                            100  INTRODUCTION
101  Background

101.1  The development of a national awareness and concern over the
hazards and damages to water-related resources from oil pollution can be
traced in large part to the sinking of the tanker, TORREY CANYON.  This
marine casualty off the south coast of England caused a massive oil dis-
charge with a tragic destruction of water-related resources along both
the English and French coasts.  But more importantly, it galvanized the
United States into action and caused us to assess our own capabilities
to cope with massive discharges of oil and other hazardous substances.

     101.1-1  The Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of
     Transportation documented our unpreparedness to deal with a
     catastrophic oil discharge and clearly pointed to many areas
     of needed Federal action in a report, "Oil Pollution - A
     Report to the President" (February 1968).  Regarding con-
     tingency planning, the report stated, "Such planning must be
     done at the local level to cope with smaller spills, and at
     the regional and national levels to cope with major spills
     and catastrophes.  The'contingency plans must take into account
     the available resources of manpower, materials and equipment,
     and technology in the light of physical  and geographic factors.
     These must be integrated into a systematic approach for con-
     trolling pollution from all spills - both large and small.
     In addition, communications among the individuals concerned
     must be established and both command and technological
     responsibility predetermined as a part of the Plan in order to
     minimize confusion, misunderstanding, and lost motion when an
     emergency arises	"

101.2  Public Law 91-224, 91st Congress, indicated that	"The President
shall prepare and publish a National Contingency Plan for removal of
oil	"  "Such	Plan shall provide for efficient, coordinated and ef-
fective action to minimize damage from oil discharges	"  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 coordina-
ted and integrated response by departments and agencies of the Federal
Government to protect the environment from the damaging effect of pollution
discharges.  It promotes the coordination and direction of Federal, State
and local response systems and encourages the development of local govern-
ment and private capabilities to handle such discharges.

     102.1-1  The guidelines contained herein are by no means complete
     and must be considered subject to continual  review and revision.
     Revised sections and annexes will be provided in January and
     July of each year.

102.2  The objectives of this Plan are:  to provide for efficient, coordi-
nated and effective action to minimize damage from oil and hazardous sub-
stance discharges, including containment and removal.  The Plan provides
for:  (a) assignment of duties and responsibilities; (b) establishment  and
identification of emergency task forces; (c) a system of notification,  sur-
veillance and reporting; (d) establishment of a Regional Response Center
to coordinate and direct operations in carrying out this Plan; (e) a
schedule of dispersants and other chemicals to treat oil spills; (f) enforce-
ment and investigative procedures to be followed; (g) directions on public
information releases and (h) instructions covering on-scene coordination.
103.1  This Plan will be effective for all navigable waters in the region
inland from the intracoastal canal.

                    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 into or upon the navigable
waters of the United States, adjoining shorelines, or into or upon the
waters of the contiguous zone.

201.2  The primary thrust of this Plan is to provide a Federal response
capability at the regional level.  The On-Scene Coordinator (OSC) shall
determine if the person responsible for the discharge of oil or other
hazardous polluting substances has reported the discharge in accordance
with Section 11(b)(4) or Section 12(c) of the Act, and is taking adequate
action.  When such person is taking adequate action, the principal thrust
of Federal activities shall be to observe and monitor progress and to pro-
vide advice and counsel as may be necessary.  In the event that the person
responsible for a pollution incident does not act promptly, does not take or
propose to take proper and appropriate actions to contain, clean up and dis-
pose of pollutants or the discharger is unknown, further Federal response
actions shall be instituted as required in accordance with Sections ll(c)(l)
or 12(d) of the Act.

201.3  The Federal agencies possessing facilities or other resources which
may be useful in a Federal response situation will make such facilities
or resources available for use in accordance with this Plan.  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 discharges
and their effects when they do occur.


202  Federal Responsibility

202.1  Each of the Primary and Advisory Federal Agencies has responsibilities
                                  -5-

-------
established by statute, Executive Order or Presidential  Directive, which
may bear on the Federal response to a pollution incident.   This Plan in-
tends to promote the expeditious and harmonious discharge  of these
responsibilities through the assignment of authority for action to those
Agencies having the most appropriate capability to act in  each specific
situation.  Responsibilities and authorities of these several  agencies
relevant to the control of pollution incidents are detailed in Annex VII.

202.2  The Department of Commerce, through NOAA and MarAd, provides
support to the Regional Response Team (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; design, construction and operation of merchant
ships; and maps and charts.

202.3  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.

202.4  The Department of Defense, consistent with its operational require-
ments, may provide assistance in critical pollution incidents and in the
maintenance of navigation channels, salvage, and removal of navigation
obstructions.

202.5  The Department of Interior, through the USGS, supplies expertise
in the fields of oil drilling, production, handling, and pipeline
transportation.  The Department 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.

202.6  The Department of Transportation, through the U.  S. Coast Guard,
supplies support and expertise in the fields of port safety and security,
maritime law enforcement, navigation and construction, manning operation,
and safety of vessels and marine facilities.

202.7  The Environmental Protection Agency is responsible  for chairing
the RRT and for development, revision and implementation,  as necessary, of
regional plans for those areas in which it has responsibility to furnish
or provide for the OSC.  Through the resources of the Regional Office,
EPA will provide technical expertise to RRT relative to environmental
pollution control techniques including assessment of damages and environ-
mental restoration.

202.8  The Office of Emergency Preparedness will maintain  an awareness of
pollution incidents as they develop.  The normal OEP procedures will be
followed to evaluate any request for a major disaster declaration re-
ceived from a Governor of a state.  If the President declares a major
                                    -6-

-------
disaster under P. L. 91-606 for the pollution incident, the Director, OEP,
will provide coordination and direction of the Federal response in
accordance with OEP policies and procedures.

202.9  The Department of Justice can supply expert legal advice to deal
with complicated judicial questions arising from discharges and Federal
agency responses.

202.10  The Department of State can provide leadership in developing joint
international contingency plans with Canada and Mexico in concert with the
United States.  It can also provide assistance in coordination when a
pollution incident transects international boundaries or involves foreign
flag vessels.

202.11  All Federal Agencies are responsible for minimizing the occurrence
of discharges, for developing the capability to respond promptly in cases of
discharges from facilities they operate or supervise, and for making
resources available for National discharge response operation.  Primary
Agencies, however, have the following additional responsibilities:  for lead-
ing all Federal agencies in programs to minimize the number of and environ-
mental damage associated with discharges from facilities they operate or
supervise; to develop, within their operating agencies, the capability for a
rapid, coordinated response to any discharge; for providing official
representation to RRT; for making information available as may be necessary,
and for keeping RRT informed consistent with national security considerations
of changes in the availability of resources that would affect the operation
of this Plan.


203  Non-Federal Responsibility

203.1  Each of the state and local governments having navigable waters in
this region has responsibilities established by statute and/or rules and
regulations which bear on their response to a pollution incident.  This
Plan does not intend to remove any of these responsibilities but intends to
promote the expeditious and harmonious discharge of these responsibilities
through cooperative action with Federal agencies.  Responsibilities and
authorities of agencies in the various States are detailed in Annex XX.


                    300  PLANNING AND RESPONSE ELEMENTS

301  Spill Response Activities and Coordination

301.1  For spill response activities, Federal on-scene coordination is
accomplished through a single, predesignated agent, the On-Scene
Coordinator (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.
                                   -7-

-------
301.2  National level coordination is accomplished through the National
Response Team (NRT) which receives reports from and renders advice to the
RRT.  Activities are coordinated through the National and various Regional
Response Centers.


302  Regional Response Center

302.1  The Regional Response Center (RRC) is the regional site for dis-
charge response activities.  It will be accommodated in quarters described
in Annex III and will provide communications, information storage and
other necessary personnel and facilities to promote the proper functioning
and administration of this Plan.
305  Regional Response Team

305.1  The Regional Response Team (RRT) consists of representatives of
the Primary and selected Advisory agencies.  The RRT shall act as an
emergency response team, perform review and advisory functions and shall
determine the duration and extent of the Federal response.  Any of the
Advisory Agencies, by request to the RRT, may have a representative
present when RRT is activated.

305.2  The States lying within this Region are invited to furnish one
observer to each meeting of the RRT.

305.3  Activation of the RRT shall be automatic in the event of a major
or potential major discharge.  Any Primary Agency representative on the
team may request activation during any other discharge.  Deactivation of
RRT shall be by agreement between EPA and USCG team members.

305.4  The planning and preparedness functions of the RRT are outlined
below:

     305.4-1  Develop procedures to promote the coordinated
     actions of all Federal, State, local government and
     private agencies in response to pollution incidents.

     305.4-2  Assist in the preparation of amendments to
     this Plan.

     305.4-3  Review reports from the On-Scene Coordinator
     on the handling of major discharges and pollution
     incidents for the purposes of analyzing response actions
     and recommending needed improvements in the contingency
     plans.
                                  -8-

-------
305.5  Response functions will be performed any time the team is
activated.  The degree of response and therefore the extent of the RRT
activity will depend on the particular situation.  Specific functions
of the RRT are outlined below.

    305.5-1  Monitor incoming reports and evaluate the possible
    impact of such discharges.  Maintain an awareness of pro-
    posed actions of the On-Scene Coordinator.

    305.5-2  Coordinate the actions of the various agencies in
    supplying needed assistance to the On-Scene Coordinator.
    Assistance will normally be obtained through the appropri-
    ate member of the Regional Response Team.

    305.5-3  Provide advice as required to the On-Scene
    Coordinator and recommend courses of action for considera-
    tion by the On-Scene Coordinator.  The Regional Response
    Team, however, has no direct operational control over the
    On-Scene Coordinator.

    305.5-4  Determine the nature and extent of Federal Response
    required.

    305.5-5  Recommend deployment of personnel to monitor the
    handling of the discharge.

    305.5-6  Request other agencies and groups to consider
    taking appropriate response action.

