federal removal costs and recovery for damage done to Federal, State or local government property is included; however, third party damages are not dealt with in this Plan. 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 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 18 ------- during the case to fix liability and for other purposes. See Annex VIII. 407 Special Considerations 407.1 Safety of personnel. Actual or potential polluting dis- charges that could have an imminent and substantial effect on both air and water media can pose serious hazards to personnel health and safety. The OSC should be aware of this potential and should exercise caution in allowing civilian or government personnel into the affected area without first verifying the nature of the substance discharged. See Annex XV. 407.2 Waterfowl conservation. Oil discharges particularly in estuarine and near shore areas, often cause severe stress to resident migratory bird species. The DOI representatives and the State liaison to the RRT shall arrange for and coordinate actions of professional and volunteer groups that wish to establish bird collection, cleaning and recovery centers. For specific instructions on bird conservation or cleaning operations, consult specialists in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, DOI. Specific information on acceptable practices can be found in the "General Guidelines for Responding to Oil and Hazardous Material Discharges", U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Region III, July 23, 1976. 19 ------- 500 COORDINATING INSTRUCTIONS 501 Delegation of Authority 501.1 When required, delegation of authority or concurrence in proposed or continuing pollution control activities initially may be oral; however, written confirmation by the EPA representative on RRT should be completed as soon as possible. 502 Multi-Regional Actions 502.1 In the event that a discharge or a potential pollution emergency 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 action shall be fully coordinated as detailed in Annex II. 502.2 There shall be only one On-Scene Coordinator at any time during the course of a response operation. Should a discharge affect two or more areas, the RRT will designate the OSC, giving prime consideration to the area vulnerable to the greatest damage. NRT shall desingate the OSC if members of one RRT or of two adja- cent RRT's, if appropriate, are unable to agree on the designation. 503 General Pattern of Response Actions 503.1 When the predesignated Federal On-Scene Coordinator receives a report of a discharge, or potential discharge, the report should be evaluated. In most situations, the sequence of actions shown below should be followed: 1) Investigate the report to determine pertinent infor- mation such as the threat posed to public health or welfare, the type and quantity of material discharged, and the source of the discharge. 2) Effect communications and reporting in accordance with Annex V to this Plan. 3) Determine, in accordance with section 311 (c)(l) of the Act, whether removal actions are being carried out properly. Removal is considered as being done properly when the following criteria are met: a) Private cleanup efforts are effects in terms of the statutory definition of removal, that is, they are fully sufficient to minimize or mitigate damage to the public health or welfare. Private removal efforts shall be deemed "improper" to the extent 21 ------- that Federal efforts are necessary to prevent continued or further damage. b) Private removal efforts must be in accordance with applicable regulations and guidelines, Annex X, and other provisions and restrictions of this Plan. 4) Designate the severity of the situation and determine the future course of action to be followed. 5) Determine whether State action to effect removal is necessary. 503.2 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: 1) If the investigation shows that the initial information overstated the magnitude or danger of the discharge and there is no environmental pollution involved, it shall be considered a false alarm and the case should be closed. 2) If the investigation shows a minor discharge with the discharger taking cleanup action, contact is made with the discharger. The removal action should be monitored to insure continued proper action by the owner or operator of the vessel, onshore facility or offshore facility from which the discharge occurred. 3) If the investigation shows a minor discharge with improper action being taken, the following measures shall be taken: a) An immediate effort should be made to prevent further discharges from the source. b) The discharger shall be advised of the proper action to be taken. c) If the discharger does not follow this advice, warning of the discharger's liability for the cost of removal pursuant to section 311 (f) shall be given. d) The OSC should notify appropriate State and local officials. He shall keep the RRC advised and initiate Phase III and IV operations as conditions warrant. e) Information shall be collected for possible re- covery of removal costs when removal is effected in accordance with section 311 (c)(l) of the Act. 22 ------- 4) When a report or investigation indicates that a medium discharge has occurred or that the potential for a medium discharge exists, the OSC shall follow the same general procedures as for a minor discharge. Addition- ally, the OSC shall make a recommendation concerning team activation to the Chairman of the RRT. 5) When a report indicates that a major discharge has occurred, that a potential major pollution emergency exists, or that a discharge or potential discharges which could arouse wide public concern has occurred, the OSC shall follow the same procedures as for minor and medium discharges. RRC and NRT shall, however, be notified immediately of the situation even if the initial report has not been confirmed. 503.3 POLREP communications with USCG Districts Two and Nine will be performed as outlined below: 1) Minor discharge - A POLREP report should be mailed to the appropriate USCG District Office. 2) Medium discharge - A POLREP report should be sent to the District Office by TWX or TELEX. If possibility exists that the spill might become a major one, this fact should be explained. 3) Major discharge - A telephone call should be made promptly to the District Office followed by TWX or TELEX POLREPS at appropriate intervals. TWX POLREPS on major discharges will also be sent to the CG Head- quarters in Washington. 