100 INTRODUCTION
101 Background and Authority
101.1 The Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA), as
amended 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. Accordingly, the Council
on Environmental Quality developed the National Oil and
Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (Federal
Register V. 40, #28, rev. February 10, 1975).
101.2 The National Plan calls for the establishment of a
nationwide^net of regional contingency plans. This plan is
part of that net and encompasses the inland areas of Presiden-
tial Standard Region IX. This includes the States of Nevada,
Arizona, and inland areas of California. U.S. Coast Guard
Region IX publishes the Contingency Plan for Hawaii, Guam,
American Samoa, the Pacific Island Trust Territories, and the
coastal zone of the State of California.
101.3- The EPA has been delegated some additional respon-
sibilities relating to both coastal and inland waters. These
include granting of permits to discharge oil for demonstration
and research purposes; specifiying the usage of chemicals to
remove discharges; administering spill prevention regulations
on non-transportation related facilities; defining legal
limitations on discharges of oil; and instituting legal action
to secure relief from the imminent and substantial threat of
a discharge of oil or hazardous substance into or upon the
navigable waters of the United States.
10T.4 Criteria for preparation of state, subregional, and
local plans have been developed by the EPA and published in
the Federal Register (36 F.R. 228, November 25, 1971) and the
Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR 109).
102 Purpose
102.1 This Regional Plan (including annexes) provides for
a pattern of coordinated response by agencies of the Federal
governments to pollutant spills. It promotes the coordination
100-1
-------
of Federal, State, and local response systems and encourages
the development of capabilities of local government and
private interests to handle or prevent such discharges.
103 Scope
103.1 This plan is effective for all United States inland
navigable waters, and adjoining shorelines located within the
Environmental Protection Agency Region IX. For the purpose
of this plan, Region IX consists of the states of Arizona,
California and Nevada.
103.2 The provisions of this plan are applicable to all
Federal agencies. This plan is based upon the National Plan
and may be complemented by Federal interagency and local
assistance plans and agreements.

300 POLICY AND
RESPONSIBILITY
-------
300 POLICY ANE) RESPONSIBILITY
301 Federal Policy
301.1 The Congress has declared that it is the policy of
the United St'ates 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)(l) of the
FWPCA]
301.2 Subpart B of the National Plan details Federal Policy
with regard to an oil or hazardous substance discharge.
302 Federal Responsibility
302.1 To implement Federal policy, Federal agencies have
responsibilities, established by statute, to respond to an oil
or hazardous substance discharge. Subpart B of the National
Plan outlines the specific responsibilities of each agency.
All Federal agencies are responsible for minimizing the
occurrence of discharges and for developing the capability to
respond promptly in cases of discharges from facilities they
operate or supervise, and for making resources available for
Regional spill response operations. Primary agencies have the
following additional responsibilties: to lead all Federal
agencies in developing programs to minimize environmental
damage from discharges; to develop the capability for rapid,
coordinated response to any pollution discharges; to provide
representatives to the RRT; to advise the RRT and OSC; to keep
the RRT informed of changes in the availability of resources
affecting the operation of this plan.
303 Non-Federal Responsibility
303.1 Federal responsibility is not all inclusive with
respect to oil and hazardous substance discharge response. It
is expected that state and local authorities will exercise
jurisdiction in related areas (e.g., State beach cleanup,
traffic and crowd control, etc.).
300-1
-------
303.2 Industry groups have committed resources for
response through organized spill cooperatives.
303.3 The States of Arizona, Nevada, and California have
committed resources for response operations through State oil
spill contingency plans. In addition, they have designated
representatives to the RRT (Section 1203.2).
303.3-1 In California, State discharge response operations
are supervised by the Department of Fish and Game.
303.3-2 In Nevada, State discharge response operations are
supervised by the State of Nevada Civil Defense and Disaster
Agency.
303.3-3 In Arizona, State discharge response operations are
supervised by the State Department of Health Services.

402.2 National Response Team
402.2-1 The National Response Team consists of members from
the primary and advisory agencies headquarters. It serves as
the national body for planning and preparedness actions prior
to a pollution discharge, and for coordination and advice
during pollution emergencies requiring its activation.
402.2-2 Subpart C and Section 1200 of the National Plan pro-
vide guidelines for the organization, responsibilities, and
activation of the NRT.
402.3 Regional Response Team
402.3-1 The Regional Response Team (RRT) consists of repre-
sentatives of the primary agencies, advisory agencies, and the
states. Section 1203 provides a list of the membership.
