100 INTRODUCTION
101 Authority
101.1 This Regional Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution
Contingency Plan has been developed in compliance with the Federal
Water Pollution Control Act, as amended, (33 U.S.C. 1251, et seq.).
Operation of the National Contingency Plan requires a nationwide
net of regional contingency plans. This document is directed
toward fulfilling the responsibilities outlined under the law.
102 Purpose and Objectives
102.1 This Plan, including the Annexes, provides for a pattern
of coordinated and integrated response by Departments and Agencies
of the Federal Government to protect the environment from the
damaging effects of pollution discharges. It promotes the coor-
dination and direction of Federal and State response systems and
encourages the development of local government and private
capabilities to handle such discharges.
102.2 The objectives of this Plan are to provide for efficient,
coordinated, and effective action to minimize damage from oil and
hazardous substance discharges, including containment, dispersal,
and removal. The Regional Plan, including the Annexes, provides
for:
1) Assignment of duties and responsibility among Federal
departments and agencies in coordination with State and
local agencies,
2) Identification, procurement, maintenance, and storage of
equipment and supplies,
3) Designation of a strike force to provide necessary services
to carry out the Plan,
4) Surveillance and reporting designed to insure the earliest
possible notice of discharges of oil and hazardous substances
to the appropriate Federal agency,
5) Procedures and techniques to be employed in identifying,
containing, dispersing, and removing oil and hazardous
substances,
6) Listing, in cooperation with the States, of dispersants
and other chemicals, if any, that may be used in carrying out
the Plan, and
7) Describing a system whereby the State or States affected by
a discharge may be reimbursed for reasonable costs incurred
in the removal of such discharge.
-------
103.1 This Plan is effective for all inland United States waters
and shorelines in Region Five. Region boundaries are indicated
in Annex IV.
103.2 The provisions of this Plan are applicable to all Federal
agencies. Implementation of this Plan is compatible with and
complementary to the joint U.S. - Canadian Contingency Plan

-------
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). In accordance with provisions
set forth in the U. S. River and Harbor Act of 1899, it shall be
unlawful to discharge refuse material into the navigable waters
of the United States. Oil is held to be "refuse" within the scope
of this 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
in excess of that otherwise permitted by law. 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 accordance
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 accord-
ance 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 opera-
ting, respectively, in and for the waters or 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
Administrator.
202 Federal Responsibility
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 expedi-
tious 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 disagreements 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, con-
struction 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 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, control, 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.
202.7 The Department of Justice can supply expert legal advice to
deal with complicated judicial questions arising from discharges
and Federal agency responses.
-------
202.8 The Department of Transportation provides expertise
regarding all modes of movement of 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 enforcement, navigation, and construction, manning,
operation, and safety of vessels and marine facilities. Addi-
tionally, the Coast Guard maintains continuously manned facili-
ties 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).
202.9 The Department of State will provide leadership in develop-
ing joint international contingency plans. It will also provide
assistance in coordination when a pollution discharge transects
international boundaries or involves foreign flag vessels.
202.10 The Atomic Energy Commission is the designated Agency for
administration, implementation and coordination of the Interagency
Radiological Assistance Plan (IRAP). AEC 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.
202.11 The Environmental Protection Agency, through the Office
of Air and Water Programs, provides expertise regarding environmen-
tal 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 particular
discharge poses to the public health and safety. EPA is responsible
for chairing the RRT and for development, revision and implementa-
tion, 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 prepa-
ration of regional plans.
202.12 The Federal Disaster Assistance Administration will main-
tain an awareness of pollution emergencies as they develop. The
normal FDAA (HUD) procedures will be followed to evaluate any
request for a major disaster declaration received from a Governor
of a State. If the President declares that a pollution discharge
constitutes a "major disaster" under PL 91-606, or that a major
disaster is imminent as defined by section 221, PL 91-606, the
Director, FDAA (HUD), will prepare coordination and direction of
the Federal response in accordance with FDAA (HUD) policies and
procedures.
10
-------
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 Title 33
Part 153, CFR, and Annex IX--Funding. Annex III, Part 1317, lists
the names and telephone numbers of designated State RRT funding
liaison contacts.
203.2 State and local governments have responsibilities estab-
lished by statute which may bear on their response to a pollution
incident. This plan does not intend to hinder or remove aoy of
these responsibilities but intends to promote the expeditious and
harmonious coordination of local, State, and Federal responses to
pollution incidents to achieve the most effective pattern of
response.