504 Special Forces 504.1 The National Strike Force (NSF) shall be established consisting of personnel trained, prepared, and available to provide necessary services to carry out this Plan. This NSF shall be formed around the Strike Teams established by the U.S. Coast Guard on the East, West, and Gulf coasts, and including the Environmental Response Team (ERT) established by the EPA, when required. The NSF shall provide assistance to the OSC during Phase III, IV, and V operations as the circumstances of the situation dictate. When possible, the NSF will provide training to the Emergency Task Forces and participate with the Regional Response Team in Regional Contingency Plan development. 1) The Strike Teams established by the U.S. Coast Guard are able to provide communications support, advice and assistance for oil and hazardous substances removal. These teams include expertise in ship salvage, diving, and removal techniques and methodology. 23 ------- 2) The Environmental Response Team established by EPA to carry out the Agency's disaster and emergency responsi- bilities can provide the OSC and NSF with advice on the environmental effects of oil and hazardous substances discharges and removal and mitigation of the effects of such discharges. This team includes expertise in biology, chemistry, engineering and, when necessary, meteorology and oceanography. 3) The Emergency Task Forces established pursuant to section 311 (c)(2)(C) shall consist of trained personnel with adequate supplies of oil and hazardous pollution control equipment and materials and detailed discharge removal plans for their areas of responsibility. 4) The NSF and ERT will generally respond to requests for assistance from the OSC. Requests for the NSF may be made directly to the Commanding Officer of the appro- priate Strike Team, the Coast Guard member on the RRT, the appropriate Area Commander, USCG, or to the Commandant, USCG, through the NRC. 505 Nuclear Pollution 505.1 In the event of a nuclear pollution incident, the procedures of the Interagency Radiological Assistance Plan, implemented by the Regional Coordinating Office for Radiological Assistance, DOE, shall apply. 24 ------- Annex I 1.00 Distribution 1.01 Plan Distribution 1.01.1 This Plan will be distributed to designated offices of Primary and Advisory Agencies, State, and interstate water pollution control agencies and such other Federal, State, local, and private organizations which are cooperating with and partici- pating in activities in support of the Plan. 1.01.2 Included in this formal distribution are the following organizations: Environmental Protection Agency Region Region Region Region Region Region Region VIII Region IX Region I II III IV VI VII X Lexington, Massachusetts (Boston) New York, New York Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Atlanta, Georgia Dallas, Texas Kansas City, Missouri Denver, Colorado San Francisco, California Seattle, Washington Department of Transportation Second Coast Guard District, St. Louis, Missouri Coast Guard Captains of the Port St. Louis, Missouri Minneapolis/St. Paul Paducah, Kentucky Louisville, Kentucky Cincinnati, Huntington, Minnesota Ohio West Virainia Marine Safety Detachments Davenport, Iowa Peoria, Illinois Evansville, Indiana Marietta, Ohio 1-1 ------- Ninth Coast Guard District, Cleveland, Ohio Coast Guard Captains of the Port Chicago, Illinois Cleveland, Ohio Detroit, Michigan Duluth, Minnesota Milwaukee, Wisconsin Muskegon, Michigan Sault Ste.

There are a number of factors that must be taken into account when determining the severity including the reliability of the reporting source, the location, the quantity and type of material, and the proximity and nature of adjoining critical water use areas. Considering the degree of severity, the discharge should be classi- fied as either a minor, medium, or major discharge. This initial classification will be used to determine notification procedures until the degree of severity can be confirmed. 2.02 Notification Requirements 2.02.1 Initial notification would be accomplished by telephone or teletype message. Messages should be in the POLREP format. Normally the agencies receiving initial notification would receive subsequent POLREP1s pertaining to the case. 2.02.2 Minor spills The OSC should report all minor spills to the Regional Response Center or the Subregional Response Center as appropriate. This may be accomplished by a teletype report titled POLREP ONE AND FINAL. Transmittal of minor spill reports will be made on a periodic basis to the Oil and Special Materials Control Division Headquarters in Washington, D.C. If local government cleanup action is required, cognizant officials should be notified. 2.02.3 Medium spills The OSC should report all medium spills to the Regional Response Center and the Subregional Response Center. This should be accomplished as soon as practicable by teletype message or telephone. Transmittal of medium spills reports should be made on a continuing basis to the Oil and Special Materials Control Division Headquarters. Further notification will be accomplished by the EPA Regional Response Center as indicated by the situation. 2.02.4 Major spills The OSC should immediately report all major or potential major spills to the Regional Response Center and the Subregional Response Center. This should be accomplished imme- diately by telephone and verified by teletype message. The RRC should immediately notify the EPA Regional Administrator and the RRT. Transmittal of major spill reports should be made on a continuing basis to the Oil and Special Materials Control Division Headquarters by teletype message. II-l ------- 2.03 National Level Telephonic Notification 2.03.1 During working hours and after hours and on weekends and holidays the NRC can be notified by contacting the Duty Officer, U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters, Washington, D.C. on 800-424-8802. Telephone notification received by the NRC will be evaluated by the Coast Guard member of the NRT. Notification of the remainder of the NRT will be considered when appropriate. Message reports to the NRT will be addressed as indicated in Section 5.05.2. 2.04 Regional Response Team Notification 2.04.1 Telephonic notification of all reports of a major or poten- tial major spill and all pollution incidents received by the RRC will be evaluated by the EPA member of the RRT. Notification of the remainder of the RRT will be formally accomplished by the EPA member of the RRT if considered appropriate. However, individual agencies may elect to notify their respective RRT representatives through in-house communications channels upon learning of the details of the spill through the normal alerting procedures for the Region. Any member of the RRT may activate the RRT upon self-examination of the spill details. Members may elect to assemble at the RRC, the site of the spill or any other mutually agreeable location. Telephone contact numbers of the RRT are included in Annex III. 2.04.2 The RRT consists of representatives of the Primary Agencies and selected Advisory Agencies. For administrative purposes, the representative of the EPA will act as Chairman and the representa- tive of the Coast Guard will act as Executive Secretary. On spill incidents occurring in Coast Guard OSC territory, the RRT would be chaired by a Coast Guard representative; on incidents in EPA terri- tory, the RRT would be chaired by an EPA representative. Agency membership and access information are detailed in Annex III. Where an agency has more than one member listed on the RRT, the location and circumstances of a discharge will determine which member is activated. As appropriate, additional persons may be asked to work with the RRT in an advisory or consultative capacity. An RRT member should use, if appropriate, the advice and counsel of other persons from his own agency and other Federal, State, local, and private agencies. 