FRONTISPIECE
This Plan, including the annexes, provides for a pattern of co-
ordinated 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 coordination and
direction of federal, state, and local response systems and encourages
the development of local government and private capabilities to handle
such discharges.
The objectives of this Plan are to provide for efficient, coordi-
nated, and effective action to minimize damage from oil and hazardous
substance discharges, including containment, dispersal, and removal.
The Plan, including the annexes, provides for: 1) assignment of duties
and responsibility among federal departments and agencies in coordi-
nation with state and local agencies; 2) identification and procure-
ment of equipment and supplies; 3) designation of strike forces to
provide necessary services to carry out the Plan; 4) a system of re-
porting designed to insure the earliest possible notice of discharges
of oil and hazardous substances to the appropriate federal agency; 5)

100 INTRODUCTION
101 Authority
101.1 This Regional Oil and Hazardous Materials Contingency Plan
has been developed in compliance with the Federal Water Pollution
Control Act, as amended (33 U.S.C. 1251, et seq.), and the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation^ancl [liability Act
(42 USC 9601). Operation of the National Contingency Plan requires a
nationwide network of regional contingency plans for removal of
released oil or hazardous materials. These regional plans shall be
revised and amended as needed. This EPA Region V document is directed
toward fulfilling the responsibilities outlined under 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 releases of oil or hazardous materials. It promoted the
coordination and direction of federal, state, and local government and
private capabilities to handle such releases.
102.2 The objectives of this plan are to provide for efficient,
coordinated, and effective action to minimize damage from oil or
hazardous materials releases, including containment, dispersal,
removal, and the ultimate disposal. The Regional Plan provides for:
(1) Assignment of duties and responsibilities 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

-1-
-------
(5) Procedures and techniques to be employed in identifying,
containing, dispersing, and removing oil or hazardous materials:
(6) Listing dispersants and other chemicals, if any, that may
be used in carrying out the Plan.
(7) A system whereby the state or states affected by a
release may be reimbursed for reasonable costs incurred in removal of
such release. Pending further agreements, reimbursements may be made
only for removal actions authorized under section 311 (K) of the Clean
Water Act.
(8) Establishment of a regional center to provide
coordination and direction of operations in carrying out the Plan.
(9) A procedure for coordinating scientific support for
cleanup operations, assessment of damage after a spill and research
efforts; and

