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 1958). 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 syste-
matic 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 part of
the Plan in order to minimize confusion, misunderstanding,
and lost motion when an emergency arises..."
*This Plan supersedes the Region IX Oil and Hazardous Substances
Pollution Contingency Plan for Inland Waters, November 1972.
-------
-2-
101.2 In Public Law 92-500, the 92nd Congress stated
that the President shall prepare and publish a National
Contingency Plan for removal of oil and hazardous substances
and such a plan shall provide for efficient, coordinated and
effective action to minimize damage from oil or hazardous
substances discharges. The President delegated authority
and responsibility to the Council on Environmental Quality
(CEQ) to carry out subsection (c) (2) of Section 311 of the
Act, providing for the preparation, publication, revision,
and amendment of a National Contingency Plan for the removal
of oil and hazardous substances.
The National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution
Contingency Plan was developed by the CEQ in June 1970,
revised in August, 1971 and again in August, 1973. The
revised National Contingency Plan, after publication in the
Federal Register (38 F.R. 155, August 13, 1973, p. 21888, et
seq.), became the national required procedure for response
to spills of oil and hazardous substances. This document is
directed toward fulfilling the responsibilities outlined
under the law.
101.3 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 and to make it
consistent with the National Plan. 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 All Federal agencies are responsible for minimizing
the occurrence of discharges and for developing the capa-
bility to respond promptly in cases of discharges from
facilities they operate or supervise, and for making resources
available for Federal pollution response operations. Those
Federal agencies whose actions or operations involve handling,
usage, or development of oil or hazardous substances should
develop contingency plans. The above referenced criteria
will apply to these plans.
-------
-3-
101.5 The EPA has been delegated some additional responsi-
bilities relating to both coastal and inland waters, among
which are those related to the granting of permits for dis-'
charge of oil for demonstration and research purposes; spe-
cifying the usage of chemicals to remove discharges; admin-
istering spill prevention regulations on non-transportation
related facilities; defining legal limitations on discharges
of oil; and instituting legal action to secure relief from
an imminent and substantial threat of a discharge of oil or
hazardous substance 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 environ-
ment from the damaging effects of pollution discharges. 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
discharges.
102.2 The objectives of this plan are to provide for effi-
cient, coordinated and effective action to minimize damage
from oil and hazardous substance discharges; to develop
appropriate preparedness measures and effective systems for
discovering and reporting the existence of a pollution
discharge and imminent potential discharges; to institute,
promptly, measures to secure the source of the discharge and
restrict the further spread of the pollutant; to assure that
the public health and welfare are provided adequate protection;
to apply techniques including chemical agents to clean up
and dispose of the collected pollutants; 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 sub-regional plans.
103 Scope
103.1 This plan is effective for all United States inland
navigable waters, and adjoining shorelines located within
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region IX, for
the states of Arizona, California, and Nevada.
-------
-4-
103.2 The provisions of this Regional Oil and Hazardous
Substances Pollution Contingency Plan are applicable to all
Federal agencies. Implementation of this plan will be
within the framework of the National Oil and Hazardous
Substances Pollution Contingency plan, and will be compat-
ible and complementary to currently effective joint inter-
national contingency plans, assistance plans, agreements,
security regulations, and responsibilities based upon
Federal statutes and executive orders.

200 POLICY AND RESPONSIBILITY
201 Federal Policy
201.1 The Congress has declared that it is the policy of
the United States that there should be no discharge of oil
or hazardous substance into or upon the navigable waters of
the United States, adjoining shorelines, or into or upon
the waters of the contiguous zone [Section 311 (b)(1) of the
Act].
201.2 The primary thrust of this Plan is to provide a coor-
dinated Federal, State and local response capability at the
scene of an unplanned or sudden, and usually accidental,
discharge of oil or hazardous substance in excess of that
otherwise permitted by law. Initial actions of the Federal
OSC, designated pursuant to Section 306.2 of this Plan shall
be to determine, in accordance with Section 311(c)(l) of the
Act, if the actions taken by the person responsible for the
discharge of oil or hazardous substance are adequate to
remove the discharge. The OSC should, if practicable,
insure that the person responsible for the discharge is
aware of his responsibility for removal and is encouraged to
undertake necessary countermeasures. In the event that the
person responsible for the discharge does not act promptly,
does not take or propose to take proper and appropriate
actions to remove the discharged pollutants, or if the
person responsible for the discharge is unknown, further
Federal response actions shall be instituted as required in
accordance with this Plan. When the person responsible for
the discharge is taking adequate action, the OSC and or SAC
shall observe and monitor progress, and provide advice,
counsel, and logistical support as may be necessary.
201.3 Removal actions taken pursuant to Section 311(c)(l)
of the Act are limited to the navigable waters of the United
-------
-9-
States, and adjoining shorelines. When a discharge or
potential discharge that poses a threat to the waters of the
U. S. occurs outside the jurisdiction under Section 311(c)
of the Act, the procedures of this Plan apply to the extent
practicable and removal action will be pursuant to other
Agency authorities.
201.4 Whenever a marine disaster in or upon the navigable
waters of the United States has created a substantial threat
of pollution hazard to the public health or welfare, because
of a discharge, or an imminent discharge, of large quantities
of oil, or of a hazardous substance from a vessel, the
United States may: (1) coordinate and direct all public and
private efforts directed at the removal or elimination of
such threat; and (2) summarily remove and, if necessary,
destroy such vessel by whatever means are available without
regard to any provisions of law governing the employment of
personnel or the expenditure of appropriated funds. This
authority has been delegated to the Administrator of EPA and
the Secretary of the Department in which the USCG is
operating, respectively, in and for the waters for which
each has responsibility to furnish or provide for the OSC.
201.5 In addition to any other actions taken by a State or
local government, when the Administrator of EPA determines
there is an imminent and substantial threat to the public
health and welfare because of an actual or threatened dis-
charge of oil or hazardous substance into or upon the waters
of the United States from any onshore or offshore facility,
he may require, through the Attorney General, that the U.S.
Attorney of the district in which the threat occurs to
secure such relief as may be necessary to abate such threat.
This authority can be exercised on request of the RRT (see
Section 305 of this Plan for discussion of the RRT).
201.6 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 Plan, this Plan,and as consis-
tent with operational requirements, within the limits of
existing statutory authority, and within the spirit of the
President's intention to minimize discharges and their
effects when they do occur.
-------
-10-
201.7 Environmental pollution control techniques shall be
employed in accordance with applicable regulations and
guidelines, and this Plan. In any circumstances not covered
by regulations or this Plan, the use of chemical agents as
defined in Section 2002.3 shall be in accordance with Annex X
and must have the concurrence of the EPA representative or
alternate representative on the RRT; or in his absence the
concurrence of the EPA Region IX Regional Administrator.
202 Federal Responsibility
202.1 Each of the primary and advisory Federal agencies has
responsibilities established by statute, Executive Order or
Presidential Directive, which may bear on the Federal
response to a pollution discharge. This Plan intends to
promote the expeditious and harmonious discharge of these
responsibilities through the recognition of authority for
action by those agencies having the most appropriate capa-
bility 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, provisions were
made to assure recognition of the statutory responsibilities
of all involved agencies.
202.2 The Atomic Energy Commission is the designated agency
for administration, implementation and coordination of the
Interagency Radiological Assistance Plan (IRAP). AEC will
provide advice and assistance to the RRT with respect to the
identification of the source and extent of radioactive
contamination, and removal and disposal of radioactive dis-
charges.
202.3 The Council on Environmental Quality is responsible
for the preparation, publication, revision and amendments of
the National Contingency Plan. The Council will receive the
advice of the NRT on necessary changes to the plan and shall
insure that any disagreements arising among members of the
NRT are expeditiously settled.
202.4 The Department of Commerce, through NOAA provides
support to the NRT, RRT, and OSC with respect to marine
environmental data, living marine resources; current and
predicted meteorological, hydrologic, and oceanographic
-------
-11-
conditions for the high seas, coastal, and inland waters;
and maps and charts, including tides and currents for
coastal and territorial waters and the Great Lakes. When
requested by the NRT, Mar Ad will provide advice on the
design, construction and operation of merchant ships.
202.5 The Department of Defense, consistent with its opera-
tional requirements, may provide assistance in critical
pollution discharges, and in the maintenance of navigation
channels, salvage, and removal of navigation obstructions.