2.04.3 The planning and preparedness functions of the team are outlined in Section 304.8. 2.04.4 Response functions would be performed anytime the team is activated. The degree of response and therefore the extent of the RRT activity would depend on the particular situation. Specific functions of the RRT are outlined in Section 304.9. 2.04.5 The RRC is the Regional Headquarters site for activities relative to pollution control emergency situations. The RRT is located at the Environmental Protection Agency Region V Office, John C. Kluczynski Building, 230 S. Dearborn Street, Chicago, IL 60604. 11-2 ------- GENERAL ALERTING PROCEDURE DISCOVERY AND NOTIFICATION COAST GUARD WASHINGTON H Q 800-424-8802 COAST GUARD CAPTAIN OF THE PORT DISTRICT COMMUNICATIONS CENTER ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY DISTRICT OFFICE Immediate Water Users State Water Pollution Control Boards Other State Departments Public Health Public Water Supplies Industrial Water Users Communities EPA REGIONAL OFFICE Corps of Engineers District Office Department of Interior Fish and Wildlife Service Department of Commerce National Weather Service, NOAA Canadian Pollution Control Agencies Advisory Agencies Department of Justice Department of State Department of Health, Education, and Welfare Department of Energy Federal Disaster Assisstance Administration II-3 ------- 2.04.6 The RRC will provide communications facilities, access to charts, technical publications, computer storage and retrieval, and other necessary physical facilities. 2.05 Coordinated Response 2.05.1 For spill incidents which exceed the capabilities of the region or transect the regional boundaries, communications will be established and maintained with the National Response Center (NRC) and appropriate RRC of the region which may be affected by an incident in Region V. The 24-hour contact phone numbers of the NRC and RRC's bordering Region V are included in Annex III. 2.06 General Alerting Procedure 2.06.1 The pre-designated OSC's will be notified through the general alerting procedure for Region V. This procedure is graphically illustrated on page II-3. All spills should be immediately reported to the U.S. Coast Guard (either the appro- priate Captain of the Port or District Communication Centers in St. Louis or Cleveland). If the District Communication Center is called first, the Center will notify the appropriate COTP. The Coast Guard COTP will notify immediate water users in the probable path of the pollutant and the appropriate EPA Office. Since the EPA District, Corps District, and Coast Guard COTP offices are pre-designated OSC's for specific aquatic areas of the region, these offices will notify their respective pre-designated OSC's upon notification through the general alerting procedure. Additionally, the EPA District Office will notify the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, pre-designated OSC in the event that a spill is a potential threat to a wildlife refuge. The Advisory Agencies will be notified as necessary. 2.06.2 The EPA District Office will alert the State and, where appropriate, the Canadian pollution control agency, the EPA Regional Office and, if warranted, appropriate Federal agencies such as the National Weather Service. State water pollution control agencies will notify other appropriate State departments, such as Public Health, so that public water supply installations, known industrial water users, and local communities will be made aware of the situation. State field offices will be notified for on-site investigations. 2.06.3 The Corps of Engineers District Offices should notify lock and dam personnel, if appropriate, of the pollution incident. Observations by these people may be helpful in spotting and tracing the location of pollutants as they move downstream. The Division Office should also be notified. II-4 ------- 2.07 Alerting System Telephone Contacts 2.07.1 A telephone alert system, which is operational on a 24-hour basis, has been established to notify officials of various agencies in the event of a spill in Region V. Efforts to contact each agency noted in the plan will be continued until contact is established. 2.08 Pollution Report Requirements 2.08.1 Timely information on a spill including the situation and response activities is essential to the proper evaluation of the case. This information should be submitted in the POLREP format. The POLREP format is contained in Annex V, section 5.06. 2.08.2 Minor spills would normally be reported by the OSC in POLREP ONE AND FINAL. See section 2.02.2. 2.08.3 The OSC should submit timely POLREP's to the RRC and SRC on all moderate and major spills. The RRC or SRC is responsible for keeping the RRT advised. The RRT shall submit timely POLREP1s to the NRT on major spills. This may be accomplished by double heading the OSC's POLREP's or by originating POLREP's by the RRT or a member of the team. 2.09 Administrati ve Report Requirements 2.09.1 At the conclusion of Federal activity resulting from a pollution incident, any OSC involved will, pursuant to applicable instructions of his own agency, submit an administrative report of the incident and the actions taken. Copies will be furnished to the NRT or RRT, as appropriate, together with any other infor- mation available to the forwarding group. The NRT will then evaluate each incident and will make appropriate recommendations. 2.09.2 In addition to the report required for pollution incidents, any spill which indicates a need for amendment to the plans, introduces new control techniques, or is otherwise of widespread interest should be documented and reported to the RRT and/or NRT as appropriate. 2.09.3 The primary purpose of these reports it the evaluation of control techniques and Federal response activities. Lengthy narrative not required for an understanding of the problems or recommendations need not be included. Sufficient descriptive information should however be included to permit full evaluation of the report.

