OIL AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES
POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN
FOR INLAND WATERS
REGION IX
100 INTRODUCTION
101 Background and Authority
101.1 The development of a national awareness and concern
over the hazards and damages to water-related resources from
oil pollution can be traced in large part to the sinking of
the tanker, TORREY CANYON. This marine casualty.off the
south coast of England caused a massive oil discharge with a
tragic destruction of water-related resources along both the
English and French coasts. But more importantly, it galva-
nized 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 need for Federal action in a report, Oil Pollution - A
Report to the President (February 1968).Regarding contin-
gency planning, the report stated, "Such planning must be
done at a 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 controlling 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 In Public Law 91-224, the 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 effective action to minimize damage
from oil discharges ... The President, in section 4 (a),
Executive Order 11548, July 22, 1970, delegated authority and
responsibility to the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ)
to carry out subsection (c) (2) of Section 11 of the Act,
providing for the preparation, publication, revision, and
amendment of a National Contingency Plan for the removal
of oil."
-------
The National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution
Contingency Plan was developed by the CEQ in June 1970, and
revised in August, 1971. The revised National Contingency
Plan, after publication in the Federal Register (36 F.R. 162,
August 20, 1971, p. 16215, et seq.), became the national
required procedure for response to spills of oil and hazardous
materials. This document is directed toward fulfilling the
responsibilities outlined under the law.
101.3 The Federal Water Pollution Control Act as amended
(33 U.S.C. 1151, et seq.) and the National Contingency Plan
also specify the requirement for preparation of regional,
state, subregional, and local contingency plans for spills
of the subject materials. The Department of Transportation
(U.S. Coast Guard) is responsible for regional plans for
coastal waters. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is
responsible for regional plans for inland waters, and this
revised plan was prepared to satisfy the latter requirement.
Criteria for preparation of state, subregional and local plans
have been developed by EPA and published in the Federal Register
(36 F.R. 228, November 25, 1971) and the Code of Federal
Regulations (40 CFR 109). The latter document is available
from EPA, Region IX, upon request.
101.4 Federal agencies whose actions or operations involve
handling, usage, or development of oil or hazardous materials
are also required to develop spill prevention and contingency
plans, and the above referenced criteria apply to these plans.
(Executive Order 11507, February 5, 1970 and the National
Contingency Plan)
101.5 Certain industrial dischargers are also required, as
a special condition for a Federal permit (i.e., a Refuse Act
Permit), to develop spill prevention and contingency plans.
The above referenced criteria also apply to this requirement
(36 F.R. 67 of April 7, 1971, or 33 CFR Chap. 2. 209. 131).
101.6 The EPA has been delegated some additional responsibi-
lities relating to both coastal and inland waters, among which
are those related to the granting of permits for discharge of
oil for demonstration or research purposes; specifying the
usage of chemicals in oil spill incidents; administering spill
prevention regulations on non-transportation related facilities;
defining legal limitations on discharges of oil; assuring
preparation of state, sub-regional, and local contingency plans
for spills; and instituting legal action to secure relief from
an imminent or substantial threat of a discharge of oil into
or upon the navigable waters of the United States.

102 Purpose and Objectives
102.1 This Plan (including annexes) provides a pattern of
coordination and integrated response by departments and agencies
of the Federal Government to protect the environment from the
damaging effects of pollution spills. It also promotes the
coordination and direction of Federal, state, and local
response systems and the development of local government and
private capabilities to handle such pollution spills.
102.2 The objectives of this plan ares to develop appropriate
preventive and preparedness measures and effective systems for
discovering and reporting the existence of a pollution spill;
to institute, promptly, measures to restrict the further spread
of the pollutant; to assure that the public health and welfare
are provided adequate protection; to apply techniques to clean
up and dispose of the collected pollutants; and to institute
actions to recover cleanup costs and to effect enforcement of
existing Federal statutes. Detailed guidance toward the
accomplishment of these objectives is contained in the basic
plan, the annexes, and the sub-regional plans.
103 Scope
103.1 This plan is for the inland waters, their tributaries,
and adjoining shorelines located within the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), Region IX, which includes the states
of Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, the territories of
American Samoa and Guam, and the Trust Territories of the
Pacific Islands.
103.2 The provisions of this Regional Oil and Hazardous
Substances Contingency Plan are applicable to all Federal
agencies. Implementation of the plan will be within the
framework of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances
Contingency Plan, and will be compatible and complementary
to currently effective joint international contingency plans,
assistance plans, agreements, security regulations, and
responsibilities based upon Federal statutes and executive
orders.

105.1 Act — means the Federal Water Pollution Control Act,
as amended (33 U.S.C. 1151, et seq.)
105.2 Advisory Agencies — are those departments or agencies
which can make ma]or contributions during response activities
for certain types of spills. These agencies are: Commerce,
DHEW, Justice, OEP, and designated state and sub-regional or
local agencies (See Section 305.1).
105.3 Coastal Waters — generally are both those U.S. marine
waters navigable by deep draft vessels and the tidal waters
along coasts, in bays and estuaries, to those boundaries
mutually agreed upon by USCG and EPA. As the division point
between inland and coastal waters (See Annex IV).
105.4 Contiguous Zone — the area adjacent to the territorial
sea (navigable waters) extending seaward nine miles further
out from land to an outer line twelve miles from land.
105.5 Discharge — includes, but is not limited to, any
spillage, seepage, leaking, pumping, pouring, emitting,
emptying, or dumping.
105.6 Hazardous Polluting Substance — is matter of any
description or origin other than oil which, when discharged
into any waters in quantities, presents an imminent and
substantial hazard to the public health or welfare, including
finfish, shellfish, or wildlife, and shorelines and beaches,
or threatens to lower the water quality below the criteria of
the applicable water quality standards.
105.7 Inland Waters — generally are those navigable fresh
waters upstream from coastal waters and include water courses
of all types, seas, lakes, ponds, or impoundments, and land
areas.
-------
6.
105.8 Major Disaster — any flood, drought, fire, hurricane,
earthquake, storm, or other catastrophe in any part of the
United States which, in the determination of the President,
is or threatens to become of sufficient severity and magnitude
to warrant disaster assistance by the Federal Government to
supplement the effort and available resources of state and
local governments in alleviating damage, loss, hardship or
suffering.
105.9 Major Spill — a spill of oil of more than 10,000 gallons
in the inland waters inland of a line drawn across the ocean
headlands, or more than 100,000 gallons in the coastal waters,
or a spill of any material of any size of such nature and quantity
that human health or welfare are substantially threatened (See
Section 105.11 also).
105.10 Medium Spill — a spill of oil of 1001 gallons to
10,000 gallons in the inland waters inland of a line drawn
across the ocean headlands, of 10,001 gallons to 100,000
gallons in the coastal waters, or a spill of any material of
any size that poses a threat to the water quality or aquatic
environment (See also Section 105.11).
105.11 Minor Spill — a spill of oil of less than 1000 gallons
in the inland waters inland of a line drawn across the ocean
headlands, or less than 10,000 gallons in the coastal waters,
or a spill of small quantities of other substances. Note:
Spills that (1) occur in or endanger critical water areas;
(2) receive major display in the public press; (3) become the
focus of an enforcement action; (4) pose a threat to human
health or welfare, should be classified as a medium or major
spill, depending upon the degree of impact.
105.12 Navigable Waters —'• For purposes of delineating
applicability of this plan and agency responsibilities for
response to spills of oil and hazardous materials, navigable
waters are defined herein as (a) those waterways which have
been used or were suitable for use in the past by the public
for purposes of interstate or foreign trade or commerce, (b)
those waterways presently used or suitable for use by the public
for purposes of sport boating, trade, or commerce and (c) those
waterways which could be made suitable in the future by reason-
able improvements for use by the public for purposes of trade
or commerce, (d) those waterways delimited by Federal court or
agency action as "navigable," (e) all of those marine waters
affected by the ebb and flow of the tides and (f) primary
tributaries to the above waters (See Section 105.13 and Annex IV).

designated to have primary responsibility and resources to
promote effective operation of this plan. These agencies are;
DOD, DOT, DOI, the EPA, and those Federal and state agencies
designated in Section 305.1, for sub-regional plans.
105.17 Public Health or Welfare — includes consideration of
all factors affecting the health and welfare of man, including
but not limited to, human health, the natural environment,
fish, shellfish, wildlife, and public and private property,
shorelines, and beaches.