    305.5-7  Determine when a shift of on-scene coordination
    from the predesignated OSC is indicated by circumstances
    and designate the appropriate OSC.

    305.5-8  Provide a focal point for public relations.
    (See Annex VI)
306  On-Scene Coordination

306.1  Coordination and direction of Federal pollution control efforts
at the scene of a pollution incident or potential incident shall be
accomplished through the On-Scene Coordinator (OSC).  The OSC is the
single executive agent predesignated by this Plan to coordinate and
direct such pollution control activities in each area of the region.

    306.1-1  In the event of a discharge of oil  or hazardous
    polluting substance, the first responsible Federal
    official on the site shall assume coordination of activities
    under the Plan until the arrival of the predesignated OSC.
                                 -Q-

-------
    306.1-2  The OSC shall  determine pertinent facts about a
    particular discharge, such as its potential  impact on human
    health; the nature, amount, and location of material  dis-
    charged; the probable direction and time of travel of the
    material; the resources and installations which may be af-
    fected, and the priorities for protecting them.

    306.1-3  The OSC shall  initiate and direct as required
    Phase II, Phase III and Phase IV operations as hereinafter
    described.

    306.1-4  The OSC shall  call upon and direct the deployment
    of available resources  to initiate and continue containment,
    countermeasures, cleanup, restoration, and disposal functions.

    306.1-5  The OSC shall  provide necessary support activities
    and documentation for Phase V activities.

    306.1-6  In carrying out this Plan, the OSC will fully in-
    form and coordinate closely with RRT to insure the maximum
    effectiveness of the Federal effort in protecting the natural
    resources and environment from pollution damage.

306.2  The On-Scene Commanders for EPA, Region VI, will be provided from
the Regional Office of EPA, Dallas, Texas.  Information regarding  con-
tact with the OSC is included in Annex II.
307  Subregional Areas

307.1  The region has been divided into subregional  areas corresponding
to the boundaries of the States in the Region.  Annex XX indicates these
subregional areas and specific resources available in each area.
                400  RESPONSE OPERATIONS - RESPONSE PHASES

400.1  The actions taken to respond to a discharge or pollution incident
can be separated into five relatively distinct classes or phases.  For
descriptive purposes these are:  Phase I.  Discovery and Notification;
Phase II.  Containment and Countermeasures; Phase III.  Cleanup and Dis-
posal; Phase IV.  Restoration; and Phase V.  Recovery of Damages and
Enforcement.  It must be recognized that elements of any one phase may
take place concurrently with one or more other phases.


401  Phase I - Discovery and Notification

401.1  Discovery of a discharge may be by a report received from the dis-
charger in accordance with statutory requirements, through deliberate
                                 -10-

-------
discovery procedures such as vessel  patrols, aircraft searches, or
similar procedures, or through random discovery by incidental  observa-
tions of government agencies or the general  public.   Persons noting
a discharge should immediately notify the RRC.  This contact will
trigger an immediate response and notification network as outlined
in Annex V.  When a report is received from the discharger, EPA shall,
within seven working days, provide written verification of such notifi-
cation.

401.2  The severity of the discharge will determine the reporting pro-
cedure to be followed in the RRC, the participating Federal agencies to
be notified and the level of notification required.   The severity of the
discharge is determined by the nature and quantity of materials dis-
charged, the location of the discharge and the resources adjacent to the
discharge area which may be affected by it.   Annex V details alerting
procedures and communication links.   Annex XX indicates critical water
use areas and other resources in each area of the Region.
402  Phase II - Containment and Countermeasures

402.1  These are defensive actions to be initiated as soon as possible
after the discovery and notification of a discharge.  After the OSC
determines that further Federal response actions are needed and depend-
ing on the circumstances of each particular case, various actions may
be taken.  These may include public health protection activities,
source control procedures, salvage operations, placement of physical
barriers to halt or slow the spread of a pollutant, emplacement or
activation of booms or barriers to protect specific installations or
areas, control of the water discharge from upstream impoundments and
the employment of chemicals and other materials to restrain the pollutant
and its effects on water-related resources.  Surveillance activities will
be conducted as needed to support Phase II and Phase III actions.

402.2  In order to react quickly to a pollution incident, it is necessary
to have men, materials and equipment at pre-selected points that provide
ready access to the waterway.  These points, termed "action sites" are
points where monitoring and control activities can be carried out most
effectively.  Action sites for inland waters are indicated in Annex XX.
Annex XX also indicates time and travel information for various reaches
of inland waters in the Region, and contains a general  inventory of men,
material and equipment available in each subregional area.


403  Phase III - Cleanup and Disposal

403.1  This includes those actions taken to remove the pollutant from
the water and related onshore areas, such as the collection of oil
through the use of sorbers, skimmers, or other collection devices, the
                                  -11-

-------
removal of beach sand, and safe, non-polluting disposal of the pollutants
which are recovered in the cleanup process.

403.2  Physical cleanup operations include pollutant recovery or
neutralization and disposal of recovered materials.  Oil discharges on
inland waters should be recovered using techniques which collect the oil
rather than disperse or sink it, since both dispersion and sinking of the
oil can have adverse effects on all forms of aquatic life.  Collection
techniques might include mechanical skimming, or adsorption on a suitable
material such as straw, etc.  Extreme care should be taken in cleanup
operations to assure that additional stress is not placed on the environ-
ment.
404  Phase IV - Restoration

404.1  This includes those actions taken to assess the damages incurred
and to restore the environment to its pre-discharge condition, such as
replacement of beach sand or re-seeding of a shellfish bed.

404.2  Restoration of damaged resources should be undertaken in all
instances, if practicable.  Operations such as cleaning of oil-blackened
beaches and restoration of damaged marine resources should be approached
under the guidance of the affected local, State and Federal fish and
wildlife agencies.


405  Phase V - Recovery of Damages and Enforcement

405.1  This includes a variety of activities, depending on the location of
and circumstances surrounding a particular discharge.  Recovery of Federal
cleanup 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.  Enforcement activities under appropriate authority such
as Sections 11 and 12 of the Act, the Refuse Act of 1899, and State and
local statutes and ordinances are also included.  The collection of
scientific and technical information of value to the scientific community
as a basis for research and development activities and for the enhancement
of our understanding of the environment may also be considered in this
phase.  It must be recognized that the collection of samples and necessary
data must be performed at the proper times during the case for enforcement
and other purposes.  Enforcement procedures are detailed in Annex VIII.


406  Procedures to be Followed for the Purpose of Hater Pollution
     Control

406.1  The Environmental Protection Agency is assigned responsibility
to undertake and implement Phase I activities in inland navigable waters.
Other agencies should incorporate Phase I activities into their on-going

                                 -12-

-------
programs whenever practicable.  Upon receipt of information, either from
deliberate or random discovery activities, that a discharge has occurred,
the OSC will be notified.  Subsequent action and dissemination of informa-
tion will be in accordance with this Plan.

406.2  The OSC is assigned responsibility for the initiation of Phase II
actions and should take immediate steps to effect containment or other
appropriate countermeasures.

406.3  The OSC is assigned responsibility for conduct of Phase III
activities.

406.4  The OSC is assigned responsibility for the conduct of Phase IV
activities utilizing techniques concurred in by the RRT.

406.5  Phase V activities shall be carried out by the individual agencies
in accordance with existing statutes, with such assistance as is needed
from other agencies and from the OSC.

406.6  Environmental pollution control techniques shall be in accordance
with this Plan.  In any circumstance not covered by this Plan, the use of
chemicals must be in accordance with Annex X of the National Plan and must
have the concurrence of the EPA representative on RRT; in his absence,
the concurrence of the appropriate EPA Regional Administrator will be re-
quired.
                       500  COORDINATING INSTRUCTIONS

501  Delegation of Authority

501.1  Delegation of authority or concurrence in proposed or continuing
water pollution control activities may be either verbal  or written by the
EPA representative on RRT.


502  Multi-Regional Actions

502.1  In the event that a potential pollution source moves from the area
covered by this contingency plan into another, the authority to initiate
pollution control actions shall shift as appropriate.  In the event that
a pollution incident affects areas covered by two or more regional plans,
the response mechanism called for by both plans shall be activated; how-
ever, pollution control actions shall be fully coordinated as detailed
in Annex V.
                                  -13-

-------
502.2  There shall be only one On-Scene Coordinator at any time during
the course of a discharge response.  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 two adjacent RRT's are unable to agree on the
designation.
503  Nuclear Pollution

503.1  In the event of a nuclear pollution incident the procedures
of the Interagency Radiological Assistance Plan shall apply.
504  Notification

504.1  All reports of discharges or potential discharges of oil or
hazardous substances should be forwarded to the RRC immediately.  The
detailed instructions for furthering alerting and notification and
reporting procedures are contained in Annex V.
505  General Pattern of Response Actions

505.1  When the 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.

       505.1-1  Investigate the report to determine pertinent
       information such as the threat posed to public health
       or welfare, the type and quantity of materials, and the
       source of discharge.

       505.1-2  Designate the severity of the situation and
       determine the future course of action to be followed.

       505.1-3  Effect notification in accordance with Annex V.
505.2  The results 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:
                                  -14-

-------
505.2-1  If the investigation shows that the initial  informa-
tion overstated the magnitude or danger of the discharge
and there is no environmental pollution involved, it should
be considered a false alarm and the case should be closed.

505.2-2  If the investigation shows a minor discharge
with the discharger taking appropriate cleanup action, contact
is made with the discharger, the situation is monitored and
information is gathered for possible enforcement action.

505.2-3  If the investigation shows a minor discharge with  im-
proper action being taken, the following measures should be
taken:

  a.  Attempt should be made to prevent further dis-
      charges from the source;

  b.  The discharger should be advised of the proper
      action to be taken;

  c.  If, after providing advice to the discharger, this
      advice is not followed, the discharger should be
      warned of legal responsibility for cleanup and
      violations of law;

  d.  Information should be collected for possible
      enforcement action;

  e.  The On-Scene Coordinator should notify appropriate
      State and local officials.  He should keep the Regional
      Response Center advised and initiate Phase II and III
      activities as conditions warrant.