203.3 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.
11
-------
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
activities to improve response capabilities; and equipment, material
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, NRT shall act as an emergency
response team comprised of representatives from the Primary and
selected Advisory Agencies to be activated when the discharge of
oil or hazardous polluting substances exceeds the response
capability of the region in which it occurs or presents a major
hazard to substantial numbers of persons or nationally significant
amounts of property. NRT has no operational control of the OSC.

303 National Response Center
303.1 The NRC, located at Headquarters, USCG, is tfie Washington,
D. C., headquarters site for activities relative to pollution
emergencies. NRC quarters are described in Annex III of the
National Plan and provide 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 retnoval 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 for names of designated State representatives.
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. 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 accordance with Annex V.
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.
15
-------
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.
304.7 Boundaries of the Standard Federal Regions as shown in
Annex IV shall be followed for the development of the Regional
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) Assist in the preparation of amendments to this Plan.
3) 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 such spills. 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.
16
-------
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.
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 and will provide communications, information storage
and other necessary personnel and facilities to promote the
proper functioning and administration of this Plan.
306 On-Scene Coordination
306.1 Coordination and direction of Federal pollution control
efforts at the scene of a discharge or potential discharge shall
be accomplished through the OSC. The OSC is the single executive
agent predesignated by regional plan to coordinate and direct
such pollution control activities in each area of the region.
1) In the event of a discharge of oil or hazardous
polluting substance, the first Federal official on the
site shall assume coordination 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 probable direction and time
of travel of the material, the resources and installa-
tions 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.
17
-------
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 OSC area of
responsibility is included in contingency plan developed
by the Ninth Coast Guard District for the coastal
regional area within Region V.
3) The U.S. Coast Guard Second District is assigned the
responsibility to provide OSC's for the following
river port areas:
Mississippi River Mile Range
St. Louis, Mo. 168.7 to 218.0
Dubuque, Iowa 571.0 to 583.0
Ohio River Mile Range
Huntington, W. Va. 279.2 to 341.0
Cincinnati, Ohio 459.0 to 500.0
Louisville, Ky. 600.0 to 621.0
Paducah, Ky. 931.0 to 938.9
18
-------
The mile ranges on the above rivers not covered above
fall under EPA authority relative to OSC's but Coast
Guard assistance can be requested if its equipment is
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 Fed-
eral regulations and guidelines, EPA policies and this Plan.
19
-------
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 when a report is received
from a discharger in accordance with statutory requirements through
deliberate discovery procedures such as vessel patrols, aircraft
searches, or similar procedures or through random discovery by
incidental observations of 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, etc.
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.
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.
21
-------
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 activi-
ties, source control procedures, salvage operations, placement of
physical barriers to halt or slow the spread of a pollutant, em-
placement or activation of booms or barriers to protect specific
installations or areas, control of the water discharge from up-
stream 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
22
-------
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 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 estab-
lish bird collection, cleaning and recovery centers.
23
-------
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 represent-
ative 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 pollu-
ting 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 designate the OSC if members of one RRT or of
two adjacent 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 notification in accordance with Annex V to this
part and the applicable regional 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 effective in terms of
the statutory definition of removal, that is, they
25
-------
are fully sufficient to minimize or mitigate
damage to the public health or welfare. Private
removal efforts shall be deemed "improper" to
the extent 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 discharger shall be advised of
proper removal procedures. The situation shall be
monitored to insure that the removal is done properly
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) Attempt should be made to prevent further dis-
charges from the source.
b) The discharger shall be advised of the proper
action to be taken.
c) If, after providing advice to the discharger
and this advice is not followed, the discharger
shall be warned of his liability for the cost
of removal pursuant to section 311 (f)(3) of
the Act.
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.
26
-------
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.
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 "sixteen point" POLREP report
should be mailed to the District Office.
2) Medium and major discharges - A telephone call should
be made immediately to the District Office followed
by TWX or TELEX POLREP messages at appropriate intervals,
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 inclu-
ding 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.
2) The Environmental Response Team established by EPA to
carry out the Agency's disaster and emergency respon-
sibilities can provide the OSC and NSF with advice on
27
-------
the environmental effects of oil and hazardous sub-
stances discharges and removal and mitigation of the
effects of such discharges. This team includes exper-
tise 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. The
Emergency Task Forces shall be established by the
Agency responsible for providing the OSC not later
than one year from the effective date of this Plan.