202.6 The Department of Health, Education, and Welfare is
responsible for providing expert advice and assistance
relative to those discharges or potential discharges that
constitute or may constitute a threat to public health and
safety.
202.7 The Department of the Interior, through the USGS,
supplies expertise in the fields of oil drilling, producing,
handling and pipeline transportation. Also, the USGS has
access to and supervision over continuously manned facilities
which can be used for command, control, and surveillance of
discharges occurring from operations conducted under the
Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act. Additionally, the Department
of the Interior will provide, through its Regional Coordinators,
technical expertise to the OSC and the RRT with respect to
land, fish and wildlife, and other resources for which it is
responsible.
202.8 The Department of Justice can supply expert legal
advice to deal with complicated judicial questions arising
from discharges and Federal Agency responses.
202.9 The Department of Transportation provides expertise
regarding all modes of transporting oil and hazardous sub-
stances. Through the USCG, DOT supplies support and exper-
tise in the domestic/international fields of port safety and
security, marine law enforcement, navigation, and construc-
tion; manning, operation, and safety of vessels and marine
facilities. Additionally the Coast Guard maintains contin-
uously manned facilities that are capable of command,
control, and surveillance for oil discharges occurring on
the waters of the United States or the high seas. The USCG
is responsible for chairing the RRT for coastal waters and
for implementing, developing and revising, as necessary, the
regional plans for those areas where it is assigned the
responsibility to furnish or provide for the OSC.
-------
-12-
202.10 The Department of State will provide leadership in
developing joint International Contingency Plans. It will
also provide assistance in coordination when a pollution
discharge transects international boundaries or involves
foreign flag vessels.
202.11 The Environmental Protection Agency, through the
Surveillance and Analysis Division, Region IX, San Francisco,
California provides expertise regarding environmental
effects of pollution discharges and environmental pollution
control techniques. EPA shall also advise the RRT and OSC
of the degree of hazard a particular discharge poses to the
public health and safety. EPA is responsible for chairing
the RRT for inland waters and for development, revision and
implementation, as necessary, of regional plans for those
areas in which it has responsibility to furnish or provide
for the OSC. EPA will provide guidance to and coordinate
with DOT regarding pollution control and protection of the
environment in the preparation of regional plans. To the
extent practicable, EPA carries out its responsibilities
in inland waters in concert with Section 101(b) of the Act,
which retains for the State the primary responsibilities and
rights for pollution control activities.
202.12 The Federal Disaster Assistance Administration will
maintain an awareness of pollution emergencies as they develop.
The normal FDAA procedures will be followed to evaluate any
request for a major disaster declaration received from a
Governor of a State. If the President declares that a
pollution discharge constitutes a "major disaster" under PL
91-606, or that a major disaster is imminent as defined by
Sec. 221, PL 91-606, the Director, FDAA, will provide coor-
dination and direction of the Federal response in accordance
with FDAA policies and procedures.
202.13 All Federal agencies are responsible for minimizing
the occurrence of discharges and for developing the capa-
bility to respond promptly in cases of discharges from
facilities they operate or supervise, and for making re-
sources 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 any environmental damage
associated with discharges from facilities they operate or
supervise; to develop, within their operating elements, the
-------
-13-
capability for a rapid, coordinated response to any pollu-
tion discharge; for providing representation to the RRT; for
making information available as may be necessary to the RRT
and OSC; and for keeping the RRT informed, consistent with
national security consideration, of changes in the avail-
ability of resources that would affect the operation of this
Plan.
203 Non-Federal Responsibility and Rights
203.1 The States of Arizona, California and Nevada are
invited to provide representation to RRT and may designate
the appropriate element of the State government that would
undertake direction of State supervised discharge removal
operations. The designated agency shall be the single State
governmental element that will seek reimbursement for
removal operation expenditures in accordance with Sec.
311 (c) (2) (H) of the Act. Details on reimbursement to States
for removal actions taken pursuant to this Plan are contained
in Title 33 Part 153, CFR, and Annex IX-Funding.
203.1-1 Designated agencies of State government that will
undertake direction of State supervised discharge removal
operations are as follow:
(a) Arizona -
(b) California - Department of Fish and Game (SAC).
(c) Nevada -
203.2 Industry groups, the academic community, and others
are encouraged to commit resources fo removal operations.
Of particular relevance is the organization of a standby
scientific response capability.
300 PLANNING AND RESPONSE ORGANIZATION
301 Emergency Response Activities and Coordination
301.1 For emergency response activities, Federal on-scene
coordination is accomplished through a single predesignated
agent, the 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 discretion 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
-------
-14-
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. The State Agency
Coordinator (SAC), on-scene, will receive direction from the
OSC.
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 regional response centers.
302 National Response Center
302.1 The NRC, located at Headquarters, USCG, is the Washington,
D.C., headquarters site for activities relative to pollution
emergencies. NRC quarters provide communications, including
a continuously manned communication center, information
storage and necessary personnel and facilities to promote
the smooth and adequate functioning of response activities
(see Section 1300 of the National Plan for a detailed
discussion of the NRC).
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 dis-
charge and for coordination and advice during a pollution
emergency. Except for periods of activation because of a
pollution incident, the representative of EPA shall be
chairman and the representative of DOT shall be vice-chair-
man of the NRT. The vice-chairman maintains records of the
NRT activities along with National and Regional plans for
pollution response. When the NRT is activated for a pollution
incident, the chairman is the representative of EPA or DOT,
depending upon the area in which the response is taking
place.
303.2 The NRT shall establish and maintain a Committee on
Revision of the National Plan. This Committee shall provide
suggested revisions to the NRT for consideration, approval
and publication by the CEQ. The NRT evaluates the prepared-
ness of agencies and effectiveness of plans for coping with
pollution discharges. The primary agencies shall provide
membership on this standing committee. Advisory agencies
-------

shall participate whenever revision or proposed amendments
would affect those agencies. Ad hoc committees may also be
established from time to time to consider various matters.
Membership on these committees shall consist of the repre-
sentatives from the primary agencies and such advisory agen-
cies that may have direct involvement.
303.3 Based on a continuing evaluation of response actions,
the NRT shall consider and make recommendations to appro-
priate agencies relating to training and equipping response
team personnel, necessary research, development, demonstra-
tion and evaluation activities to improve response capabili-
ties; and equipment, material stockpiling and other opera-
tional matters as the need arises. The CEQ shall be advised
of any agency's failure to adequately respond to these
recommendations (for a complete discussion of responsibilities
and functions of NRT see Section 1204 of the National Plan).
303.4 National Response Team Activation
303.4-1 The NRT shall act as an emergency response team to
be activated in the event of a discharge involving oil or
hazardous substances which (a) exceeds the response capa-
bility of the region in which it occurs; (b) transects
regional boundaries; (c) involves significant numbers of
persons or nationally significant amounts of property; or
(d) when requested by any primary agency representative.
Each representative or an appropriate alternate shall be
notified immediately by telephone of activation of NRT.
304 Regional Response Center
304.1 The Regional Response Center (RRC) for inland navi-
gable waters is located at the Region IX office of the EPA
at 100 California Street, San Francisco, California. The
RRC 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 des-
cribed in each State contingency plan(See List of Appendixes,
page iv).
305 Regional Response Team
305.1 The Regional Response Team (RRT) consists of repre-
sentatives of the primary agencies, and selected advisory
agencies (see Annex II). It shall function as an emergency
response team.
-------
305.2 The RRT will perform functions within the Region
similar to those performed nationally by the NRT. Generally,
these include planning, preparedness and response activities.
The States of Arizona, California and Nevada are invited to
furnish liaison to the RRT for planning and preparedness
activities. When the team is activated for a pollution
emergency, the affected State or States are invited to
participate in RRT deliberations.
305.3 The RRT shall be activated automatically in the event
of a major or potential major discharge. The RRT shall also
be activated during any other pollution emergency by an oral
request from any primary agency representative to the
Chairman of the RRT. The EPA Region IX, Director, Surveillance
and Analysis Division, omMHMMMtHBfc, or his representative
will serve as Chairman of the RRT. Such requests for team
activation shall be confirmed in writing. The time of team
activation, place of assembly (if necessary), and means of
contact shall be included in POLREPS submitted in accordance
with instruction in Annex V of this Plan.
305.4 The Chairman of the RRT may require assembly of all
or selected members of the team at the RRC during a pollu-
tion response operation to provide technical support and
assistance to the OSC. The RRT will assemble at the RRC, at
the scene of the incident or at such locations designated at
the time, by the Chairman of the RRT.