402.3-2 The RRT is activated automatically for major or
potential major discharges. It may be activated during any
pollution emergency by oral request from any primary agency
representative to the RRT Chairman (Director, Surveillance
and Analysis Division, EPA, Region IX). The request shall be
confirmed in writing.
402.3-3 The RRT will perform functions within the region
analogous to those performed nationally by the NRT. Generally,
these include planning, preparedness, and response activities.
Specific functions are outlined below:
a. Monitor incoming reports and evaluate the possible
impact of discharges. Maintain an awareness of
actions proposed by the OSC.
b. Coordinate the actions of various agencies in
supplying needed assistance to the OSC.
c. Provide advice and recommend 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 during a
particular incident.
400-2
-------
d. Determine the extent of Federal response required,
e. Recommend deployment of personnel to monitor the
handling of the spill.
f. Request other agencies and groups to consider
taking appropriate response action.
g. Determine when a shift of on-scene coordination
from the predesignated OSC is indicated by cir-
cumstances or progress of a pollution emergency.
h. Provide a focal point for public relations.
(Section 1600).
i. Develop procedures to promote the coordinated
actions of all Federal, State, local government,
and private agencies during pollution incidents.
j. Assist in the preparation of amendments to this
plan.
k. Review State contingency plans and make recommen-
dations for improving the effectiveness of such
plans.
1. Review OSC reports of major spills and pollution
incidents for the purpose of analyzing response
actions and recommending needed improvements in
contingency plans.
402.4 On Scene Cordination
402.4-1 A single predesignated agent, the on-scene coordi-
nator (OSC) is responsible for coordinating and directing
Federal pollution response activities. The OSC monitors or
directs the clean-up activities of all on-scene forces.
404.4-2 The predesignated OSCs for Region IX inland are
given in Section 1700.
402.4-3 The duties of the OSC are detailed in Section
1510.36 of the National Plan, and in the cited annexes of
this Plan. An outline of response actions follows:
400-3
-------
a. Investigate the reported discharge to determine
its potential impact, nature, extent, and source
(Section 1804) .
b. Effect notification, activate RRT (Section 1200),
and prepare initial pollution report (Section 1600),
if necessary.
c. Determine whether removal actions are being carried
out properly in accordance with Section 2000 of
the National Plan and other applicable regulations.
If the discharger does not take appropriate cleanup action,
d. Notify the discharger of his liability for removal
costs (Section 1800 of the National Plan).
e. Activate the National Pollution Revolving Fund
(The Fund) (Section 1900).
f. If state (or local) agencies undertake cleanup
actions, determine if State removal actions are
"necessary" as defined in Section 1903.4. Provide
assistance to State agencies in accessing The Fund.
g. Initiate and direct, as required, Phase II, III,
and IV operations (Sections 500, 2000 and 2100).
h. Maintain communications with the State and local
officials and RRT, if activated, and prepare pollu-
tion reports (Section 1600) and news media releases
(Section 1200).
i. Collect the information needed for recovery of
removal costs (Section 1800).
j. Document and certify expenditures (Sections 1800 and
1900) .
k. Provide necessary support and documentation for
Phase V activities.

-------
500 OPERATION RESPONSE
PHASES
-------
500 OPERATIONAL RESPONSE PHASES
500.1 The actions taken to respond to a pollution dis-
charge can be separated into five relatively distinct phases.
Phase I Discovery and notification
Phase II Evaluation and initiation of action
Phase III Containment and countermeasures
Phase IV Cleanup mitigation and disposal
Phase V Documentation and cost recovery
Each phase is defined and detailed in Subpart D of the
National Plan.
501 Federal Response Role
501.1 Spill cleanup liability is attached to the discharger
in Section 311(f)(l) of the FWPCA. All efforts are made to
give the discharger legal notification of Federal interest and
to encourage voluntary cleanup. If the discharger undertakes
voluntary removal efforts, the OSC remains in a "monitoring
role" to insure adequacy of the cleanup.
501.2 If the discharger is unknown, or fails to take
adequate measures for removal following legal notification of
his liability, all response phases are conducted by the OSC.
502 Special Considerations
502.1 Safety of Personnel. Sources of information on the
hazards, precautions, and protective equipment requirements
-associated with a pollution discharge are available through
the EPA's Technical Assistance Data System (TADS) and the
Manufacturing Chemist Association's Chemical Transportation
Emergency Center (CHEMTREC 800-424-9300).