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. Requests for the
EPA-ERT may be made to the EPA Emergency Coordinator
or the appropriate Regional Emergency Coordinator (REC),
or the EPA representative on the RRT.
505 Nuclear Pollution
505.1 In the event of a nuclear pollution incident, the procedures
of the Interagency Radiological Assistance Plan, implemented by the
AEC, shall apply.

1200 NOTIFICATION
1201 General
1201.1 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.
1202 Notif ication Requi rements
1202.1 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 POLREP's pertaining to the case.
1202.2 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 Hazardous
Materials Division Headquarters in Washington, D.C. If local
government cleanup action is required, cognizant officials should
be notified.
1202.3 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 Hazardous
Materials Division Headquarters. Further notification will be
accomplished by the EPA Regional Response Center as indicated by
the situation.
1202.4 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 immediately
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 Hazardous Materials Division Headquarters by
teletype message.
II-I
-------
1203 National Level Telephonic Notification
1203.1 During working hours the NRC can be notified by contacting
the Maritime Pollution Control Branch of Law Enforcement Division,
U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters, Washington, D.C. 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.
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 appropriate. Message reports to
the NRT will be addressed as indicated in section 1504.2.
1204 Regional Response Team Notification
1204.1 Telephonic notification of all reports of a major or
potential major spills and all pollution incidents received by
the RRC will be evaluated by the EPA member of the RRT. Notifi-
cation 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.
1204.2 The RRT consists of representatives of the Primary Agencies
and selected Advisory Agencies. The representative of the EPA
will act as Chairman and the representative of the Coast Guard
will act as Executive Secretary. 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.
1204.3 The planning and preparedness functions of the team are
outlined in section 304.8.
1204.4 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.

1204.5 The RRC is the Regional Headquarters site for activities
relative to pollution control emergency situations. The RRC is
located at the Environmental Protection Agency's Region V
Office, One North Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606.
1204.6 The RRC will provide communications facilities, access
to charts, technical publications, computer storage and retrieval,
and other necessary physical facilities.
1205 Coordinated Response
1205.1 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's and RRC's bordering Region V are included in Annex III.
1206 General Alerting Procedure
1206.1 The pre-designated OSC's will be notified through the
general alerting procedure for Region V. This procedure is
graphically illustrated on page 11-3. 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 prob-
able path of the pollutant, 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.
1206.2 The EPA District Office will alert the State and, where
appropriate, the Canadian Provincial 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.
II-4
-------
1206.3 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.
1207 Alerting System Telephone Contacts
1207.1 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. If a phone number is given and then the statement
"ask for" and a second number is given, the first number is FTS,
the second is a local phone number.
1208 Pollution Report Requirements
1208.1 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 1506.
1208.2 Minor spills would normally be reported by the OSC in
POLREP ONE AND FINAL. See section 1202.2.
1208.3 The OSC should submit timely POLREP1s 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 POLREP's
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.
1209 Administrative Report Requirements
1209.1 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.
1209.2 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.
II-5
-------
1209.3 The primary purpose of these reports is 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.

1401 Regional Areas
Region V has been divided into two operational areas, inland
and coastal, corresponding to the areas in which the Environ-
mental Protection Agency and the Department of Transportation
are respectively responsible for furnishing or providing for OSC's.
The inland regional area consists of the inland navigable waters
and tributaries thereof in Region V, 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 inter-
connecting rivers, major bays, ports and harbors, and the tribu-
tary 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. 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 XL
1402 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 five District Offices located in Chicago,

1409 Ninth Coast Guard District OSC Area
The U.S. Coast Guard Ninth District are designated 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
responsibility 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 Illinois District Office Area
The Illinois 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:

agreement was reached which was similar to the one reached with
COTP Chicago. Emphasized was the Coast Guard COTP Milwaukee
responsibility on Lake Michigan from the Wisconsin-Illinois state
line to just north of Washington Island, Door County, Wisconsin
where the Coast Guard responsibility falls to the COTP Sault Ste.
Marie. Inland bodies of water, tributary to Lake Michigan, were
included in the Coast Guard area of responsibility, starting from
the Illinois-Wisconsin border and going northward, as follows:
Kenosha

Annex VI
1600 PUBLIC INFORMATION
1601 Introduction
1601.1 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.
1602 Regional News Office
1602.1 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 New Office should be set up at or near the location
where the OSC is stationed. Requests by the Director of the Regional
News Office for appropriate professional and clerical assistance
will be met by one or more of the primary agencies.