200 POLICY AND RESPONSIBILITY
201 Federal Policy
201.1 Response policies are contained in:
CERCLA - The statute documents the intent of Congress to
provide for liability, compensation, cleanup and emergency response for
hazardous materials released to the environment.
CWA 311 (b)(l) The Congress hereby declares that it is the
policy of the United States that there should be no releases of oil or
hazardous materials into or upon the navigable waters of the United
States, adjoining shorelines, or into or upon the waters of the
contiguous zone [.], or in connection with activities under the Outer
Continental Shelf Lands Act or the Deepwater Port Act of 1974, or which
may affect natural resources belonging to, appertaining to, or under
the exclusive management authority of the United States (including
resources under the Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976).
201.2 Any person in charge of a vessel or an onshore or offshore
facility of any kind shall, as soon as he has knowledge of any release
of oil or hazardous materials (other than a permitted release) from
such vessel or facility, immediately notify the National Response
Center at the toll free number (800) 424-8802. If, for some reason,
reporting to this number is impractical, releases in the states of
Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin can be
reported to EPA - Region V at 312/353-2318.
201.3 The primary thrust of this Regional Plan is to provide a
coordinated government response capability at the scene of a release or
potential release of oil or hazardous materials that poses a threat to
the public health or welfare. Initial actions taken by the federal
OSC, predesignated in Section 301.2 of this Regional Plan, shall be to
determine, in conjunction with appropriate personnel, if the person
responsible for the release of oil or hazardous materials has taken
proper action to respond to the release. The OSC should ensure that
the person or persons responsible for the release are aware of their
responsibility and are encouraged to undertake necessary counter-
measures. If the person responsible for the release does not act
promptly, does not take appropriate actions to remove the released oil
or hazardous materials, or if the person responsible for the release is
unknown, or if a potential release is considered to exist, further
response actions shall be instituted in accordance with this Regional
-9-
-------
Plan. When the person responsible for the release is taking proper
action, the OSC shall monitor progress and provide advice.
201.4 Removal actions taken pursuant to Section 3ll(c)(l) of the
CWA or CERCLA section 104 are limited, for the purposes of this Plan,
to the air, land, water and groundwater existing within standard
federal Region V boundaries.
201.5 In accordance with Section 311 (d) of the CWA, whenever a
disaster in or upon the navigable waters of the United States has
created a substantial threat of an oil or hazardous material pollution
hazard to the public health or welfare, because of an actual or
potential release of oil or hazardous materials from a vessel, the
United States may: (1) coordinate and direct all efforts to remove or
eliminate such threat; and (2) remove and, if necessary, destroy the
vessel by whatever means are available without regard to any law
governing the employment of personnel or the expenditure of
appropriated funds. This authority has been delegated under Executive
Order 11735 and 12316 to the Administrator of EPA and the Secretary of
the Department of Transportation (USC6) for waters within their
respective OSC boundaries.
In accordance with CERCLA, section 104(a)(l), whenever (A) any
hazardous substance is released or there is a substantial threat of
such a release into the environment, or (B) there is a release or
substantial threat of release into the environment of any pollutant or
contaminant which may present an imminent and substantial danger to the
public health or welfare, the President is authorized to act,
consistent with the National Contingency Plan, to remove or arrange for
the removal of, and provide for remedial action relating to such
hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant at any time (including
its removal from any contaminated natural resource), or take any other
response measure consistent with the National Contingency Plan which
the President deems necessary to protect the public health or welfare
of the environment, unless the President determines that such removal
and remedial action will be done properly by the owner or operator of
the vessel or facility from which the release or threat of release
emanates, or by any other responsible party. These response
authorities are further delegated under Executive Order 12316 to the
participating federal agencies, principally EPA and DOT (USCG).
201.6 When the Administrator of EPA determines there is a
substantial threat to the public health and welfare because of an
actual or potential release of oil or hazardous materials affecting
inland waters of the United States, he may require, through the
Attorney General, such relief as may be necessary to abate the threat.
-10-
-------
201.7 The federal agencies having resources which may be useful in
a federal response will make such resources available for use in
accordance with the NCP. Agencies making resources available shall
make such assignment consistent with operational requirements, within
the limits of existing statutory authority, and within the spirit of
the President's intention to minimize releases of oil or hazardous
materials and their effects.
201.8 Environmental oil or hazardous materials pollution control
techniques shall be employed in accordance with applicable regulations
and guidelines. The use of chemicals by the OSC shall be in accordance
with the National Plan and, except during imminent hazard to human
health, must have the concurrence of the EPA representative on the RRT;
in his absence the concurrence of the Regional Administrator of
EPA-Region V must be obtained.
202 Federal Responsibility
202.1 Each of the participating federal agencies have responsi-
bilities established by statue, Executive Order, or Presidential
Directive which may be relevant to federal response to oil or hazardous
materials releases.
This Regional Plan intends to promote the release of these responsi-
bilities through the assignment of authority for action to those
agencies having the most appropriate capability to act in each specific
situation.
202.2 The Department of Agriculture provides expertise in managing
agriculturalforest,anBwilderness areas in selecting landfill
disposal sites. The Soil Conservation Service can provide to the OSC
predictions of the effects of oil or hazardous materials on soil and
their movements over and through soil.
202.3 The Department of Commerce, through NOAA shall provide
scientific expertiseonlivingmarine resources for which it is
responsible, including endangered species and marine mammals,
coordinate scientific support, provide current and predicted
meteorologic, hydrologic, ice, and oceanographic conditions for the
high seas, and coastal and inland waters; provide charts and maps,
including tide and current information, for coastal and territorial
waters.
-11-
-------
202.4 The Department of Defense consistent with its operational
requirements"!mayprovideassistance in critical oil or hazardous
materials incidents and in the maintenance of navigation channels,
salvage, and removal of nagivation obstructions. The DOD will provide
the OSC and RRT chairman for releases on DOD property or facilities.
202.5 The Department of Energy administers, implements, and
coordinates the Interagency Kadiological Assistance Plan (IRAP). DOE
will provide advice and assistance to the RRT with respect to the
identification of the source and extent of radioactive contamination,
and removal and disposal of radioactive releases.
202.6 The Department of Health and Human Services is responsible
for providing expertise and advice on public health and worker safety
issues associated with releases or threatened releases of hazardous
substances; for all health studies and surveys conducted under CERCLA;
and for maintaining and providing information on the health effects of
toxic substances. As the lead agency in DHHS for CERCLA, the Center
for Disease Control coordinates all health-related activities and
services under the Superfund Program.
202.7 The Federal Emergency Management Agency participates in the
development anclevaluation of regional and local oil and hazardous
materials contingency plans in accordance with Executive Order 12148,
Section 2-1; monitors responses related to such plans in accordance
with Executive Order 12148, Section 2-2; and evaluates state governors'
requests for presidential declarations of major disasters or deter-
minations of emergency under PL 93-288 (42 U.S.C. 4001, _et_ seq.), the
Disaster Relief Act of 1974. Under the provisions of Executive Order
12316 FEMA is charged with managing evacuations and/or relocations as
described in sections 300.65 (a) and 300 70 (e) of the National
Contingency Plan when requested by the OSC.
202.8 Department of the Interior, through the Regional Environmental
Officer]provides coordination for bureau involvement in contingency
planning. The USGS supplies advice and information on geohydrologic,
geologic and geochemical data ground and surface water data, as well as
maps. The National Park Service may provide information on historic,
cultural and recreational resources. The Mines and Minerals Service
can assist with information on minerals. Additionally, the Fish and
Wildlife Service will provide, through its regional pollution response
coordinators, technical expertise with respect to land, fish and
wildlife, including migratory birds, some marine mammals, and
endangered or threatened plants and animals and their habitats. Under
Executive Order 12316, the Department of the Interior is among those
agencies designated by the NCP as federal trustees for national
resources.
202.9 The Department of Justice can supply expert legal advice to
deal with complicatedjudicialquestions arising from releases and
federal agency responses.
-12-
-------
202.10 The Department of Labor, through the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration, will provide the OSC with advice, guidance, and
assistance regarding hazards to persons involved in removal or control
of oil or chemical spills and in the precautions necessary to prevent
endangerment of their health and safety.
202.11 The Department of Transportation provides expertise regarding
transportation of oil or hazardous materials. Through the USCG, DOT
supplies 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. The
Coast Guard maintains continuously manned facilities that are capable
of command, control, and surveillance for oil or hazardous substances
releases occurring on the waters of the United States and may provide
these services to the OSC.
202.12 The Department of State will lead in developing joint inter-
national contingencyplans.Ft will also provide assistance in
coordination when pollution release crosses international boundaries or
involves foreign flag vessels. Additionally, this Department will
coordinate requests for assistance from Government of Canada and U.S.
proposals for conducting research at incidents that occur in Canadian
waters.
202.13 The Environmental Protection Agency provides expertise
regarding environmental effects of pollution releases and environmental
pollution control techniques. EPA will also advise the RRT and OSC of
the degree of hazard a particular release poses to the public health
and safety, and will coordinate scientific support, including damage
assessment, in inland regions. EPA is responsible for chairing the RRT
and for development, revision, and implementation of regional and local
plans for those areas in which it has responsibility' to furnish the
OSC. EPA will coordinate with the USCG in preparation of regional and
local plans for pollution control and protection of the environment.
202.14 All federal agencies are responsible for minimizing the
occurrence of releases of oil or hazardous materials and for developing
the capability to respond promptly in cases of releases from facilities
they operate or supervise, and making resources available for federal
response operations.
202.15 In addition to paragraph 202.14, participating agencies are
responsible for:
-13-
-------
(1) Leading all federal agencies in programs to minimize the
number of and enviromental damage associated with releases from
facilities they operate or supervise;
(2) Providing representation to the RRT and assistance to
the OSCs in formulating regional and local plans;
(3) Developing, within their operating elements, the
capability in their particular areas of expertise for a rapid response
to any oil or hazardous materials release in coordination with other
federal agencies;
(4) Making information available to the RRT or OSC; and
(5) Keeping the RRT informed, consistent with national
security considerations, of changes in the availability of resources
that would affect the operation of this Regional Plan.
203 Nonfederal Participation
203.1 Every State governor is asked to assign an office or agency
to represent the state on the RRT. The state's representative should
participate fully in all facets of RRT activity and shall designate the
appropriate element of the state government that would undertake
direction of state-managed oil or hazardous materials release emergency
removal operations. Participation of officials representing
municipalities encompassing major ports and waterways is also invited
in RRT activities. State and local government agencies are encouraged
to include contingency planning for removal in all emergency and
disaster planning activities. Federal local contingency plans should
provide for coordination with local government organizations such as
county and city or town governments. This is especially important for
traffic control, land access, and disposal of oil or hazardous
materials removed in response operations.
203.2 States, industry groups, the academic community, and others
are encouraged to commit resources for removal operations. Their
specific commitments shall be outlined within federal, regional and
local contingency plans. Each OSC should explore the possibility of
concluding memoranda of understanding to delegate responsibility to
concerned states for cleanup of certain releases. Details on
reimbursement to states for removal actions taken pursuant to this Plan
are contained in separate EPA guidance addressing contracts and
cooperative agreements which are now in preparation.
-14-
-------
203.3 It is particularly important to coordinate the technical
information generated by scientists from the federal and state
governments, industry, universities, and elsewhere to assist the OSC in
developing cleanups strategies in environmentally sensitive areas; to
assist in the performance of post-release damage assessments; and to
assure that pertinent research will be undertaken to meet regional
needs. The scientific support aspect of this plan is described in
Section 504.
203.4 Federal local contingency plans should establish procedures
that will result in organized and worthwhile employment of volunteers.
Local plans should provide for the organization and direction of
volunteers by the OSC, or other federal, local, or state officials
knowledgeable in contingency operations and capable of providing
leadership. Local plans should also identify specific areas in which
volunteers can be used, such as beach surveillance, logistical support,
bird, and wildlife treatment, and scientific investigations. Normally,
volunteers should not be used for physical removal of oil or hazardous
materials. If a substance is toxic to humans, or if in the judgment of
the OSC other dangerous conditions exist, volunteers shall not be
permitted at on-scene operations. During contingency plan operations,
information on release and removal efforts should be provided to
volunteers frequently to ensure a coordinated effort and a sense of
meaningful participation.
204 Multinational Responsibility
204.1 As waters of the Great Lakes system are of mutual interest to
the United States and Canada, it was agreed that there was a need to
arrange for the development of a coordinated international contingency
plan so that both countries may quickly and effectively respond to
major accidental spills of oil or other hazardous substances.
204.2 The Joint Canada-United States Marine Pollution Contingency
Plan has been developed and is applicable whenever a pollution incident
may affect both nations or, although directly affecting one nation is
of such a magnitude as to justify a call on the other for assistance.
It is intended to improve the posture and capability of each nation by
providing a command structure and an established method of operation.