505.2-4  When a report or investigation indicates that a medium
discharge has occurred or that a potential medium discharge
situation exists, the On-Scene Coordinator should follow the
same general procedures as for a minor discharge.  Additionally
the On-Scene Coordinator should make a recommendation on con-
vening the RRT.

505.2-5  When a report indicates that a major discharge has
occurred, that a potential major discharge situation exists, or
that a discharge or potential discharge which could arouse  wide
public concern has occurred, the On-Scene Coordinator should
follow the same procedures as for minor and medium discharges.
                           -15-

-------
       However, he should immediately report the situation to the RRC
       even if the initial report has not been confirmed.

1105  Amendment Distribution and Format

1105.1  Amendments to the Plan and annexes will  be made by sequentially
numbered changes.  Numbered changes will  be effected by means of a trans-
mittal sheet which identifies the Plan, the change number and date, the
page numbers affected by the change and any other instructions deemed
necessary for purposes of clarity or to make special emphasis or expla-
nation of the change.  There will be attached to the transmittal sheet the
revised or added pages with the change number and current date on each
page at the upper right-hand corner.

1105.2  Where a change can be effected merely by pen and ink, the trans-
mittal sheet could be used to accomplish the change without submission
of revised pages.  The use of pen and ink changes is limited to those
cases where existing matter is being deleted or is of minor extent.

1105.3  Asterisks will be used to indicate changes.  For line changes, an
asterisk will be placed before and after each sentence changed in the
left and right page margins.  For paragraph changes, an asterisk will be
placed before and after each paragraph changed and if continued on the
next page, an asterisk will be placed at the top of the page and the end
of the paragraph.  For a paragraph deletion, an asterisk will be placed in
the left margin and the paragraph number or letter will be retained in the
original sequence followed by the word "Rescinded" in parenthesis.

1105.4  If the Plan is completely rewritten, asterisks will not be used
but supercession will be indicated at the bottom of the first page.

                   1500 COMMUNICATIONS AND REPORTS
1501  Purpose

1501.1  The communications concerning an oil  or hazardous substance dis-
charge are an integral  and significant part of the operations.   The same
precepts govern in these instances as do other operations in which the
EPA and other operating agencies are involved.


1502  Objectives

1502.1  The objectives  of the communications  and reports are:

      1502.1-1  To speed the flow of information pertaining to  an
      incident;

      1502.1-2  To relay advice, instructions and reports pertain-
      ing to an incident; and

      1502.1-3  To provide for alerting, notification, surveillance
      and reponse to a  pollution incident.


1503  Communications Procedures

1503.1  Normal communication circuits of each Primary Agency may be used
to effectuate this Plan.  The district or regional offices and  telephone
numbers of primary alerting and notification  offices of interested agencies
will be maintained in RRC.

1503.2  The initial reporting of a pollution  incident will be in accordance
with the information and format as described  herein.


1504  Notification Requirements

1504.1  Initial notification can be accomplished by telephone to the RRC.
An OSC will be designated from the EPA Regional Office to respond to the
incident as necessary.

1504.2  Minor Discharges.  All minor discharges should be reported to the
Regional Response Center.  If local government cleanup action is required
cognizant officials should be notified.

1504.3  Medium Discharges.  All medium or potential medium discharges
should be reported to the Regional Response Center.  This should be


                                 V-l

-------
accomplished as soon as practical by message or telephone.  Further
notification will be accomplished by EPA as indicated by the situation.

1504.4  Major Discharges.  All major or potential  major discharges
should immediately be reported to the Regional  Response Center.   This
should be accomplished by telephone and verified by message.  The RRC will
immediately notify the RRT and NRC by telephone of all  reports of major or
potential major discharges.  As soon as possible the NRT will be advised
by POLREP.
1505  Notification Procedure - RRT

1505.1  The alerting plan will be used as a system for alerting and main-
taining communication throughout the course of subsequent operations.
Therefore, it has been established to be operational on a 24-hour basis.

1505.2  The calling order for each RRT is shown in Attachment A.  An
effort to contact each agency should include calling the individuals in
the calling order until contact is made.

1505.3  Under the Regional Plan, other Federal agencies may become in-
volved in coping with a pollution incident.  They will be called upon as
their specialties are needed to cope with a particular problem.  The
agencies in each area and the person to be contacted are indicated on
Attachment B.
1506  Notification Procedure - OSC

1506.1  The OSC's for this Plan and the RRC are furnished by the Regional
Office of the EPA, Dallas, Texas.  The number for contacting the RRC is
214, 749-3840.
1507  Notification Procedure - State Agencies

1507.1  The EPA is responsible for contacting the Water Pollution Control
agencies in each state and for keeping them up-to-date on activities in-
volved in the Regional Contingency Plan.  State agencies to be contacted
are indicated in Attachment B.
1508  Pollution Report Requirements

1508.1  Timely information on a discharge 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 Attachment C.
                                  V-2

-------
1508.2  The OSC should submit timely POLREPS to the RRC on all  dis-
charges or pollution incidents.  The RRC is responsible for keeping the
RRT advised.  The RRT shall submit timely POLREPS to the NRT on all major
discharges.  This may be accomplished by double heading the OSC's POLREPS
or by originating POLREPS by the RRT.  POLREPS should be submitted by RRT
to NRT at 0800 and 2000 local time on each day of an operation.

1508.3  Messages intended for the Regional Response Center should be ad-
dressed to the Regional Administrator, Region VI, Environmental Protection
Agency, Dallas, Texas.

1508.4  Messages intended for the Regional Response Team should be
addressed to the Regional Administrator, Region VI, Environmental Pro-
tection Agency for action.  Information addressees should include the
Primary Agencies indicated in this Plan.
1509  POLREP Format

1509.1  All messages pertaining to a discharge should be in the pollution
report (POLREP) format.  The POLREP format consists of 28 sections which
have been adapted to automatic data processing techniques.  (See Attach-
ment C)

1509.2  The initial POLREP for medium and major discharges should be sent
as soon as possible and should include as much of the information con-
cerning the case as is immediately available.  Transmission of the POLREP
should not be delayed to obtain information not immediately available.
Such information should be included in subsequent POLREPS.


1510  Administrative Report Requirements

1510.1  At the conclusion of Federal activity resulting from a pollution
incident the OSC's involved will submit an administrative report of the
incident and the actions taken.  Copies will be furnished to the NRT and
appropriate RRT's.

1510.2  In addition to the report required for pollution incidents, any
discharge 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.

1510.3  The primary purpose of these reports is for evaluating control
techniques and Federal response activities.  Lengthy narrative not re-
quired 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.
                                   V-3

  102  Purpose and Objectives
  102.1   This Plan (including the annexes)  provides  for a  pattern  of coordina-
  ted and integrated response by departments and agencies  of the Federal
  Government to protect the environment from the damaging  effect of  pollution
  discharges.  It promotes the coordination and  direction  of Federal,  State
  and local  response systems and encourages the  development of local  govern-
  ment and private capabilities to handle such discharges.

       102.1-1  The guidelines contained herein  are  by no  means complete
       and must be considered subject to continual review  and revision.
       Revised sections and annexes will be provided in January and
       July of each year.

  102.2  The objectives of this Plan are:  to provide for  efficient, coordi-
  nated and effective action to minimize damage  from oil and hazardous sub-
  stance discharges, including containment and removal. The Plan  provides
  for:  (a) assignment of duties and responsibilities; (b)  establishment  and
  identification of emergency task forces;  (c) a system of notification,  sur-
  veillance and reporting; (d) establishment of  a Regional  Response  Center
  to coordinate and direct operations in carrying out this Plan;  (e) a
  schedule of dispersants and other chemicals to treat oil  spills; (f) enforce-
  ment and investigative procedures to be followed;  (g) directions on  public
  information releases and (h) instructions covering on-scene coordination.
* 103.1  This Plan will  be effective for all  navigable waters and adjoining
  shorelines in the Region inland from the boundary separating EPA-USCG areas
  of on-scene coordination shown on Figure IV-1.   See Annex XIX for a list of
  inland navigable waters. *

                      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 into or upon the navigable
  waters of the United States, adjoining shorelines, or into or upon the
  waters of the contiguous zone.  The discharge of oil into or upon the
  navigable waters of the United States, adjoining shorelines, or into or upon
  the waters of the contiguous zone in harmful quantities is prohibited.  Dis-
  charges of such quantities of oil determined to be harmful to the public
  health or welfare of the United States, at all times and locations and under
  all circumstances and conditions, include discharges which:

         (a)  Violate applicable water quality standards, or

         (b)  Cause a film or sheen upon or discoloration of the
              surface of the water or adjoining shorelines or cause
              a sludge or emulsion to be deposited beneath the sur-
              face of the water or upon adjoining shorelines.

  201.2  Any person in charge of a vessel or of an onshore or offshore facility
  of any kind shall, as soon as he has knowledge of any discharge of oil or
  hazardous substance from such vessel or facility, immediately notify the
  appropriate agency of the United States Government of such discharge.  For
  all areas covered by this Plan, the Environmental Protection Agency is the
  appropriate agency of the United States Government to be notified.  The 24-
  hour number for reporting a spill to the Regional Office of the Environmental
  Protection Agency, Dallas, Texas is Area Code 214/749-3840.               *

                                                                July 1972
201.3  The primary thrust of this Plan is to provide a Federal  response
capability at the regional level.  The On-Scene Coordinator (OSC) shall
determine if the person responsible for the discharge of oil  or other
hazardous polluting substances has reported the discharge in  accordance
with Section 11(b)(4) or Section 12(c) of the Act, and is taking adequate
action.  When such person is taking adequate action, the principal  thrust
of Federal activities shall be to observe and monitor progress  and  to pro-
vide advice and counsel as may be necessary.  In the event that the person
responsible for a pollution incident does not act promptly, does not take
or propose to take proper and appropriate actions to contain, clean up and
dispose of pollutants or the discharger is unknown, further Federal res-
ponse actions shall be instituted as required in accordance with Sections
ll(c)(l) or 12(d) of the Act.