1602.2 The Director of the Regional News Office 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.
1602.3 All news releases involving major policy considerations
will be cleared by the Chairman of the RRT or in his absence,
the Executive Secretary.
1602.4 The Director of the Regional News Office will have free
access to meetings of the RRT and should be consulted on the
possible public reaction to the courses of action under consid-
eration by the RRT.
1602.5 The Regional News Office will be provided with adequate
space, telephones, typewriters, communications equipment and
other supplies by the Primary Agency which is providing the
headquarters for the RRT. The Director of the Regional News
Office will determine what equipment and supplies are needed to
ensure an orderly flow of information and to accommodate visiting
members of the news media.
VI-1
-------
1603 Washington, D.C. Public Information Contact
1603.1 If the NRT has not been activated, the Director of the
Regional News Office 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 in-
formation officer assigned to this task will follow the proce-
dures outlined above for the Director of the National News Office
in contacting the press offices of the White House and Congressional
and Federal officials.
1604 Interim Public Information Director
1604.1 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.
1605 Special Public Information Procedures for Senators, Repre-
sentatives, Congressional Aides and staff members, White House
Representatives and other VIP's
1605.1 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.
1606 Special Public Information Procedures for Salesmen
1606.1 Public information officers assigned to pollution incidents
will refer salesmen to technical personnel designated to evaluate
their wares.
1607 Special Public Information Procedures for the General Public
1607.1 In responding to queries from the general public, public
information officers will advise the callers or arrange to have
the callers advised on what the latest press release has reported.
1608 Special Public Information Procedures - Correspondence
1608.1 After the crisis has subsided, a model letter reporting on
the situation will be drafted by the public information personnel
assigned to the problem. After the model letter has been approved
by the Chairman of the NRT or the RRT, copies will be sent to the
Primary Agencies for their guidance in responding to mail inquiries.

Annex VIII
1800 DOCUMENTATION AND COST RECOVERY
1801 Introduction
1801.1 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 available.
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 safeguarded
for future use. Additional guidance can be found in EPA's "Field
Detection and Damage Assessment Handbook."
1802 Notification of Counsel
1802.1 Immediately upon notification that a discharge has occurred
the RRT members shall notify their respective regional attorneys
by the most expeditious means.
1802.2 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.
1802.3 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 having cost recovery authority will
then refer copies of the pollution reports to his respective agency
counsel.
1803 Legal Notice to Suspected Discharger
1803.1 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
VIII-1
-------
Act; the need to perform removal in accordance with existing
Federal and State statutes and regulations, and this Plan; and
identification of the OSC.
1804 Sample Col.lection Procedures to be Followed by OSC
1804.1 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.
1804.2 In taking such samples, the following procedures are
to be followed in all cases:
1804.2-1 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.
1804.2-2 Previously unused containers are preferred. Containers
that have been cleaned with a strong detergent, thoroughly
rinsed, and dried may be used.
1804.2-3 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 skim-
ming techniques should be used to obtain a sufficient amount of oil
for analysis; and, c) since it is not unusual for a pollution
condition to change rapidly, samples should be taken promptly, and
the time sequences and places noted. Samples must be properly
labeled.
1804.2-4 Consult with the analysis laboratory personnel relative
to special samples and unusual problems.
1804.2-5 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
-------
1805 Photographic records
1805.1 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.
1806 Chain of Custody Record
1806.1 All samples and other tangible evidence must be main-
tained 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 there-
after 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 for analysis.
1807 Spill Pollution Report
1807.1 The appropriate information for each pollution spill should
be obtained by the OSC and reported in the "sixteen point" format
established by the Division of Oil and Hazardous Materials,
Washington, D.C. Statements of witnesses, photographs, analyses
of samples and related documentation will be retained by the OSC
for possible use in enforcement actions. In all major spills,
the pollution incident report should be completed and forwarded
to the RRT Chairman.
VIII-3
-------
Annex IX
1900 FUNDING
1901 General
1901.1 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
financial responsibility.
1901.2 If the discharger does not voluntarily act promptly to
remove the discharge of oil or hazardous substances, Federal dis-
charge 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.
1901.3 Actions undertaken by the Primary Agencies in response to
pollution emergencies shall be carried out under existing programs
and authorities insofar as practicable.
1901.4 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.
1901.5 This Plan encourages interagency agreements whenever spe-
cific 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.