300 PLANNING AND RESPONSE ORGANIZATION
301 Emergency Response Activities and Coordination
301.1 For most oil or hazardous materials release emergency
response activities in Region V, initial on-site activities are
conducted by appropriate state personnel. Federal on-scene
coordination is accomplished through the OSC, when necessary, to
support state responses or for major incidents. The OSC reports to,
and receives advice from an RRT composed of appropriate representatives
from the regional and district offices of the participating agencies
and state and local governements.
301.2 The predesignated federal OSCs for spills occurring within
the boundaries of the federal Region V applicable to this Regional Plan
are located at the Spills Response Section, EPA, Chicago, Illinois and
include:
Robert Bowden
Charles Castle
George Madany
William Simes
Ronnie Lillich
Ross Powers (located at Grosse lie, Michigan)
Daniel Papcke (located at Westlake, Ohio)
Joseph Fredle (located at Westlake, Ohio)
The predesignated OSCs can be contacted at the Regional Response Center
in Chicago by calling (312) 353-2318.
The United States Coast Guard 2nd District Offices provide
predesignated OSCs through Captain of the Port offices located in major
port areas on the Ohio River and Mississippi River. The United States
Coast Guard 9th District Offices provides predesignated OSCs through
the Captain of Ports Offices located in major ports of the Great Lakes.
Specific USCG area of predesignation in Region V are addressed in
section 306.2 of this Regional Plan.
301.3 National level coordination is accomplished through the NRT,
which receives reports from and renders advice to the RRT.
301.4 The organizational concepts of this Plan are shown in Figure

-------
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 release and for coordination
and advice during a pollution emergency. It shall be organized and
shall function as outlined in Subpart C of the National Plan.
302.2 The NRT shall consider revisions to the National Contingency
Plan.
302.3 Based on 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.
302.4 During oil or hazardous materials incident responses, the NRT
shall act as an emergency response team to be activated in the event of
a release involving oil or hazardous materials 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 also be called
out, upon request, by any primary agency representative. Each
representative, or an appropriate alternate, shall be notified by
telephone of activation of the NRT. The NCP gives NRT authority to
recommend response actions to the OSC through the RRT.
303 National Response Center
303.1 The NRC, located at Headquarters, USCG, is the Washington,
D.C., headquarter's site for activities relative to oil or hazardous
materials release emergencies. NRC Headquarters, described in subpart
C of the National Plan, provides communications, including a
continuously-manned communcation center, information storage, and
necessary personnel and facilities to promote the smooth and adequate
functioning of this activity. The NRC maintains the basic national
reporting service for notifications and relays these reports to
appropriate states and EPA and USCG district or regional offices.
-18-
-------
304 Regional Response Team
304.1 The RRT serves as the regional body for planning and
preparedness actions before an oil or hazardous materials release. The
RRT consists of regional representatives of the participating agencies
and state and local government representatives, as appropriate. The
full participation of high-level representation from state and local
governments with major ports and waterways is desired.
304.2 The representatives of EPA and USC6 shall act as chairman of
the Inland RRT and Coastal RRT, respectively.
304.3 Each participating federal agency shall designate one member
and a minimum of one alternate member to the RRT. Participating state
and local municipalities should also designate one member and a minimum
of one alternate member to the team. Agencies may also provide
additional representatives as observers to meetings of the RRT.
Persons representing the participating agencies may vary depending on
the subregional area in which the release occurred or on whether
removal actions are underway. Details of such representation are
specified in the Regional Response Team Directory and briefly in Annex
II of the Regional Plan.
304.4 RRT members shall designate representatives of their agencies
to work with OSCs to develop local plans, to plan for the use of agency
resources located within the OSC's area of responsibility, and to
respond to oil and hazardous materials incidents.
304.5 Each of the states within EPA-Region V is encouraged to
participate actively in all RRT activities and to designate
representatives to work with the OSCs to develop regional and local
plans and to plan use of the state resources located within the OSC's
area of responsibility. When the RRT is activated for an oil or
hazardous materials emergency, the affected state or states are invited
to participate in all RRT deliberations. Any state or local government
that participates in the RRT has the same status as any federal member
of the RRT.
304.6 The Chairman of the RRT shall ensure that the provisions of
this Plan are adequate to provide the OSC with appropriate technical
and professional assistance from participating agencies commensurate
with the agencies' resources, capabilities and responsibilities within
the region. During an oil or hazardous materials emergency, the
members of the RRT shall.ensure that the resources of their respective
agencies are made available to the OSC.
-19-
-------
304.7 When not activated for an oil or hazardous materials release
response, the RRT serves as a standing committee to recommend needed
policy changes in the regional response organization, to revise the
regional plan as needed, and to evaluate the preparedness of the
agencies and effectiveness of local plans for coping with oil or
hazardous materials releases. The RRT shall:
or
(1) Maintain a continuing review of regional and local oil
hazardous materials response operations and equipment readiness to