105.18 Remove or Removal — The removal of oil or hazardous
polluting substance from the water and shorelines, or the
taking of such other actions as may be necessary to minimize
or mitigate damage to the public health or welfare.
105.19 United States — means the States, the District of
Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Canal Zone,
Guam, American Samoa, the Virgin Islands, and the Trust
Territory of the Pacific Islands.
200 POLICY AND RESPONSIBILITY
201 Federal Policy
201.1 The Congress has declared that it is the policy of the
United States that there should be no discharges of oil into
or upon the navigable waters of the United States, adjoining
shorelines, or into or upon the waters of the contiguous
zone [Section 11 (b) (1) of the Act]. Additionally, Sections
12 (c) and 11 (b) (4) of the Act require the reporting of
discharges of hazardous polluting substances and oil to
appropriate authority and authorizes Federal cleanup actions.
Further, the discharge in harmful quantities of oil into or
upon the waters of the contiguous zone is prohibited except
where permitted in quantities and at times and locations or
under such circumstances or conditions as the President may,
by regulation, determine. It must also be emphasized that
this Nation, in November 1970, announced a goal of no intentional
discharges of oil to the seas by the end of this decade.
-------
8.
201.2 The primary thrust of regional plans 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 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 to remove the pollutant or adequately mitigate
its effects. The OSC should, if practicable, insure that the
person responsible for the spill is aware of his responsibility
and is encouraged to undertake necessary countermeasures.
When such person is taking adequate action, the principal
thrust of Federal activities shall be to observe and monitor
progress and to provide advice and counsel as may be necessary.
In the event that the person responsible for a pollution
spill 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
response actions shall be instituted as required in accordance
with Section 11 (c) (1) 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 the National Oil and Hazardous Materials
Pollution Contingency Plan, as supplemented by this Regional
Plan. Agencies making resources available shall make such
assignments consistent with operational requirements, within
the limits of existing authority and within the spirit of the
President's intentions to minimize discharges and their effects
when they do occur.
201.4 Because Federal agencies other than the OEP, or the
public or private agency that caused the pollution spill, have
primary responsibility and resources for alleviating or
eliminating the pollution hazard, there appears to be little
additional Federal assistance that could be made available as
the result of a major disaster declaration. It appears, there-
fore, that a Presidential major disaster declaration will
rarely be involved in a pollution spill.
202 Federal Responsibility
202.1 Each of the primary Federal agencies and Advisory Federal
agencies has responsibilities established by statute, Executive
Order or Presidential Directive, which may bear on the Federal
response to a pollution spill. This Plan intends to promote the
expeditious and harmonious discharge of these responsibilities
through the recognition of authority for action by those agencies
having the most appropriate capability to act in each specific
situation. Responsibilities and authorities of these several
-------
agencies, relevant to the control of pollution spills, are
detailed in the annexes. In the development of this Regional
Plan, provision will be made to assure recognition of the
statutory responsibilities of all involved agencies.
202.2 The Council on Environmental Quality is responsible for
the preparation, publication, revision or amendment of the
National Contingency Plan in accordance with Section 4(a)
Executive Order 11548. The Council will receive the advice
of the NRT on necessary changes to the plan and shall insure
that any disagreements arising among members of the NRT are
expeditiously settled.
202.3 The Environmental Protection Agency is responsible for
chairing the National Response Team and the inland Regional
Response Team. In this capacity, it will assure that the
Plan is effectively and efficiently implemented with optimum
coordination among Federal agencies, and it will recommend
changes in the Plan to the CEQ, as deemed necessary.
Additionally, EPA has responsibility for publishing this
Plan. The EPA is also responsible for development, revision,
and implementation, as necessary, of regional plans for the
inland navigable waters; and for which it has responsibility
to furnish or provide for the OSC. Through its resources,
the EPA will provide technical expertise to the NRT and RRT's
relative to water pollution control techniques, including
assessment of damages and environmental restoration measures.
202.4 The Department of Transportation, through the U.S. Coast
Guard, serves as vice-chairman of the NRT, chairman of the
coastal Regional Response Team, and supplies expertise in the
fields of navigation, port safety and security, and maritime
law enforcement. Additionally, the Coast Guard maintains
continuously manned facilities that are capable of command,
control, and surveillance for spills occurring on the coastal
waters of the United States or the high seas. The Coast
Guard is responsible for implementing, developing and revising,
as necessary, the regional plans for those areas where it is
assigned, the responsibility to furnish or provide OSC's
(Section 306.2). The EPA will provide guidance to and
coordinate with the DOT regarding pollution control and the
protection of water and related land resources in preparation
of such plans.
202.5 The Department of Commerce, through NOAA and Mar Ad,
provides support to the NRT, RRT, and OSC with respect to:
marine environmental data, living marine resources; current
and predicted meteorological, hydrologic, and oceanographic
conditions for the high seas, coastal, and inland waters;
design, construction, and operation of merchant ships; and
maps and charts, including tides and currents for coastal and
territorial waters.
-------
10.
202,6 The Department of Health, Education, and Welfare is
responsible for providing expert advice and assistance
relative to those spills that constitute or may consitute a
threat to public health and safety.
202o7 The Department of Defense, consistent with its
operational requirements, may provide assistance in critical
pollution spills, and in the maintenance of navigation
channels, salvage, and removal of navigation obstructions.
202.8 The Department of the Interior, through the USGS,
supplies expertise in the fields of oil drilling, producing,
handling, pipeline transportation. Also, the USGS has
access to and supervision over continuous manned facilities
which can be used for command, control, and surveillance of
spills occurring from operations conducted under the Outer
Continental Shelf Lands Act, Additionally, the Department
of the Interior will provide, through its Regional Coordina-
tors, technical expertise to the OSC and the RRT with respect
to land, fish and wildlife, and other resources for which
it is responsible. The DOI is also responsible for American
Somoa and the Trust Territory.
202.9 The Department of Justice can supply expert legal
advice to deal with complicated judicial questions arising
from spills and Federal Agency responses.
202.10 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 respect
for a major disaster declaration receive from a Governor of
a State. If the President declares that a pollution spill
constitutes a major disaster under PL 91-606, the Director,
OEP, will provide coordination and direction of the Federal
response in accordance with OEP policies and procedures.
202.11 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 spill
transects international boundaries or involves foreign flag
vessels.
202.12 All Federal agencies are responsible for minimizing
the occurrence of spills and for developing the capability to
respond promptly in cases of spills from facilities they
operate or supervise, and for making resources available for
Regional spill response operations. Primary agencies, however,
have the following additional responsibilities: for leading
all Federal agencies in programs to minimize the number of
and environmental damage associated with spills from facilities
-------
11.
they operate or supervise; to develop, within their operating
agencies, the capability for a rapid, coordinated response to
any spill; for providing official representation to NRT and
RRT; for making information available as may be necessary; and
for keeping RRT informed, consistent with National security
consideration, of changes in the availability of resources
that would affect the operation of this Plan.
203 Non-Federal Responsibility
203.1 The participating states' agencies that are responsible
for water pollution control will coordinate directly with other
state groups, centralizing their particular capabilities. As
the respective states progress in developing plans to utilize
the resources available in their areas, this information will
become a part of this Regional Plan. The direct involvement
of state resources will be initiated through the directors of
the designated state operating authority for response to spills
of oil and hazardous materials.
203.2 The SOA will be the single spokesman to EPA for all
other state agencies. In addition, in the event state funds
become available for cleanup, these agencies would be expected
to have direct responsibility for their allocation.
204 Delineation of Responsibility to Respond to Spills
204.1 The National Contingency Plan relates to the navigable
waters of the United States and provides for response to spills
of all sizes into these. The Plan divides the responsibility
in navigable waters between EPA and the USCG. The USCG has
responsibility for receiving reports of and responding to
spills in coastal waters. EPA has similar responsibility
for spills into inland navigable waters.
204.2 Responsibility for receiving reports of and responding
to spills in non-navigable waters rests with the several states,
territories, and/or sub-regional agencies as outlined in the
various local plans. (See Appendixes B through J and
Section 306.2)
204.3 Responsibility for response to a spill occurring on a
Federal facility lies with the controlling Federal agency and
will be handled as outlined in Section 306.2 of the National
Contingency Plan.
-------
12.
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 the designated
representatives from the regional and district offices of
the primary and advisory agencies. On scene, at the dis-
cretion of the RRT or request of the OSC, an On-scene
Operations Team (OSOT) or Sub-regional Response Team (SRT),
may be assembled to advise and assist the OSC. Appropriate
members of the OSOT or SRT will be designated or changed at
any time by the heads of the regional primary and advisory
agencies. (
301.2 National level coordination is accomplished through the
NRT which receives reports from and renders advice to the
RRT. Activities are coordinated through the National and
various regional response centers.