1902 Funding Responsibility
1902.1 The funding of removal actions necessitated by a discharge
from a Federally operated or supervised facility is the responsi-
bility of the operating or supervising agency.
1902.2 Funding of response actions not associated with the
removal activity, such as scientific investigations, law enforce-
ment, or public relations is the responsibility of the agency
having statutory or executive responsibility for those specific
actions.
IX-1
-------
1903 Agency Funding
1903.1 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 deter-
mined on a case-by-case basis by the Division of Oil and Hazardous
Materials 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.
1903.2 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.
1903.3 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.)
1903.1-1 Funds required for removal of a sunken vessel or similar
obstruction to navigation are available to the Corps of Engineers
through Civil Functions Appropriations, Operations and Maintenance,
General.
1903.1-2 The U.S. Navy has funds available on a reimbursable
basis to conduct salvage operations.
1904 Disaster Relief Funds
1904.1 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 Director, Federal Disaster Assistance Admin-
istration. After the President has declared a "major disaster"
and authorized allocation of funds, the Director may authorize
certain reimbursement to Federal agencies for disaster assistance
provided under direction of his office. Applicable policies and
procedures are stated in Title 32, Chapter XVII, Part 1709,
"Reimbursement of Other Federal Agencies Performing Major Disaster
Relief Functions."
1904.2 In addition to the authority provided for actions taken
subsequent to the declaration of a "major disaster", if the
President determines that a major disaster is imminent, he is
authorized pursuant to section 221, PL 91-606 to use the resources
of the Federal Government to avert or lessen the effects of such
disaster before its actual occurrence.
IX-2
-------
1904.3 The Director, FDAA, may also make financial assistance
available to State governments and through the States to local
governments in accordance with policies and procedures stated
in Title 32, Chapter XVII, Part 1710, "Federal Disaster
Assistance."
1905 Pollution Revolving Fund
1905.1 A pollution revolving fund, administered by the Commandant,
USCG, has been established under the provisions of Section 311 of
the Act. Regulations governing the administration and use of the
fund are contained in 33 CFR 153.301-153.319.
1905.2 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.
1905.2-1 Removal by a State is necessary when the OSC determines
that the owner or operator of the vessel, onshore facility, or
offshore facility from which the discharge occurs does not efTect
removal properly and that:
1905.2-1.1 State action is required to minimize or mitigate
significant damage to the public health or welfare which Federal
action cannot minimize or mitigate, or
1905.2-1.2 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.
1905.2-2 Notwithstanding the above, State removal actions are
not necessary if not in compliance with Annex X of this Plan.
1905.2-3 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 con-
sidered.
1905.2-4 When supervised by the State agency designated pursuant
to Part 203.1 of this Plan, removal operations of a local govern-
ment are considered to be actions of the State for purposes of
this section.
IX-3
-------
1906 Obligation of Funds
1906.1 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 reim-
bursable service should determine the source of reimbursement
before committing resources necessitating reimbursement.
1906.2 The criteria to be met before funds will be authorized
include:
a) A discharge into or upon navigable waters or adjoining
shorelines or a strong likelihood that the pollutant will
reach navigable waters. 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 in unknown or does
not take appropriate remedial action.
1906.3 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.
1906.3-1 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.
1906.4 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.
1906.5 OSC shall exert adequate control of removal operations
so that he can certify that reimbursement from the fund is
appropriate.
1906.6 Detailed instructions on utilization of the fund are
contained in the USCG Comptroller Manual.
IX-4
-------
1906.7 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 under-
stood that the EPA OSC will first communicate with the proper
USCG District Office to briefly describe the removal effort con-
templated and to receive a project number for cost charging
purposes. The OSC may initially obligate up to $20,000. 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 $20,000 in cost, the
USCG District Contracting Officer may arrive at the scene of the
discharge to arrange for contracting services.
1906.8 By agreement with the USCG Second and Ninth Districts in
cases 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 provided 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.
1906.9 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 pay-
ment for the work is made.
1907 Planning
1907.1 The availability of funds and requirements for the reim-
bursement 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.
1907.2 Local interagency agreements may be necessary to specify
when reimbursement is required.
IX-5
-------
1908 Basic Ordering Agreement
1908.1 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 capabili-
ties can provide analyses and predictions of damage effects. The
specific services may include determinations of sources, causes,
effects, movement, and dispersion of oil and hazardous substances
spilled into inland waters.