The inland regional area includes all the land territory of the six States of Region V including their inland lakes and rivers, and is the area to which this plan addresses itself. The coastal regional area consists of the open waters of the Great Lakes including Lake St. Clair, the interconnecting rivers, major bays, ports and har- bors, and the tributary rivers to the limits of their navigability by large bulk carriers. The coastal regional area of Region V is described in more detail in the contingency plan developed by the Ninth Coast Guard District. State and local governmental agencies and private organizations are encouraged to develop contingency plans for their specific areas within the inland territory of Region V. Local contingency plans are encouraged to be developed by State, local governmental and/or private organizations for specific local areas within the inland area of Region V. These local plans would be connected to the alerting network of this plan. A list of non-federal plans are included in Annex XI. 4.02 EPA Boundaries Region V of the Environmental Protection Agency consists of the States of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wiscon- sin. Region V has a Regional Office in Chicago, three District Offices located in Chicago, Cleveland, and Minneapolis, and Response Units in Detroit and Evansville. Region boundaries and District Office boundaries are included in this annex. 4.03 Department of Transportation Boundaries The U.S. Coast Guard has portions of two Districts in the Environ- mental Protection Agency, Region V.

As this is the coastal regional area of Region V, a more detailed description of the OSC areas of responsibility is included in the Contingency Plan which has been developed by the Ninth Coast Guard District. The District Nine areas of OSC responsi- bility have been defined either in the Coast Guard's Chicago Coastal Region Plan or in various CG-EPA agreements developed from time to time. These areas are described in the text which follows. Within EPA Central District Office Area The Central District Office has an agreement, reached on November 12, 1970, with the USCG Chicago COTP, District Nine, which underscores the Coast Guard responsibility on Lake Michigan from the Wisconsin- Illinois state line to just west of Michigan City Indiana (87° west). Inland bodies of water tributary to Lake Michigan, were included in the Coast Guard area of responsibility as follows: Burns Harbor From the entrance south to the south end of the deep draft slip. Burns Waterway cannot be navigated by large bulk carriers and therefore is considered to be the responsibility of the Environmental Protection Agency. Gary Harbor The entire harbor. Buffington Harbor The entire harbor. Indiana Harbor and Indiana Harbor Canal From the harbor south along the Indiana Harbor Canal until it branches into the Lake George Branch and the Calumet River Branch. A) Lake George Branch From "The Forks" west to the Baltimore & Ohio Chicago Terminal Railroad bridge at mile 2.94.

V-5 ------- Annex VI 6.00 PUBLIC INFORMATION 6.01 Introduction 6.01.1 When a major regional 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. 6.02 Regional News Office 6.02.1 When an RRT is activated, 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 Office of Public and Intergovernmental Affairs for appropriate professional and clerical assistance will be met by one or more of the primary agencies. 6.02.2 The Director of the Regional Office of Public and Inter- governmental Affairs will follow the procedures outlined in Annex VI of the National Plan 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. 6.02.3 All news releases involving major policy considerations will be cleared by the Chairman of the RRT or in his absence, the Executive Secretary. 6.02.4 The Director of the Regional Office of Public and Inter- governmental Affairs 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. 6.02.5 The Regional Office of Public and Intergovernmental Affairs will be provided with adequate space, telephones, type- writers, 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. VI-1 ------- 6.03 Washington, D.C. Public Information Contact 6.03.1 If the NRT has not been activated, the Director of the Regional Office of Public and Intergovernmental Affairs will ask the most appropriate 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. 6.04 Interim Public Information Director 6.04.1 In the period following a discharge and before the need for a Federal response is determined, information activities will be directed by the public information personnel of the same Primary Agency which will provide the predesignated OSC. These activities will be conducted in accordance with the information policies of that agency. 6.05 Special Public Information Procedures for Senators, Repre- sentatives, Congressional Aides and staff members, White House Representatives and other VIP's 6.05.1 The Director of the National News Office of 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. 6.06 Special Public Information Procedures for Salesmen 6.06.1 Public information officers assigned to pollution incidents will refer salesmen to technical personnel designated to evaluate their wares. 6.07 Special Public Information Procedures for the General Public 6.07.1 In responding to queries from the general public, public information officers will advise the callers or arrange to have the callers advised on what the latest press release has reported. 6.08 Special Public Information Procedures- Correspondence 6.08.1 After the crisis has subsided, a model letter reporting on the situation will be drafted by the public information personnel assigned to the problem. After the model letter has been approved by the Chairman of the NRT or the RRT, copies will be sent to the Primary Agencies for their guidance in responding to mail inquiries. VI-2 ------- Annex VIII 8.00 DOCUMENTATION AND COST RECOVERY 8.01 Introduction 8.01.1 The OSC in charge at the scene of a discharge may be from any one of several agencies; it is necessary, therefore, to establish uniform procedures for notification of counsel, col- lection 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 spill for the purpose of later use in identifying the party responsible for removal cost recovery. Time is of great importance since wind, tide, and current may dis- perse or remove the evidence and witnesses may no longer be avail- able. Thus, during the response phases, the OSC must take the necessary action to ensure that information, records, and samples adequate for legal and research purposes are obtained and safe- guarded for future use. Additional guidance can be found in EPA's "Field Detection and Damage Assessment Handbook." 