305.5 Response functions will be performed any time the
team is activated. The degree of response and therefore the
extent of the RRT activity will depend on the particular
situation. Specific functions of the RRT are outlined
below.
305.5-1 Monitor incoming reports and evaluate the possible
impact of such discharges. Maintain an awareness of proposed
actions by the OSC.
305.5-2 Coordinate the actions of various agencies in
supplying needed assistance to the OSC. Assistance will
normally be obtained through the appropriate member of the
RRT.
-------
-17-
305.5-3 Provide advice as required to the OSC, and recom-
mend course(s) 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 305.5-7) during
a particular incident.
305.5-4 Determine the nature and extent of Federal response
required.
305.5-5 Recommend deployment of personnel to monitor the
handling of the spill.
305.5-6 Request other agencies and groups to consider
taking appropriate response action.
305.5-7 Determine when a shift of on scene coordination
from the predesignated OSC is indicated by circumstances or
progress of a pollution emergency.
305.5-8 Provide a focal point for public relations (See
Annex VI).
305.6 Deactivation of the RRT shall be by agreement between
the EPA and USCG team members. The time of deactivation
shall be included in POLREPS submitted in accordance with
Annex V.
305.7 The planning and preparedness functions of the RRT
are outlined below.
305.7-1 Develop procedures to promote the coordinated
actions of all Federal, State, local government, and private
agencies during pollution incidents.
305.7-2 Assist in the preparation of amendments to this
Plan.
305.7-3 Review Sub-regional and State contingency plans and
make recommendations for improving the effectiveness of such
plans.
305.7-4 Review reports from the OSC on the treatment of
major spills and pollution incidents for the purpose of
analyzing response actions and recommending needed improve-
ments in contingency plans.
-------
-18-
305.7-5 Request that appropriate members be designated to
serve on the On-Scene Operations Team (OSOT) from other
public agencies as necessary.
306 On-Scene Coordination
306.1 Coordination and direction of Federal pollution
control efforts at the scene of a discharge or a potential
discharge shall be accomplished through the OSC. The OSC is
the single executive agent pre-designated by this Plan to
coordinate and direct such pollution control activities in
each area of the region.
306.1-1 In the event of a discharge of oil or hazardous
substance into a navigable water the first Federal official
on the site having responsibility under this Plan shall
assume coordination of activities until the arrival of the
predesignated OSC. If no Federal official is on the site,
the State Agency Coordinator (SAC) shall assume the coor-
dination functions until a Federal official or the pre-
designated OSC arrives.
306.1-2 The OSC or SAC shall determine pertinent facts
about a particular discharge, such as its potential impact
on human health and welfare, the nature, amount, location of
material discharged, 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 or SAC shall initiate and direct as required
Phase II, Phase III and Phase IV operations (See Sections
402, 403 and 404). Advice provided by the EPA representative
on the RRT on use of chemicals in Phase III and Phase IV
operations in response to discharges of oil or hazardous
substances shall be binding on the OSC and SAC, except as
provided for by Annex X.
306.1-4 The OSC shall call upon and direct the deployment
of needed resources in accordance with this Plan to evaluate
the magnitude of the discharge and to initiate and continue
removal operations.
306.1-5 The OSC shall provide necessary support activities
and documentation of Phase V activities.
-------
-19-
30S. 1-6 In carrying out this plan, the OSC and SAC through
the OSC, will fully inform and coordinate closely with the
RRT to ensure the maximum effectiveness of the Federal/State
effort in protecting the natural resources and environment
from pollution damage.
306.2 The predesignated EPA, OSC for inland navigable waters
is the Emergency Response Coordinator or his designee. EPA
shall insure that OSC's are predesignated for all areas
within the region in accordance with the following criteria:
306.2-1 The EPA shall furnish or provide for OSC's on
inland waters.
306.2-2 The major consideration in selection of the OSC
shall be based upon that Agency's capability and resources
for pollution control response activities and the individual
OSC's knowledge of the National Contingency Plan and this
Plan.
306.2-3 All Federal agencies are required by executive
order to develop emergency plans and procedures for dealing
with accidental pollution. All Federal agencies, therefore,
are responsible for designating the offices to coordinate
response actions for facilities or vessels under their
jurisdiction and for the provision of means to remove or
mitigate the effects of discharges from their facilities.
If the responsible Agency does not act promptly or take
appropriate action, the EPA or USCG shall, depending on the
area in which the discharge occurs, assume the OSC func-
tions. Pollution control actions taken must be in accord-
ance with Federal regulations and guidelines, EPA policies
and this Plan.
306.3 In the event of a nuclear polluton spill, the coordi-
nator and response procedures of the Interagency Radio-
logical Assistance Plan shall apply.
400 OPERATIONAL RESPONSE PHASES
400.1 The actions taken to respond to a pollution discharge
can be separated into five relatively distinct classes or
phases. For descriptive purposes, these are: Phase I
-------
-20-
Discovery and Notification; Phase II Evaluation and
Initiation of Action; Phase III Containment and Counter-
measures; Phase IV Removal, Mitigation and Disposal; and
Phase V Documentation and Cost Recovery. It must be
recognized that elements of any one phase may take place
concurrently with one or more other phases.
401 Phase I - Discovery and Notification
401.1 Discovery of a discharge may be through a report re-
ceived from a discharger in accordance with statutory
requirements or through deliberate discovery procedures, or
through random discovery by incidental observations of
government agencies, or the general public. In the event of
a deliberate discovery, the discharge will be reported
directly to the EPA or USCG. Reports from random discovery
may be through fishing or pleasure boats, police departments,
telephone operators, port authorities, news media, etc. The
EPA or USCG should promptly be notified of the spill. See
Annex V for notification instructions.
401.2 Reports of discharges received by either the EPA or
USCG shall be expeditiously relayed by telephone to the
other agency depending upon the geographical area of OSC
jurisdiction. The EPA in addition will relay any discharge
notification report to the appropriate State agency (See
Sections 203.1-1 and 1201).
402 Phase II Evaluation and Initiation of Action
402.1 The OSC shall insure that a report of a discharge is
immediately investigated (this may involve notifying the
appropriate SAC and requesting an investigation by State
personnel). Based on all available information, the OSC
shall: (1) evaluate the magnitude and severity of the
discharge; (2) determine the feasibility of removal; and
(3) assess the effectiveness of removal actions.
402.2 The OSC shall, when appropriate and as soon as possible
after receipt of a report, advise the RRC of the need to
initiate further governmental response actions. This may be
limited to activation of the RRT or a request for additional
resources to conduct further surveillance or initiation of
Phase III or Phase IV removal operations.
-------
-21-
402.3 The OSC shall insure that adequate surveillance is
maintained to determine that removal actions are being
properly executed. If removal is not being performed pro-
perly, the OSC shall so advise the responsible party. If,
after the responsible party has been advised and does not
initiate proper removal action, the OSC shall, pursuant to
Sec. 311(c)(1) of the Act, take necessary action to remove
the pollutant.
402.4 If the discharger is unknown or otherwise unavail-
able, the OSC shall proceed with removal actions pursuant to
Sec. 311(c)(l) of the Act.
403 Phase III Containment and Countermeasures
403.1 These are defensive actions to be initiated as soon
as possible after discovery and notification of a discharge.
These actions may include public health and welfare pro-
tection activities, source control procedures, salvage
operations, placement of physical barriers to halt or slow
the spread of a pollutant, emplacement or activation of
booms or barriers to protect specific installations or
areas, control of the water discharge from upstream im-
poundments and employment of chemicals and other materials
to restrain the pollutant and its effects on water related
resources.
404 Phase IV Cleanup, Mitigation and Disposal
404.1 This includes actions taken to recover the pollutant
from the water and affected public and private shoreline
areas, and to monitor activities to determine the scope and
effectiveness of removal actions. Actions that could be
taken include the use of sorbents, skimmers and other
collection devices for floating pollutants, the use of
vacuum dredges or other devices for sunken pollutants; the
use of reaeration or other methods to minimize or mitigate
damage resulting from dissolved, suspended or emulsified
pollutants; or special treatment techniques to protect
public water supplies or wildlife resources from continuing
damage.
404.2 Pollutants and contaminated materials that are
recovered in removal operations shall be disposed of in
accordance with procedures agreed to at the State or local
level.