(3) Develop procedures to promote the coordination of
federal, state, and local governments, and private agencies to respond
to oil or hazardous materials incidents;
(4) Consider necessary changes in policy on the basis of
continuing evaluation of regional response actions taken in combating
releases of oil and hazardous materials;
(5) Maintain a continuing surveillance of incoming reports
from all OSCs and activate the RRT when appropriate;
(6) Meet at least annually to review oil or hazardous
materials response actions of the preceding period, receive reports on
revisions, review local plans and consider amendments to the regional
plan;
(7) Provide letter reports outlining its activities as a
mechanism for rapidly identifying techniques and procedures that have
worked well and should be passed on to other RRTs. The reports will
also serve to identify those practices that need improvement. Reports
will be submitted to the Regional RRT members and to the Chairman of
the NRT not later than January 31. As a minimum, reports will contain
paragraphs addressing:
(a) Summary of Activities. This section will
contain a synopsis of fh~ehighlights of routine meetings and
activations which have occurred since the last report.
-20-
-------
(b) Organizational Matters. This paragraph will
outline organizational improvements that have have been made since the
last report. Any organizational matters that are considered to require
NRT action should also be addressed. RRTs are encouraged to submit
enclosures which detail procedures that have worked exceptionally well
so that these may be transmitted to other RRTs for possible adoption.
(c) Operations. This section will include
recommendations, comments, or observations concerning response methods,
equipment, training, or other operational matters which have not been
addressed in the review of OSC reports.
304.8 The RRT shall act as an emergency response team to be
activated in the event of a release involving oil or hazardous
materials which (1) meets the definition of a Major Release ]105.16
(3)]; (2) exceeds the response capability available to the OSC within
the locale in which it occurs; (3) transects regional boundaries; (4)
involves significant numbers of persons or regionally significant
amounts of property; or (5) when requested by any representative to the
RRT.
304.9 The RRT shall be notified by the EPA duty officer auto-
matically in the event of a major or potential major release. The RRT
may be activated during any other emergency by an oral request from any
RRT representative to the chairman of the team. Each representative,
or an appropriate alternate, shall be notified immediately by telephone
of activation of the RRT. Requests for team activation, shall be
confirmed in writing. The time of team activation method of activation
(e.g., telephone notification or assembly), place of assembly (if
appropriate), and means of contact shall be included in POLREPS
submitted in accordance with part 304.10 (5).
304.10 When activated during an oil or hazardous materials release
response, agency representatives shall meet at the call of the chairman
which can be requested by any member of the RRT, and may:
(1) Monitor and evaluate reports from the OSC ensuring their
completeness. The RRT shall advise the OSC on duration and extent of
the federal response and may recommend specific courses of action in
combating the release for consideration by the OSC.
(2) Request other federal, state, local government, or
private agencies to consider taking action under their existing
authorities to provide the resources necessary for combating a release
or deployment of personnel to monitor response operations.
-21-
-------
(3) Help the OSC in preparing public information releases
and in transferring information between the OSC and the Washington,
D.C., Headquarters of the agencies concerned so as to minimize or
prevent dissemination of spurious and incomplete information. Public
information actions are discussed in Annex VI.
(4) Advise the regional head of the agency providing the OSC
if a shift of on-scene coordination from the predesignated OSC to
another OSC is indicated by the circumstances or progress of an oil or
hazardous material release.
(5) Submit POLREPS (Pollution Reports) to the NRC in a
timely manner as developments occur and not later than 1600 local time
on each day of the operation.
304.11 If any member of the RRT dissents from a decision of the RRT
on a discretionary action pursuant to the plan, or an interpretation of
the plan, that member may appeal that decision to the NRT. The
dissenting member shall notify the Chairman of the RRT of its appeal.
304.12 Deactivation of the RRT shall be by agreement between EPA and
participating team members. The time of deactivation shall be included
in POLREPS.
304.13 Boundaries of the standard federal regions shall be followed
for development of the Regional Contingency Plan. Boundaries for local
contingency plans shall coincide with those agreed upon between EPA and
the USCG in determining OSC areas of responsibility (see Annex IV of
this Plan).
305 Regional Response Center
305.1 For oil or hazardous materials control activities under this
Plan, the Regional Response Center is accommodated at the Environmental
Protection Agency Region V office in Chicago, Illinois. The Regional
Response Center is accommodated in quarters described in Annex III of
this Plan and provides communications, information storage and other
necessary personnel and facilities to promote the proper functioning
and administration of this Plan.
306 On-Scene Coordinator
306.1 The OSC shall coordinate and direct federal oil or hazardous
materials control efforts at the scene of a release or potential
release of oil or hazardous materials described in the NCP section
300.33.2. EPA-Region V OSCs have been predesignated in section 301.2
of this Plan.
-22-
-------
(1) In the event of a release of oil or hazardous materials,
the first official on the site from an agency having responsibility
under this Plan shall assume coordination of activities under this Plan
until the arrival of the predesignated OSC.
(2) The OSC shall determine facts about a release, such as
its potential impact on human health and welfare; the nature, amount,
and location of material released; the probable 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, as described in Subparts E & F
of the NCP, and consistent with other responsibilities shall coordinate
with agency representatives on-scene who are carrying out their agency
responsibilities.
Advice provided by DOI through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service or by
DOC through the National Marine Fisheries Service on the cleanup of
releases that affect or have the potential of affecting endangered
species, shall be binding on the OSC unless, in the judgment of the
OSC, other actions are required to prevent or substantially reduce
hazard to human life or substantially reduce explosion or fire hazard
to property.
(4) The OSC shall call upon and direct the deployment of
needed resources in accordance with this Plan to evaluate the magnitude
of the release and to initiate and continue removal operations.
(5) The OSC shall provide necessary support and
documentation for Phase V activities.
(6) In carrying out this Plan, the OSC will fully inform and
coordinate closely with the RRT to ensure the maximum effectiveness of
the federal effort in protecting the natural resources and the
environment from oil or hazardous materials damage.
306.2 EPA and the USCG shall ensure that OSCs are predesignated for
all areas within the region.
(1) The EPA is responsible for furnishing or providing
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 COTP shall serve as pre-designated OSC under
this plan in the following circumstances:
-23-
-------
(a) The USCG Ninth District is assigned the
responsibility to provide OSCs for the open waters of the Great Lakes
including Lake St. Clair, the interconnecting rivers, major bays, ports
and harbors. As this is the coastal regional area of Region V, a more
detailed description of the area of responsibility is included in Annex
IV Section 1409.
(b) The U.S. Coast Guard Second District is assigned
the responsibility to provide OSCs for several rivers and river port
areas according to agreements reached with EPA Region V.
(See Annex IV, Sec. 1408, on Second Coast Guard District OSC
Boundaries.) River areas not covered in Section 1408 fall under EPA
authority relative to OSCs but Coast Guard assistance can be requested
if its personnel and equipment are available.
(c) Certain significant marine/maritime incidents on
commercially navigable waters within Region V which involve Coast Guard
regulated waterfront facilities, Coast Guard inspected vessels, or that
impact on port safety responsibilities or vessel inspection activities
of the Coast Guard under the Ports and Waterways Safety Act, and
Federal Vessel Inspection Statutes. All such incidents shall be
rapidly evaluated by the Coast Guard Captain of the Port for a
determination of whether the incident falls within this section.
(3) The major consideration in selection of the OSC shall be
based upon that agency's capability and resources for oil and hazardous
materials release control response activities and the individual 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 oil
or hazardous materials releases. All federal agencies are, therefore,
responsible for designating the offices to coordinate response actions
for facilities or vessels under their jurisdiction and for the
provision of means to remove or mitigate the effects of releases 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 release occurs, assume the OSC functions. Oil or
hazardous materials release control actions taken must be in accordance
with federal regulations and guidelines and this Plan.
306.4 The OSC is responsible for developing and maintaining a local
contingency plan for the OSC's area.
-24-
-------
307 Special Forces
307.1 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 dictates. When possible, the NSF
will provide training to the Emergency Task Forces and participate with
the Regional Response Team in regional and local contingency plan
development.
The Strike Teams established by the U.S. Coast Guard are able to
provide communications support, advice, and assistance for oil and
hazardous materials removal. These teams include expertise in ship
salvage, damage control, diving, and removal techniques and
methodology. In addition, they are equipped with specialized
containment and removal equipment and have rapid transportation
available.
307.2 The Environmental Response Team was established to advise the
OSC and RRT on environmental issues surrounding spill containment and
removal and environmental assessment. The ERT has two components which
are described briefly below:
(1) Operations Support provides advice on spill containment
and cleanup including: application of dispersants, habitat
restoration, cleanup technique and priorities, disposal of contaminated
material, water supply contamination, and special considerations
pertaining to hazardous materials.
(2) Scientific Support provides scientific support
assistance including: trajectory analysis, chemical analysis, location
of environmentally sensitive regions, assessment of environmental
damage, and coordination of on-scene scientific activity.
-25-
-------
400 OPERATIONS - RESPONSE PHASES
401 Phase Groupings
401.1 Actions taken in response to oil or hazardous
materials releases involving immediate removals 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. These actions are described in the NCP subpart F in
sections 300.63, 300.64, 300.65 and 300.69. More complex
incidents may require interface with planned or remedial
actions as described in the NCP sections 300.66 through
300.68.
402 Phase I - Discovery and Notification
402.1 A release may be discovered through: (1) a report
submitted by a releaser 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 releaser, 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 release
will be reported directly to the NRC. Reports from random
discovery may be initially through fishing or pleasure boats,
police or fire departments, port authorities, telephone
operators, news media, or others. Reports generated by random
discovery should be reported to the NRC or nearest USCG or
EPA office. Regional plans provide for such reports to the
NRC, RRC, and state agency as promptly as possible to
facilitate effective response action. Reports of major
releases received by either EPA or USCG shall be
expeditiously relayed by telephone to the appropriate members
of the RRT as specified by the Regional Contingency Plan.
Reports of minor releases shall be exchanged between EPA and
USCG as agreed to by the two agencies.
402.3 The agency furnishing the OSC for a particular area
is assigned responsibility for implementing the Phase I
activities in that area.
-26-
-------
403 Phase II - Evaluation and Initiation of Action
403.1 The OSC shall insure that a report of a release or
potential release is immediately referred to the appropriate
state agency for initial response. Based on all available
information, the initial responder shall (1) evaluate the
magnitude and severity of the release; (2) determine the
feasibility of removal; (3) assess the effectiveness of
removal actions, and (4) request supporting resources as
necessary.
403.2 The state or federal OSC shall, when appropriate
and as soon as possible after receipt of 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.
403.3 The state or federal OSC shall insure that adequate
surveillance is maintained to determine the 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 take necessary action to remove and dispose of
the oil or hazardous material.
403.4 If the releaser is unknown or otherwise unavailable,
the OSC shall proceed with removal actions.
403.5 If the release is from a facility permitted by the
NPDES or a state PDES the OSC shall determine if permit
conditions have been violated. If the release is from a
facility which has no NPDES or SPDES permit, the OSC shall
determine such a permit is required. If the OSC determines
that a permit violation has occurred or required permit has
not been applied for, the Chief, Water Quality Branch, Water
Division USEPA shall be notified.
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 release or a
potential release. These actions may include public health
and welfare protective activities such as analyzing samples to
determine source control procedures, compatibility testing,
salvage operations, placement of physical barriers to halt or
-27-
-------
slow the spread of an oil or hazardous material,
recontainerization, neutralization or other treatment,
control of the water release from upstream impoundments, and
the employment of chemicals and other materials specifically
to restrain the oil or hazardous material and its effects on
the environment.
405 Phase IV - Cleanup, Mitigation and Disposal
405.1 This includes actions taken to recover the oil or
hazardous material, 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 oil or
hazardous materials; the use of vacuum dredges or other
devices for sunken oil or hazardous materials; the use of
reaeration or other methods to minimize or mitigate damage
resulting from dissolved, suspended or emulsified oil or
hazardous materials; or special treatment techniques to
protect public water supplies or fish and wildlife resources
from continuing damage.
405.2 Oil or hazardous materials that are recovered in
cleanup operations shall be disposed of in accordance with
procedures agreed to in state or local contingency plans.
406 Phase V- Documentation and Cost Recovery
406.1 This includes a variety of activities, depending on
the location and circumstances surrounding a particular
release. Recovery of federal removal costs and recovery for
damage done to federal, state, or local government property is
included. Damages to private citizens are not dealt with in
this Plan. The agency furnishing the OSC shall provide the
RRC with documentation required by the appropriate fund
administration to recover costs from responsible parties.
Procedures to be followed to fulfill documentation
requirements are specified in EPA and USCG directives. The
collection of scientific and technical information of value to
the scientific community as a basis for research and
development activities and for 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. (Annex VIII)
407 Special Considerations
407.1 Safety of Personnel. Actual or potential releases
of oil or hazardous materials that could have an imminent and
substantial effect on the atmosphere, water, or land can pose
-28-
-------
serious hazards to personnel health and safety. The OSC
should be aware of this hazard and should exercise caution in
allowing civilian or government personnel into the affected
area until the nature of the substance released is known.
Local contingency plans shall identify sources of information
on anticipated hazards, precautions, and requirements to
protect personnel during response operations. Names and phone
numbers of people with relevant information shall be included.
Responsibility for the safety of all Federal employees rests
with the heads of their agencies. Accordingly, each Federal
employee on the scene must be apprised of and conform with
OSHA regulations and other deemed necessary by the OSC. All
private contractors who are working on-site must conform to
applicable provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health
Act and standards deemed necessary by the OSC.
407.2 Waterfowl Conservation. Oil and hazardous
substance releases, particularly in estuarine and near shore
areas, often cause severe stress to resident and migratory
bird species. The DOI representatives and state liaison to
the RRT shall arrange for and coordinate actions of
professional and volunteer groups that wish to establish bird
collections, cleaning, and recovery centers. For specific
instructions on bird conservation or cleaning operations,
consult specialists in the U.S. DOI Fish and Wildlife
Service. Organizations that are willing to participate in such
activities and update such facilities are listed in Annex XI.
-29-
-------
500 COORDINATING INSTRUCTIONS
501 Delegation of Authority
501.1 State response personnel acting on scene at a
release are considered to be performing the federal overview
and management role as well as complying with the respective
state statutory requirements. Operational details of
state/federal response coordination and communications are
covered in detail in EPA-Region V Oil and Hazardous Materials
Response Manual.
502 Notification
502.1 All releases or potential releases of oil or