201.4  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.   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  discharges
and their effects when they do occur.


202  Federal Responsibility

202.1  Each of the Primary and Advisory Federal Agencies has  responsibilities
                                 -5a-

                                                            July 1972
    306.1-2  The OSC shall  determine pertinent facts about a
    particular discharge,  such as its potential  impact on human
    health; the nature, amount, and location of material  dis-
    charged; the probable  direction and time of travel of the
    material; the resources and installations which may be af-
    fected, and the priorities for protecting them.

    306.1-3  The OSC shall  initiate and direct as required
    Phase II, Phase III and Phase IV operations as hereinafter
    described.

    306.1-4  The OSC shall  call upon and direct the deployment
    of available resources  to initiate and continue containment,
    countermeasures, cleanup, restoration, and disposal functions.

    306.1-5  The OSC shall  provide necessary support activities
    and documentation for  Phase V activities.

    306.1-6  In carrying out this Plan, the OSC will fully in-
    form and coordinate closely with RRT to insure the maximum
    effectiveness of the Federal effort in protecting the natural
    resources and environment from pollution damage.

306.2  The On-Scene Coordinators for EPA, Region VI, will be provided from
the Regional Office of EPA, Dallas, Texas.  Information regarding  contact
with the OSC is included in Annex V.                                      *
307  Subregional Areas

307.1  The region has been divided into subregional  areas corresponding
to the boundaries of the States in the Region.  Annex XX indicates these
subregional areas and specific resources available in each area.
                400  RESPONSE OPERATIONS - RESPONSE PHASES

400.1  The actions taken to respond to a discharge or pollution incident
can be separated into five relatively distinct classes or phases.  For
descriptive purposes these are:  Phase I.  Discovery and Notification;
Phase II.  Containment and Countermeasures; Phase III.  Cleanup and Dis-
posal; Phase IV.  Restoration; and Phase V.  Recovery of Damages and
Enforcement.  It must be recognized that elements of any one phase may
take place concurrently with one or more other phases.

                                                          July 1972
400.2  The discharger is responsible for accomplishing Phases II, III,
and IV.  If appropriate action is being taken by either the discharger or
non-Federal entities, the Federal on-scene coordinator shall  monitor and
provide advice or assistance, as required.  If appropriate containment
or cleanup action is not being taken by the discharger or non-Federal
entities, the Federal on-scene coordinator will  take control  of the response
activity in accordance with section ll(c)(l) of the Federal Act (PL 91-224). *

401  Phase I - Discovery and Notification

401.1  Discovery of a discharge may be by a report received from the dis-
charger in accordance with statutory requirements, through deliberate

1804.3  Samples collected are to be transmitted for analysis to the U.  S.
Environmental Protection Agency, Surveillance and Analysis Division,
Ada Facility, P. 0. Box 1198, Ada, Oklahoma  74820; U.  S.  Environmental
Protection Agency, Lower Mississippi River Field Facility, P. 0. Box 885,
Slidell, Louisiana  70458, or U. S. Environmental Protection Agency,
Houston Facility, 6608 Hornwood Drive, Houston, Texas  77006, using
special courier or registered mail (return receipt requested) and observ-
ing the procedures outlined below.  Reports of laboratory analysis will  be
forwarded to the RRC for transmittal to counsel.

1804.4  Photographs should be taken to show the source  and extent of
pollution, if possible, using both color and black and  white film.  The
following information should be recorded on the back of each photo-
graphic print:  a) name and location of vessel or facility; b) date and
time the photo was taken; c) names of the photographer  and witnesses;
d) shutter speed and lens opening; and e) type of film  used and details
of film processing.  (The immediate developing type of  photographic pro-
cess may be of major assistance to the less-than-professional photographer
by allowing on-the-spot inspection of results and "retakes" as needed
to obtain an acceptable photograph).

1804.5  If in doubt as to whether or not a particular incident may be an
oil pollution or hazardous substances pollution violation, or in doubt
as to how to proceed in any given case, contact the RRT for instructions
and advice.  If, however, time is a critical factor and/or the RRT has
not yet assembled, proceed as if the incident were a pollution violation.


1805  Sample Collection Procedures to be followed by OSC

1805.1  Several precautions must be observed when taking and handling
liquid samples for analyses as the character of the sample may be af-
fected by a number of common conditions.  These precautions concern the
following:  a) the composition of the container; b) cleanliness of the
container; and, c) manner in which the sample is taken.

1805.2  In taking such samples, the following procedures are to be
followed in all cases:

    1805.2-1  Glass containers of one quart size are to be used.
    The portion of the closure (sealing gasket or cap liner) which
    may come into contact with the sample in the container is of
    considerable importance.  When oil or petroleum hydrocarbons
    are to be sampled, the closure should be made of glass, alumi-
    num foil, or teflon.  Other pollutants may require  different
    or special closure material and the analysis laboratory should
    be consulted whenever a question arises as to the appropriateness
    of any closure material.

                     APPENDIX A -  STATE  OF ARKANSAS
A-l  State Plans

The State of Arkansas has no laws or regulations regarding use of chemi-
cals to sink or disperse oil into water.  Decisions regarding such use
are made by the Arkansas Department of Pollution Control and Ecology.


A-2  Beneficial Use Areas

A knowledge of water uses that may be affected by a discharge or pollution
incident is essential to a plan for protecting such resources.  It will
provide a basis for determining the magnitude of control actions required
to protect the water users.

Attachment A-2 lists the water use areas in the Arkansas River within    *
the State of Arkansas, and the Mississippi River from the Arkansas-
Missouri line to the Arkansas-Louisiana line.
A-3  Action Sites
Quick reaction to a discharge or pollution incident is necessary to pre-
vent adverse affect on the environment.  Thus it is necessary to have pre-
selected points that provide ready access to the watercourse.  These
points, termed "action sites", are places where monitoring and/or control
activities can be carried out to reduce or eliminate detrimental effects
of the pollutant.

Attachment A-3 lists the action sites for the Arkansas River in the      *
State of Arkansas and the Mississippi River from the Arkansas-Missouri
line to the Arkansas-Louisiana line.
A-4  Time of Travel
It is highly desirable that the ability to rapidly estimate the time
required for a slug of water to flow between any two points along a
stream be developed in the region.  This information, along with the
time and location of a discharge, provides the tool for approximating
the movement of a pollutant downstream to water use and action sites.

Attachment A-4 is a current flow chart for the Mississippi River from
the mouth of the Ohio River to the mouth of the White River.
                                 A-l

-------
                                                             Change No. 1
                                                             July'1972
It is not possible to develop a current flow chart for the Arkansas
River because of the locks and dams on the river and their varying
operations for navigation and power generation.  There are times when
the wind blowing upstream is stronger than the downstream current and
you can actually have oil on the water surface moving upstream.  It
will be necessary at the time of a spill to determine the movement
of the pollutant.
A-5  Potential Sources of Pollution

These sites, such as installations, pipeline crossings, etc., are points
that have a potential for contributing oil or hazardous material  to the
environment.  Attachment A-5 indicates such potential  sources on  the
Arkansas River in the State of Arkansas, and the Mississippi River from
the Arkansas-Missouri line to the Arkansas-Louisiana line.
A-6  Manpower and Equipment

A discharge of oil or hazardous material will require rapid mobilization
of resources to preclude the development of serious damage to the
environment.

A listing of men, material and equipment is being developed for the    .*
State of Arkansas.  Such information will be revised every six months
to keep it as current as possible.

                                                             July 1972
                    APPENDIX D - STATE OF OKLAHOMA
D-l  State Plans

The State of Oklahoma has proposed rules and regulations that would prohibit
the use of any material that would cause a violation of the water quality
standards.  This includes the use of chemicals to sink or disperse oil.
The decision on their use is under the Department of Pollution Control.


D-2  Beneficial Use Areas

A knowledge of water uses that may be affected by a discharge or pollution
incident is essential to a plan for protecting such resources.  It will
provide a basis for determining the magnitude of control actions required
to protect the water users.

Attachment D-2 lists the water use areas in the Verdigris and Arkansas     *
Rivers within the State of Oklahoma.
D-3  Action Sites

Quick reaction to a discharge or pollution incident is necessary to pre-
vent adverse affect on the environment.  Thus it is necessary to have pre-
selected points that provide ready access to the watercourse.  These
points, termed "action sites", are places where monitoring and/or control
activities can be carried out to reduce or eliminate detrimental effects
of the pollutant.

Attachment D-3 lists the action sites for the Verdigris and Arkansas
Rivers in the State of Oklahoma.
D-4  Time of Travel
It is highly desirable that the ability to rapidly estimate the time
required for a slug of water to flow between any two points along a stream
be developed in the region.  This information, along with the time and
location of a discharge, provides the tool for approximating the movement
of a pollutant downstream to water use and action sites.

It is not possible to develop  a  current flow  chart  for  the  Arkansas     *
River because of the locks  and dams  on the. river  and  their  varying
operations for navigation and  power  generation.   There  are  times when
the wind blowing upstream is stronger than  the  downstream current and
you can actually have oil on the water surface  moving upstream.   It
will be necessary at the time  of a spill  to determine the movement
of the pollutant.

-------
                                                                 Change No.  1
                                                                  July 1972
*  D-5  Potential Sources of Pollution

   These sites, such as installations, pipeline crossings, etc.  are points that
   have a potential for contributing oil  or hazardous material  to the
   environment.  Attachment D-5 indicates such potential  sources on the Arkansas-
   Verdigris Rivers in the State of Oklahoma.