-------
-22-
405 Phase V Documentation and Cost Recovery
405.1 This includes a variety of activities, depending on
the location of and circumstances surrounding a particular
discharge. Recovery of Federal removal costs and recovery
for damage done to Federal, State or local government
property is included; however, third party damages are not
dealt with in this Plan. The collection of scientific and
technical information of value to the scientific community
as a basis for research and development activities and for
the enhancement of understanding of the environment may also
be considered in this phase. It must be recognized that the
collection of samples and necessary data must be performed
at the proper times during the case to fix liability and
other purposes. Enforcement procedures, including invest-
igative requirements, are detailed in Annex VIII.
406 Special Considerations
406.1 Safety of Personnel. Actual or potential polluting
discharges that could have an imminent and substantial
effect on both air and water media can pose serious hazards
to personnel health and safety. The OSC and SAC should be
aware of this potential and should exercise caution in
allowing civilian or government personnel into the affected
area without verifying the nature of the substance dis-
charged. Sources of information on the hazards, precautions,
and personnel protective requirements that will be expected
in carrying out response operations is available 24 hours/day
through the EPA's Technical Assistance Data System (TADS)
and the manufacturing Chemists Association's program through the
Chemical Transportation Emergency Center (CHEMTREC 800-424-9300).
The U.S.C.G. is also developing the Chemical Hazard Response
Information System (CHRIS) which will be operational towards
the end of 1974.
406.2 Waterfowl conservation. Oil discharges, particularly
in estuarine and near shore areas, often cause severe stress
to resident and migratory bird species. The DOI representa-
tives and the State liaison to the RRT in concurrence with the
OSC shall arrange for and coordinate actions of professional
and volunteer groups that wish to establish bird collection,
cleaning and recovery centers. These activities will normally
be considered as Phase IV response actions. Organizations
and institutions that can and are willing to establish and
operate such facilities are outlined in Annex XI.
-------
-23-
500 COORDINATING INSTRUCTIONS
501 Delegation of Authority
501.1 When required, delegation of authority or concurrence
in proposed or continuing pollution control activities
initially may be oral; however, written confirmation by the
EPA representative on RRT should be completed as soon as
possible.
502 Multi-regional actions
502.1 In the event that a discharge or a potential pollu-
tion emergency moves from the area covered by one contin-
gency plan into another area, the authority to initiate
pollution control actions shall shift as appropriate. In
the event that a polluting discharge or potential pollution
emergency affects areas covered by two or more regional
plans, the response mechanism called for by both plans shall
be activated.
502.2 There shall be only one OSC at any time during the
course of a response operation. Should a discharge affect
two or more areas, the RRT will designate the OSC, giving
prime consideration to the area vulnerable to the greatest
damage. The NRT shall designate the OSC if members of one
RRT or of two adjacent RRT's, i.e., Inland and Coastal, are
unable to agree on the designation.
503 General Pattern of Response Actions
503.1 When the predesignated Federal OSC receives a report
of a discharge, or potential discharge, the report should be
evaluated. In most situations, the sequence of actions shown
below should be followed:
503.1-1 Investigate the report to determine pertinent
information such as the threat posed to public health or
welfare, the type and quantity of material discharged, and
the source of the discharge. Depending upon the situation,
this initial information may be obtained from the SAC or
local officials on scene.
503.1-2 Effect notification in accordance with Annex II
and V.
-------
-24-
503.1-3 Determine, in accordance with section 311(c)(l) of
the Act, whether removal actions are being carried out prop-
erly. Removal is considered as being done properly when the
following criteria are met:
503.1-3.1 Private cleanup efforts are effective in terms of
the statutory definition of removal, that is, they are fully
sufficient to minimize or mitigate damage to the public
health or welfare. Private removal efforts shall be deemed
"improper" to the extent that Federal efforts are necessary
to prevent continued or further damage.
503.1-3.2 Private removal efforts must be in accordance
with applicable regulations and guidelines, and Annex X and
other provisions or restrictions of this Plan.
503.1-4 Designate the severity of the situation and deter-
mine the future course of action to be followed.
503.1-5 Determine whether State action to effect removal is
necessary.
503.2 The result of the report probably can be categorized
by one of five classes. Appropriate action to be taken in
each specific type case is outlined below:
503.2-1 If the investigation shows that the initial infor-
mation overstated the magnitude or danger of the discharge
and there is no environmental pollution involved, it shall
be considered a false alarm and the case should be closed;
contact should be established with the discharger. The
discharger shall be advised of proper removal procedures.
The situation shall be monitored to insure that the removal
is done properly by the owner or operator of the vessel,
onshore facility or offshore facility from which the dis-
charge occurred.
503.2-2 If the investigation shows a minor discharge with
improper action being taken, the following measures shall be
taken:
503.2-2.1 Attempt should be made to prevent further dis-
charges from the source.
-------
-25-
503.2-2.2 The discharger shall be advised of the proper
action to be taken.
503.2-2.3 If, after providing advice to the discharger and
this advice is not followed, the discharger shall be warned
of his liability for the cost of removal pursuant to section
311(f) of the Act.
503.2-2.4 The OSC should notify appropriate State and local
officials. He shall keep the RRC advised and initiate Phase
III and IV operations as conditions warrant.
503.2-2.5 Information shall be collected for possible
recovery of removal costs when removal is effected in accord-
ance with section 311(c)(l) of the Act.
503.2-3 When a report or investigation indicates that a
medium discharge has occurred or that the potential for a
medium discharge exists, the OSC shall follow the same
general procedures as for a minor discharge. Additionally,
the OSC shall make a recommendation concerning team acti-
vation to the Chairman of the RRT.
503.2-4 When a report indicates that a major discharge has
occurred, that a potential major pollution emergency exists,
or that a discharge or potential discharge which could
arouse wide public concern has occurred, the OSC shall
follow the same procedures as for minor and medium dis-
charges. The RRC and NRT shall, however, be notified
immediately of the situation even if the initial report has
not been confirmed.
504 Strike Force
504.1. A National Strike Force (NSF) has been established
and organized as the composite of three teams, the Atlantic
Strike Team, the Gulf Strike Team, and the Pacific Strike
Team. Each team is an operating unit of the U.S. Coast
Guard with a commanding officer. The purpose of the NSF is
to respond to pollution discharges, or potential discharges,
providing technical expertise, supervisory assistance, and
deployment of special pollution control equipment for
removal operations. The NSF personnel will report to the
OSC and will operate under the control of the OSC whether he
be USCG, EPA, or some other Federal official. All three
teams may be required to respond to certain major incidences.
-------
-26-
504.2. The Pacific Strike Team, stationed in San Francisco,
California is the unit that will assist the OSC in Region IX
(Standard Federal Administrative Region). This team is in a
continuous state of readiness that enables a minimum of four
(4) men to proceed to the scene of a pollution discharge
within two (2) hours of notification. This team strength
can be augmented as necessary depending on the circumstances
of the incident.
504.2-1. The NSF Pacific Strike Team can be activated by
requests for assistance from the OSC. Requests for the NSF
may be made directly to the commanding officer of the
Pacific Strike Team, the USCG member on the RRT, the appro-
priate area commander, U.S. Coast Guard, or through the NRC
(see annex II).
504.3. The EPA, to carry out the agency's disaster and
emergency responsibilities, can provide the OSC and the NSF
with advice on the environmental effects of oil and hazard-
ous substances discharges and techniques of removal and
mitigation of their effects. The EPA can, in addition,
provide expertise in the fields of biology, chemistry,
engineering and when necessary, meteorology. This technical
assistance is available through the Director, Surveillance &
Analysis Division, or the Regional Administrator, EPA,
Region IX (see annex II).
505 Nuclear Pollution
505.1 In the event of a nuclear pollution incident, the
procedures of the Interagency Radiological Assistance Plan
shall apply.

1500 Communications and Reports
1501 Purpose
1501.1 Communications concerning an oil or hazardous substance
discharge are an integral and significant part of response operations.
The same precepts govern in these instances as do other operations in
which the USCG, EPA and other operating agencies are involved.
1502 Objectives
1502.1 The objectives of adequate communications and reports are:
1502.1-1 To speed the flow of information pertaining to a pollution
discharge;
1502.1-2 To relay advice, instructions and reports pertaining to a
pollution discharge; and
1502.1-3 To provide for alerting, notification, surveillance and
warning of a pollution discharge.