ANNEX V
1500 NOTIFICATION
1501 General: Initial incident notifications are commonly
received by phone by NRC, EPA, Spill Response, or State Emergency
Response 24-hour numbers. Until notifications are received at one or
more of these response centers, the regional system does not function.
Under CERCLA, the responsible party is required to notify NRC which in
turn notifies EPA, USCG and the appropriate state.
The requirements for notification and reporting of releases within the
regional response system 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 environmental use areas.
Considering the degree of severity, the release should be classified as
either a minor, medium, or major release.
Figure V-I shows 24 hour notification numbers for the lead agencies
within Region V.
1502 Notification Requirements
1502.1 Initial notification is normally accomplished by telephone
message. Supporting information and details are provided by POLREP
format teletype messages or spill report form transmittals by regular
mail. Normally, the agencies receiving initial notifications receive
all subsequent transmittals pertaining to the case. All incident
notifications received by either EPA or the state response program
offices are logged on a notification form similar in content to the EPA
form on the following page. The initial response to the notification
is to refer all releases immediately to the State Response Unit
Director, or his Duty Office, to permit the state program to respond
and/or direct activities on scene. Routine critical review and
feedback by all regional response organizations of all incidents serves
to rapidly address even minor deficiencies in the subjective evaluation
of which groups should be notified for specific incidents.