   D-6  Manpower and Equipment

   A discharge of oil or hazardous material will require  rapid  mobilization
   of resources to preclude the development of a serious  damage to the
   environment.

   A listing of men, material and equipment is being developed  for the State
   of Oklahoma.  Such information will be revised every six months to keep
   it as current as possible.

                                                          July 1972
                     APPENDIX E - STATE OF TEXAS


E-l  State Plans

The Texas Water Quality Board and the Texas Railroad Commission are
jointly involved in responding to discharges of oil and/or hazardous
substances in the State.

     Texas Water Quality Board

     No detergents or other oil clean-up chemicals are to be used at
     any point without approval of the Texas Water Quality Board
     Representative or the Texas Parks and Wildlife Representative.

     Industry cooperatives are encouraged for use in cleaning up
     discharges.

     The industry responsible for a spill is requested to initiate
     the maximum possible response to the discharge.

     The Texas Water Quality Board and/or the Texas Railroad
     Commission is responsible for keeping all State agencies fully
     informed of the progress of clean-up operations and of needs
     during clean-up operations.

     A final report on each major spill will be made by the Texas
     Water Quality Board.


E-2  Beneficial Use Areas

A knowledge of water uses that may be affected by a discharge or
pollution incident is essential to a plan for protecting such resources.
It will provide a basis for determining the magnitude of control actions
required to protect the water users.


E-3  Action Sites

Quick reaction to a discharge or pollution incident is necessary to pre-
vent adverse affect on the environment.  Thus it is necessary to have pre
selected points that provide ready access to the watercourse.  These
points, termed "action sites," are places where monitoring and/or control
                                   E-l

-------
                                                           Change No.  1
                                                           Jul/1972
  activities  can  be  carried  out to  reduce or eliminate detrimental effects
  of the  pollutant.
 E-4  Time of Travel
 It is highly desirable that the ability to rapidly estimate  the  time
 required for a slug of water to flow between any two  points  along  a stream
 be developed in the region.  This  information,  along  with  the  time and
 location of a discharge, will  provide the tool  for approximating the
 movement of a pollutant downstream to water use and action sites.

 Such information will  be developed for navigable waters  in Texas.


 E-5  Potential Sources of Pollution

 These sites, such as landings, pipeline crossings, etc., are points that
 have a potential for contributing  oil or hazardous substance to  the
 environment.
 E-6  Manpower and Equipment

 A discharge of oil  or hazardous substance will  require rapid  mobilization
 of resources to preclude the development of serious  damage  to the  environ-
 ment.

*A listing of men, material  and equipment is being developed for the  State
 of Texas.

(1)  If you have'or see a  spill  of oil or  hazardous material  into  a  stream  in  the
     area'shown on. Figure  IV-1 of the Regional  Pollution Contingency  Plan,  call
     the Environmental  Protection Agency immediately.   In the Coastal  Region,
     where  the On-Scene Coordinator  is provided by the U. S.  Coast Guard, call the
     U. S.  Coast Guard.

(2)  In addition,  if you have a  spill, contact one or more  of these  appropriate
     State  agencies in  the State in  which  the spill occurred.  See Annex XX  for
     Information on State  plans  and  requirements.

(3)  Regional  Response  Center (RRC)  provides the communication  and coordination
     for all  response activities of  a pollution  incident.   Depending on the
     severity of the discharge the RRC will:

          (a)   Dispatch an On-Scene  Coordinator

          (b)   Activate Regional Response  Team and alert National  Response
               Center by telephone on all  major  spills and  some medium
               spills.

         •(c)   Contact  the State Water Pollution Control Agency in the
               affected State.

               and response activities.

(4)  On-Scene  Coordinator  (OSC)  will coordinate"  and direct  the  Federal pollution
     control  efforts at the scene of a pollution incident.  The OSC  will determine
     pertinent facts about the discharge,  such as its potential impact on human
     health;  the nature, amount, and location of material discharged;  the probable
     direction, and time of travel of the.material; the resources  and  installations
     which  may be affected,"and  the  priorities for protecting them.

     The OSC  shall initiate and  direct as  required, Phase II  (Containment and
     Countermeasures),  Phase III (Cleanup  and Disposal), and  Phase IV  (Restoration)
     operations.  The discharger is  responsible  for accomplishing  Phases II,  III,
     and IV.   If appropriate action  is being taken by either  the discharger  or non-
     Federal  entities,  the OSC shall monitor and provide advice or assistance, as
     required.  If appropriate action is not being taken by the discharger  or  non-
     Federal  entities,  the OSC will  take control of the response activities  and
     call upon and direct  the deployment of Available resources, as  required.

     The OSC  will  inform and coordinate his actions with the  RRC and RRT, if
     activated.  He shall  provide necessary support activities  and documentation
     for Phase V (Recovery of Damages 'and  Enforcement) activities.   He shall  sub-
     mit a  final administrative  report of  the incident and  the  action  taken, at the
     end of the activity.

     mental Protection  Agency; U. S. Coast Guard; U. S. Corps of Engineers;  Depart-
     ment of  the Interior, and selected Advisory Agencies.  When the RRT is
     activated, the State  involved in the  spill  will be invited to furnish  one ob-
     server to each meeting of the RRT.

     The RRT  shall act  as  an emergency response  team, perform review and advisory
     functions and shall determine the duration  and extent  of the  Federal response.
     They shal1:                    •

                     1600 PUBLIC INFORMATION
1601  Introduction

1601.1  When a major 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 the RRT is activated, the Chairman will contact the most
appropriate agency and ask it to detail a professional information officer
to establish and direct a Regional News Office.  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 be responsible for
overall supervision of public information activities.  While the Director
of the Regional News Office will have considerable freedom in responding
to news inquiries, he will work under the direction of the Director of
the National News Office.  The closest possible coordination will be main-
tained between the National News Office in Washington and the Regional
News Office.

1602.3  All written news releases involving policy considerations will
be cleared by the Chairman of the RRT.  Situation reports and other factual
releases will not require formal clearance.

1602.4  The Director of the Regional News Office will have free access
to meetings of the RRT and will be consulted on the possible public
reaction to the courses of action under consideration by the RRT.

1602.5  At appropriate intervals the Director of the Regional News Office
may arrange news conferences at which the Chairman of the RRT, the OSC or
other informed officials will make progress reports and respond to
questions from the media representatives.

1602.6  The Director of the Regional News Office will keep appropriate
press offices posted on developments.  These include the press offices of
the Regional Offices of the Primary agencies; Governors, Senators and
Representatives whose States or Districts are affected by the incident;
and, the Mayor and other responsible local officials in affected communities,


                                  VI-1

-------
1602.7  As long as public interest warrants, at least one written news
release a day or status report will be issued by the Regional  News Office
reporting progress in controlling the incident and other developments.

1602.8  The Regional News Office will be provided with adequate space,
telephones, typewriters, communications equipment and other supplies by
the 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 insure an orderly flow of information and to accommodate
visiting members of the news media.


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 Primary Agency to assign a
public information officer in Washington, D.C. to serve as a contact
point for queries made in Washington, D.C.  The information officer
assigned to this task will follow the procedures outlined in the National
Plan 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 Environmental Protection Agency.
These activities will be conducted in accordance with the information
policies of EPA.


1605  Special Public Information Procedures for Senators, Representatives,
Congressional Aids and Staff Members, White House Representatives and
Other VIP's

1605.1  The Director of the National News Office or the Director of the
Regional News Office will arrange, on request, to perform special public
information services for VIP's including:  notifying the media of the
time, place and purpose of the VIP visit; making press conference arrange-
ments; 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
                                 VI-2

-------
1607  Special Public Information Procedures for the General Public

1607.1  In responding to queries from the general public, public informa-
tion 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 for Pollution Incident
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 RRT, copies will be sent to the Primary Agencies for their guidance
in responding to mail inquiries.

                              ANNEX VIII

                     1800 ENFORCEMENT PROCEDURES
1801   Introduction

1801.1  There are several possible legal recourses available in pollution
incidences resulting from discharges of oil or hazardous materials;  there-
fore, care must be taken in gathering evidence to comply with requirements
.under each.

1801.2  Because evidentiary requirements vary somewhat with each method
of recovery or enforcement, it becomes necessary to put regional and
Departmental counsel on notice as soon as possible so they may alert
the RRT or OSC to any special techniques or legal requirements under
the applicable law to assure the gathering and preservation of admissible
evidence.

1801.3  The primary consideration is to insure prompt notification of
counsel and to gather and preserve sufficient evidence to support legal
action in the event it becomes necessary to recover clean-up costs,
damages and/or penalties, either civil or criminal, or defend the
government's action, non-action or position taken in a particular
situation.
1802    Notification of Counsel
1802.1  Immediately upon notice of the discovery of a pollution incident,
the RRT members shall notify their respective regional and departmental
attorneys.

1802.2  Immediate coordination of counsel of the Environmental Protection
Agency and the Coast Guard at the regional level, will be effected by
Counsel for EPA.  Coordination will be for joint and several actions con-
cerning legal matters regarding the operation of the Plan, sending of
notices, advice regarding the handling of evidence, preparation of eviden-
tiary statements, and referral of the matter to the Justice Department or
the appropriate United States Attorney.

1802.3  The information and reports obtained by the OSC are to be trans-
mitted to the RRC.  Copies will then be forwarded to the NRC, members of
the RRT, and others, as appropriate.  The representative of the agency on
RRT having cost recovery or enforcement authority will then refer copies
of the pollution reports to his respective agency counsel.
                                VIII-1

-------
1803    Legal Notice to Ship Operators and Others

1803.1  Notice to the ship or facility operator, owner or other appro-
priate responsible person indicating Federal  interest and potential  action
in an incident shall be prepared and sent by the Environmental  Protection
Agency.  This notice should include, among other things, Federal  statutes
and regulations violated, indication of responsibility for cleanup,  notice
that cleanup be effected pursuant to the Regional Contingency Plan and
Federal regulations, identification of OSC, and direction that response
activity be coordinated with the OSC.


