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. 104 Abbreviations 104.1 Department and Agency Title Abbreviations CEQ - Council on Environmental Quality DHEW - Department of Health, Education and Welfare Commerce - Department of Commerce DOD - Department of Defense Corps -U.S. Army Corps of Engineers USN - U.

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. 600 - PROCEDURES FOR CHANGING THE PLAN AND ANNEXES 601 - Amendments of the Plan and Annexes 601.1 This Plan may be amended by EPA with the concurrence of the Agencies affected by such changes. -16- ------- ANNEX I 1100 DISTRIBUTION 1101 General Distribution 1101.1 This Plan and all approved amendments and changes will be distributed to the Primary and Advisory Agencies, and such other Federal, State, local and private agencies and organizations which are cooperating with and participating in activities in support of the Plan. 1102 National Distribution 1102.1 Twenty-five copies of this Plan, all proposed amendments, all approved amendments and all approved changes will be forwarded to EPA Headquarters. 1103 Federal Agency Distribution 1103.1 The following Federal agencies will receive regional level distribution as indicated: Element No. of Copies Field Representative 2 Southwest Field Committee .

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.

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. * -5- ------- Change No. 1 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- ------- Change No. 1 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. -10- ------- Change No. 1 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 -lOa- ------- Change No. 1 July 1972 programs whenever practicable. Upon receipt of information, either from deliberate or random discovery activities, that a discharge has occurred, the RRC 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- ------- Change No. 1 July 1972 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 Regional Response Center 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- ------- Change No. 1 July 1972 ANNEX III 1300 REGIONAL RESPONSE CENTER 1301 Regional Response Center Location 1301.1 The Regional Response Center (RRC) is located in the Region VI office of the Environmental Protection Agency, Dallas, Texas. 1302 RRC Purpose 1302.1 The purpose of the RRC is to provide physical facilities for coordination and control of a pollution incident in or affecting inland navigable waters of the region. 1303 Responsibility for RRC 1303.1 The Regional Administrator, EPA, will provide the necessary communications and plotting facilities and equipment.

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.

Forrest * XX-5 ------- Change No. 1 July 1972 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.

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.

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.

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. (d) Contact water-users in critical area of the spill. (e) Send pollution reports to National Response Center with timely information on a discharge including the situation 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. (5) The Regional Response Team (RRT) consists of representatives of the Environ- 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: • (a) Monitor incoming reports and maintain an awareness of proposed actions of the OSC. (b) Coordinate the actions of the various agencies in supplying needed assistance to the OSC. (c) Provide advice and recommend courses of action for considera- tion by the OSC. ------- (d) Request other agencies and groups to consider taking appropriate 'response action.

V-26 ------- ANNEX VI 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.

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.

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 in Title 32, Chapter XVII, Part 1709, "Reimbursement of Other Federal Agencies Performing Major Disaster Relief Functions." 1903.2 The Director may also make financial assistance available to State Governments and through the States to Local governments in accordance with policies and procedures stated in Title 32, Chapter XVII, Part 1710, "Federal Disaster Assistance." IX-2 ------- 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. IX-4 ------- 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. XI-1 ------- ANNEX XV 2500 TECHNICAL INFORMATION 2501 Technical Library 2501.1 A technical library of pertinent pollution control technical documents will be maintained in the RRC. Such information should be useful as reference information to the experienced OSC and instructional to less experienced personnel. 2502 Specific References 2502.1 As a minimum the following reference documents will be maintained in the RRC technical library: 2502.1-1 Current National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan. 2502.1-2 Current Regional Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan. 2502.1-3 Oil and Hazardous Materials, Emergency Procedures in the Water Environment.

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" 'dull1 'dark' Note: per square mile 25 50 100 200 666 1332 Appearance barely visible under most favorable light conditions visible as a silvery sheen on surface water first trace of color may be observed bright bands of color are visible colors begin to turn dull brown much darker brown Each one-inch thickness of oil equals 5.61 gallons per square yard or 17,378,709 gallons per square mile. XV-5 ------- 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. 2503.36 ULLAGE: The amount by which a tank or vessel lacks being filled. (See also OUTAGE) 2503.37 VISCOSITY; The property of liquids which causes them to resist instantaneous change of shape, or instantaneous 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.

Purpera XX-5 ------- 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.

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.

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. B-4 ------- Cape Girardeau LA MORGANZA FLOO Baton Area VICINITY MAP DRAINAGE BASIN OF MISSISSIPPI RIVER SCALE IN MILES LEGEND LEVEE.