-------
1502.2 Minor Spills: The notified agency duty officer should report
all minor spills to the Regional Response Center. This may be accom-
plished by prompt telephone messages supplemented by monthly summary
reports or solely by the monthly summaries. Summaries of minor spill
reports will be made on a quarterly basis and transmitted to the EPA
Emergency Response Division (ERD), state agencies and other interested
parties. Local government and public safety officials are notified as
appropriate.
1502.3 Medium Spills: The notified agency should report all medium
spills to the Regional Response Center. This should be accomplished as
soon as practicable by teletype message or telephone. Transmittal of
medium spills reports should be made in POLREP format to NRC and ERD on
a continuing basis. Further notice to involved or interested parties
will be accomplished by the EPA Regional Response Center as indicated
by the situation.
1502.4 Major Spills: The notified agency should immediately report
all major or potential major spills to the Regional 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 NRT and ERD by teletype message.
1503 National Level Telephonic Notification
1503.1 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 1514.2.
1504 Regional Response Team Notification
1504.1 Telephonic notification of all reports of a major or
potential major release and all oil or hazardous materials 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 communication channels upon learning
of the details of the release through the normal alerting procedures
for the region. Any member of the RRT may activate the RRT upon
AV-4
-------
examination of the release details. Members may elect to assemble at
the RRC, the site of the spill or any other mutually agreeable loca-
tion. Telephone contact numbers of the RRT are included in the Re-
gional Response Team Directory.
1504.2 The RRT consists of representatives of the participating
agencies and state and local governments, as appropriate. For adminis-
trative purposes, the representative of the EPA will act as Chairman
and the representative of the Coast Guard will act as Executive Secret-
ary. On spill incidents occuring in Coast Guard OSC territory, the RRT
would be chaired by a Coast Guard representative; on incidents in EPA
territory, the RRT would be chaired by an EPA representative. Where an
agency has more than one member listed on the RRT, the location and
circumstances of a release 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 ap-
propriate, the advice and counsel of other persons from his own agency
and other federal, state, local and private agencies.
1504.3 The planning and preparedness functions of the team are out-
lined in Section 304.6.
1504.4 Response functions would be performed any time the team is
activated. The degree of response and, therefore, the extent of the
RRT activity would depend on the particular situation. Specific func-
tions of the RRT are outlined in Section 304.9 and 10.
1504.5 The RRC is the Regional Headquarters site for activities
relative to oil or hazardous material emergency situations. The RRC is
located at the Environmental Proection Agency-Region V, Environmental
Services Division, 536 S. Clark St., Chicago, Illinois 60605.
1504.6 The RRC will provide communications facilities, access to
charts, technical publications, computer storage and retrieval, and
other necessary physical facilities.
1505 Coordinated Response
1505.1 For release incidents which exceed the capabilities of the
region or transect the regional boundaries, communications will be es-
tablished and maintained with the National Response Center (NRC) and
appropriate RRC of the region which may be affected by an incident in
Region V.
AV-5
-------
1506 General Alerting Procedure
1506.1 The predesignated OSCs will be notified through the general
alerting procedure for Region V. This procedure is graphically
illustrated in Figure A-V-1. All spills should be immediately reported
to the U.S. Coast Guard, National Response Center. If the National
Response Center is called first, the Center will notify the appropriate
COTP or the EPA. The Coast Guard COTP or the EPA will notify the
appropriate state agency. The state agency will notify immediate water
users in the probable path of the pollutants. Since the EPA District,
Corps District, and Coast Guard COTP offices are predesignated OSCs for
specific aquatic areas of the region, these offices will notify their
respective predesignated OSCs upon notification through the general
alerting procedure. Additionally, the EPA District Office will notify
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service predesignated OSC in the event that
a spill is a potential threat to a wildlife refuge. The other
participating agencies will be notified as necessary.
1506.2 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.
1506.3 The Corps of Engineers District Offices should notify lock
and dam personnel, if appropriate, of the oil or hazardous material
incident. Observations by these people may be helpful in spotting and
tracing the location of oil or hazardous materials as they move
downstream. The Division Office should also be notified.
1507 Alerting System Telephone Contacts
1507.1 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.
1508 Oil and Hazardous Materials Report Requirements
1508.1 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 1515.

GENERAL ALERTING PROCEDURE
-------
1508.2 The OSC should submit timely POLREPs to the RRC on all medium
and major spills. The RRC is responsible for keeping the RRT advised.
The RRT shall submit timely POLREPs to the NRT on major spills and
shall include the NRC as an addressee. This may be accomplished by
double-heading the OSC's POLREPs or by originating POLREPs by the RRT
or a member of the team.
1509 Administrative Report Requirements
1509.1 At the conclusion of federal activity resulting from an oil
or hazardous material incident, any OSC involved will, pursuant to
applicable instructions of his own agency, submit an administrative
report of the incident and actions taken. Copies will be furnished to
the NRT or RRT, as appropriate, together with any other information
available to the forwarding group. The NRT will then evaluate each
incident and will make appropriate recommendations.
1509.2 In addition to the report required for oil or hazardous
material incidents, any release 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.
1509.3 The primary purpose of these reports is the evaluation of
control techniques and federal response activities. Lengthy narrative
is not required for an understanding of the problems, and recommenda-
tions need not be included. Sufficient descriptive information should,
however, be included to permit full evaluation of the report.
1510 Communication and Reports - Purpose
1510.1 The communications concerning an oil or hazardous materials
release are an integral and significant part of the operations. The
same precepts govern in these instances as do other operations in which
the USCG, EPA, and other operating agencies are involved.
1511 Objectives
1511.1 The objectives of the communications and reports are:
(1) To speed the flow of information pertaining to oil or
hazardous materials releases; and,
(2) To relay advice, instructions, and reports pertaining to