8.02 Notification of Counsel 8.02.1 Immediately upon notification that a discharge has occurred which requires RRT participation, the RRT members shall notify their respective regional attorneys by the most expeditious means. 8.02.2 Coordination of appropriate counsel will be effected by counsel of the Department responsible for furnishing the OSC. Coordination will be for joint and several actions concerning legal matters regarding the operation of the Plan and for advising the owner or operator that a determination has been made under subsection 311 (c)(l) of the Act that removal is not being properly accomplished. 8.02.3 The information and reports obtained by the OSC are to be transmitted to the RRC. Copies will then be forwarded to members of the RRT, and others, as appropriate. The representa- tive of the Agency on the RRT havnng cost recovery authority will then refer copies of the pollution reports to his respective agency counsel. 8.03 Legal Notice to Suspected Discharger 8.03.1 The owner, operator, or other appropriate responsible person shall be notified of Federal interest and potential action in a pollution discharge by the agency furnishing the OSC. This notice shall include advice of the owner or operator's liability for proper removal of the discharge in accordance with section 311 (f) of the Act; the need to perform removal in accordance with existing VIII-1 ------- Federal and State statutes and regulations, and this Plan; and . identification of the OSC. f 8.04 Sample Collection Procedures to be Followed by OSC 8.04.1 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. 8.04.2 In taking such samples, the following procedures are to be followed in all cases: 8.04.2-1 Glass or other appropriate containers of suitable size shall be used. The portion of the closure (sealing gasket or cap liner) which may come into contact with the sample in the con- tainer is of considerable importance. When oil or petroleum hydrocarbons are to be sampled, the closure should be made of glass, aluminum 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. 8.04.2-2 Previously unused containers are preferred. Containers that have been cleaned with a strong detergent, thoroughly rinsed, and dried may be used. 8.04.2-3 Some explanatory notes covering the above procedures are as follows: a) glass containers always must be used because plastic 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 pollu- tion condition to change rapidly, samples should be taken promptly, and the time sequences and places noted. Samples must be properly labeled. 8.04.2-4 Consult with the analysis laboratory personnel relative to special samples and unusual problems. 8.04.2-5 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 in the regional plan. Reports of lab- oratory analysis will be forwarded to the appropriate RRT for transmittal to counsel. VIII-2 ------- 8.05 Photographic records 8.05.1 Photographs should be taken to show the source and the extent of pollution, if possible, using both color and black and white film. 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. 8.06 Chain 'of Custody Record 8.06.1 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 person taking the sample, and each person handling same thereafter must be maintained and forwarded with the sample. Form No. FWPCA 208 (7-68) may be used. For major spills, samples may be forwarded to the Central Regional Laboratory, EPA Region V, 1819 W. Pershing Road, Chicago, Illinois 60609 for analysis. 8.07 Spill Pollution Report 8.07.1 The appropriate information for each pollution spill should be obtained by the OSC and reported in the appropriate format established by the Division of Oil and Special Materials Control, Washington, D.C. Statements of witnesses, photographs, analyses of samples and related documentation will be retained by the OSC for possible use in enforcement actions. In all major spills, the pollution incident report should be completed and forwarded to the RRT Chairman. VIII-3 ------- Annex IX 9.00 FUNDING 9.01 General 9.01.1 The primary thrust of this Plan is to encourage the person responsible for a spill to take appropriate remedial actions promptly. Usually this will mean that the cost of containment, countermeasures and cleanup of spills should be borne by the person responsible for the discharge. The OSC and other officials associated with the handling of a spill should make a substantial effort to have the responsible person accept voluntarily this responsibility. 9.01.2 If the discharger does not voluntarily act promptly to remove the discharge of oil or hazardous substances, Federal discharge removal actions may be initiated pursuant to section 311 (c)(l) of the Act. The discharger, if known, is liable for the reasonable costs of such Federal removal actions in accordance with section 311 (f) of the Act. 9.01.3 Actions undertaken by the Primary Agencies in response to pollution emergencies shall be carried out under existing programs and authorities insofar as practicable. 9.01.4 It is not envisioned that any Federal agency will make resources available, expend funds or participate in operations in connection with pollution emergency operations unless such agency can so respond in conformance with its existing authority. Authority to expend resources will be in accordance with agencies' basic statutes and, if required, through cross-servicing agreements. 9.01.5 This Plan encourages 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. 9.02 Funding Res pons i b i1ity 9.02.1 The funding of removal actions necessitated by a discharge from a Federally operated or supervised facility is the responsiblity of the operating or supervising agency. 9.02.2 Funding of response actions not associated with the removal activity, such as scientific investigations, law enforcement, or public relations is the responsibility of the agency having statutory or executive responsibility for those specific actions. IX-1 ------- 9.03 Agency Funding 9.03.1 The Environmental Protection Agency can provide funds to insure timely initiation of discharge removal actions in those instances where the OSC is an EPA representative. Funding of continuing Phase III and IV actions, however, shall be determined on a case-by-case basis by the Division of Oil and Special Materials Control at EPA. Inasmuch as EPA does not have funds provided for this purpose by statute or regulation, initiation of Phase III and IV activities is funded out of operating program funds. 9.03.2 The U.S. Coast Guard pollution control efforts are funded under "Operating Expenses." These funds are utilized in accordance with agency directives and applicable regional plans. 9.03.3 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 conditions.) 9.03.1-1 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. 9.03.1-2 The U.S. Navy has funds available on a reimbursable basis to conduct salvage operations. 