1804    Action to be Taken by OSC for Phase V Activities in Conjunction
with Actions in Phases I, II, and fTT

1804.1  Investigate observed instances of oil or other hazardous  substances
pollution in the waters covered by the scope of this Plan.  Investigative
actions may include:

     1804.1-1  Request permission to enter facility or vessel involved.
     The investigator should identify himself and explain his reason
     for being there.  In those situations where statutory authority
     does not exist for entering or boarding, and if permission to
     enter or board is denied, investigator should seek assistance
     of local U. S. Marshal;

     1804.1-2  Question all persons who may be responsible for or
     have knowledge of the discharge and record the name, address
     and position of each witness;

     1804.1-3  Furnish anyone who may be responsible for an offense
     with an appropriate warning as to his rights;

     1804.1-4  Obtain signed statements wherever possible indicating
     where, when and how the discharge occurred and its extent;

     1804.1-5  When a witness makes an oral statement but will  not
     give a written statement, reduce the oral statement to writing; and

     1804.1-6  When the source of the pollution is unknown, obtain as
     much information as possible and note any suspect vessels or
     facilities.

1804.2  When investigation discloses a reasonable basis to believe a
violation has occurred, collect samples of oil or hazardous substances
from the water and from appropriate spaces and drainage points of the
suspected offending vessel or vessels, shore establishments, or other
sources.  Collect comparative samples in unaffected water in the
vicinity of the discharge.
                                 VIII-2

-------
1804.3    Samples collected are to be transmitted for analysis to the
Environmental Protection Agency, Surveillance and Analysis Division,
Ada Facility, P.O. Box 1198, Ada, Oklahoma 74820, using special  courier
or registered mail (return receipt requested) and observing the pro-
cedures outlined below.  Reports of laboratory analysis will  be
forwarded to the RRT for transmittal to counsel.   The Chairman of the
RRT will also forward copies of laboratory reports to NRT.

1804.4    Photographs should be taken to show the source and 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.  (The immediate developing type
of photographic process may be of major assistance to the less-than-
professional photographer by allowing on-the-spot inspection of results
and "retakes" as needed to obtain an acceptable photograph.)

1804.5    If in doubt as to whether or not a particular incident may
be an oil pollution or hazardous substances pollution violation, or in
doubt as to how to proceed in any given case, contact the RRT for
instructions and advice.  If, however, time is a critical factor
and/or the RRT has not yet assembled, proceed as if the incident were
a pollution violation.
1805    Sample Collection Procedures to be followed by OSC

1805.1  Several precautions must be observed when taking and handling
liquid samples for analyses as the character of the sample may be af-
fected by a number of common conditions.  These precautions concern the
following:  a) the composition of the container; b) cleanliness of the
container; and, c) manner in which the sample is taken.

1805.2  In taking such samples, the following procedures are to be
followed  in all cases:

     1805.2-1   Glass containers of one quart size are to be used.
     The portion of the closure (sealing gasket or cap liner) which
     may come into contact with the sample in the container is of
     considerable importance.  When oil or petroleum hydrocarbons
     are to be sampled, the closure should be made of glass, alumi-
     num foil, or teflon.  Other pollutants may require different
     or special closure material and the analysis laboratory should
     be consulted whenever a question arises as to the appropriateness
     of any closure material.


                                VIII-3

-------
     1805.2-2  Previously unused containers are preferred.   Containers
     that have been cleaned with a strong detergent,  thoroughly rinsed
     and dried may be used.

     1805.2-3  Consult with the analysis laboratory personnel  relative
     to special samples and unusual  problems.

     1805.2-4  Some explantory notes covering  the above procedures are
     as follows:   a)  glass containers always  must be used  because
     plastic containers, with the exception of teflon, have been found
     in some cases to absorb organic materials from water and, in other
     cases, compounds have been dissolved from plastic containers;
     b) as it is  desirable to take a large sample of the pollutant,
     proper skimming techniques should be used to obtain a  sufficient
     amount of oil for analysis; and, c) since it is  not unusual for a
     pollution condition to change rapidly, samples should  be  taken in
     a timely fashion, and the time sequences  and places noted.


1806    Chain of Custody Record

1806.1  All samples and other tangible evidence must be maintained in
proper custody until orders have been received from competent  authority
directing their disposition.  Precautions should be taken to protect the
samples from breakage, fire, altering and tampering.   It is important
that a chain of custody of the samples be properly maintained  and recorded
from the time the samples are taken until ultimate use at the  trial of the
case.  In this regard, a record of time, place, and the name and title of
the person taking the sample, and each person  handling same thereafter
must be maintained and forwarded with the sample, using the Form NIC-1.

                             1900 FUNDING


1900    General

1900.1  The primary thrust of this plan is to encourage the person
responsible for a discharge to take appropriate remedial actions promptly.
Usually this will mean that the cost of containment, countermeasures
and cleanup of discharges should be borne by the person responsible for
the discharge.  The OSC and other officials associated with the handling
of a discharge should make a substantial effort to have the responsible
person accept voluntarily this financial responsibility.

1900.2  Actions undertaken by the Primary Agencies in response to
pollution emergencies shall be carried out under existing programs
and authorities insofar as practicable.

1900.3  It is not envisioned that any Federal agency will make resources
available, expend funds or participate in operations in connection with
discharges 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.  This Plan encourages interagency agreements whenever specific
reimbursement agreements between Federal agencies are deemed necessary to
insure that the Federal resources will be available for a timely response
to a pollution emergency.


1901    Funding Responsibility

1901.1  The funding, including reimbursement to Federal agencies, other
agencies, contractors and others, of pollution removal activities is the
responsibility of the agency providing the predesignated OSC.  This funding
may be provided through normal operating expense accounts of the agency
or through special funding arrangements such as the Pollution Revolving
Fund described hereinafter.

1901.2  Funding of response actions not associated with the removal
activity, such as scientific investigations, law enforcement or public
relations is the responsibility of the agency having statutory or execu-
tive responsibility for those specific actions.
                                   IX-1

-------
1902    Agency Funding

1902.1  The Environmental Protection Agency can provide funds to insure
timely initiation of cleanup actions.  Funding of continuing cleanup
actions, however, will be determined on a case-by-case basis by the
Headquarters Office of EPA.  Inasmuch as EPA does not have funds provided
for this purpose, by statute or regulation, initiation of containment and
cleanup activities is funded out of operating program funds.

1902.2  The U. S. Coast Guard pollution control efforts are funded under
"Operating Expenses."these funds are utilized in accordance with ap-
plicable agency directives.

1902.3  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 circumstances.)

     1902.3-1  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.

     1902.3-2  The U. S. Navy has funds available on a reimbursable
     basis to conduct salvage operations.

1903    Disaster Relief Funds

1903.1  Certain pollution control 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, Office of
Emergency Preparedness.  After the President has declared a major disaster
and authorized allocation of funds, the Director may authorize certain
reimbursements to Federal agencies for disaster assistance provided under
direction of his office.  Applicable policies and procedures are stated

1904    Pollution Revolving Fund

1904.1  A pollution revolving fund (hereinafter referred to as the Fund)
administered by the Commandant, USCG, has been established under the
provisions of Section 11  of the Act.   This Fund is available to pay
specified costs associated with discharge response operations.  Regula-
tions governing administration and use of the funds are contained in
33 CFR Part 153D, April  13, 1971.

1904.2  The Fund is available to pay the cost of removal  of oil discharged
into the navigable waters and adjoining shorelines of the United States.
It is also available to pay the cost of removal of discharges of hazar-
dous polluting substances, provided the material has been designated as
a hazardous polluting substance pursuant to Section 12(a) of the Act.

1904.3  Examples of specific costs reimbursable to a Federal agency for
spill response operations are:

     1904.3-1  Costs incurred by industrial type facilities, including
     charges for overhead, in accordance with the agency's industrial
     accounting system;

     1904.3-2  Out-of-pocket costs specifically and directly incurred
     as a result of recovery activities such as:

           -2.1  Travel,  including transportation and per diem, when
            specifically requested by the OSC.

           -2.2  Supplies, materials and minor equipment procured
            specifically for response activities.

1904.4  Some limitations  on use of the Fund are:

     1904.4-1  Restriction of reimbursement for expenditures made for
     Phase II and Phase III response actions;

     1904.4-2  Personnel  and equipment costs which are funded by other
     appropriations and which would have been incurred during normal
     operations; and

     1904.4-3  Costs of surveillance activities, restoration of damages
     following a discharge or investigative functions performed in sup-
     port of enforcement action or scientific documentation.

1904.5  The Commandant, USCG, will prepare and distribute detailed
instructions to assist in determination of appropriate costs by the OSC.
When available, these instructions shall be included in this Plan.
                                   IX-3

-------
1905    General Limitations on Funding

1905.1  Care must be exercised to ensure that misunderstandings do not
develop about reimbursement of funds expended for containment and
cleanup activities.  The OSC should not knowingly request services for
which reimbursement is mandatory unless reimbursement funds are known
to be available.  Similarly, the agency supplying a reimbursable service
should determine the source of reimbursement before committing resources
necessitating reimbursement.

                               ANNEX X

2000 SCHEDULE OF DISPERSANTS AND OTHER CHEMICALS TO TREAT OIL DISCHARGES
2001    General
2001.1  This schedule shall apply to the navigable waters of the United
States and adjoining shorelines, and the waters of the contiguous zone
as defined in Article 24 of the Convention on the Territorial Sea and the
Contiguous Zone.

2001.2  This schedule applies to the regulation of any chemical as
hereinafter defined that is applied to an oil discharge.