1908.2 Orders for work under this agreement may be initiated
verbally but only by the following individuals in the Division of
Oil and Hazardous Materials Office, Washington, D.C.:
Russel H. Wyer 202-426-3971
Henry D. VanCleave 202-426-8703

Annex X
2000 SCHEDULE OF CHEMICAL AGENTS
2001 General
2001.1 This Schedule shall apply to the waters of the United
States and adjoining shorelines, and the waters of the contiguous
zone.
2001.2 This Schedule applies to the use of any chemicals as here-
inafter defined that may be used to remove oil and remove or
neutralize hazardous substances discharges.
2001.3 This Schedule advocates development and utilization of
mechanical and other control methods that will result in removal
of oil and hazardous substances discharges from the environment
with subsequent proper disposal.
2001.4 It is the intent of this Schedule that no harmful quantities
of any substances be applied to the waters to remove or neutralize
the effects of oil or hazardous substances discharges.
2001.5 Relationship of the Environmental Protection Agency to
other Federal and State agencies in implementing this Schedule:
in those States with more stringent laws, regulations or written
policies regulating chemical use, such State laws, regulations
or written policies shall govern.
2001.6 It has been determined that because of the overriding
need for prompt initiation of discharge removal actions, no for-
mal permit as provided for by section 402 of the Act, shall be
required before application of chemicals to mitigate the effects
of a discharge. The provisions of Part 201.7 of this Plan shall
apply.
2002 Definitions. Substances applied to oil or floating hazardous
substances discharges are defined as follows:
2002.1 Collecting agents - are those substances that concentrate,
congeal, entrap, fix, gel , or make the pollutant mass more
rigid or viscous in order to facilitate removal from the water's
surface.
2002.2 Sinking agents - are those substances that can physically
sink the pollutant below the water's surface.
X-l
-------
2002.3 Chemical agents - are those elements, compounds or mix-
tures that disperse, dissolve, emulsify, neutralize, precipitate,
oxidize or reduce the pollutant on the water's surface or in the
water column.
2003 Collecting Agents
2003.1 Collecting agents are considered to be generally acceptable
providing that these materials do not in themselves or in combina-
tion with the pollutant increase the environmental hazard. Collect-
ing agents may be used only when authorized by the On-Scene
Coordinator on a case by case basis. The OSC can authorize that
use only after considering the effects on the performance of the
collecting agent of ambient temperatures, wind, wave action,
debris and other foreign material in the water, type of oil, and
availability of removal operations to remove the collected oil.
Technical guidance on application techniques and dosage rates
will be provided by EPA.
2004 Sinking Agents
2004.1 Sinking agents shall not be used for oil and hazardous
substances pollution control.
2005 Authorities Controlling Use of Chemical Agents
2005.1 Major and medium discharges. Chemical agents may be used
in any place, at any time, and in quantities designated by the
On-Scene Coordinator, when their use will:
2005.1-1 In the judgement of the OSC, prevent or substantially
reduce hazard to human life or limb or substantially reduce
explosion or fire hazard to property;
2005.1-2 In the judgement of EPA, in consultation with appropri-
ate State agencies, prevent or reduce substantial hazard to a
major segment of the population (s) of vulnerable species of
waterfowl; and,
2005.1-3 In the judgement of EPA, in consultation with appropriate
State agencies, result in the least overall environmental damage,
or interference with designated water uses.
2005.2 Minor discharge. The provisions of section 2005.1-1 shall
apply. The use of chemical agents in any other situation shall
be subject to this Schedule except in States where State laws,
regulations, or written policies that govern the prohibition, use,
quantity, or type of chemical are in effect. In such States, the
State laws, regulations or written policies shall be followed
during the removal operation.
X-2
-------
2006 Restrictions on Use of Chemical Agents for Pollution
Control Purposes. Except as noted in 2005.1 above, chemical
agents shall not be applied to the waters to remove dis-
charges:
2006.1 of distillate fuel oils;
2006.2 of less than 200 barrels of oil;
2006.3 from any beach;
2006.4 in waters less than 100 feet deep;
2006.5 in waters, identified in regional plans, containing major
populations or breeding or passage areas of species of fish or
marine life which may be damaged or rendered commercially less
marketable by exposure to chemical agents or dispersed pollutants.
2006.6 in waters where winds and/or currents are of such velocity
and direction that chemically treated mixtures would likely, in
the judgement of EPA, be carried to shore areas within 24 hours; or
2006.7 on any waters where such use may affect surface drinking
water supplies.