302 National Response Center
302.1 The NRC, located at USCG Headquarters, in Washington, D. C.,
is the site for activities relative to pollution spills. NRC
quarters provide communications, information storage, necessary
personnel and facilities to promote the smooth and adequate
functioning of this activity.
303 National Response Team
303.1 The NRT consists of representatives from the primary
and advisory agencies. It serves as the national body for
planning and preparedness actions prior to a pollution spill
and acts as an emergency response team to be activated under
conditions specified in Section 303.3.
303.2 Planning and preparedness responsibilities of the
NRT are:
303.2-1 Maintenance of a continuing review of regional
spill response operations and equipment readiness to
insure adequacy of regional and national planning
and coordination for combating spills of oil and
hazardous substances.
-------
13.
303.2-2 Functional review of regional plans developed
by RRTs to insure that they fully coordinate involved
agencies. It shall serve as a body to which the RRTs
may refer for settlement of matters which they cannot
resolve.
303.2-3 Development of procedures to promote the
coordination of Federal, State, and local governments,
and private agencies to respond to pollution spills.
303.2-4 Establishment and maintenance of a standing
committee for revision of the National Plan. The NRT
shall provide membership on this standing committee.
Advisory agencies shall participate whenever revision
or proposed amendments would affect those agencies.
303.2-5 Maintenance of the national posture with
respect to pollution spills. Based on a continuing
evaluation of response actions, it shall consider and
make recommendations to appropriate agencies relating
to training and equipping response team personnel,
necessary research, development, demonstration, and
evaluation activities to support response capabilities,
listings of equipment, material stockpiling, and other
operational matters as the need arises. The CEQ shall
be advised of any agency's failure to adequately respond
to these recommendations. Committees shall be established,
as appropriate, to consider various matters. Membership
on these committees shall consist of the representatives
from primary agencies and such agencies that may have
direct involvement.
303.2-6 Establishment and maintenance of liaison with
the U.S. National Committee for the Prevention of
Pollution of the Seas by Oil in order to insure a
consistent United States posture regarding oil pollution
control. The NRT shall also maintain awareness of inter-
national coordination efforts in contingency planning.
303.3 During pollution spills, the NRT shall act as an
emergency response team comprised of representatives from the
primary and selected advisory agencies and may be activated
when the spill of oil or hazardous polluting substances (a)
exceeds the response capability of the region in which it
ocqurs, (b) involves National security, or (c) presents a
major hazard to substantial numbers of person or nationally
significant amounts of property. In addition, the NRT may
be activated for any spill when requested by any Primary
Agency representative. Any advisory agency may, by request
-------
14.
to the NRT, have a representative present whenever the NRT
is activated for response to a spill. When activated, the
NRT shall:
303.3-1 Monitor and evaluate reports generated by
the OSC insuring their completeness. Based on this
evaluation, the NRT may recommend courses of action
in combating the spill through the RRT for considera-
tion by the OSC. The NRT has no operational control
over the OSC.
303.3-2 Consider requesting that other Federal, State,
local government or private agencies take action under
their existing authorities to accomplish needed
objectives for the purpose of pollution control.
303.3-3 Coordinate the actions of regions or districts
other than those affected by spills to supply needed
equipment, personnel, or technical advice to the RRT
and OSC.
303.3-4 Act as the focal point for national public
information releases and for information transfer
between the OSC and the Washington, D. C., headquarters
of the agencies concerned, so as to minimize or prevent
dissemination of spurious and incomplete information.
Public information actions are discussed in Annex VI.
304 Regional Response Center
304.1 The Regional Response Center (RRC) for inland navigable
waters is located at the Region IX office of the EPA at
100 California Street, San Francisco, California. The
Regional Response Center will be accommodated in quarters
described in Annex III, and will provide communications,
information storage, and other necessary personnel and
facilities to promote the smooth and adequate functioning
and administration of this plan. The RRC for inland non-
navigable waters is as described in the individual state or
sub-regional contingency plans (See List of Appendixes,
page iv).
305 Regional Response Team
305.1 The Regional Response Team (RRT) consists of repre-
sentatives of the primary Federal Agencies, the SOA in the
state in which the spill occurs, and selected advisory agencies,
It functions as an emergency response team and shall be
automatically activated in the event of a major or potential
major spill occurring within the region. It may be activated
-------
15.
for any other spill if requested by any primary agency or
SOA representative of the team. Deactivation of the RRT
shall be by agreement among the EPA and USCG team members.
305.2 The RRT will assemble at the RRC, or at the scene or
at such locations designated at the time, by the EPA Regional
Administrator. The EPA Region IX Regional Administrator or
his representative will serve as chairman of the RRT.
305.3 The RRT will perform functions within the Region
similar to those performed nationally by the NRT. Generally,
these include planning, preparedness and response activities.
305.4 Each state lying within Region IX is invited to furnish
one member of the SOA or one observer to meetings of the RRT.
305.5 The planning and preparedness functions of the team
are outlined below:
305.5-1 Develop procedures to promote the coordinated
actions of all Federal, state, local government, and
private agencies during pollution incidents.
305.5-2 Assist in the preparation of amendments to
this Plan.
305.5-3 Review Sub-regional Contingency Plans and
make recommendations for improving the effectiveness
of such plans.
305.5-4 Review reports from the On-Scene Coordinator
on the treatment of major spills and pollution incidents
for the purpose of analyzing response actions and
recommending needed improvements in contingency plans.
305.5-5 Request that appropriate members be designated
to serve on the OSOT or SRT from other public agencies
on an incident or predesignated basis.
305.6 Response functions will be performed any time the
team is activated. The degree of response and therefore the
extent of the RRT activity would depend on the particular
situation. Specific functions of the RRT are outlined below:
305.6-1 Monitor incoming reports and evaluate the
possible impact of such spills. Maintain an awareness
or proposed actions by the OSC.
-------
16.
305.6-2 Coordinate the actions of the various agencies
in supplying needed assistance to the OSC. Assistance
will normally be obtained through the appropriate
member of the RRT.
305.6-3 Provide advice as required to the On-Scene
Coordinator, and recommend course of action for
consideration by the OSC. The RRT however, has no
direct operational control over the OSC; the RRT
may change the OSC at any time (See 305.6-7) during a
particular incident.
305.6-4 Determine the nature and extent of Federal
response required.
305.6-5 Recommend deployment of personnel to monitor
the handling of the spill.
305.6-6 Request other agencies and groups to consider
taking appropriate response action.
305.6-7 Determine when a shift of on-scene coordination
from the predesignated OSC is indicated by circumstances
or progress of a pollution spill.
305.6-8 Provide a focal point for public relations
(See Annex VI).
305.7 For the purpose of the development of regional
contingency plans, the Nation's waters are divided into state
oriented regions corresponding to EPA regional boundaries.
This region is further divided into smaller or sub-regional
areas which follow the general command and control boundaries
of the states or the agency providing the pre-designated
OSC. Their boundaries are delineated in Annex IV, and in
Appendixes B through F.
305.8 While the primary agency membership on the RRT is
established by the National Contingency Plan, individuals
representing the primary, state, and selected advisory
agencies may vary depending on the sub-regional area in which
the incident occurs. Details of such representation are
specified in Annex II.
306 On-Scene Coordination
306.1 Coordination and direction of Federal pollution control
efforts at the scene of a spill or a potential spill shall
be accomplished through the OSC. The OSC is the single
-------
17.
executive agent pre-designated by the 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 in a navigable water the first
responsible Federal official on the site shall assume
coordination of activities under the Plan until the
arrival of the predesignated OSC. If no Federal
official is on the site, the SOA representative shall
assume the coordination until a Federal official or
the predesignated OSC arrives. In the event of a spill
into a non-navigable inland water, the SOA will assume
the OSC role and the pertinent state contingency plan
will apply.
306.1-2 The OSC shall determine pertinent facts about
a particular spill, such as its potential impact on
human health, the nature, amount, location of material
spilled, probable direction and time of travel of the
material, resources and installations which may be
affected, and the priorities for protecting them.
306.1-3 The OSC shall initiate and direct as required
Phase II, Phase HI/ and IV operations as hereinafter
described.
306.1-4 The OSC shall call upon and direct the
deployment of needed resources in accordance with the
Regional Plan to initiate and continue containment,
countermeasures, cleanup, restoration, and disposal
functions.