9.04 Disaster Relief Funds 4 9.04.1 Certain pollution control emergency response activities may qualify for reimbursement as disaster relief functions. In making a declaration of a "major disaster" for a stricken area, the President may allocate funds from his Disaster Relief Fund, administered by the Administrator, Federal Disaster Assistance Administration. After the President has declared a "major disaster or emergency" and authorized allocation of funds, the Administrator may authorize certain reim- bursement to Federal agencies for disaster assistance provided under direction of his office. Applicable policies and procedures are stated in Title 24 Chapter XIII, Part 2201, "Reimbursement of Other Federal Agencies" under P.L. 91-606 (for use under P.L. 93-288 until revised). 9.04.2 The Administrator, FDAA, may also make financial assistance available to State governments and through the States to local govern- ments in accordance with policies and procedures stated in Title 24, Chapter XIII, Part 2205, "Federal Disaster Assistance". 9.05 Pollution Revolving Fund 9.05.1 A pollution revolving fund, administered by the Commandant, USCG, has been established pursuant to subsection (k) of Section 311 of the Act. Regulations governing the administration and use of the fund are contained in 33 CFR 153. IX-2 ------- 9.05.2 Pursuant to section 311(c)(2)(H) of Public Law 92-500, the State or States affected by a discharge of oil or hazardous substance may act where necessary to remove such discharge and may, pursuant to regulations which the Commandant, USCG, may prescribe, be reimbursed from the fund for the reasonable costs incurred in such removal. 9.05.2-1 Removal by a State is necessary when the OSC determines that the owner or operator of the vessel, onshore facility, or offshore facil- ity from which the discharge occurs does not effect removal properly and that: 9.05.2-1.1 State action is required to minimize or mitigate significant damage to the public health or welfare which Federal action cannot minimize or mitigate, or 9.05.2-1.2 Removal or partial removal can be effected by the State at a cost which is not significantly greater than the cost which would be incurred by the Federal departments or agencies. 9.05.2-2 Notwithstanding the above, State removal actions are not necessary if not in compliance with Annex X of this Plan. 9.05.2-3 State removal operations are considered to be Response Phase III or Response Phase IV actions to the extent that the same operations undertaken by a Federal agency would be so considered. 9.05.2-4 When supervised by the State agency designated pursuant to Part 203.1 of this Plan, removal operations of a local government are considered to be actions of the State for purposes of this section. 9.06 Obligation of Funds 9.06.1 Care must be exercised to ensure that misunderstandings do not develop about reimbursement of funds expended for removal 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 committing resources necessitating reimbursement. 9.06.2 The criteria to be met before funds will be authorized include: a) A discharge into or upon navigable waters or adjoining shorelines. The On-Scene Coordinator should not automatically assume that a water is navigable without consulting the Coast Guard. b) The party responsible for the spill is unknown or does not take appropriate remedial action. IX-3 ------- 9.06.3 If these criteria are met, the OSC may estimate the needed funds and request a project number and revolving fund authorization from the Coast Guard District Comptroller. 9.06.3-1 In an emergency situation and pending receipt of a specific ™ project number and amount of authorized commitment, the OSC may make informal commitments of up to $20,000 for an individual discharge. In this case, the Coast Guard District Comptroller should be informed within 24 hours of the total informed commitments. 9.06.4 After receipt of the project number and amount of authorized commitment, the Coast Guard District Comptroller should be advised as soon as is practicable when cleanup is completed and provided with information and a cost estimate. Within 60 days after the cleanup, an itemized list of reimbursable costs and an itemized list of cost recoverable from the responsible party should be submitted. 9.06.5 OSC shall exert adequate control of removal operations so that he can certify that reimbursement from the fund is appropriate. 9.06.6 Detailed instructions on utilization of the fund are contained in the USCG Comptroller Manual. 9.06.7 By agreement with the USCG Second and Ninth Districts in cases where the EPA undertakes removal operations because the discharger is unknown, unwilling, or unable to take such action, the EPA office providing the OSC may forward its removal invoices directly to the USCG District Office for payment. It is understood that the EPA OSC will first communicate with the proper USCG District Office to briefly describe the removal effort contemplated and to receive a project f number for cost charging purposes. The OSC may initially obligate ^ amounts up to maximums established separately by USCG Second and Ninth Districts and communicated to the USEPA Region V. In no case shall this amount be exceeded without the approval of the appropriate USCG District Comptroller. Where removal operations are likely to exceed 24 hours duration, or the maximum established amount, the USCG District Con- tracting Officer may arrive at the scene of the discharge to arrange for contracting services. 9.06.8 By agreement with the USCG Second and Ninth Districts in case where the State undertakes removal operations because the discharger is unknown, unwilling, or unable to take such action, the State may forward its removal invoices for review to the EPA office which pro- vided the,OSC. Following the review to determine whether the work was done according to specifications, the EPA office will forward the invoices to the USCG District Office for reimbursement to the State. State liaison functions relative to removal operations'are detailed in Part 203.1 of this Plan. 9.06.9 Removal operations by a State must be approved by the designated Federal OSC. The Federal OSC must be consulted regarding the discharge and agreement must be reached before starting work reimbursable from the Pollution Revolving Fund. The EPA OSC has the option of inspecting removal work in progress for conformance with the planned action and to determine that removal costs do not exceed Federal removal costs before approval of payment for the work is made. IX-4 ------- 9.07 Planning 9.07.1 The availability of funds and requirements for the reimburse- ment of expenditures by certain agencies must be included in resource utilization planning. Subregional contingency plans should show what resources are available under what conditions and cost arrangements. 