ANNEX VI
1600 PUBLIC INFORMATION
1601 When a major oil or hazardous material event occurs, it is
imperative to give the public prompt, accurate information on the
nature of the release and actions underway to mitigate the damage.
Prompt disclosure of the facts helps encourage cooperation by
interested parties and to check the spread of misinformation. National
and regional administration policy and the Freedom of Information Act
both call for maximum disclosure of information.
1602 During oil or hazardous material release incidents of special
public interest, the OSC may request the assistance of a representative
from the EPA-Region V Public Affairs Office.
1603 When the Inland RRT is activated, a regional news office will
be established which will be the single source of official information
on an oil or hazardous material incident. The office will be staffed
through the EPA-Region V Public Affairs Office or EPA or USCG Public
Information Assistance Team (PIAT). Any participating agency may, by
request to the RRT, place a representative on the staff of the news
office. The OSC shall determine location of the regional news office,
but every effort should be made to locate it near the scene of the oil
or hazardous material incident.
1603.1 Details of communication, public affairs support and regional
news office functions are outlined in 300.35 of the National Plan.
1604 During a major oil or hazardous material incident or
threatened incident, the Region V Public Affairs Office (312/353-2075)
is kept fully advised of response status in POLREP format reports and
through communications with RRC staff and is prepared to answer all
routine inquiries.

ANNEX VIII
1800 DOCUMENTATION FOR ENFORCEMENT AND COST RECOVERY
1801 Introduction
1801.1 The OSC in charge at the scene of a release may be from any
one of several agencies; it is necessary, therefore, to establish
uniform procedures for notification of counsel and collection of
samples and information consistent with the several phases in federal
response situations. Necessary information and sample collection must
be performed at the proper times during the federal involvement in a
spill for the purpose of later use in identifying the party responsible
for removal cost recovery. Time is of the great importance since wind,
tide, and current may disperse 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. Detailed guidance on preferred procedures
can be found in "Enforcement Considerations for Evaluations of
Uncontrolled Hazardous Waste Disposal Sites by Contractors," EPA, NEIC
April 1980.
1802 Notification of Counsel
1802.1 Immediately upon notification that a major release has
occurred which requires RRT participation, the RRT members shall notify
appropriate regional attorneys by the most expeditious means.
1802.2 Coordination of appropriate counsel will be affected 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 the appropriate
sections of CWA or CERCLA 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 representative of the Agency
on the RRT having cost recovery authority will then refer copies of the
oil or hazardous materials reports to his respective agency counsel.
AVIII-1
-------
1803 Legal Notice to Suspected Releaser
1803.1 The owner, operator, or other appropriate responsible person
shall be notified of federal interest and potential action in an oil or
hazardous materials release by the agency furnishing the OSC. This
notice shall include advice of the owner or operator's liability for
proper removal of the release; 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 Collection 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:
(1) Glass or other appropriate containers of suitable size
shall be used. The portion of the closure (sealing gasket of cap
liner) which may come into contact with the sample in the container is
of considerable importance. When oil or petroleum hydrocarbons are to
be sampled, the closure should be made of glass, aluminum foil or
teflon. Hazardous materials 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.
(2) Previously unused containers are preferred. Containers
that have been cleaned with a strong detergent, thoroughly rinsed, and
dried may be used.
(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 oil or hazardous material,
proper skimming techniques should be used to obtain a sufficient amount
of sample for analysis; and (c) since it is not unusual for an oil or
hazardous material condition to change rapidly, samples should be taken
promptly, and the time sequences and places noted. Samples must be
properly labeled.
AVIII-2
-------
(4) Consult with the analytical laboratory personnel rela-
tive to special samples and unusual problems.
(5) Samples collected are to be transmitted for analysis,
using special courier or registered mail (return receipt requested) and
observing the procedures outlined below. Reports of laboratory analy-
sis will be forwarded to the appropriate RRT for transmittal to coun-
sel .
1805 Photographic Records
1805.1 Photographs should be taken to show the source and the extent
of oil or hazardous material, 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 pho-
tographer and witnesses; (d) shutter speed and lens opening; and,
(3) type of film used and details of film processing.
1806 Chain of Custody Record
1806.1 All samples and other tangible evidence must be maintained in
proper custody until orders have been received from competent authority
directing their disposition. Precautions should be taken to protect
the samples from breakage, fire, altering, and tampering. It is impor-
tant 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 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. l-EPA-3500-5-1 may be used. EPA Regional ENSV procedures for
sample collection, transport and custody are to be used for all samples
submitted to the Central Regional Laboratory EPA Region V, 536 S. Clark
St., Chicago, Illinois 60605.
1807 Oil or Hazardous Materials Release Report
1807.1 The appropriate information for each oil or hazardous
material release should be obtained by the OSC and reported in the
appropriate format established by the Emergency Response Division,
Washington, D.C. Statements of witnesses, photographs, analyses of
samples, and related documentation will be retained by the OSC for pos-
sible use in enforcement actions. In all major spills, the oil or haz-
ardous material incident report should be completed and forwarded to
the RRT Chairman.

resources to provide immediate assistance as requested by the OSC
during federal spill containment and cleanup operations, with later
anticipated reimbursement from the Oil or Hazardous Materials
Contingency Fund.
AIX-8
-------
ANNEX X
2000 CLEANUP TECHNIQUES AND POLICIES
2001 Guidelines
2001.1 Use of chemicals and other additives to remove oil and
hazardous substances is discussed in 300.81 of the National
Plan. EPA has determined that its experience with
dispersants and other chemicals in oil spills is not yet
sufficient to support preparation of a schedule to permit
routine usage. EPA has accepted a limited number of chemical
and biological agents which the OSC is authorized to consider
for use under paragraph 300.81 of the NCP on a case by case
basis. These agents are listed in Table A-X-1.
2001.2 Cleanup effectiveness is directly related to the time
interval between occurrence of a spill and commencement of
cleanup operations. The longer it takes to contain a spill,
the costlier is the cleanup.
2001.3 The discharger should use to the maximum extent
possible mechanical methods and sorbents for the most
effective and expeditious control and removal of oil and
hazardous materials.
2001.4 "Mechanical removal" means the use of pumps, skimmers,
booms, earth-moving equipment, and other mechanical devices to
contain the released oil or hazardous materials and to recover
the released materials from the environmental media to which
it was released.
2001.5 The removal of certain hazardous materials may be
achieved using an EPA mobile water treatment system -
Emergency Environmental Response Unit (EERU). Requests are
directed through the RRC to EPA Headquarters, Emergency
Response Division, Office of Emergency and Remedial Response
(FTS 245-3057).
2001.6 "Sorbent" means materials essentially inert and
insoluble used to remove oil and hazardous materials from
water or land through a variety of sorption mechanisms.
Examples include: straw, expanded pearlite, polyurethane
foams, reclaimed paper fibers, and peat moss.
2001.7 The OSC is authorized to deny or require the use of
specific mechanical methods and sorbents.
2001.8 Harmful effects of oil and hazardous materials
deposited in marsh or swamp or on land areas may be difficult
AX-1
-------
to mitigate by either physical removal or dispersion.
Consequently, high priority should be given to the protection
of these areas from contamination by means of containment
booms and sorbent materials.
2001.9 Waterfowl and other wildlife must be protected from
the effects of oil and hazardous materials. Defensive booms
or barriers should be immediately implemented to protect
wildlife. Methods to ward off or "scare" waterfowl and
wildlife may be used with the advice of the DOI.
2002 Disposal
2002.1 The preferred method for disposal of recovered oil is
reclamation.
2002.2 If reclamation is not feasible, contaminated sorbent
and oil-soaked debris should be incinerated if they are
combustible. Such burning must be approved by state and local
authorities. Burning in permanent municipal or industrial
incinerators is preferred over burning in on-site temporary
facilities. In all cases, the techniques used should be
approved by the EPA Regional Administrator.
2002.3 The recovered oil may be considered for land
application after the suitability of the site has been
determined. Factors which should be considered are:
climatological conditions, surface water runoff patterns,
site location, soil characteristics, and toxicity of the oil.
2002.4 With heavier oils, non-combustible sorbents or
sorbents which emit noxious fumes upon burning, or when land
application is not feasible, disposal by burying may be
employed after prior permission of local and state
authorities, utilizing techniques approved by the EPA
Regional Administrator.
2002.5 The preferred method for disposal of recovered
hazardous materials is reclamation.
2002.6 If reclamation is not feasible, disposal actions
should be determined on a case-by-case basis through the RRC
or RRT and state and local authorities.