500-1
-------
502.2 Waterfowl Conservation. Oil discharges can cause
severe stress to waterfowl. The D.OI, State liaison to the
RRT, and the OSC will arrange for and coordinate actions of
professional and volunteer groups that wish to establish bird
collection, cleaning, and recovery stations. These will be
considered Phase IV operations.
502.3 Volunteer Assistance. In many pollution spill
situations, volunteers may present themselves. Volunteers,
under the direction of the contracting agency, SAC, or OSC,
may be used in such activities as beach surveillance, wild-
life treatment, and scientific investigations. They should
not be used for physical removal of pollutants, particularly
when the substance is toxic.
503 Strike Force
503.1 A Pacific Strike Team (PST) has been established by
the Coast Guard to assist in the response to a pollution
incident. The PST can provide four persons at the discharge
site within two hours of notification. The team strength may
be augmented as necessary.
503.2 The PST can provide technical expertise, supervisory
assistance, and deployment of special pollution control
equipment.
503.3 The PST may be activated by request of the OSC
directed to the commanding officer of the PST, the USCG
member of the RRT, or the appropriate area commander.
503.4 The PST is located at Hamilton AFB, Marin County,
California (415-556-2655/FTS-556-2655).

601.2 Predesignated On-Scene Coordinators may not delegate
their authority with regard to the administration and certi-
fication of expenditures under the Pollution Revolving Fund
(33 CFR 153.105, 153.107). The OSC may be represented on
scene by qualified personnel of a rank commensurate with the
spill situation.
602 Multi-Regional Actions
602.1 In the event that a discharge or a potential
pollution emergency moves from the area covered by one
contingency plan into another area, the authority to initiate
pollution control actions shall shift as appropriate.
602.2 There shall be only one OSC at any time during a
response operation. The chairman of the RRT and/or the NRT
shall resolve any problems that arise regarding OSC assignment,
as outlined in Section 1510.52 of the National Plan.
603 Coordination with State Agencies
603.1 State resources may be made available to the OSC
through the single State agency predesignated in the State
oil spill contingency plans.
603.2 This same agency is the only State element which
may apply for reimbursement from the National Pollution
Revolving Fund as outlined in Section 1900.

ANNEX VIII
1800 INVESTIGATION, DOCUMENTATION AND COST RECOVERY
1801 Purpose
Investigation , documentation, and enforcement efforts are
directed towards providing adequate records of a discharge
situation for FWPCA prosecution and cleanup cost recovery.
1802 Authority
1802.1 Section 1700 of the National Plan summarizes the
Federal statutes, regulations, and administrative orders
relevant to oil pollution control.
1802.2 Violations and Penalties Under Section 311 of the
FWPCA.
1802.2-1 Section 311(b)(3) of the FWPCA prohibits the dis-
charge of harmful quantities of oil into or upon the waters of
the United States, and adjoining shorelines, or into or upon
the waters of the contiguous zone.
A harmful quantity is defined in 40 CFR 110 as that amount
which will cause a film or sheen on, or sludge or emulsion in
or under -the water. The only exception is the minor amount of
oil discharged from the exhaust of a "properly functioning"
marine engine.
The FWPCA provides for a civil penalty of up to $5,000 against
the owner/operator of the source of the discharge.
1802.2-2 Section 311(b)(5) of the FWPCA mandates that, as
soon as the "person in charge" of the vessel or facility has
"knowledge" of any discharge of oil or a hazardous substance,
he report the discharge to the appropriate agency of the
United States government (Section 1201.1).
The FWPCA provides for a criminal penalty of up to $10,000
fine, imprisonment for one year or both for failure to
notify.
1802.2-3 Section 311(j) of the Clean Water Act provides for
the creation of regulations (a) establishing methods and
procedures for removal of discharged oil and hazardous sub-
stances (33 CFR 153), and (b) establishing procedures,
1800-1
-------
methods and equipment and other requirements for equipment
to prevent discharges and to contain discharges (33 CFR 154,
155, 156).
The FWPCA provides for civil penalty of up to $5,000 for vio-
lation of the liability or pollution prevention regulations.
1802.2-4 Section 311(f) of the FWPCA establishes financial
liability to the U.S. Government for the discharge of oil or
hazardous substances. Cleanup liability is unlimited if the
discharge is proven to result from willful negligence or
willful misconduct within the privy and knowledge of the
owner. Such owner or operator of a vessel/facility shall be
liable to the United States government for the full amount of
such costs.