2007 Chemical Agent Use. Chemical agents may be used for removal
of oil discharges in accordance with this Schedule if other
control methods are judged to be inadequate or infeasible,
and if:
2007.1 Technical information on the physical, chemical, and
toxicity characteristics of the chemical agents has been submitted
in duplicate to the DOHM, EPA, Washington, D.C., 20460, at least
60 days prior to the chemical agent's use. The submission shall
include the information required in sections 2007.3 and 2007.4 as
well as dispersant effectiveness and toxicity data obtained in
accordance with the EPA standard analytical procedures specified
in "Standard Dispersant Effectiveness and Toxicity Test" (EPA R2-
73-201, May 1973).
2007.2 Information furnished in accordance with section 2007.1
shall be maintained on file by EPA to provide technical guidance
to pre-designated OSC's on the acceptable circumstances of use
and dosage rates for the chemical agent(s).
2007.3 Chemical agent containers shall be labeled with the follow-
ing information:
2007.3-1 Name, brand or trademark, if any, under which the chemical
agent is sold;
X-3
-------
2007.3-2 Name and address of the manufacturer, importer or vendor;
2007.3-4 Flash point;
2007.3-4 Freezing or pour point;
2007.3-5 Viscosity;
2007.3-6 Special handling, storage or worker safety precautions;
2007.3-7 Recommend application procedure(s), concentration(s),
and conditions for use depending upon water salinity, water
temperature, and types and ages of the pollutants; and
2007.3-8 Date of production and shelf life.
2007.4 Information to be supplied to EPA:
2007.4-1 Chemical agent name and percentage of each component;
2007.4-2 Specific gravity;
2007.4-3 Solubility in fresh or salt waters at 15°C;
2007.4-4 Concentrations of potentially hazardous trace materials,
including, but not necessarily being limited to arsenic, chromium,
copper, lead, mercury, nickel or zinc; or chlorinated hydro-
carbons; and
2007.4-5 Description of the analytical methods employed and results
obtained in determining the chemical and biological characteristics
of the chemical agent. This information shall be described in an
official report from a recognized laboratory.
2007.5 For purposes of research, development and demonstration,
EPA may authorize use of chemicals in specified amounts and locations
under controlled conditions irrespective of the provisions of this
Schedule. Guidelines have been published (Federal Register, Vol. 36,
No. 75, April 17, 1971) for this purpose.
Note: In addition to those agents defined and described in section
2002 above, the following materials which are not a part of this
Schedule, with cautions on their use, should be considered:
1. Biological agents - are microbiological cultures or enzymes
or nutrient additives that are deliberately introduced
into an oil or hazardous substance spill for the specific
purpose of encouraging or speeding biodegradations to
mitigate the effects of a spill. These agents may be used
only when such use is the most desirable technique for
removing oils or hazardous substances and only after
X-4
-------
obtaining approval from the appropriate state and local
public health and water pollution control officials.
Biological agents may be used only when a listing of
organisms or other ingredients contained in the agent is
provided to EPA in sufficient time for review before its
use.
2. Burning agents - are those materials which, through phy-
sical or chemical means, improve the combustibility of
the materials to which they are applied. Burning agents
may be used and are acceptable so long as they do not
in themselves, or in combination with the material to
which they are applied, increase the pollution hazard
and their use is approved by appropriate Federal, State
and local fire prevention officials.

(As a general rule-of thumb use 6.5 barrels
or 250 gallons per ton of oil.)
2503.13 CRUDE OIL: Petroleum as it is extracted from the earth.
There may be several thousands of different substances in crude
oil some of which evaporate quickly, while others persist indef-
initely. 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.
XV-4
-------
2503.14 DEMULSIBILITY: The resistance of an oil to emulsifica-
tion, or the ability of an oil to separate from any water with
which it is mixed. The better the demulsibility rating, the more
quickly the oil separates from water.
2503.15 DENSITY: Density is the term meaning the mass of a unit
volume. Its numerical expression varies with the units selected.
2503.16 EMULSION: A mechanical mixture of two liquids which do
not naturally mix as oil and water. Water-in-oil emulsions have
the water as the internal phase and oil as the external. Oil-in-
water emulsions have water as the external phase and the internal
phase is oil.
2503.17 FIRE POINT: The lowest temperature at which an oil
vaporizes rapidly enough to burn for at least 5 seconds after ig-
nition, under standard conditions.