1503 Communications Procedures
1503.1 The person initially reporting the spill to the OSC, EPA or
USCG, should use telephone (Collect) if possible; otherwise, telegraph.
1503.2 The initial reporting of a pollution discharge by agencies
participating in this plan shall be in accordance with section 1503.A
and Annex II.
1503-3 Normal communication circuits of each Primary Agency may be
used to effectuate this plan. National and district or regional offices
and their telephone numbers will be maintained in the NRC and RRC (see
Annex II).

1505.1 During medium and major discharges POLREPS shall be submitted
by the RRT (when activated) to the NRT. When the RRT is not activated,
the Federal agency providing the OSC will submit POLREPS to members
of the RRT and NRT. POLREPS shall be sent in timely manner as develop-
ments occur and at. 0800 and 2000 local time on each day of the operations.
POLREPS shall be sent via teletypewriter.
1505.2 The POLREP Format
1505.2-1 This format shall be used by the OSC and the RRT for reporting
the present situation and progress of action. All messages pertaining
to a spill should be in the Pollution Report (POLREP) format. This

Response Center to disseminate information to news media which is accurate
and the latest information available on circumstances regarding the discharge.
All agency representatives should take steps to assure that the central infor-
mation office is immediately informed of all developments. The Regional
Information Officer, Region IX, EPA, will be in charge of the central infor-
mation office.
1601 Introduction
1601.1 When a major pollution discharge occurs, it is imperative that
the public be provided promptly with accurate information on the nature of
the discharge and what steps are being taken to correct the problem. This
policy must be followed to obtain understanding from the public, ensure
cooperation from all interested parties, and to check the spread of misinfor-
mation. National Administration Policy and the Freedom of Information Act
both call for maximum disclosure of information.
1602 National News Office
1602.1 When the NRT is activated the team chairman will contact the
most appropriate Primary Agency and ask it to detail a professional infor-
mation officer to establish and direct a National News Office. Requests by
the Director of the National News Office for an appropriate number of pro-
fessional and clerical assistances will be met by one or more of the Primary
Agencies.
1602.2 The Director of the National News Office will be responsible for
overall supervision of public information activities. While the Director of
the Regional News Office will have, considerable freedom in responding to news
inquiries, he will work under the direction of the Director of the National
News Office. The closest possible coordination will be maintained between the
National News Office in Washington, D.C. and the Regional News Office.
1602.3 Promptly after his designation, the Director of the National News
Office will contact the White House Press Office and the Office of the Director
of Communications for the Federal Government to arrange whatever information
assistance may be required by these offices.

meetings of the NET and will be consulted on the possible public reaction to
the courses of action under consideration by the NET.
1602.6 At appropriate intervals, the Director of the National News
Office may arrange news conferences at which the Chairman of the 'NRT, the
OSC, or other informed officials will make progress reports and respond to

appropriate agency and ask it to detail a professional public information offi-
cer to establish and direct a Regional News Office. This officer will be the
Director of the Regional News Office. Any Primary Agency may by request
to the RRT, place its designated representative on the staff of the Regional
News Office to advise and assist the Director. The Regional News Office
should be set up at or near the location where the OSC is stationed. Requests
by the Director of the Regional News Office for appropriate professional and
clerical assistance will be met by one or more of the Primary Agencies.
1603.2 The Director of the Regional News Office will follow the proce-
dures outlined above for the Director of National News Office in contacting
the press offices of State and local officials, in arranging appropriate public
information liaison with industries and other concerned interests, and in
issuing at least a daily written news release.
-------

1603-3 All news releases involving major policy considerations will be
cleared by the Chairman of the RRT. Situation reports and other factual re-
leases will not require formal clearance. All State news releases will be
coordinated through the Federal public information officer.
1603.4 The Director of the Regional News Office will have free access to
meetings of the RRT and should be consulted on the possible public reaction
to the courses of action under consideration by the RRT.
1603.5 The Regional News Office will be provided with adequate space,
telephones, typewriters, communications equipment, and other supplies by
the Primary Agency which is providing the headquarters for the RRT. The
Director of the Regional News Office will determine what equipment and
supplies are needed to ensure an orderly flow of information and to accommo-
date visiting members of the news media.
1604 Washington, D.C. Public Information Contact
1604-1 If the NET has not been activated, the Director of the Regional
News Office will ask the most appropriate Primary Agency to assign a public
information officer in Washington, D.C. The information officer assigned to
this task will follow the procedures outlined above for the Director of the
National News Office in contacting the press offices of the White House and
Congressional and Federal Officials.
1605 Interim Public Information Director
1605.1 In the period following a spill and before the need for a Federal
response is determined, information activities will be directed by the public
information personnel of the same Primary Agency which will provide the
pre-designated OSC. These activities will be conducted in accordance with
the information policies of that agency.

1800 Documentation and Cost Recovery
1801 Introduction
1801.1 The OSC in charge at the scene of a discharge may be from any
one of several agencies. Therefore, it is necessary to establish uniform
procedures for notification of counsel, collection of samples and information
consistent with several phases in Federal response operations. Necessary
information and sample collection must be performed at the proper times dur-
ing the Federal involvement in a spill for the purpose of later use in iden-
tifying the party responsible, in cleanup cost recovery. Time is of great
importance since wind, tide and currents may disperse or remove the evi-
dence and witnesses may no longer be available. Thus, during response
phases, the OSC must take the necessary action to ensure that information,
records, and samples adequate for legal and research purposes are obtained
and safeguarded for future use. Additional guidance can be found in EPA's
"Field Detection and Damage Assessment Handbook."
1802 Notification of Counsel
1802.1 Immediately upon notification that a spill has occurred, the RRT
or NET 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, and for advising the owner or operator that a determi-
nation has been made under subsection 31l(c)(l) of the Act that removal is
not being properly accomplished.
1802.3 Information and reports obtained by the OSC are to be trans-
mitted to the RRC. Copies will then be forwarded to the NRC, members of the
RRT, and others as appropriate. The representative of the Agency on 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 Suspected Discharger
1803.1 The owner, operator, or other appropriate responsible person
shall be notified of Federal interest and potential action in a pollution dis-
charge by the agency furnishing the OSC. This notice shall include advice
of the owner or operator's liability for proper removal of the discharge in
accordance with section 3H(f) of the Act; the need to perform removal in
accordance with existing Federal and State statutes and regulations and this
Plan; and identification of the OSC.
1804 Action to be Taken by OSC or SAC as Appropriate
1804-1 Investigate discharges of oil or hazardous substances pollution
in the waters covered by the scope of this Plan. Investigative actions may
include those as outlined below.
1804.1-1 Request permission to enter facility or vessel involved. The
investigator should identify himself and explain his reason for being there.
In those situations where statutory authority does not exist for entering or
boarding and if permission to enter or board is denied, the investigator should
seek assistance of the local U. S. Marshal.
1804-1-2 Question all persons who may be responsible for or have knowl-
edge 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 indicating where,
when, and how the spill occurred and its extent.
1804.1-5 When a witness makes an oral statement but will not give a
written statement, reduce the oral statement to writing.
1804.1-6 When possible, obtain a written statement from the discharger
accepting financial responsibility for cleanup operations.
1804.1-7 When the source of the pollution is unknown, obtain as much
information as possible and note any suspect vessels or facilities.
-------
-3-
1805 Sample Collection Procedures
1805.1 When the investigation discloses a reasonable basis to believe
a violation has occurred, collect samples of oil or hazardous substance(s)
from the water and from appropriate spaces and drainage points of the
suspected offending vessel or vessels, shore establishments, or other
sources.
1805.2 Several precautions must be observed when taking and handling
liquid samples for analyses as the character of the sample may be affected
by a number of common conditions. These precautions concern: (a) the
composition of the container; (b) cleanliness of the container; and (c) manner
in which the sample is taken.
1805.3 In taking such samples, the following procedures are to be
followed in all cases:
1805.3-1 Glass or other appropriate containers of suitable size shall be
used. The portion of the closure (sealing gasket or cap liner) which may
come into contact with the sample in the container is of considerable impor-
tance. Where oil or petroleum hydrocarbons are to be sampled, the closure
should be made of glass, aluminum foil, or teflon. Pollutants other than
oil may require special precautions such as jacketing of glass containers or
different closure material. The analysis laboratory should be consulted
whenever a question arises as to the appropriateness of any packaging
material.
1805.3-2 Previously unused containers are preferred. Containers that
have been cleaned with a strong detergent, thoroughly rinsed, and dried
may be used.