306.1-5 The OSC shall provide necessary support
activities and documentation of Phase V activities.
- The EPA will have responsibility for enforcement in in-
land navigable waters, except as otherwise specified
by statute.
306.1-6 In carrying out this plan, the OSC will fully
inform and coordinate closely with the RRT to ensure
the maximum effectiveness of the Federal effort in
protecting the natural resources and environment from
pollution damage.
306.1-7 It is recognized that in some cases the OSC
may have other functions which must be performed along
with pollution control functions. If these "other
-------
18.
functions" are of such scope as to hinder proper
progress of action (as outlined as Phases I through V)
the RRT shall designate a new OSC for the incident.
306.2 The On-scene Coordinator (OSC) shall be the first
responsible Federal official on the scene until the arrival
of the predesignated OSC. Upon notification of a major spill
the OSC shall be responsible for coordination of activities
under the plan until one of the predesignated officials listed
below becomes available to take charge.
306.2-1 The predesignated OSC for inland navigable waters
is the Director, Division of Surveillance and Analysis,
the EPA, Region IX, or his designee, except as modified
below (See Annex II for names and telephone numbers).
306.2-2 California;
306.2-2-A Inland Navigable Waters; Because of
the general state of planning for emergency response
and existence and capability for emergency action
in the state and the respective legal responsibil-
ities of both the State and the EPA, for response
to spills of oil and hazardous materials, spills
in inland navigable waters will be through a
"Co-on-scene Coordinator" arrangement with the
state assuming a primary role. Reports of spills
will be received by the EPA who will relay the
report to the State. The State will respond to
these; keeping the EPA informed and asking for EPA's
assistance when desired. If response to a spill
is not made by the state, or if the spill is of
a size or circumstance to warrant significant
Federal participation, the primary role of OSC will
then be assumed by the EPA. EPA has legal responsi-
bility to respond to spills in these waters.
306.2-2-B Inland Non-navigable Waters: The SOA of
the State of California has sole jurisdiction for
receiving reports, and providing the OSC for
responding to these spills. The state OSC, however,
can obtain, by direct request to the EPA-OSC, for
spills in these areas, technical assistance in
connection with any phase or response to spills
in inland non-navigable waters.
306.2-2-C Coastal Waters; The U.S. Coast Guard
receives reports of, provides the OSC, and responds
to spills in coastal waters (See USCG, Region Nine,
Pollution Contingency Plan, December 1971).
-------
19.
306.2-3 In all other states and territories, in
Region IX, the pre-designated EPA—OSC will be responsi-
ble for receiving reports and responding to all spills
in inland navigable waters until such time as the
other individual states and territories develop a
response plan acceptable to the EPA for these waters,
camparable to that in California. When such plans are
developed, revised, appendixes will be furnished the
various concerned agencies.
306.3 In the event of a nuclear pollution spill, the co-
ordinator and response procedures of the Interagency Radiological
Assistance Plan shall apply.
307 Sub-Regional Response Areas
307.1 The determination as to the area of responsibility for
each area will be developed at the local level in order to
insure maximum use of the local resources and capabilities
as included in sub-regional plans.
307.2 It is expected that at Headquarters, international
coordination will be obtained between the U. S. Government and
Mexico, on inland waters between the two countries. As
this coordination is developed, it will be indicated in the
plan.
308 Sub-Regional Response Center
308.1 A third level operations center is also provided for.
In the case of a state it would be composed of state agencies
headed by the SOA or state water pollution control agency
designated as responsible for the state's action. Locations
for this center should be on-scene as near as possible to the
second level operations center.
309 Sub-Regional Response Team
309.1 The Sub-Regional Response Team will be comprised of
members of the RRT and a representative of the affected
states' SOA and such advisory agency representatives as the
RRT shall indicate.
400 FEDERAL RESPONSE OPERATIONS - RESPONSE PHASES
400.1 The actions taken to respond to a pollution spill 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;
-------
20.
Phase III. Cleanup and Disposal; 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 spill may be through deliberate dis-
covery procedures, such as vessel patrols, aircraft searches,
or similar procedures, or through random discovery by inci-
dental observations of government agencies, private agencies,
or the general public. Reports from random discovery may be
through fishing or pleasure boats, police departments,
telephone operators, port authorities, news media, etc. The
RRT function should be made known to such non-Federal discovery
sources through educational efforts to identify the channels
by which the RRT can most promptly be notified of the spill.
Insofar as possible, these sources will be organized into
alterting networks and detailed in the Sub-regional Contingency
Plans.
401.2 The location of the spill will determine reporting
procedures and the appropriate Federal agencies to be
notified. The severity of the spill is determined by the
nature and quantity of materials spilled, the location of the
spill, and the resources adjacent to the area which may be
affected by it. Annexes II and V detail alerting procedures
and communication links (See Section 503 on notification
requirements). The designated state SOA should be notified
of spills into inland non-navigable waters (See appropriate
state laws).
402 Phase II - Containment and Countermeasures
402.1 These are defensive actions to be initiated as soon
as possible after discovery and notification of a spill.
After the OSC determines that further Federal response actions
are needed and depending on the circumstances of each parti-
cular case, various actions may be taken. These may include
source control procedures, public health protection activities,
salvage operations, placement of physical barriers to halt
or slow the spread of 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 effect on water
related resources. Surveillance activities will be conducted
as needed to support Phase II and Phase III actions.
-------
21.
403 Phase III - Cleanup and Disposal
403.1 This includes those actions taken to remove the
pollutant from the water and related on-shore areas, such as
the collection devices, the removal of beach sand, and non-
polluting disposal of the pollutants which are recovered in
the cleanup process.
404 Phase IV - Restoration
404.1 This includes those actions taken to restore the
environment to its pre-spill condition, including assessment
of damages, and actual physical actions such as the re-seeding
of a shellfish bed.
405 Phase V - Recovery of Damages and Enforcement
405.1 This includes a variety of activities, depending on
the location and circumstances surrounding a particular spill.
Recovery Federal cleanup costs and recovery of damages done
to Federal, State or local government property is included;
however, third party damage is not considered in this phase.
Enforcement activities under appropriate authority such as
the Water Quality Act of 1970, 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 basic for research
and development activities and 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 of enforcement and other purposes. Enforcement
procedures, including investigative requirements, are detailed
in Annex VIII.
406 Procedures to be Followed for the Purpose of Water
Pollution Control
406.1 The agency furnishing the OSC for a particular area
is assigned the responsibility to undertake and implement
Phase I activities in that area. Other agencies should
incorporate Phase I activities into their on-going programs
whenever practicable. Upon receipt of information, either
from deliberate or random discovery activities, that a spill
has occurred, the OSC for the affected area will be notified.
Subsequent action and dissemination of information will be in
accordance with this plan.
-------
22.
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. Continuing
water pollution control techniques must receive the concurrence
of the representative on the RRT of the agency having
concomitant statutory authority.
406.3 The OSC is assigned responsibility for conduct of
Phase III activities utilizing techniques concurred in by
the representative on the RRT of the agency having concomitant
statutory authority.
406.4 The OSC is assigned responsibility for the conduct of
Phase IV activities utilizing techniques concurred in by the
RRT. If the RRT is deactivated during Phase IV activity,
the OSC must obtain concurrence for continuing water pollution
control techniques from the representative on the RRT of the
agency having concomitant statutory authority.
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 Regional Plan. In any circumstances
not covered by the Regional Plan, the use of chemicals must
be in accordance with Annex X, and must have the concurrence
of the EPA representative on the RRT; in his absence, the
concurrence of the EPA Regional Administrator, Region IX,
will be required, except where in the judgment of the OSC the
use of chemicals will prevent or substantially reduce hazard
to human life or limb or substantial hazard of fire to property.
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 or the
agency having concomitant authority.
502 Multi-regional Actions
502.1 In the event that a spill or a potential spill moves
from the area covered by one contingency plan into another
area, the authority to initiate pollution control actions
shall shift as may be appropriate. In the event a polluting
-------
23.
spill or potential spill affects areas covered by two or
more regional plans, the response mechanism called for by
both plans shall be activated; however, pollution control
actions shall be fully coordinated as detailed in Annex IV.
502.2 There shall be only one On-Scene Coordinator at any
time during the course of a spill response. Should a spill
affect two or more areas; the RRT will designate the OSC,
giving prime considerations to the area vulnerability to the
greatest damage. The NRT shall designate the OSC if members
on one RRT, or two adjacent RRTs, if appropriate, are unable
to agree on the designation.