1803 Background and References
1803.1 Section 1800 of the National Plan outlines procedures
to be used in:
a. notification of counsel;
b. giving legal notice to suspected dischargers;
c. collecting samples; and
d. obtaining photographic records.
1804 Investigation
1804.1 Investigation and documentation of evidence must be
performed in a timely manner throughout the oil spill event,
as winds, tide, and current will disperse and remove evidence.
Further, eyewitnesses to the incident may no longer be avail-
able if not interviewed in a timely manner.
1805 Documentation of Cleanup Costs
The OSC is required to keep detailed records of men and
equipment (Federal and non-Federal) utilized in the cleanup.
Participants must submit invoices to the OSC for certifica-
tion prior to being paid. Federal agencies should submit
claims for "direct" costs on Form SF 1080. Federal agencies
are also to submit documentation on "indirect" costs. State
agencies will submit "direct" costs on the State equivalent
to Form SF 1080. Private contractors will use normal invoice
procedures.
1800-2
-------
The OSC must reconcile all invoices with the purchase orders
and with completed records of performance/receipt. The OSC
then makes a certification on the original invoice. The
statement certifies that the actions for which reimbursement
is being requested were authorized as Phase III or IV removal
costs, and that they are reasonable, and proper for payment
from the Fund.
Documentation of resources expended must be made by all
parties to carry out the provisions outlined above.
1800-3

ANNEX IX
-------
ANNEX IX
1900 FUNDING
1901 Policy
1901.1 Federal policy encourages the person responsible for
a discharge to take appropriate remedial actions promptly.
Usually this will mean that the cost of removal of the dis-
charge will be borne by the person responsible.
1901.2 If the discharger does not act, Federal removal
actions may be initiated. The discharger, if known, is liable
for the reasonable costs of such actions.
1902 Background and References
1902.1 Section 1900 of the National Plan outlines the types
of funds which may be available to clean up certain oil and
hazardous substance spills, and the agency responsible for
administering those funds.
1902.2 33 CFR 153 outlines the specific use of the Natinoal
Pollution Revolving Fund (The Fund) established by Section
311(k) of the FWPCA.
1903 Federal Role, State Role, and Activation of the National
Pollution Revolving Fund
1903.1 Monitoring Cleanup Operations
When the discharger undertakes appropriate cleanup operations,
the OSC monitors progress and provides counsel. No operating
funds are provided for this activity. The Fund is not acti-
vated; and thus there is no provision for paying State or
Federal agencies for their monitoring efforts.
1903.2 Discharge from Federal or State Facility
Expenses for cleanup action for such discharges are to be
borne by the appropriations of the responsible agency. The
Pollution Fund is not available to pay any foreign, Federal,
1900-1
-------
State, or local government agency for costs incurred in the
removal* of substances discharged from a vessel it owns or
operates.
1903.3 Discharged from a Non-Federal Facility
Federal cleanup activities are initiated when the water pollu-
tion discharger is (1) unknown or (2) does not take prompt and
appropriated cleanup action. "Direct" costs incurred for this
purpose may be reimbursed by The Fund. The discharger remains
liable for these costs.
1903.4 State Removal Activities
1903.4-1 The State or States affected by a discharge may act
where "necessary" to remove such discharge and may be reim-
bursed from The Fund for the reasonable costs incurred in such
removal. [FWPCA Section 311(c)(2)(H)] Removal by a State is
"necessary" when the OSC determines 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:
a. State action is required to minimize or mitigate sig-
nificant damage to the public health or welfare which
Federal action cannot minimize or mitigate; or
b. 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 depart-
ments or agencies.
Notwithstanding the above, State removal actions are not
necessary if not in compliance with Section 2000 of the
National Plan.
1903.4-2 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.
1903.4-3 When supervised by the State SAC, removal operations
of a local government are considered to be actions of the
State for purposes of this section.
1903.4-4 Access of the Fund by the State shall be through the
EPA predesignated OSC (Section 1700).
1900-2
-------
1904 Use of the National Pollution Revolving Fund
1904.1 The OSC is the only person who may authorize activi-
ties which are reimbursable from The Fund. If he is not con-
tacted prior to initiation of cleanup operations, expenditures
which otherwise meet the criteria for use of The Fund may not
be reimburseable.