1805.3-3 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 containers; (b) as it is desirable to take a large sample of the
pollutant, proper skimming techniques should be used to obtain a sufficient
amount of oil for analysis; and (c) since it is not unusual for a pollution
condition to change rapidly, samples should be taken promptly, and the
time sequences and places noted on the sample container. Each sample
should be signed by the collector and a witness.
-------
-4-
1805.3-4 Consult with the analysis laboratory personnel relative to
special samples and unusual problems.
1805.3-5 Samples collected are to be transmitted for analyses, using
special courier or registered mail (return receipt requested) to the EPA
laboratory in Alameda, California. Requests for analyses on samples should
be directed to the Director, Surveillance and Analysis Division, EPA, San
Francisco, California. Reports of laboratory analysis will be forwarded to
the RRT for transmittal to counsel.
1806 Chain of Custody
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 per-
son taking the sample, and each person handling same thereafter must be main-
tained and forwarded with the sample.
1807 Photographic Records
1807.1 Photographs should be taken to show the source and the extent
of pollution, using both color and black and white film. The following infor-
mation should be recorded on the back of each photographic print: (a) name
and location of vessel or facility; (b) date and time the photo was taken; (c)
names of the photographer and witnesses; (d) shutter speed and lens opening;
and (e) type of film used and details of film processing. (The immediate
developing type ofphotographic process may be of major assistance to the
less than professional photographer by allowing on-the-spot inspection of
results and "retakes" as.needed to obtain an acceptable photograph.)

Annex IX
1900 Funding
1901 General
1901 The primary thrust 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 removal of the discharge should be borne
by the person responsible for the discharge. The OSC and other officials
associated with the handling of a pollution emergency should make substan-
tial effort to have the responsible person accept voluntarily this financial
responsibility.
1901.2 If the discharger does not voluntarily act promptly to remove
the discharge of oil or hazardous substance(s), Federal discharge removal
actions may be initiated pursuant to Section 3H(c)(l) of the Act. The
discharger, if known, is liable for the reasonable costs of such Federal
removal actions in accordance with Section 3H(f) of the Act.
1901.3 Actions undertaken by the Primary Agencies in response to
pollution emergencies shall be carried out under existing programs and
authorities insofar as practicable.
1901.4 It is not envisioned that any Federal agency will make resources
available, expend funds, or participate in operations in connection with
discharges 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 crossservicing
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 of removal actions necessitated by a discharge
from a federally operated or supervised facility is the responsibility
of the operating or supervising agency.
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 discharge removal actions in those instances
where the OSC is an EPA representative. Funding of continuing Phase III
and IV actions, however, shall be determined on a case-by-case basis by
the Division of Oil and Special Materials Control, EPA, Washington, D. C.
Inasmuch as EPA does not have funds provided for this purpose by statute
or regulation, initiation of Phase III and IV activities is funded out
of operating program funds.
1903.2 The U. S. Coast Guard pollution control efforts are funded
under "Operating Expenses." These funds are utilized in accordance with
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.)
1903-3-1 Funds required for removal of a sunken vessel or similar
obstruction to navigation are available to the Corps of Engineers
through Civil Functions Appropriations, Operations and Maintenance,
General.
1903.3-2 The U. S. Navy has funds available on a reimbursable basis to
conduct salvage operations.
1904 Disaster Relief Funds
1904.1 Certain pollution control emergency response activities may
qualify for reimbursement as disaster relief functions. In making a
declaration of a major disaster for a stricken area, the President may
allocate funds from his Disaster Relief Fund, administered by the
Director, Federal Disaster Assistance Administration (FDAA). After the
President has declared a major disaster and authorized allocation of
funds, the Director may authorize certain reimbursements to Federal
agencies for disaster assistance provided under direction of his office.
Applicable policies and procedures are stated in Title 32, Chapter XVII,
Part 1709, "Reimbursement of Other Federal Agencies Performing Major
Disaster Relief Function."
1904.2 In addition to the authority provided for actions taken
subsequent to the declaration of a "major disaster", if the President
determines that a major disaster is imminent, he is authorized pursuant
to Section 221, PL 91-606 to use the resources of the Federal government
to avert or lessen the effects of such disaster before its actual
occurrence.
-------
-3-
1904.3 The Director, FDAA, may also make financial assistance available
to State governments and through the States to local governments in
accordance with policies and procedures stated in Title 32, Chapter XVTI,
Part 1710, "Federal Disaster Assistance."
1905 Pollution Revolving Fund.
1905.1 A pollution revolving fund (hereinafter referred to as the
Fund) administered by the Commandant, USCG, has been established pursuant
to subsection (k) of Section 311 of the Act. Regulations governing the
administration and use of the fund are contained in 33 CFR 153.301-
153.319.
1905.2 Pursuant to Section 31l(c)(2)(H) of Public Law 92-500, the
State or States affected by a discharge of oil or hazardous substances
(pursuant to designation by EPA) may act where necessary to remove such
discharge and may, pursuant to regulations which the Commandant, USCG,
may prescribe, be reimbursed from the fund for the reasonable costs
incurred in such removal.
1905.2-1 Removal by a State is necessary when the OSC (Federal) deter-
mines that the owner or operator of the vessel, onshore facility, or
offshore facility from which the discharge occurs does not effect removal
properly and that:
1905.2-1.1 State action is required to minimize or mitigate significant
damage to the public health or welfare which Federal action cannot
minimize or mitigate, or
1905.2-1.2 Removal or partial removal can be effected by the State at a
cost which is not significantly greater than the cost which would be
incurred by the Federal departments or agencies.
1905.2-2 Notwithstanding the above, State removal actions are not
necessary, if not in compliance with Annex X of this plan.
1905.2-3 State removal operations are considered to be Response Phase III
and/or Response Phase IV actions to the extent that the same operations
undertaken by a Federal agency would be so considered.
1905.2-4 When supervised by the State SAC as identified in Section 203.1-
1 of this Plan, removal operations of a local government are considered
to be actions of the State for purposes of this section.
1905.2-5 Access of the Fund by the State shall be through the EPA, OSC,
Emergency Response Coordinator, Surveillance and Analysis Division, EPA,
100 California Street, San Francisco, California, (415) 556-6254.
-------
-4-
1905.3 Use of the Pollution Revolving Fund
1905.3-1 When the OSC or Chairman, RRT determines that Federal discharge
removal actions will be initiated by authority of Section 31l(c)(l) of
the Act and a Federal or State agency is not the discharger:
1905,3-1.1 After verbal contact, if necessary to expedite discharge
removal activities, the OSC will provide the Commander, llth or 12th
Coast Guard District (f) (hereinafter referred to as CCGD ll(f) or
12(f)) depending upon the location of the discharge, with the following
information in writing:
a. Statement that OSC has determined that Federal
discharge removal actions are necessary.
b. Description and location of the discharge.
c. Date spill occurred and type of pollutant
d. Estimated cost of removal actions be reimbursable
from the Fund. The estimate should encompass all costs of
Phase III and IV activities including those of Federal and
State agencies, commercial contractors and supplies used
during cleanup as outlined in Section 1905.4-
e. Estimated time needed for removal actions.
f. Name of discharger or suspected discharger if known.
1905.3-1-2 The CCGD ll(f) or 12(f) will respond verbally if necessary
and then in writing as follows:
a. Commit the USCG to pay/reimburse all activities engaged in by
the OSC up to a specific dollar amount based on the initial
estimate of funds (transferable to a successor OSC if changed
by Chairman of the RRT). This commitment encompasses reimbursement
to all activities engaged in by the OSC to clean up the discharge.
b. Assign a Project Number.
Note: The Fund will reimburse Federal or State agencies, including
EPA and USCG, for expenses incurred in during removal actions
which were authorized by the OSC.
-------
-5-
1905.3-1.3 The OSC will:
a. Obtain additional commitment authorization when it is apparent
the initial cost estimate will be exceeded.
b. Within one day after cleanup (Phase IV) has been completed on
each project number assigned, report to the CCGD ll(f ) or
12(f ) that cleanup was completed and provide an expected
transmittal date of the list and estimates required in 1905.3-
1905.3-1.4 Reporting and accounting data retention requirements. The
following is paraphrased from 33 CFR 153-319:
(a) As soon as practicable after termination of Phase IV actions,
the On-Scene Coordinator submits to the appropriate District
Commander a list that includes (l) Names of agencies and con-
tractors authorized by the On-Scene Coordinator to participate in
Phase III or IV actions;
(2) A general description of the functions each agency performed;
(3) An estimate of the cost of each function performed; and
(b) Within 60 days after termination of Phase IV
actions, each Federal agency must submit to the appro-
priate District Commander
(l) An itemized list of costs that it desires to be
paid from the fund. (Billing action under Section 1905.6
is acceptable in lieu of this list).