503 Notification
503.1 Sections 11 and 12 of the Act require that all harm-
ful discharges of oil and all discharges of hazardous sub-
stances into or upon the navigable waters of the U.S. must
be reported immediately to the appropriate Federal authority.
Designation of the Federal agents to receive such reports are
contained in Title 33, Part 153, Subpart B, CFR, published by
the USCG, and are available through the agency's district
headquarters. Such reports are to be made to the nearest USCG
or EPA office, which will, on a reciprocal basis, refer notice
of the spill to the agency having jurisdiction. Section 11(b)(4)
states:
(4) Any person in charge of a vessel or of an off-
shore facility shall, as soon as he has knowledge
of any discharge of oil from such vessel or facility
in violation of paragraph (2) of this subsection,
immediately notify the appropriate agency of the
United States Government of such discharge. Any
such person who fails to notify immediately such
agency of such discharge shall, upon conviction,
be fined not more than $10,000, or imprisoned for
not more than one year, or both. Notification
received pursuant to this paragraph or information
obtained by the exploitation of such notification
shall not be used against any such person in any
criminal case, except a prosecution for perjury
or for giving a false statement.
503.2 Federal regulations (33 CFR 153, Subparts A and B)
and the National Contingency Plan stipulate to whom reports
of spills should be made, to fulfill the required reporting.
In inland navigable waters, the report should be made to the
EPA. In coastal waters, the report should be made to the
U.S. Coast Guard. A reciprocal arrangement exists between
the two to take any reported spill and if not in its own
area of jurisdiction, to relay the report to the other agency.
-------
24.
503.3 Spillers are cautioned not to place themselves in jeopardy
of legal action for failure to report a spill on an assumption
that a particular spill may not reach a navigable water or its
tributary. A spill on a watershed area ma'y later reach a
navigable stream with run-off from rainfall.
503.4 State laws regarding requirement's for reporting spills
vary widely and the spiller should be/aware of these. The
safest recourse is to report all spil/ls. The EPA will relay
all spill reports into inland water /areas to the appropriate
State Operating Authority(SOA),and all spill reports into
coastal waters to the nearest U.S/ Coast Guard District.
504 General Pattern of Response Actions
504.1 When the On-scene Coordinator receives a report of a
spill, or potential spill, the report should be evaluated
immediately. In most situations' the sequence of actions
shown below should be followed. ,
504.1-1 Investigate the report to determine pertinent
information, such as the threat posed to public health
or welfare, the type and quantity of material spilled,
and the source of spill. I
504.1-2 Effect notification in accordance with Annex II,
if the spill is significant.
504.1-3 Designate the severity of the situation and
determine the future course of action to be followed.
504.2 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.
504.2-1 If the investigation shows that the initial
information overstated the magnitude or danger of the
spill and there is no possibility of present or future
air or water pollution likely to be involved, it should
be considered a "false alarm" or "non-actionable," and
the case referred to the state F&G, SEPA, SHD, or SWPC
and the EPA.
504.2-2 If the investigation shows a minor spill with
improper action being taken, the following measures
should be taken:
a. The OSC should notify the appropriate state and
local officials. He should keep the Regional
Response Center (RRC) advised and initiate Phase II
and III activities as conditions warrant.
-------
25.
b. An attempt should be made to prevent further
discharges from the source.
c. The discharger should be advised of the proper
action to be taken.
d. If, after providing advice to the discharger
and this advice is not followed, the discharger
should be warned of any violations of law or legal
responsibility for cleanup.
e. Information should be gathered for possible
enforcement action.
504.2-3 When the initial report of the investigation
indicates that a medium spill has occurred or that
a potential medium spill situation exists, the OSC
should follow the same general procedures as for a
minor spill. Additionally, the OSC should make a
recommendation on convening the RRT.
504.2-4 When a report indicates that a major spill
has occurred, that a potential major spill situation
exists, or that a spill or potential spill which could
arouse wide public concern has occurred, the OSC should
follow the same procedures as for minor or medium spills.
RRC and NRT should, however, be notified immediately
of the situation even if the initial report has not
been confirmed.
505 Strike Force for Inland Waters
505.1 Within Region IX, EPA has established a regional
strike force, headed by Mr. B. David Clark, Director of the
Surveillance and Analysis Division. Depending upon the type
and seriousness of the spill incident, the composition of,
and the activation of any part of this strike force will be
at his discretion.
505.2 A nucleus National level strike force, consisting of
personnel trained, prepared, and available to provide the
necessary services to carry out this plan has been established
by the USCG. This force has a unit located on the West Coast.
The National level strike force will be available, if requested
to assist in response during pollution spills. EPA may request
assistance of the National level strike force through the
appropriate USCG District Commander, Area Commander, or the
Commandant, USCG for assistance in inland water spills. The
strike force will direct the operation of any government-owned
specialized pollution cleanup equipment and will function
under the OSC.
-------
26.
505.3 Local strike force teams, consisting of personnel
from operating units within the region, will be designated
as soon as all state and local plans are developed and
coordinated with the Regional Plan. They shall be trained,
prepared, and available to provide necessary services to
implement the Plan. The services of the local strike force
teams will be obtained through the District Commander, USCG,
for coastal water areas; or through EPA Regional Headquarters
(San Francisco)for inland water areas. These teams are to
be capable of merging with other strike forces within the
region, and within their respective areas of legal operation.
They are to be capable of supplementing the National level
strike force. The local strike force teams should be capable
of full independent response to all minor spill situations,
and joint coordinative response to medium or major spill
situations.
506 Nuclear Pollution
506.1 In the event of a nuclear pollution incident the
procedures of the Interagency Radiological Assistance Plan
shall apply.
600 AMENDMENTS AND CHANGES

Annex VIII
1800 ENFORCEMENT PROCEDURES
1801 Introduction
1801.1 The OSC in charge at the scene of a pollution
incident may be from any one of several agencies. Therefore
it is necessary to establish uniform procedures for notifi-
cation of counsel, collection of samples and information
consistent with several phases in Federal response situation.
Necessary information and sample collection must be performed
at the proper times during the Federal involvement in a
spill for the purpose of later use in identifying the party
responsible, in cleanup cost recovery, damage recovery, and
civil and criminal enforcement actions under appropriate
Federal statutes. Time is of great importance since wind,
tide and currents may disperse or remove the evidence and
witnesses may no longer be available. Thus during the
phases of discovery and notification, containment and
countermeasures, cleanup and disposal, and restoration,
the OSC must take the necessary action to put counsel on
notice of the event and to ensure that information, records,
and samples adequate for legal and research purposes are
obtained and safeguarded for future use.
1802 Notification of Counsel
1802.1 Immediately upon notification that a spill has
occurred, the RRT or NRT members, as appropriate, shall
notify their respective regional and departmental attorneys,
as provided herein.
1802.2 Initial coordination of appropriate counsel will
be effected by counsel of the Department responsible for
furnishing the OSC. Coordination will be for joint and
separate actions concerning legal matters regarding the
operation of the Plan, sending of notices, advice regarding
the handling of evidence, preparation of evidentiary state-
ments , and referral of the matter to the Justice Department
or appropriate U.S. Attorney.
1802.3 The information and reports obtained by the OSC
are to be transmitted 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 the RRT
having cost recovery or enforcement authority will then
refer copies of the pollution reports to his respective
agency counsel.
-------
2.
1803 Legal Notice to Ship Operators and Others
1803-1 Notice to the ship or facility operator/ owner, or
other appropriate responsible person indicating Federal inter-
est and potential action in a spill, shall be prepared and
sent by the Agency responsible for furnishing the OSC. 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
National Contingency Plan and Federal regulations, identifi-
cation 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 >n Phase I, IT, and III as
described in Section 400
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 per-
mission 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 spillage 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

1500 NOTIFICATION; REPORTING AND COMMUNICATIONS
1501 Purpose
1501.1 To inform and advise the OSC, RRT and NRT of a spill
situation and set forth the procedures to be followed in
preparing and transmitting the reports on a spill.
1502 Objectives
1502.1 The objectives of the communications and reports
are:
x
1502.1-1 To alert the appropriate OSC of a spill
situation.
1502.1-2 To speed the flow of information pertaining
to an incident;
1502.1-3 To relay advice, instruction and reports
pertaining to an incident; and
1502.1-4 To provide for alerting, notification,
surveillance, and warning of a pollution spill.
1503 Communications Procedures
1503.1 The person initially reporting the spill to
the OSC or RRT should use telephone (Collect) if
possible; otherwise, telegraph.