9.07.2 Local interagency agreements may be necessary to specify when reimbursement is required. 9.08 Basic Ordering Agreement 9.08.1 Immediate response environmental surveys can be performed by a number of engineering firms in the Region whose qualifications have been established earlier by the EPA Regional and Washington Headquarters offices. This contractual support of EPA capabilities can provide analyses and predictions of damage effects. The specific services may include determinations of sources, causes, effects, movement, and dis- persion of oil and hazardous substances spilled into inland waters. 9.08.2 Orders for work under this agreement may be initiated verbally but only by the following individuals in the Division of Oil and Special Materials Control Office, Washington, DC: Russel H. Wyer 202-245-3048 Henry D. VanCleave 202-245-3045 IX-5 ------- Annex X 10.00 SCHEDULE OF CHEMICAL AGENTS 10.01 General 10.01.1 This schedule shall apply to the waters of the United States and adjoining shorelines, and the waters of the contiguous zone. 10.01.2 This schedule applies to the use of any chemicals as herein- after defined that may be used to remove oil and remove or neutralize hazardous substances discharges. Any chemical agent or other substance not specifically defined in this schedule will be considered by EPA on a case by case basis for use in the removal of oil and hazardous sub- stances discharges. 10.01.3 This schedule advocates development and utilization of sorbents, skimmers, booms, and other mechanical control methods to remove or mitigate oil and remove, mitigate, or neutralize hazardous substances discharges from the environment with subsequent proper disposal. 10.01.4 It is the intent of this schedule that no harmful quantities of any substance be applied to the waters to remove or neutralize the effects cf oil or hazardous substances discharges. 10.01.5 In implementing this schedule and in maintaining its relation- ship with other Federal and State agencies, EPA shall recognize that some States may have more stringent laws, regulations or written policies regulating the use of chemicals in the removal of oil and hazardous substance discharges, in which case such laws, regulations or policies shall govern. 10.01.6 It has been determined that because of the overriding need for prompt initiation of discharge removal actions, no formal permit as provided for by section 402 of the Act, shall be required before appli- cation of chemicals to mitigate the effects of a discharge. The provisions of Part 201.7 of this Plan shall apply. 10.02 Definitions. Mechanical removal methods generally include the use of pumps, skimmers, booms, earthmoving equipment, and other mechanical devices. Materials applied to oil or floating hazardous substances discharges to achieve an essentially non-mechanical removal of these substances are defined as follows: 10.02.1 Chemical Agents are those elements, compounds, or mixtures that disperse, dissolve, emulsify, neutralize, precipitate, reduce, solubilize, oxidize, concentrate, congeal, entrap, fix, gell, make the pollutant mass more rigid or viscous, or otherwise facilitate the mitigation of deleterious effects or removal of the pollutant from the water. X-l ------- 10.02.2 Dispersing Agents are those chemical agents 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. 10.02.3 Surface Collecting Agents are those chemical agents which are a surface film forming chemical for controlling oil layer thickness. 10.02.4 Biological Agents are microbiological cultures, enzymes, or nutrient additives that are deliberately introduced into an oil or hazardous substance spill for the specific purpose of encouraging biodegradation to mitigate the effects of a spill. 10.02.5 Burning Agents are those materials which, through physical or chemical means, improve the combustibility of the materials to which they are applied. 10.02.6 Sinking Agents are those materials which are applied to oil and hazardous substance spills to sink floating pollutants below the water surface. 10.02.7 Sorbents are essentially inert and insoluble materials which are used to remove oil and hazardous substances from water through a variety of sorption mechanisms. Examples include: straw, expanded perlite, polyurethane foams, reclaimed paper fibers, peat moss. 10.03 Dispersing agent program for spills of oil and applicable hazardous substances. 10.03.1 Authorization for use of dispersing agents. For major and medium discharges, dispersing agents may be used in any place, at any time, and in quantities designated by the OSC when their use will: 10.03.1-1 In the judgment of the OSC, prevent or substantially reduce hazard to human life or limb or substantially reduce explosion or fire hazard to property; 10.03.1-2 In the judgment of the EPA RRT member on a case by case basis, in consultation with appropriate State or Federal agencies, prevent or reduce substantial hazard to a major segment of the population(s) of vulnerable species of waterfowl; or 10.03.1-3 In the judgment of the EPA RRT member on a case by case basis, in consultation, whenever possible, with appropriate State and Federal agencies, result in the least overall environmental damage, or interference with designated water uses. X-2 ------- 10.03.2 For minor discharges, the provisions of section 10.03.1-1 shall apply. 10.03.3 Special restrictions on dispersing agent use as described in the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan shall apply. 10.04 Surface collecting agent program for spills of oil and applicable hazardous substances. 10.04.1 Authorization for use of surface collecting agents: major, medium,_and^mi nor di scharges. The OSC may authorize use of surface collecting agents on a case by case basis when their use will: 10.04.1-1 Result in the least overall environmental damage or interference with designated water uses and 10.04.1-2 Provide a key element in the most effective system for removing oil or hazardous substances discharges from the water environment. 10.04.2 Mechanism for authorizing use. The OSC may authorize the use of a surface collecting agent verbally when on scene or by telephone prior to arriving on scene. In all cases, the OSC is obligated to comply with the provisions of 10.04.3 prior to making such authoriza- tion. A review of the capabilities and expertise of the owner or operator or cleanup contractor prior to the occurrence of the spill incident would be most beneficial in situations where telephone authorization is desired or contemplated. 10.04.3 Restrictions on surface collecting agent use as described in the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan shall apply. 10.05 Biological additive program for spills of oil and applicable hazardous substances. 