(2) An itemized list of costs to be recovered against the
responsible party under Section 31l(f ) or (g) of the Act.
(c) Each Federal agency desiring payment of costs from
the Fund must keep accounting data to support the itemized
costs and submit that data to the District Commander at
his request in such form as the Commandant may prescribe.
' 1905.4 Reimbursable Expenditures
1905.4-1 Federal agencies or States and political subdivisions
thereof will be reimbursed from the Fund for expenditures authorized by
the OSC, which were financed from agency funds and which were incurred
in removal operations. Reimbursable expenditures follow:
1905.4-1.1 Costs incurred by industrial type facilities, including
charges for overhead in accordance with the agency's industrial accounting
system.
1905.4-1.2 Actual costs where an agency is required or authorized by
law to obtain full reimbursement.
-------
-6-
1905.4-1.3 Out-of-pocket costs specifically and directly incurred as a
result of recovery activity. They include, but are not limited to the
following:
a. Travel costs (transportation and per diem) specifically
requested by the OSC.
b. Overtime for civilian personnel specifically requested by the
OSC.
c. Incremental maintenance cost of vessels, aircraft, vehicles
and equipment incurred in connection with the response activity.
d. Supplies, materials and minor equipment procured specifically
for the recovery activity.
e. Rental or lease of equipment obtained specifically for the
recovery activity.
f. Contracts costs including costs incurred by non-profit organizations
and States and political subdivisions thereto.
1905.5 Some Limitations on Use of the Fund
1905.5-1 The Fund may be used only during Phase III and Phase IV response
activities (see Sections 403 and 404 of this Plan).
1905.5-2 Personnel and equipment costs which are funded by other appropria-
tions and which would have been incurred during normal operations are not
reimbursable as out-of-pocket costs.
1905.5-3 The purchase of large and expensive equipment are not chargeable
to the Fund.
1905.5-4 Removal actions of oil or hazardous substances discharged from
a U. S. Public vessel or federally controlled facility are the responsibility
of the discharging agency.
1905.6 Billing Actions by Agencies which participated in Removal Actions
1905.6-1 Federal agencies: Within 60 days after termination of Phase IV
operations, prepare SF 1080 and indicate the paying office to be:
Commander, Twelfth Coast Guard District (f)
630 Sansome Street
San Francisco CA 94126
or
Commander, Eleventh Coast Guard District (f)
Heartwell Building
19 Pine Avenue
Long Beach CA 90802
-------
-7-
Refer to the Project Number assigned by the USCG and mail the
SF1080 to the OSC for certification that services and materials for
which billing is submitted was requested and received by him.
1905.6-2 The State governmental elements identified in Section 203.1-1
of this Plan will seek reimbursement for removal operation expenditures
in behalf of all State agencies and political subdivisions thereof.
They shall use their regular billing system and indicate the paying
office to be the same as that shown above for Federal agencies and
prepare the State equivalent for SF1080.
1905.6-3 Refer to the Project Number assigned by the USCG to the OSC.
Mail the bill to the OSC for certification that services and materials
for which billing is submitted was requested by him.
1905.7 Reporting of Other Costs Incurred not Reimbursible from the
Fund (other than out-of-pocket Costs J~.
1905.7.1 Federal agencies only. Within 60 days, submit a report to the
OSC itemizing those costs which the Federal agency would have incurred
whether or not the discharge had occurred, but for which the Federal
government will seek recovery of costs from the discharger as a user
charge for employing Federal resources in the removal actions. Such
costs include but are not restricted to:
1905.7-1.1 Personnel costs, including those assigned to operate equipment
or a manned facility, such as a Coast Guard cutter, listed by hourly
rates, limited to a maximum of eight hours per calendar day.
1905.7-1.2 Equipment costs, including any hourly rate for depreciation
and maintenance determined by applying generally accepted accounting
principles.
1905.7-1.3 Additional supplies and materials expended.
1905.7-1.4 All other specific determinable costs incurred as a result
of Phase III or IV response activity.
1906 Obligations of Funds
1906.1 Care must be exercised to ensure that misunderstandings do not
develop about reimbursement of funds expended for containment and cleanup
activities. The OSC should not knowingly request services for which
reimbursement is mandatory unless reimbursement funds are known to be
available. Similarly, the agency supplying a reimbursable service
should determine the source of reimbursement before committing resources
necessitating reimbursement.
1906.2 The OSC shall exert adequate control of removal operations so
that he can certify that reimbursement from the Fund is appropriate.

Annex X
2000 Schedule of Chemicals to Remove Oil and Hazardous
Substances Discharges
2001 General
2001.1 This schedule shall apply to waters of the United States and
adjoining shorelines, and the waters of the contiguous zone.
2001.2 This schedule applies to the use of any chemicals as hereinafter
defined that may be used to remove oil and remove or neutralize hazardous
substances discharges.
2001.3 This schedule advocates development and utilization of
mechanical and other control methods that will result in removal of oil
and hazardous substance(s) discharges from the environment with.subsequent
proper disposal.
2001.4 It is the intent of this schedule that no harmful quantities
of any substances be applied to the waters to remove or neutralize the
effects of oil or hazardous substances discharges.
2001.5 Relationship of the Environmental Protection Agency with
other Federal and State agencies in implementing this schedule: in
those States with more stringent laws, regulations or written policies
for regulation of chemical use, (see Section 2002.3) such States laws,
regulations, or written policies shall govern. This schedule will apply
in those states that have not adopted such laws, regulations or written
policies.
2001.6 It has been determined that because of the overriding need
for prompt initiation of discharge removal actions, no formal permit, as
provided for by Section 402 of the Act, shall be required before application
of chemicals (see Section 2002.3) to mitigate the effects of a discharge.
The provisions of Section 201.7 of this plan shall apply.
2002 Definitions. Substances applied to oil or floating hazardous
substances discharges are defined as follows:
2002.1 Collecting agents - are those substances that concentrate,
congeal, entrap, fix, gel or make the pollutant mass more rigid or
viscous in order to facilitate removal from the water's surface.
-------
-2-
2002.2 Sinking agents - are those substances that can physically
sink the pollutant below the water's surface.
2002.3 Chemical agents - are those elements, compounds or mixtures
that disperse, dissolve, emulsify, neutralize, precipitate, oxidize
or reduce the pollutant on the water's surface or in the water column.
2003 Collecting agents. Collecting agents are considered to be
generally acceptable providing that these materials do not in themselves
or in combination with the pollutant increase the environmental hazard.
They may be used only when authorized by the OSC on a case-by-case basis.
The OSC can authorize that use only after considering the effects on the
performance of the collecting agent of ambient temperatures, wind, wave
action, debris, and other foreign material in the water, type of oil,
and availability of removal operations to remove the collected oil.
Technical guidance on application techniques and dosage ratio will be
provided by EPA.
2004 Sinking agents. Sinking agents shall not be used for oil and
hazardous substances pollution control.
2005 Authorities controlling use of chemical agents
2005.1 Major and medium discharges - Chemical agents may be used in
any place, at any time, and in quantities designated by the OSC, when
their use will:
2005.1-1 In the judgment of the OSC, prevent or substantially reduce
hazard to human life or limb or substantially reduce explosion or fire
hazard to property;
2005.1-2 In the judgment of EPA, in consultation with appropriate
State agencies, prevent or reduce substantial hazard to a major segment
of the population(s) of vulnerable species of waterfowl; and,
2005.1-3 In the judgment of EPA, in consultation with appropriate State
agencies, result in the least overall environmental damage, or interference
with designated uses.
2005.2 Minor discharge. The provisions of Section 2005.1-1 shall
apply. The use of chemical agents in any other situation shall be
subject to this schedule except in States where State laws, regulations,
or written policies that govern the prohibition, use, quantity, or type
of chemical are in effect. In such States, the State laws, regulations,
or written policies shall be followed during the removal operation.