1503.2 Normal communication circuits of each Primary
Agency may be used to effectuate this Plan. The
National and District or Regional offices and telephone
numbers of primary alerting and notification offices of
interested agencies will be maintained in the NRC,
RRCs (see Annex II).
1503.3 The initial reporting of a pollution spill to
the OSC by an individual person will be in accordance
with the information and format as shown in Section
1504.
1503.4 POLREPS (Pollution Reports) will be submitted
by the OSC to the RRT and by the RRT to NRT in a timely
-------
2.
manner as developments occur and at least twice daily
at 0800 and 2000 local time each day of the operation
for medium and major spills.
1504 Pollution Spill Reports
1504.1 Alerting or Initial Report to the PCS by an
individual person should provide as much known infor-
mation as possible in order for the OSC to evaluate the
degree of severity of the spill and indicate the type
and degree of mobilization needed. Such report should,
at least, attempt to provide the following information
by telephone ("collect" if necessary):
1504.1-1 Type of material spilled (i.e.diesel oil,
ammonia, etc.).
1504.1-2 Name of watercourse or area, the
location of where spill occurred and (or) its
present position.
1504.1-3 Identify cause of spill and name spiller
if possible.
1504.1-4 Give time and date spill occurred if
known or when first observed.
1504.1-5 Indicate if any local public agencies
have been notified and if they have responded.
1504.1-6 Any other pertinent information.
1504.1-7 Name, address, and telephone number of
caller.
The OSC will advise the caller of any instructions
for action or precautions to take until such time as
the OSC can mobilize a further investigation and/or
response to the situation.
1504.2 Reports of spills received by the OSC and the
RRT: The requirements for notification and reporting
of spillage are dependent on the degree of severity
of the spill. There are a number of factors that must
be taken into account when determining the severity,
including the reliability of the reporting source, the
location, the quantity and type of material, and the
proximity and nature of adjoining critical water use
areas. Considering the degree of severity, the OSC
should classify the spill as either minor, medium, or
major spill. This initial classification will be
-------
3.
used to determine notification procedures until the degree
of Severity can be confirmed. All spills occurring on
inland waters shall be immediately reported as indicated
in Annex II, Section 1201.
1504.2-1 Minor Spills; In the case of minor
spills, where the local OSC (i.e. the game warder)
ascertains that adequate action (as outlined in
Phases I - V) are being accomplished by the spiller,
local and State agencies, the>OSC shall file a
brief, but complete, report on the specific
incident to his agency, entitled "POLREP 1 and Final
Incident." Copies of these reports shall be forwarded
directly to the EPA-RRC in San Francisco, California
on a weekly basis.
1504.2-2 On Medium and Major Spills, the'OSC will
immediately report by telephone or teletype an
initial report, "POLREP 1," to his agency's
Regional Headquarters, and the EPA-RRC in San
Francisco. In addition to the initial report,
the OSC should submit periodic timely POLREP's to
the RRC or SRC on all medium or major spills.
The RRC or SRC is responsible for keeping the RRT
advised.
1504.2-3 All further notification and reporting
to agencies at the Regional or National level will
be accomplished by the applicable Federal RRT
having OSC jurisdiction (U.S. Coast Guard or
EPA) from the RRC following procedures outlined
in the National Contingency Plan, including
other members of the RRT and keep the OSC
advised of developments, meetings, and actions
from the RRC level.
State and Local Officials, Notification of and
Communication with:The State Fish and Game or Water
Pollution Control Agencies (SOA) will be responsible
for the coordination and notification of all affected
State government agencies within their respective
States as outlined in their respective contingency
plans.
The participating State's SOA will coordinate directly
with other State and local groups, centralizing their
particular capabilities. As the respective States pro-
gress in developing plans to utilize the resources
available in their areas, this information will become
a part of the Regional Plan. The direct involvement of
State and local resources will be initiated through the
-------
4.
Directors of the State programs.
These agencies (the SOA) will be the single spokesman
to EPA for all other State agencies. However, in the
case that State funds become available for cleanup,
these agencies would be expected to have direct respon-
sibility for their allocations.
Local and private organizations will be advised and
become a part of the Regional Plan as it is further
developed by the State agencies.
1505 Message Addresses of Federal Agencies, National' Level.
1505.1 Messages intended for the National Response
Center should be addressed to the Commandant, U.S. Coast
Guard.

State and local officials, in arranging appropriate public
information liaison with industries and other concerned
interests, and in issuing at least a daily written news
release.
1603,3 All news releases involving major policy consider-
ations will be cleared by the Chairman of the RRT or in his
absence, the Executive Secretary. Situation reports and
other factual releases will not require formal clearance.
1603o4 The Director of the Regional News Office will
have free access to meetings of the RRT and should be consult-
ed on the possible public reaction to the courses of action

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 spill„
1804o3 Samples collected are to be transmitted for
analysis, using special courier or registered mail (return
receipt requested) and observing the procedures outlined
below. The analytical laboratory is the EPA laboratory in
Alameda, California. Reports of laboratory analysis will be
forwarded to the appropriate RRT for transmittal to counsel.
The Chairman, RRT, will also forward copies of the laboratory
reports to the NRT0
1804o4 Photographs should be taken, if possible, using
color type film., The photographs should show the source and
the extent of the pollution. The following information should
be recorded on the back of each photographic prints (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 assist-
ance to the less than professional photographer by allowing
on-the-spot inspection of results and "retakes" as needed to
obtain an acceptable photograph.)
1804o5 If in doubt as to whether or not a particular case
may be an oil pollution or hazardous materials pollution viola-
tion, 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 analysis as the character of the
sample may be affected by a number of common conditions.
These precautions concern: (a) the composition of the con-
tainer; (b) cleanliness of the container; and (c) manner in
which the sample is taken.
1805.2 In taking such smaples, 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 consider-
able importance. Where oil or petroleum based
-------
4.
1806
hydro-carbons are to be sampled, the closure should
be made of glass, aluminum foil, or teflon.
Other pollutants may require different or special
closure material and the analysis laboratory
should be consulted whenever a question arises as
to the appropriateness of any closure material.
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 Samples must be properly labeled.
1805.2-4 Consult with the analysis laboratory
personnel relative to special samples and unusual
problems.
1805.2-5 Some explanatory notes covering the above
procedures are: (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 con-
tainers; (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.
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.
1807
Spill Pollution Report
1807.1 The information for each pollution spill should be
obtained by the OSC and reported pursuant to the appropriate
instructions.

Annex IX
1900 FUNDING
1901 General
1901.1 The primary trust of this Plan is to encourage the
person responsible for a spill to take appropriate remedial
actions. Usually this will mean that the cost of contain-
ment countermeasures and cleanup with respect to spills of
oil or other hazardous substances should be borne by the person
responsible for the discharge. The OSC and other officials
associated with the handling of a spill should make sub-
stantial effort to have the responsible person accept
voluntarily this financial responsibility.
1901.2 Actions undertaken by the Primary Agencies in response
to pollution spill emergencies shall be carried out under
existing programs and authorities insofar as practicable. It
is recognized, however, that the separate agencies may have
funds available specifically for dealing with pollution and
related incidents.
1901.3 It is not envisioned that any Federal agency will
make resources available, expend funds, or participate in
operations in connection with spills unless such agency can
so respond in conformance with its existing authority.
Authority to expend resources will be in accordance with the
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.
1902 Funding Responsibility
1902.1 The funding, including reimbursement to Federal
agencies, other agencies, contractors and others, of pollution
removal activities is the responsibility of the agency pro-
viding 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.
1902.2 Funding of response actions not associated with the
removal activity, such as scientific investigations, law
enforcement or public relations, is the responsibility of the
agency having statutory or executive responsibility for those
specific actions.
-------
2.
1903 Agency Funding
1903.1 The Environmental Protection Agency can provide
funds to insure timely initiation of cleanup actions in those
instances where the OSC is an EPA representative. 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.
1903.2 The U.S. Coast Guard pollution control efforts are
funded under "Operating Expenses." These funds are utilized
in accordance with applicable Regional Plans and agency
directives.
1903.3 The Department of Defense has two specific sources
of funds which may be applicable to a pollution incident
under appropriate circumstances. (This does not consider
military resources which might be made available under specific
circumstances.)
1903.1-1 Funds required for removal of a sunken
vessel or similar obstruction to navigation are
available to the Corps of Engineers through Civil
Functions Appropriations, Operations and Maintenance,
General.
1903.1-2 The U.S. Navy has funds available on a
reimbursable basis to conduct salvage operations.