10.05.1 Authorization for use of biological agents. All discharges: 10.05.1-1 The OSC may authorize the use of biological additives on water or shorelines only after obtaining the approval of the EPA representative to the RRT. The EPA RRT representative is required to consult with the EPA representative to the NRT on the environmental priorities of the subject incident. The manufacturer or supplier of microbiological cultures or enzymes must obtain approval from State and local public health and pollution control officials and furnish evidence of such approval to the EPA RRT representative. 10.05.2 Special restrictions on biological additive use as described in the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan shall apply. X-3 ------- 10.06 Burning agent program for spills of oil and applicable hazardous substances. J 10.06.1 Authorization for use of biological agents. All discharges: 10.06.1-1 The OSC may authorize the use of burning agents only when their use will prevent or substantially reduce imminent threats to human life or limb or property; or 10.06.1-2 Will result in the least environmental harm when compared to other removal or disposal methods. 10.06.1-3 Prior to authorizing use, the OSC must obtain the approval of the EPA RRT representative and all applicable State and local public health and pollution control officials. 10.06.2 Speical restrictions on burning agent use as described in the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan shall apply. 10.07 Sinking agent program for spills of oil and applicable hazardous substances. 10.07.1 Authorization for use of sinking agents. All discharges: 10.07.1-1 Sinking agents shall not be applied to discharges of oil or hazardous substances on the navigable waters of the United States and contiguous zone. 10.08 Mechanical methods and sorbents program for spills of oil and hazardous substances. 10.08.1 Authorization for use of mechanical methods and sorbents. All discharges: 10.08.1-1 As stated in 10.01.3, it is the policy of this schedule to advocate the use of mechanical methods and sorbents for removal of oil and hazardous substances spills. The OSC has the authority to use or prohibit specific mechanical methods and sorbents on a case by case basis. The OSC will select methods and materials that, in his judgment, will be most effective in expeditiously removing the spilled material and mitigating the related damages, and will minimize secondary pollution from the removal or mitigation opera- tion. Prior to authorizing the use of sorbents, the OSC shall take into consideration hydrographic and meteorological conditions as well as the characteristics of the sorbent and the availability of adequate containment and removal equipment. X-4 ------- 10.09 Qualified acceptance by Division of Oil and Special Materials Control of pollution control agentsT 10.09.1 Biological additives. Commercial designation: 10.09.1-1 NOSCUM. The technical product data submission on the said biological additive, manufactured by the Natural Hydrocarbon Elimination Company, Houston, Texas, has been accepted by the Environmental Protection Agency. The furnished product data were reviewed and are in compliance (16 SEP 1976) with the requirements for biological additives as prescribed in Paragraph 2005.3-4 of Annex X of the National Oil and Hazardous Sub- stances Pollution Contingency Plan. In accordance with Annex X, the technical product data will be maintained on file, and the OSC may authorize the use of biological additives on water and shorelines only after obtaining approval through proper channels specified in the plan. Acceptance of technical product data by the Environmental Protection Agency does not constitute approval of the biological additive or imply compliance with any criteria or minimum standards for such agents.

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 identification 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. 15.03.14 DEMULSIBILITY: The resistance of an oil to emulsification, or the ability of an oil to separate from any water with which it is mixed.

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 standard term. 15.03.21 INNAGE: Space occupied in a product container. ^j 15.03.22 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 defendant. 15.03.23 IN REM: An action "in rem" is one in which the vessel or thing itself is treated as offender and made defendant without any proceeding against the owners or even mentioning their names. The decree in an action in rem is enforced directly against the res by a condemnation and sale thereof. 15.03.24 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 discharged while the freshly-cleaned tanks are filled with seawater. Ballast is thus constantly maintained. XV-4 ------- 15.03.25 OIL FILMS: A slick thinner than .0001 inch and may be classified as follows: standard term "barely visible" "silvery" "slightly colored" "brightly colored" "dull" "dark" gallons of oil per square mile 25 50 100 200 666 1332 appearance barely visible under most favorable light conditions visible as a silvery sheen on surface water first trace of color may be observed bright bands of color are visible colors begin to turn dull brown 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. 15.03.26 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. 15.03.27 pH: 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. 15.03.28 POUR POINT: The lowest temperature at which an oil will flow or can be poured under specified conditions of test. 15.03.29 RESIDUAL OIL: A general term used to indicate a heavy viscous fuel oil. 15.03.30 SCUPPERS: Openings around the deck of a vessel which allow water falling onto the deck to flow overboard.

The one commonly implied is gross tonnage although in these days tankers and other bulk-carriers are often referred to in terms of deadweight. 15.03.35-1 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 may vary somewhat according to the classifying authority or nationality. 15.03.35-2 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. 15.03.35-3 DISPLACEMENT TONNAGE: The actual weight in tons, varying according to whether a vessel is in light or loaded condition. Warships are always spoken of by this form of measurement. 15.03.35-4 DEADWEIGHT TONNAGE: The actual weight in tons of cargo, stores, etc. required to bring a vessel down to her load line, from the light condition. Cargo deadweight is, as its name implies, the actual weight in tons of the cargo when loaded, as distinct from stores, ballast, etc. 15.03.36 ULLAGE: The amount by which a tank or vessel lacks being filled. (See also OUTAGE) 15.03.37 VISCOSITY: The property of liquids which causes them to resist instantaneous change of shape, or instantaneous rearrangement 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. 15.03.38 VISCOUS: Thick, resistant to flow, having a high viscosity. 15.03.39 VOLATILE: Evaporates easily.