ANNEX XI
2100 ARRANGEMENTS FOR PARTICIPATION OF NONFEDERAL GROUPS
2101 Policy
2101.1 The policy of the federal government is to initiate
discharge removal operations when required and action is not
being taken by the responsible parties. State and local
government agencies and private interests are encouraged to
participate in contingency planning and pollution response.
2101.2 State agencies are considered as full participating
members of the RRT. The designated state agencies are
invited to attend and provide input to all RRT planning
meetings. Upon a potential or actual major, medium or minor
oil or hazardous material release, the threatened or impacted
state is immediately notified. For names and telephone
numbers contact the EPA duty officer at 312/353-2318 or see
the Regional Response Team Directory.
2101.3 Local governmental agencies have an interest and can
provide expertise in on-going pollution incidents. Local
governmental agencies are encouraged to coordinate with state
agencies and provide local pollution contingency plans for
inclusion in OSC Subregional Plans. For names and telephone
numbers see Annex XIII.
2101.4 In many cases of pollution response, private
organizations or individuals will volunteer to aid in
mitigating effects of a pollution discharge. The OSC must be
cognizant of the presence of any volunteers at the scene of a
discharge. The OSC has ultimate discretion in dealing with
and controlling various factions of volunteers.
2101.5 The overall responsibility of the Department of
Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, is to provide the
OSC with recommendations for protection of fish and wildlife
resources, including migratory birds, endangered and
threatened species and associated habitats. These
recommendations are coordinated with respective state wildlife
conservation agencies to insure protection of all wildlife
resources for that particular area.
2101.6 Endangered and Threatened Species . The
pr edesignated OSC shall, through the USFWS Regional
Pollution Response Coordinator (RPRC) or designated Field
Response Coordinator (FRO, provide the OSC with a list of
endangered and threatened species, recommendations for
AXI-1
-------
protection of designated critical habitat, and other areas of
particular environmental vulnerability. Additionally, the
OSC should consult with particular state wildlife agencies
for listing and protection of state endangered wildlife
species.
2101.7 Waterfowl Protection. The contamination of
waterfowl by oil has a high public impact which must be
recognized by the OSC and the members of the RRT. Public
interest inquiries, criticism, and demands for cleaning of
affected birds can seriously hamper the OSC's ability to
contain and remove the oil. Early inspection of impacted or
potentially impacted areas known to be waterfowl habitat shall
be made by the OSC, and at the first sign of waterfowl
involvement or probable involvement, the OSC should contact
the Department of Interior Regional Pollution Response
Coordinator and request that he organize and oversee the water
fowl protection efforts. For large-scale bird contamination,
the OSC should request activation of the RRT for assistance
in this area. The Department of Interior, U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, shall initiate and coordinate actions of
professional and volunteer groups by establishing bird
collection, cleaning and recovery centers.

2101.11 Preferable to rehabilitation of oiled birds, both
environmentally and economically, is their removal from a
release or potential release area and/or discouraging their
entering a release area. Harrassment techniques listed below
have proven useful in localized critical areas.
(a) Propane cannons.
(b) Aerial explosives.
(c) High-speed small boats.
(d) Helium balloons attached to booms.
(e) The flying of kites with a silhouette
of a peregrine falcon.
Also effective is the use of baited areas that are free of oil
or hazardous substances and will not become polluted. The
employment of harassment and baiting techniques provides and
opportunity for the useful involvement of large numbers of
volunteers requiring minimum supervision. This opportunity
should be exploited by the OSC and/or Fish and Wildlife
representative and/or state fish and game representative.
2101.12 Funding
(a) Reference: Federal Register, Vol.
41 pages 12632-12634, 33 CFR 153.401.
(b) The pollution Fund pursuant to Section
311 (k) of the FWPCA may be used for
waterfowl conservation needs provided
they are determined to be Phase IV
response actions. Conditions for
pollution fund usage are detailed in

health and conservation department, coordinated by the state
representative on the RRT, shall coordinate wildlife
preservation measures for non-migratory animals. When
necessary, the closing of areas of commercial fish and
shellfish harvest due to health hazards as the result of a
discharge will be accomplished by the state representative.
2101.15 Public Relations. The appropriate Regional Public
Affairs Officer with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service should
assist the OSC in providing the media with timely, accurate
information about the release insofar as the information
relates to protection of fish and wildlife resources and
related habitats.

ANNEX XIII
2300 STATE CONTINGENCY PLANS
INTRODUCTION
Each state within standard federal Region V comprises a
subregional unit for purposes of contingency planning.
Within the bounds of each unit, several different groups are
involved in various aspects of emergency response and
planning, including:
1. State and local governmental agencies
2. Federal agencies
3. Conservation organizations
4. Industrial firms, associations, and
cooperatives
Many of the above groups have prepared individual contingency
plans which may vary in scope from broad statewide concerns
to protection of a single resource, such as a particular river
basin or waterfowl habitat. Information contained in these
documents and other sources pertinent to subregional
contingency planning could not be included in the Region V
Plan without causing it to become unwieldy in size and
difficult to maintain in updated form. Consequently, this
Annex has been prepared as a concise emergency contacts
reference source.
Each subregional unit contains only information selected to
meet the emergency needs of the OSC and RRT in the field.
Other spill management information is retained in the RRC
where it is organized for rapid processing of information
requests from the OSC and RRT. Under this system the RRC
library and files are important extensions of the Region V
Contingency Plan.