2001.3  This schedule advocates development  and utilization  of mechanical
and other control methods that will result in removal of oil from the
environment with subsequent proper disposal.

2001.4  Relationship of the Environmental Protection Agency with other
Federal agencies and State agencies in implementing this schedule: in
those States with more stringent laws, regulations or written policies
for regulation of chemical use, such State laws, regulations or written
policies shall govern.  This schedule will apply in those States that
have not adopted such laws, regulations or written policies.


2002    Definitions.  Substances applied to an oil discharge are defined
as follows:

2002.1  Collecting agents - include chemicals or other agents that
can gell, sorb, congeal, herd, entrap, fix, or make the oil mass more
rigid or viscous in order to facilitate surface removal of oil.

2002.2  Sinking agents - are those chemical or other agents that can
physically sink oil below the water surface.

2002.3  Dispersing agents - are those chemical agents or compounds
which emulsify, disperse or solubilize oil into the water column or
act to further the surface spreading of oil slicks in order to facilitate
dispersal of the oil into the water column.


2003    Collecting Agents^  Collecting agents are considered to be
generally acceptable providing that these materials do not in themselves
or in combination with the oil increase the pollution hazard.
                                  X-l

-------
2004    Sinking Agents.  Sinking agents may be used only in marine
waters exceeding 100 meters in depth where currents are not predom-
inately onshore, and only if other control methods are judged by EPA
to be inadequate or not feasible.


2005    Authorities Controlling Use of Dispersants

2005.1  Regional response team activated; dispersants may be used in
any place, at any time, and in quantities designated by the On-Scene
Coordinator, when their use will:

     2005.1-1  in the judgment of the OSC, prevent or substantially
     reduce hazard to human life or limb or substantial hazard of fire
     to property;

     2005.1-2  in the judgment of EPA, in consultation with appropriate
     State agencies, prevent or reduce substantial hazard to a major
     segment of the population(s) of vulnerable species of waterfowl;
     and

     2005.1-3  in the judgment of EPA, in consultation with appro-
     priate State agencies, result in the least overall environ-
     mental damage, or interference with designated uses.

2005.2  Regional response team not activated:  provisions of Section
2005.1-1 shall apply.  The use of dispersants in any other situation
shall be subject to this schedule except in States where State laws,
regulations, or written policies that govern the prohibition, use,
quantity, or type of dispersant are in effect.  In such States, the
State laws, regulations or written policies shall  be followed during
the cleanup operation.


2006    Interim Restrictions on Use of Dispersants for Pollution Control
Purposes.  Except as noted in 2005.1, dispersants  shall not be used

2006.1  on any distillate fuel oil;

2006.2  on any discharge of oil less than 200 barrels in quantity;

2006.3  on any shoreline;

2006.4  in any waters less than 100 feet deep;
                                  X-2

-------
2006.5  in any waters containing major populations,  or breeding or
passage areas for species of fish or marine life which may be damaged
or rendered commercially less marketable by exposure to dispersant
or dispersed oil;

2006.6  in any waters where winds and/or currents are of such velocity
and direction that dispersed oil mixtures would likely, in the judgment
of EPA, be carried to shore areas within 24 hours; or

2006.7  in any waters where such use may affect surface water supplies.
2007    Dispersant Use.  Dispersants may be used in accordance with
this schedule if other control methods are judged to be inadequate
or infeasible, and if:

2007.1  information has been provided to EPA, in sufficient time prior
to its use for review by EPA, on its toxicity, effectiveness and oxygen
demand determined by the standard procedures published by EPA.  [Prior
to publication by EPA of standard procedures, no dispersant shall  be
applied, except as noted in Section 2005.1-1 in quantities exceeding
5 ppm in the upper 3 feet of the water column during any 24-hour period.
This amount is equivalent to 5 gallons per acre per 24 hours.]; and

2007.2  applied during any 24-hour period in quantities not exceeding the
96 hour TLso of the most sensitive species tested as calculated in the
top foot of the water column.  The maximum volume of chemical  permitted,
in gallons per acre per 24 hours, shall be calculated by multiplying
the 96 hour Tl_50 value of the most sensitive species tested, in ppm,
by 0.33; except that in no case, except as noted in Section 2005.1-1,
will the daily application rate of chemical exceed 540 gallons per acre
or one-fifth of the total volume spilled, whichever quantity is smaller.

2007.3  Dispersant containers are labeled with the following information:

     2007.3-1  name, brand or trademark, if any, under which the
     chemical is sold;

     2007.3-2  name and address of the manufacturer, importer or
     vendor;

     2007.3-3  flash point;

     2007.3-4  freezing or pour point;
                                 X-3

-------
     2007.3-5  viscosity;

     2007.3-6  recommend application procedure(s),  concentration(s),
     and conditions for use as regards water salinity,  water tempera-
     ture, and types and ages of oils; and

     2007.3-7  date of production and shelf life.

2007.4  Information to be supplied to EPA on the:

     2007.4-1  chemical name and percentage of each component;

     2007.4-2  concentrations of potentially hazardous  trace materials,
     including, but not necessarily being limited  to lead,  chromium,
     zinc, arsenic, mercury, nickel, copper or chlorinated  hydrocarbons;

     2007.4-3  description of analytical  methods used in determining
     chemical characteristics outlined in 2007.4-1, 2 above;

     2007.4-4  methods for analyzing the  chemical  in fresh  and  salt
     water are provided to EPA, or reasons why such analytical  methods
     cannot be provided;

     2007.4-5  for purposes of research and development, EPA may
     authorize use of dispersants in specified amounts  and  locations
     under controlled conditions irrespective of the provisions of
     this schedule.
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 to their use, should be considered:

     1.  Biological agents - those bacteria and enzymes isolated,
         grown and produced for the specific purpose of encouraging
         or speeding biodegradation to mitigate the effects of a
         discharge.  Biological agents shall be used to treat dis-
         charges only when such use is approved by the appropriate
         State and local public health and water pollution control
         official.
                                   X-4

-------
Burning agents - are those materials which, through physical
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 com-
bination 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.
                        X-5

-------
                             ANNEX XI

                    2100 NON FEDERAL INTERESTS
2101    General Policy

2101.1   The policy of the Federal Government is to respond to those
discharges in which cleanup is required and in which adequate action is
not being taken by the responsible party or other entity.
2110    Planning and Preparedness

2110.1  The planning and preparedness functions incorporated in the
Contingency Plans also apply to non-federal resources.  The State and
local government and private interests are encouraged to participate
in Regional planning and preparedness functions.

2110.2  State and local governments are encouraged to incorporate
this pollution contingency plan into existing emergency planning.
2120    Commitment

2120.1  Response personnel and other resources are expected to be avail-
able from State and local governments.  Details of such resources and
personnel are outlined in Annex XX.

2120.2  It is anticipated that Federal resources would only be used if
the response requirements exceed the State and local capabilities.  When
Federal resources are required, the predesignated OSC would monitor the
situation and be available to offer advice.

-------
2503.13  CRUDE OIL:  Petroleum as it is extracted from the earth.
There may be several thousands of different substances in crude oil
some of which evaporate quickly, while others persist indefinitely.
The physical characteristics of crude oils may vary widely.  Crude oils
are often identified in trade jargon by their regions of origin.  This
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.

2503.14  DEMULSIBILITY:  The resistance of an oil to emulsification,
or the ability of an oil to separate from any water with which it is
mixed.  The better the demulsibility rating, the more quickly the
oil separates from water.

2503.15  DENSITY:  Density is the term meaning the mass of a unit
volume.  Its numerical expression varies with the units selected.

2503.16  EMULSION:  A mechanical mixture of two liquids which do not
naturally mix as oil and water.  Water-in-oil emulsions have the water
as the internal phase and oil as the external.  Oil-in-water emulsions
have water as the external phase and the internal phase is oil.

2503.17  FIRE POINT;  The lowest temperature at which an oil vaporizes
rapidly enough to burn for at least 5 seconds after ignition, under
standard conditions.

2503.18  FLASH POINT;  The lowest temperature at which an oil gives off
sufficient vapor to form a mixture which will ignite, under standard
conditions.

2503.19  FRACTION;  Refinery term for a product of fractional distil-
lation having a restricted boiling range.

2502.20  FUEL OIL GRADE:  Numerical ratings ranging from 1 to 6.  The
lower the grade number, the thinner the oil is and the more easily it
evaporates.  A high number indicates a relatively thick, heavy oil.
No. 1 and 2 fuel oils are usually used in domestic heaters, and the
others are used by industry and ships.  No. 5 and 6 oils are solids
which must be liquified by heating.  Kerosene, coal oil, and range oil
are all No. 1 oil.  No. 3 fuel oil is no longer used as a standard term.

2503.21  INNAGE; Space occupied in a product container.
                                  XV-4

-------
2503.22  IN PERSONEM:  An action in personem is instituted against an
individual, usually through the personal  service of process,  and may
result in the imposition of a liability directly upon the person of a
defendent.

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.

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 classi-

                              Gallons of oil
fied as follows:

     Standard term
     "barely visible'
     "silvery"
     "slightly colored"
     "brightly colored"

-------
2503.26  OUTAGE: Space left in a product container to allow for expansion
during temperature changes it may undergo during shipment and use.
Measurement of space not occupied.

2503.27  pH;  Term used to express the apparent acidity or alkalinity of
aqueous solutions; values below 7 indicate acid solutions and values
above 7 indicate alkaline solutions.

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."

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 tonnage although in these days tankers
and other bulk-carriers are often referred to in terms of deadweight.

     2503.35-1  Gross tonnage.  100 cubic feet of permanently enclosed
     space is equal to one gross ton—nothing whatever to do with weight.
     This is usually the registered tonnage although  it 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.
                                  XV-6

-------
     2503.35-3  Displacement tonnage.   The actual  weight in tons,
     varying according to whether a vessel is in light or loaded
     condition.   Warships are always spoken of by this form of
     measurement.