2503.18 FLASH POINT: The lowest temperature at which an oil
gives off sufficient vapor to form a mixture which will ignite,
under standard conditions.
2503.19 FRACTION: Refinery term for a product -of fractional dis-
tillation having a restricted boiling range.
2503.20 FUEL OIL GRADE: Numerical ratings ranging from 1 to 6.
The lower the grade number, the thinner the oil is and the more
easily it evaporates. A high number indicates a relatively thick,
heavy oil. No. 1 and 2 fuel oils are usually used in domestic
heaters, and the others are used by industry and ships. No. 5
and 6 oils are solids which must be liquified by heating. Kero-
sene, coal oil, and range oil are all No. 1 oil. No. 3 fuel oil
is no longer used as standard term.
2503.21 INNAGE: Space occupied in a product container.
2503.22 IN PERSONEM: An action in personem is instituted
against an individual, usually through the personal service of
process, and may result in the imposition of a liability
directly upon the person of a defendant.
2503.23 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.
XV-5
-------
2503.24 LOAD ON TOP: A procedure for ballasting and cleaning
unloaded tankers without discharging oil. Half of the tanks are
first filled with seawater while the others are cleaned by
hosing. Then oil from the cleaned tanks, along with oil which
has separated out in the full tanks, is pumped into-a single
slop tank. The clean water in the full tanks is then discharged
while the freshly-cleaned tanks are filled with seawater.
Ballast is thus constantly maintained.
2503.25 OIL FILMS: A slick thinner than .0001 inch and may be
classified as follows:
standard term
"barely visible"
"silvery"
"slightly colored"
"brightly colored"
"dull"

Note: Each one-inch thickness of oil equals 5.61 gallons per*
square yard or 17,378,709 gallons per square mile.
2503.26 OUTAGE: Space left in a product container to allow for
expansion during temperature changes it may undergo during ship-
ment and use. Measurement of space not occupied.
2503.27 pH: Term used to express the apparent acidity or alka-
linity of aqueous solutions; values below 7 indicate acid solutions
and values above 7 indicate alkaline solutions.
2503.28 POUR POINT: The lowest temperature at which an oil will
flow or can be poured under specified conditions of test.
2503.29 RESIDUAL OIL: A general term used to indicate a heavy
viscous fuel oil.
XV-6

2503.30 SCUPPERS: Openings around the deck of a vessel which allow
water falling onto the deck to flow overboard. Should be plugged
during fuel transfer.
2503.31 SLUDGE OIL: Muddy impurities and acid which have
settled from a mineral oil.
2503.32 SPECIFIC GRAVITY: The ratio of the weight of a given
volume of the material at a stated temperature to the weight of
an equal volume of distilled water at a stated temperature.
2503.33 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.
2503.34 STOKE: The unit of kinematic viscosity.
2503.35 TONNAGE: There are various tonnages applied to merchant
ships. The one commonly implied is gross although in these days
tankers and other bulk-carriers are often referred to in terms
of deadweight.
2503.35-1 Gross tonnage. 100 cubic feet of permanently enclosed
space is equal to one gross ton—nothing whatever to do with weight.
This is usually the registered tonnage although it may vary some-
what according to the classifying authority or nationality.
2503.35-2 Net tonnage. The earning capacity of a ship. The
gross tonnage after deduction of certain spaces, such as engine
and boiler rooms, crew accommodation, stores, equipment etc.
Port and harbor dues are based on this tonnage.
2503.35-3 Displacement tonnage. The actual weight in tons,
varying according to whether a vessel is in light or loaded con-
dition. Warships are always spoken of by this form of measure-
ment.
2503.35-4 Deadweight tonnage. The actual weight in tons of
cargo, stores, etc. required to bring a vessel down to her load
line, from the light condition. Cargo deadweight is, as its name
implies, the actual weight in tons of the cargo when loaded, as
distinct from stores, ballast, etc.
2503.36 ULLAGE: The amount by which a tank or vessel lacks
being filled. (See also OUTAGE)
2503.37 VISCOSITY: The property of liquids which causes them to
resist instantaneous change of shape, or instantaneous rearrange-
ment 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
XV-7
-------
usually expressed as the number of seconds at a definite temperature
required for a standard quantity of oil to flow through a standard
apparatus.
2503.38 VISCOUS: Thick, resistant to flow, having a high vis-
cosity.
2503.39 VOLATILE: Evaporates easily.
