-------
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.

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.

Annex II
2.00 NOTIFICATION
2.01 General
2.01.1 The requirements for notification and reporting of spillage
are dependent on the degree of severity of the occurrence. 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.

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.

Annex IV
4.00 GEOGRAPHIC BOUNDARIES
4.01 Regional Areas
Region V has been divided into two operational areas, inland and
coastal, corresponding to the areas in which the Environmental
Protection Agency and the Department of Transportation are respec-
tively responsible for providing On Scene Coordinators. 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. The major portion of Region V
is in the Ninth District, headquartered in Cleveland. The Second
District, headquartered in St. Louis, covers the remaining portion
of Region V and includes most of the Upper Mississippi River and
Ohio River basins. Captain of the Port and District boundaries
are included in this annex.
IV-1
-------
4.04 Department of Defense Boundaries
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has portions of three Divisions within
the boundaries of EPA, Region V. The Great Lakes portion of the Region
is in the North Central Division, headquartered in Chicago. The southern
portion is in the Ohio River Division and a small portion is in the
St. Louis District, Lower Mississippi Valley Division. Division and
District boundaries are included in this annex.
4.05 Department of Interior Boundaries
The Fish and Wildlife Service in Region 3, also known as the North
Central Region, covers all of the EPA Region V area. Graphical
regional boundary descriptions are included in this annex.
4.06 Department of Commerce Boundaries
Under the Department of Commerce, NOAA, The National Weather Service
Central Region, headquartered in Kansas City, MO, covers all the States
of EPA Region V except Ohio. The State of Ohio is covered by the NWS
Eastern Region, headquartered in Garden City, NY. The Eastern Region
prefers that for situations involving the State of Ohio direct calls
be made to the Cleveland Weather Service Forecast Office.
4.07 Federal Disaster Assistance Administration Boundaries
FDAA regional boundaries correspond to those of the EPA nationally
since both agencies are organized under the Standard Federal Region
system.
4.08 Second Coast Guard District OSC Boundaries
The Coast Guard Second District, is predesignated to provide the OSC
on the following rivers, including a ten-mile band on each side of the
river if the river is entirely within Region V or a ten-mile band on
one side of the river where only that side is within Region V:
Upper Mississippi River, Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN to Cairo, IL
St. Croix River, mouth to mile 25
Illinois River, mouth to Lacon, IL
Kaskaskia River, mouth to New Athens, IL
Ohio River, Ohio-Pennsylvania boundary, mile 40.1, to Cairo, IL
mile 981.2.
Muskingum River, mouth to Zanesville, OH, mile 75.
The Coast Guard Second District is predesignated further to provide
the OSC within Region V inside of a
a) 25 mile band around cities accommodating Marine Safety
Offices:
St. Louis, MO
Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN
Paducah, KY
Louisville, KY
Cincinnati, OH

4.09 Ninth Coast Guard District OSC Boundaries
The U.S. Coast Guard 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 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.
B) Calumet River Branch
From "The Forks" south to the 141st Street (Columbus

From "The Forks", mile 1.58, north to the Addison Street
bridge mile 331.5 (7.78 by Great Lakes Rules).
B) South Branch Chicago River
From "The Forks^mile 1.58 south, including the South
Fork, mile 5.4 (Great Lakes Rules), mile 321.4 (Western
Rivers), to mile 321 where it joins the Chicago Sanitary
and Ship Canal.
Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal
From mile 321 south to junction with the Des Plaines River,
mile 291, at the Lockport Lock.

is not immediately apparent, the Chicago COTP will assume this
responsibility until such time as the Department of Transportation
and the Environmental Protection Agency reach an agreement.
IV-4
-------

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Annex XI
11.00 NON-FEDERAL INTERESTS
11.01 General Policy
11.01.1 The policy of the Federal government is to initiate discharge
removal operations when required and action is not being taken by the
discharger or other private or public organization.
11.02 Planning and Preparedness
11.02.1 The planning and preparedness functions incorporated in regional
contingency plans also apply to non-Federal resources. The State and
local governments and private interests are to be encouraged to
participate in Regional planning and preparedness functions.
11.02.2 State and local government agencies are encouraged to include
contingency planning for discharge removal in existing and future
emergency and disaster planning activities. States are invited to
provide observers to the planning activities of the appropriate RRT.
See part 304.3 of this Plan.
11.03 Pollution Emergency Response Operations
11.03.1 State agencies may be reimbursed from the fund established by
section 311 (k) of the Act for reasonable costs incurred in the
removal of oil and hazardous substances discharges from the waters
and shorelines of the United States. The procedures to be followed
are detailed in Part 9.05, Annex IX of this Plan.
11.03.2 Coordination should be arranged with local government organi-
zations such as county and city or town governments. This is
especially important for purposes of traffic control, land access and
disposal of pollutants removed in response operations.
11.04 Volunteers
11.04.1 Volunteers desiring to assist in the response effort shall
be directed to the OSC for the purpose of utilizing their efforts
in accordance with established Federal regulations and policies.
Normally they should not be used for physical removal of pollutants.
Specifically, if a substance is toxic to humans, volunteers should
not be permitted at on-scene operations.
11.04.2 Information for and education of volunteer personnel on
general contingency operations and procedures as well as specific
details of the discharge is mandatory if response efforts are to be
effective and conclusive.

15.03.13 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
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 better the demulsibility rating, the more quickly the oil separates
from water.
XV-3
-------
15.03.15 DENSITY: Density is the term meaning the mass of a unit
volume. Its numerical expression varies with the units selected. J
15.03.16 EMULSION: A mechanical mexture 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. Qil-in-water emulsions
have water as the external phase and the internal phase is oil.
15.03.17 FIRE POINT: The lowest temperature at which an oil vaporizes
rapidly enough to burn for at least 5 seconds after ignition, under
standard conditions.
15.03.18 FLASH POINT: The lowest temperature at which an oil gives
off sufficient vapor to form a mixture which will ignite, under standard
conditions.
15.03.19 FRACTION: Refinery term for a product of fractional distilla-
tion having a restricted boiling range.
15.03.20 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 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.

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. Should be plugged
during fuel transfer.
15.03.31 SLUDGE OIL: Muddy impurities and acid which have settled
from a mineral oil.
15.03.32 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 distilled water at a stated temperature.
XV-5
-------
15.03.33 SPONTANEOUS IGNITION TEMPERATURE: (S.I.T.): The temperature
at which an oil ignites of its own accord in the presence of air oxygen
under standard conditions.
15.03.34 STOKE: The unit of kinematic viscosity.
15.03.35 TONNAGE: 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.
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.