-------
-3-
2006 Restrictions on use of chemical agents for pollution control
purposes. Except as noted in 2005.1 above, chemical agents shall not be
applied to the waters to remove discharges:
2006.1 of distillate fuel oils;
2006.2 of less than 200 barrels of oil;
2006.3 from any beach;
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 chemical agents or
dispersed pollutants.
2006.6 in waters where winds and/or currents are of such velocity and
direction that chemically treated mixtures would likely, in the judgment
of EPA, be carried to shore areas within 24 hours; or
2006.7 in any waters where such use may affect surface drinking water
supplies.
2007 Chemical agent usage. Chemical agents may be used for removal
of oil discharges in accordance with this schedule if other control
methods are judged to be inadequate or infeasible, and if:
2007.1 Technical information on the physical, chemical, and toxicity
characteristics of the chemical agents has been submitted in duplicate
to the Division of Oil and Special Materials Control, EPA, Washington,
D.C. 20460, at least 60 days prior to the chemical agent's use. The
submission shall include the information required in Sections 2007.3 and
2007.4 as well as dispersant effectiveness and toxicity data obtained in
accordance with the EPA standard analytical procedures specified in
"Standard Dispersant Effectiveness and Toxicity Test" (EPA R2-73-201,
May 1973).
2007.2 Information furnished in accordance with Section 2007.1 shall
be maintained on file by EPA to provide technical guidance to pre-
designated OSC's on the acceptable circumstances of use and dosage rates
for the chemical agent(s).
2007.3 Chemical agent containers shall be labeled with the following
information:
2007.3-1 Name, brand or trademark, if any, under which the chemical
agent is sold;
-------
-4-
2007.3-2 Name and address of the manufacturer, importer or vendor;
2007.3-3 Flash point;
2007.3-4 Freezing or pour point;
2007.3-5 Viscosity;
2007.3-6 Special handling, storage or worker safety precautions;
2007.3-7 Recommend application procedure(s), concentration(s),
and conditions for use depending upon water salinity, water
temperature, and types and ages of the pollutants; and
2007.3-8 Date of production and shelf life.
2007.4 Information to be supplied to EPA:
2007.4-1 Chemical agent name and percentage of each component;

biodegradations to mitigate the effects of a discharge. These agents
may be used only when such use of the most desirable technique for
removing oils or hazardous substances and only after obtaining approval
from the appropriate state and local public health and water pollution
control officials. Biological agents may be used only when a listing
of organisms or other ingredients contained in the agent is provided
to EPA in sufficient time for review before it is used.
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 materials
to which they are applied, increase the pollution hazard and their use
is approved by appropriate Federal, State, and local fire prevention
officials.

2300 Volunteer Assistance
2301 In sane pollution spill situations, volunteers who desire to
assist in the response effort may present themselves.
2302 The need for volunteer assistance shall be determined by the
OSC.
2303 Public information releases should indicate the need for, or
lack of need for, volunteers with specific information of to whom
volunteers should report.
2304 Volunteers will be (l) either under the direction of a con-
tracted company or (2) under the direction of the appropriate State
agency (see State of California Contingency Plan in Appendix C).
2305 If volunteers are not under the direction of a contracted firm
or State agency, the OSC shall, with R.R.T. concurrence, arrange for a
Federal agency to assume the direction of volunteer forces.
2306 Volunteers should be used in the following specific areas of
response: .
2306.1 Beach Surveillance;
2306.2 Logistical support;
2306.3 Bird and other wildlife treatment; and
2306.4 Scientific investigations.
2307 Volunteers normally should not be used for physical removal of
pollutants. Specifically, if a substance is toxic to humans, volunteers
should not be permitted at on-scene operations.
2308 On the scene training of volunteers will be accomplished through
a contracted company, State agency or Federal agency as appropriate.

2503.13 CRUDE OIL: Petroleum as it is extracted from the earth.
There may be several thousands of different substances in crude oil some
of which evaporate quickly, while others persist indefinitely. The
physical characteristics of crude oils may vary widely. Crude oils are
often identified in trade jargon by their regions of origin. This
identification may not relate to the apparent physical characteristics
of the oil. Commercial gasoline, kerosene, heating oils, diesel oils,
lubricating oils, waxes, and asphalts are all obtained by refining crude
oil.
2503.13 DEMULSIBILITY; The resistance of oil to emulsification, or the
ability of 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 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 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 distilla-
tion 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 and more easily it evaporates.
A high number indicates a relatively thick, heavy oil. No. 1 and 2 fuel
oils are usually used in domestic heaters, and the others are used by
industry and ships. No. 5 and 6 oils are solids which must be liquified
by heating. Kerosene, coal oil and range oil are all No. 1 oil. No. 3
fuel oil is no longer used as a standard term.
2503.21 INNAGE: Space occupied in a product container.
2503.22 IN PERSONEM: An action in personem is instituted against an
individual, usually through the personal service of process, and may
result in the imposition of a liability directly upon the person of a
defendant.
-------
-5-
2503-23 IN REM; An action in r em is one in which the vessel or thing
itself is treated as offender and made defendant without any proceeding
against the owners or even mentioning their names. The decree in an
action in rem is enforced directly against the res by a condemnation and
sale thereof.
2503-24 LOAD ON TOP; A procedure for ballasting and cleaning unloaded
tankers without discharging oil. Half of the tanks are first filled
with seawater while the others are cleaned by hosing. Then oil from the
cleaned tanks, along with oil which has separated out in the full tanks,
is pumped into a single slop tank. The clean water in the full tanks is
then discharged while the freshly-cleaned tanks are filled with seawater.
Ballast is thus constantly maintained.
2503.25 OIL FIIMS; A slick thinner than .0001 inch which may be
classified as follows:
Gallons of Oil
Standard Term Per Square Mile Appearance
"barely visible" 25 barely visible under
most favorable light
conditions
"silvery" 50 visible as a silvery
sheen on surface water
"slightly colored" 100 first trace of color
may be observed
"brightly colored" 200 bright bands of color
are visible
"dull" 666 colors begin to turn
dull brown
"dark" 1332 dull brown
Note; Each one-inch thickness of oil equals 5.61 gallons per square
yard of 17,378,709 gallons per square mile.
2503.26 OUTAGE; Space left in a product container to allow for
expansion during temperature changes it may undergo during shipment
and use. Measurement of space not occupied.
2503.27 pH: Term used to express the apparent acidity or alkalinity
of aqueous solutions; values below 7 indicate acid solutions and values
above 7 indicate alkaline solutions.
-------
-6-
2503.28 POUR POINT: The lowest temperature at which an oil will flow
or can be poured under specified conditions of test.
2503.29 RESIDUAL OIL; A general term used to indicate a heavy viscous
fuel oil.
2503.30 SCUPPERS: Openings around the deck of a vessel which allow
water falling onto the deck to flow overboard. These should be plugged
during fuel transfer.
2503.31 SLUDGE OIL: Muddy impurities and acid which have settled from
a mineral oil.
2503.32 SPECIFIC GRAVITY; The ratio of the weight of a given volume
of the material at a stated temperature to the weight of an equal volume
of distilled water at a stated temperature.
2503-33 SPONTANEOUS IGNITION TEMPERATURE (S.I.T. ): The temperature at
Which an Oil ignites Of its own accord in the presence of air oxygen
under standard conditions.
2503.34 STOKE: The unit of kinematic viscosity.
2503.35 TONNAGE: There are various tonnages applied to merchant
ships. The one commonly implied is gross tonnage, although in these
days tankers and other bulk-carriers are often referred to in terms of
deadweight.
2503.35-1 GROSS TONNAGE; 100 cubic feet of permanently enclosed space
is equal to one gross tonnothing 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 accommodation, stores, equipment, etc. Port and harbor dues
are based on this tonnage.
2503.35-3 DISPLACEMENT TONNAGE: The actual weight in tons, varying
according to whether a vessel is in light or loaded 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.
-------
-7-
2503-36 ULLAGE; The amount by which a tank or vessel lacks of being
full, (also see OUTAGE)
2503.37 VISCOSITY; The property of liquids which causes them to
resist instantaneous change of shape, or instantaneous rearrangement of
their parts, due to internal friction. The resistance which the particles
of a liquid offer to a force tending to move them in relation to each
other. Viscosity of oils is usually expressed as the number of seconds,
at a definite temperature, required for a standard quantity of oil to
flow through a standard apparatus.
2503.38 VISCOUS; Thick, resistant to flow thus having a high viscosity.
2503.39 VOLATILE; Evaporates easily.