1904 Disaster Relief Funds
1904.1 Certain pollution control 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 Perform-
ing Major Disaster Relief Functions."
1904.2 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."
-------
3.
1905
Pollution Revolving Fund
1905.1 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 spill response operations. Regulations governing adminis-
tration and use of the funds are contained in 33 CFR, Part
153D, April 13, 1971.
1905.2 The Fund is available to pay the costs of removal of
oil discharged into the navigable waters and adjoining shore-
lines of the United States. It is also available to pay the
costs of removal of discharges of hazardous polluting substances,
provided the material has been designated as a hazardous
polluting substance pursuant to Section 12(a) of the Act.
1905.3 Examples of specific costs reimbursable to a Federal
agency for spill response operations are:
1905.3-1 Costs incurred by industrial type facilities,
including charges for overhead, in accordance with
the agency's industrial accounting system;
1905.3-2 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.
1905.4 Some limitations on use of the Fund are:
1905.4-1 Restriction of reimbursement for expenditures
made for Phase II and Phase III response actions;
1905.4-2 Personnel and equipment costs which are funded
by other appropriations and which would have been
incurred during normal operations; and
1905.4-3 Costs of surveillance activities, resto-
ration of damages following a spill, or investiga-
tive functions performed in support of enforcement
action or scientific documentation.
1905.4-4 The Fund is not available to pay costs in-
curred for actions to remove oil or hazardous polluting
substance discharged from a U.S. public vessel or
Federally controlled facility.
1905.5 The Commandant, USCG, has distributed detailed instruc-
tions to assist in the determination of appropriate costs by the
")SC (See Commandant Notice 7302 dated 26 May 1972) .
-------
4.
1906 General Limitations on Funding
1906.1 Care must be exercised to ensure that misunder-
standings do not develop about reimbursement of funds
expended for containment and cleanup activities. The OSC
should not knowingly request services for which reimburse-
ment 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.
1907 Planning
1907.1 The availability of funds and requirements for the
reimbursement of expenditures by certain agencies must be
included in resource utilzation planning. Local interagency.
agreements may be necessary to specify when reimbursement is
required.

Annex X
2000 SCHEDULE OF DISPERSANTS AND OTHER CHEMICALS TO TREAT OIL
SPILLS
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 spill.
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 implement-
ing 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 spill 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
-------
2.
Collecting agents are considered to be generally
acceptable, providing these materials do not in themselves
or in combination with the oil increase the pollution hazard.
2004 Sinking Agents
Sinking agents may be used only in marine waters ex-
ceeding 100 meters in depth where currents are not predominately
onshore, and only if other control methods are judged by EPA
to be inadequate or not feasible.
2005 Authorities Controlling Use of Dispefsants
2005.1 Regional response team activated: dispersants may
be used in any place, at any time, and in quantitites 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 water-
fowl ; and,
2005.1-3 In the judgment of EPA, in consultation
with appropriate State agencies, result in the
least overall environmental 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 spill of oil less than 200 barrels in quantity;
-------
3.
2006.3 On any shoreline;
2006.4 In any waters less than 100 feet deep;
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 with-
in 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 if:
2007.2 Applied during any 24-hour period in quantities not
exceeding the 96 hour TI^Q 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 TLso 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,
-------
4.
2007.4
*NOTE:
importer or vendor; ,
2007.3-3 Flash point;
2007.3-4 Freezing or pour point;
2007.3-5 Viscosity;
2007.3-6 Recommend application procedure(s),
concentration(s), and conditions for use as regards
to water salinity, water temperature, and types and
ages of oils; and
2007.3-7 Date of Production and shelf life.
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 and 2007.4-2 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; and
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.
In addition to those agents defined and described in Section
2007 above, the following materials which are not a part of
this Schedule, with cautions on their use, should be consid-
ered:
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 spill. Biological
agents shall be used to treat spills only when
-------
5.
such use is approved by the appropriate state and
local public health and water pollution control
officials.
2. 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 combination with the material to which they are
applied, increase the pollution hazard and their use
is approved by appropriate Federal, State, and
local fire prevention officials.

Annex XI
2100 NON-FEDERAL INTERESTS AND SCIENTIFIC RESPONSE
2100 General Policy
2101.1 The policy of the Federal government is to respond
to those spills 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 this Plan also apply to non-Federal resources. The State
and local government and private interests are encouraged
to participate in the planning and preparedness functions.
2110.2 State and local governments are encouraged to
incorporate the pollution spill Contingency Plan into
existing emergency planning.
2120 Commitment
2120.1 Inventories of response personnel and other
resources should be obtained from State and local governments,
and where possible, firm commitments should be obtained.
(These resources should be fully detailed in Sub-Regional
Contingency Plans.)
2120.2 It is anticipated that Federal resources would only
be used if the response requirements exceed the State and
local capabilities. Whenever Federal resources are required,
the predesignated OSC would be available to offer advice.
2130 Volunteers
2130.1 Volunteers desiring to assist in the response
effort may present themselves and offer assistance. (See
Section 2300 of Annex XIII.)
2140 Scientific Response
2140.1 The scientific community can gather valuable
information during spill situations. Liaison should be
established and maintained with the various institutions
within each Sub-Region, continuously. The types of spills
in which they would be interested and the method of alerting
their community when appropriate, should be determined and
kept up to date.
-------
2.
2140.2 In all oil or hazardous material spills, plans
will provide for assembling, separate from the operating
element, a group of ecologists, environmental scientists,
engineers, economists, and others with relevant expertise in
the areas concerned. This group of scientific experts will
advise the Regional Response Team and recommend actions for
appropriate studies and analysis to assess the effects of
the spill. Identifying such a group of experts prepared to
respond quickly will increase the chances that their advice
will be available and that the important information will be
gathered.

ANNEX XII
-------
Annex XII
2200 OIL POLLUTION SURVEILLANCE
2201 Introduction
2201.1 Surveillance Surveillance is the action by which
the On-Scene Coordinator is kept informed on the movement of
an oil slick or' hazardous substances from the time immediate-
ly after a spill is reported until the cleanup activity has
been completed. The surveillance activity should provide
provisions for such items as (1) visual observations, (2)
aerial sensing, (3) weather, sea and river forecasts,
carrier forecasting, (4) physical/chemical monitoring, (5)
measurement of movement, and (6) prediction of movement.
With this information available to him, the OSC can make
accurate assessments concerning the land or water areas
threatened and can make provisions for preventing damage in
critical areas.
2201.2 Surveillance prior to the reporting of a spill is
that required to detect the presence of oil or hazardous
substances uncontrolled in the environment so that appropriate
action can be taken.
2202 Preplanning
2202.1 Introduction Preplanning or preparedness to
react to any spill requires a coordinated readiness posture
on the part of the concerned agencies. Each Plan should
incorporate those requirements for surveillance necessary to
the individual areas.
2202.2 Surveillance preplanning includes determination of
need, determination of capability, making contact with those
who have this capability, determination of availability,
and prior provision for response as reflected in firm written
agreements.
2202.3 Identification of Critical Areas There are two
types of areas towards which surveillance preplanning should
initially be directed. The first priority is those areas
where a spill is most likely to occur as defined by the
Sub-Regional Plans. The other areas are those locations
where a spill would cause difficulty or economic loss.
2202.4 Data Among the kinds of data that should .be avail-
able to the OSC are: climatological studies and summaries,
navigational and bathymetric charts, tide and current
-------
2.
tables (including data for rivers), physical and chemical
characteristics not caused by pollutant, and relation of
pollution to eco-systems. When it is determined that environ-
mental data are inadequate, the OSC will request that the
gaps be filled.
2202.5 Basic Environmental Data The responsibility for
having the basic environmental data rests with each echelon
under the National Plan. For the Sub-Regions, this rests
with the OSC designated. The kinds of data and the means
of obtaining them are included herein.
2203 Monitoring/Prediction
2203.1 Techniques A variety of monitoring and observation
techniques are available and have been tried in examining
the extent, dynamics, and effects of an oil spill. These
include visual observations on the ground, from the shore,
surface craft, or aircraft, and photographic methods or other
more sophisticated remote sensing techniques from low and
high flying aircraft. Additionally, there are remote sensing
capabilities from satellites.
2203.1-1 Observations from Aircraft The primary
value of visual observation from aircraft is the
capability for covering large areas quickly in
the initial stages of a spill. Experience indicates
that there is a tendency to map the extent of an
oil spill without an adequate description of open-
water areas within mapped limits. This leads to
over-estimates of the volume of oil that has been
released and can initiate adverse reactions.