     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.

instantaneous change of shape, or instantaneous  rearrangement  of their
parts, due to internal friction.  The resistance which the particles  of
a liquid offer to a force tending to move them in relation to each other.
Viscosity of oils is usually expressed as the number of seconds at a
definite temperature required for a standard quantity of oil to flow
through a standard apparatus.

2503.38  VISCOUS;  Thick, resistant to flow, having a high viscosity.

2503.39  VOLATILE:  Evaporates easily.

                    APPENDIX A - STATE OF ARKANSAS


A-l   State  Plans

The State of Arkansas  has no laws or  regulations  regarding use of chemi-
cals  to  sink or disperse oil into water.  Decisions  regarding such  use
are made by the Arkansas Department of Pollution  Control and Ecology.


A-2   Beneficial Use Areas

A  knowledge of water uses that may be affected by a  discharge or pollution
incident is essential  to a  plan for protecting such  resources.  It  will
provide  a basis for determining the magnitude of  control actions required
to protect  the water users.

Attachment  A-2 lists the water use areas in  the Arkansas and White  Rivers
within the  State  of Arkansas, and the Mississippi River from the Arkansas-
Missouri line to  the Arkansas-Louisiana line.


A-3   Action Sites

Quick reaction to  a discharge or pollution incident  is necessary to pre-
vent  adverse affect on the  environment.  Thus it  is  necessary to have pre-
selected points that provide ready access to the  watercourse.  These
points,  termed "action sites", are places where monitoring and/or control
.activities  can be  carried out to reduce or eliminate detrimental effects
of the pollutant.

Attachment  A-3 lists the action sites for the Arkansas and White Rivers
in the State of Arkansas and the Mississippi River from the Arkansas-
Missouri line to  the Arkansas-Louisiana line.


A-4   Time of Travel
 It  is  highly  desirable  that  the  ability  to  rapidly  estimate  the  time
 required  for  a  slug  of  water to  flow  between  any  two  points  along  a
 stream be developed  in  the region.  This  information,  along  with the
 time and  location  of a  discharge, provides  the  tool for  approximating
 the movement  of a  pollutant  downstream to water use and  action sites.

 Such information will be  developed  for the  Arkansas River.   Attachment  A-4
 is  a current  flow  chart for  the  Mississippi River from the mouth of the
 Ohio River to the  mouth of the White  River.
                                 A-l

-------
A-5  Potential Sources of Pollution

These sites, such as landings, pipeline crossings, etc., are points
that have a potential for contributing oil or hazardous material  to the
environment.  Attachment A-5 indicates such potential  sources on  the
navigable streams in the State of Arkansas.


A-6  Manpower and Equipment

A discharge of oil or hazardous material will require rapid mobilization
of resources to preclude the development of serious damage to the
environment.

A listing of men, material  and equipment is being developed for the
navigable streams in the State of Arkansas.  Such information will  be  revised
every six months to keep it as current as possible.

                    APPENDIX B - STATE OF LOUISIANA
B-l  State Plans

The Louisiana Wild Life and Fisheries Commission and the Louisiana Stream
Control Commission forbid the use of any type of dispersant, detergent or
soapy material in State waters in an attempt to alleviate oil pollution.
B-2  Beneficial Use Areas

A knowledge of water uses that may be affected by a discharge or pollution
incident is essential to a plan for protecting such resources.  It will
provide a basis for determining the magnitude of control actions required
to protect the water users.

Attachment B-2 indicates beneficial use areas on the Mississippi River
adjacent to the State of Louisiana.


B-3  Action Sites

Quick reaction to a discharge or pollution incident is necessary to pre-
vent adverse affect on the environment.  Thus it is necessary to have
pre-selected points that provide ready access to the watercourse.  These
points, termed "action sites", are places where monitoring and/or control
activities can be carried out to reduce or eliminate detrimental effects
of the pollutant.

Attachment B-3 indicates action sites for the Mississippi River in the
State of Louisiana.
B-4  Time of Travel
It is highly desirable that the ability to rapidly estimate the time re-
quired for a slug of water to flow between any two points along a stream
be developed in the region.  This information, along with the time and
location of a discharge, provides the tool for approximating the movement
of a pollutant downstream to water use and action sites.

The attached current Flow Chart indicates the time of travel for the
Mississippi River at various stages.  (Attachment B-4)
                                  B-l

-------
B-5  Potential Sources of Pollution

These sites, such as landings, pipeline crossings, etc., are points that
have a potential for contributing oil or hazardous materials to the environ-
ment.

Attachment B-5 indicates potential sources of pollution for the Mississippi
River in the State of Louisiana.
B-6  Manpower and Equipment

A discharge of oil or hazardous material will require rapid mobilization
of resources to preclude the development of a serious damage to the
environment.

A listing of men, material and equipment is being developed for the
navigable streams in the State of Louisiana.

                        Fish Spawning Areas

                         Mississippi River
Spawning areas in the Mississippi River are largely dependent upon the
levee system and local terrain.  Below Baton Rouge, levees on the east
and west bank closely follow the river, restricting spawning to the
main river.  Farther north the levees are less restricting, creating back-
water spawning areas during high river stages.  The fact that some
tributaries flow into the river north of Baton Rouge adds to the spawning
potential in these areas.  The marsh area in and around the mouth of the
river offers vast spawning areas for species able to tolerate slightly
brackish conditions.

Spawning times are mainly dependent upon water temperature.  Therefore,
spawning in the south would take place earlier in the year than.in colder
northern areas.  On the southern end of the Mississippi, spawning usually
begins during late February and early March and continues through
September and October, depending upon the species.  In the northern areas
spawning time generally begins a month later.

Figure B-2 indicates the major backwater areas and approximate size of
these areas in the Lower Mississippi River Alluvial Basin.  These areas
constitute the principal spawning locales.

                    APPENDIX C - STATE OF NEW MEXICO
C-l  State Plans
C-2  Beneficial Use Areas

A knowledge of water uses that may be affected by a discharge or pollu-
tion incident is essential to a plan for protecting such resources.  It
will provide a basis for determining the magnitude of control actions
required to protect the water users.
C-3  Action Sites

Quick reaction to a discharge or pollution incident is necessary to
prevent adverse affect on the environment.  Thus it is necessary to have
pre-selected points that provide ready access to the watercourse.
These points, termed "action sites", are places where monitoring and/or
control activities can be carried out to reduce or eliminate detrimental
effects of the pollutant.
C-4  Time of Travel
It is highly desirable that the ability to rapidly estimate the time re-
quired for a slug of water to flow between any two points along a stream
be developed in the region.  This information, along with the time and
location of a discharge, provides the tool for approximating the movement
of a pollutant downstream to water use and action sites.


C-5  Potential Sources of Pollution
C-6  Manpower and Equipment

A discharge of oil or hazardous material will require rapid mobilization
of resources to preclude the development of a serious damage to the
environment.

                     APPENDIX D - STATE OF OKLAHOMA
D-l  State Plans

The State of Oklahoma has no laws or regulations regarding the use of
chemicals to sink or disperse oil.  The decision on their use is under
the Department of Pollution Control.  The Executive Secretary of that
agency indicates that they object to use of any material  that would cause
a violation of the water quality standards.


D-2  Beneficial Use Areas

A knowledge of water uses that may be affected by a discharge or pollution
incident is essential to a plan for protecting such resources.  It will
provide a basis for determining the magnitude of control  actions required
to protect the water users.

Attachment D-2 will list the water use areas in the Verdigris and
Arkansas Rivers within the State of Oklahoma.
D-3  Action Sites

Quick reaction to a discharge or pollution incident is necessary to pre-
vent adverse affect on the environment.  Thus it is necessary to have pre-
selected points that provide ready access to the watercourse.  These
points, termed "action sites", are places where monitoring and/or control
activities can be carried out to reduce or eliminate detrimental effects
of the pollutant.

Attachment D-3 will list the action sites for the Verdigris and Arkansas
Rivers in the State of Oklahoma.
D-4  Time of Travel
It is highly desirable that the ability to rapidly estimate the time
required for a slug of water to flow between any two points along a stream
be developed in the region.  This information, along with the time and
location of a discharge, provides the tool for approximating the movement
of a pollutant downstream to water use and action sites.

Information will  be developed for the Verdigris and Arkansas Rivers.

D-5  Potential Sources of Pollution

These sites, such as landings, pipeline crossings, etc. are points that
have a potential for contributing oil or hazardous material to the
environment.  Such listings will be developed for navigable waters in the
State of Oklahoma.
D-6  Manpower and Equipment

A discharge of oil or hazardous material will require rapid mobilization
of resources to preclude the development of a serious damage to the
environment.

A listing of men, material and equipment is being developed for the State
of Oklahoma.  Such information will be revised every six months to keep
it as current as possible.

                      APPENDIX E - STATE OF TEXAS
E-l  State Plans

The Texas Water Quality Board and the Texas Railroad Commission are
jointly involved in responding to discharges of oil and/or hazardous
substances in the State.

     Texas Water Quality Board

     No detergents or other oil clean-up chemicals are to be used at
     any point without approval of the Texas Water Quality Board
     Representative or the Texas Parks and Wildlife Representative.

     Industry cooperatives are encouraged for use in cleaning up
     discharges.

     The industry responsible for a spill is requested to initiate
     the maximum possible response to the discharge.

     The Texas Water Quality Board and/or the Texas Railroad
     Commission is responsible for keeping all state agencies fully
     informed of the progress of clean-up operations and of needs
     during clean-up operations.

     A final report on each major spill will be made by the Texas
     Water Quality Board.
E-2  Beneficial Use Areas

A knowledge of water uses that may be affected by a discharge or pollution
incident is essential to a plan for protecting such resources.  It will
provide a basis for determining the magnitude of control actions required
to protect the water users.

Attachment E-2 will list the water use areas for navigable waters in
Texas.