2203.1-2 Airborne Imagery The most important
procedures that have been learned to date are:
(a) When they can be obtained, photo-
graphs provide a permanent record.
Accurately locate the aircraft when the
photograph is taken. Location can be
accomplished by including known land
areas in each photograph and/or by
tracking the aircraft by radar. Other
navigational aids could be used, where
appropriate.
(b) Use cameras and filter systems with
the best possible response for the
conditions being photographed.
-------
3.
(c) For oil spills, use photographic
techniques that are capable or designed
to photograph the sun glint on the water.
Mosaics made up of the sun glint will
provide very detailed information on the
extent and distribution of the oil.
(d) Ultra-violet imagery techniques
are available. The wave lengths near
0.35 microns are useful to show the
extent of oil.
(e) Particularly promising is the airborne
use of both active and passive radar.
The first method is very sensitive to the
change of wave slope that occurs because
of the influence of oil. The second
is sensitive to temperature changes.
Both could possibly be calibrated for
oil thickness. These methods should be
particularly valuable because they are
operable under essentially all weather
conditions.
(f) Thermal infrared (8 to 14u) is
useful in the immediate vicinity of a
spill provided thermal differences
exist between the pollutant and surface
water or if water of a different temper-
ature has been brought to the surface.
2203.1-3 Other Hazardous Materials Many
potentially hazardous materials are soluble and .
much more difficult to detect than oil. Fluorescent
tracers, dyes, and Fraunhofer line discriminator
monitoring capabilities are available. These
techniques allow mapping of the rate of movement,
dispersion and relative concentration. This
capability would be of special significance when
soluble hazardous materials are spilled into
rivers, lakes, and estuaries where dilution rates
may be slow.
2203.1-4 Plotting Consistent plotting is necessary
for monitoring of the spill, prediction of its
movement and for record purposes. It should be
done by the same team on the same plotting scheme.
The OSC will assign local responsibility for
plotting.
2204 Operational
-------
4.
2204.1 Operational requirements for surveillance will be
dependent on the circumstances surrounding each spill and
must be evaluated in the same manner as other response require-
ments. Such factors as type and quantity of material,
location, apparent direction and speed of movement, proximity
to critical water use areas, and availability of response
resources should be considered. Even after a determination
is made that a surveillance response is required, it will be
necessary to determine the type, extent, and duration of the
surveillance coverage. This will have to be constantly
reevaluated as the situation progresses. The following
sections contain some general guidelines that should be
considered when determining surveillance needs. These should
not be considered as limiting, but should be used as a plan-
ning base.
2204.2 In minor spills, normally, special surveillance
activity will not be required. However, during other spills,
although they may not reach major proportions, considerable
special surveillance capability may be required. Regional
planning should determine what information is presently
available to assist in predicting behavior and carrying out
other surveillance functions. Arrangements should be made to
obtain this information for the Regional and Sub-Regional
Response Centers, as appropriate.
2204.3 The surveillance activity associated with a medium
or major spill will take two distinct aspects. These are:
(1) determination of the coverage, and (2) prediction of future
action. Although there are two separate aspects of the problem,
many of the parameters determined during one phase are
utilized in the other phase.
2204.4 The initial function of surveillance will be assess-
ment of the actual threat. In many situations this function
will be combined and accomplished during the initial surveillance
sortie. This function will provide the OSC with information
as to the degree of further response activity required,
including the need for additional surveillance.
2204.5 During the incident it will be necessary to
monitor the situation. This will consist of tracking and
plotting. This tracking and plotting may be required on a
continuous basis or may be periodically accomplished, depend-
ing on the degree of threat. Plots should be labeled and
retained in sequence, together with the available meteorolo-
gical and oceanographic data to permit appropriate review and
study to assist in the long-range determination of the
behavior of oil on water.
-------
2204o6 Information obtained during monitoring operations
is of limited value unless movement prediction can be made
from them,, Generally, it will be necessary to estimate the
movement of the pollutant„ There will be made available to
the National Response Team, the Regional Response Teams, and
the pre-designated OSC, a compilation of the latest empirical
relationships for pollutant movements—for example, the
movement of an oil slick relative to the windflow. Until
such compilation is available, tests and experience have
shown that movement of the oil at approximately 3% of the
wind velocity may be used as a rule of thumb.
2204o7 The NOAA National Weather Service Offices prepare
routinely several times daily 24 to 36 hour forecasts of
weather and wind for areas of about an average state. These
will usually be available at all of the Regional Response Centers.
River flow predictions are also issued routinely.
2204.8 A forecast office will have additional information,
either permitting more detail in the prediction, taking into
account, for instance, local topography, or information
concerning a longer range prediction. All Weather Service .
Offices operate 24 hours daily, seven days a week, and are
available for immediate response for weather information.
2204.9 The Weather Service contact at the Regional level
will make general arrangements for special data and fore-
casts, for wind, sea-state, and river flow, as appropriate.
This may be by telephone, teletypewriter circuits, radio or
some combination. If considered necessary or helpful, and
resources are available, a forecast specialist will proceed
to the incident and report to the OSC staff assistant during
the period of the emergency * This on-scene support may
include a mobile unit.
2204.10 Carrier predictions will serve as the base for
material predictions. In the absence of wind, movement is
with the surface current. Energy coupling, involving wind and
current movements, is essential to know for these predictions
also. The OSC will make the estimate of the carrier move-
ment based on all available data.
2204.11 If specific capabilities or other agency environmental
prediction programs are required because of the area or un-
usual conditions, and if requested by the OSC, the Weather
Service will be prepared to coordinate the prediction efforts.
2204.12 Spills of Hazardous Substances Surveillance
activity during a spill assumes even greater importance when
the material is hazardous matter other than oil. Here the
surveillance function is more difficult. Behavior of many of
-------
6.
the possible products that can be involved is not as well
understood as the behavior of oil. This problem can be further
compounded since many of the substances will not be amenable
to visual or electronic detection techniques.
2204.13 Materials that are soluble or emulsify in water will
probably be affected primarily by subsurface currents. It
will be necessary to sample periodically with suitable
techniques to determine if the predictive movement corresponds
to the actual movement. In some cases it may be advantageous
to add a trace element to the waterway, since many elements
may be difficult to trace through direct sampling techniques.
Prediction of carrier movement should be accomplished in the
preplanning phases, since it will probably not be possible to
compile accurate predictions within a suitable time frame
during actual incident.
2204.14 Materials that are non-soluble in water or otherwise
precipitate and sink as solids will seldom travel far from
the point at which they sank, even in relatively high currents.
The main problem in this case will be actually locating the
material. This might be accomplished by bottom sampling,
underwater search, either visual or magnetic, or dragging.
When located, and if required, the limit of the spill should
be marked by suitable buoys.
2204.15 Non-soluble materials that float should be handled
in the same fashion as oil.
2204.16 Because of the diversity of characteristics of
these and other materials, it may be necessary to modify
these general procedures to meet particular situations.
The same general principles should be applied, however.
Adequate, timely data—in a form that can be used—is a first
priority requirement.

2503.13 CRUDE OIL; Petroleum as it is extracted from the earth.
There may be several thousands of different substances in crude
oil some ~f 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. Commer-
cial gasoline, kerosene, heating oils, diesel oils, lubricating
oils, waxes, and asphalts are all obtained by refining crude
oil.
2503.14 DEMULSIDILITY; The resistance of an.oil to emulsi-
fication, 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
distilation having a restricted boiling range.
2503.20 FUEL OIL GRADE; Numerical ratings ranging from 1 to
6. The lower the grade number, the thinner the oil is and
more easily it evaporates. A high number indicates a relative-
ly 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 liquefied 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.
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 direct-
ly upon the person of a defendant.
-------
5.
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 dis-
charged while the freshly-cleaned tanks are filled with seawater.
Ballast is thus constantly maintained.
2503.25 OIL FILMS; A slick thinner than .0001 inch and may be
classified as follows:

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.

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 an 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 permanent-
ly enclosed space is equal to one gross ton—nothing
whatever to do with weight. This is usually the
registered tonnage, although it may vary somewhat
according to the classifying authority or nationality.
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 accomo-
dation, stores, equipment, etc. Port and harbor
dues are based on this tonnage.
2503.35-3 Displacement tonnage The actual weight
in tons, varying according to whether a vessel is in
light or loaded 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 which a tank or vessel lacks of
being full"! (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 re-
sistance 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.