1904.2 The OSC must determine that the following situation
exists to meet the criteria for access to The Fund.
a. That oil or a hazardous substance has been discharged
into or upon the waters of the United States or adjoining
shoreline; and
b. That the OSC has given the discharger legal notification
of improper or inadequate cleanup action and the dis-
charger has failed to voluntarily conduct adequate
cleanup action; or
c. The identity of the discharger is unknown.
1904.3 Procedure for Activation the Fund
The OSC will provide the Commander, llth or 12th Coast Guard
District, with the following information in writing (after
initial telephone contact):
a. statement that the 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 reimburseable from
the Fund. The estimate should include costs of all
Phase III and IV activities;
e. estimated time needed for removal;
f. name of discharge or suspected discharger, if known.
1900-3
-------
The Coast Guard will respond as follows:
a. commit the U.S. Coast Guard to reimburse all expenditures
up to a specific dollar amount based on the initial
estimate;
b. assign a Project Number.
The OSC will:
a. obtain additional commitment authorization when it
appears the initial cost estimate will be exceeded;
b. report termination of operations to the U.S. Coast
Guard within one day.
1904.4 Reporting and Accounting Data Retention Requirements
a. As soon as practicable after termination of Phase IV
actions, the On-Scene Coordinator will submit to the
appropriate District Commander a list that includes:
1. names of agencies and contractors authorized by the
On-Scene Coordinator to participate in Phase III or
IV actions;
2. a general description of the functions each agency
performed; and
3. an estimate of the cost of each function performed.
b. Within 60 days after termination of Phase IV actions,
each Federal agency must submit to the appropriate
District Commander:
1. an itemized list of costs that it desires to be paid
from The Fund (billing action under Section 1904.7
of this plan is acceptable in lieu of this list).
2. an itemized list of costs to be recovered against
the responsible party under Section 311(f) or (g) of
the FWPCA.
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.
1900-4
-------
1904.5 Reimbursable Expenditures
Federal agencies or States and political sub-divisions thereof
will be reimbursed from the Fund for expenditure authorized
by the OSC which were financed from agency funds and which
were incurred in removal operations. Reimbursable expenditures
follow:
33 CFR 153
Section 153.407, Payments or Reimbursement from the Pollution
Fund
a. The Following costs incurred during performance of a
Phase III or IV activity, defined by the National Contin-
gency Plan, as authorized by the appropriate OSC under
the authority of Section 311(c) of the FWPCA and of the
provisions of the National Contingency Plan, or during
the removal of elimination of threats of pollution
hazards from discharges, or imminent discharges, of oil
or hazardous substances, and the removal and destruction
of vessels, so authorized by the appropriate OSC under
the authority of Section 311(d) of the FWPCA are reim-
burseable to Federal and State agencies:
1. Costs found to be reasonable by the OSC incurred by
government industrial type facilities, including
charges for overhead in accordance with the agency's
industrial accounting system.
2. Actual costs for which an agency is required or
authorized by any law to obtain full reimbursement.
3. Costs found to be reasonable by the OSC incurred as
a result of removal activities that are not ordi-
narily funded by an agency's regular appropriations
and that are not incurred during normal operations.
These costs include, but are not limited to the
following:
i. Travel (transportation and per diem) specifi-
cally requested of the agency by the On-Scene
Coordinator.
ii. Overtime for civilian personnel specifically
requested of the agency by the On-Scene
Coordinator.
1900-5
-------
iii. Incremental operating costs for vessels,
aircraft, vehicles, and equipment incurred in
connection with the removal activity.
iv. Supplies, material, and equipment procured
for the specific removal activity and fully
expended during the removal activity.
v. Lease or rental of equipment for the specific
removal activity.
vi. Contract costs for the specific removal
activity-
vii. Claims payable under Part 25, Subpart J of
this title.
1904.6 Limitations on Use of the Fund
1904.6-1 The Fund may be used only during Phase III and
Phase IV response activities.
1904.6-2 Personnel and equipment costs which are funded by
other appropriates and which would have been incurred during
normal operations are not reimbursable as out of pocket costs.
These are "indirect" costs and are tabulated separately.
1904.6-3 The purchase of large and expensive equipment is not
chargeable to the Fund.
1904.7 Billing Actions
1904.7-1 Federal Agencies
Withing 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, California 94126
Commander, Eleventh Coast Guard District (f)
Union Bank Building
400 Oceangate Boulevard
Long Beach, California 90822
1900-6
-------
Refer to the Project Number assigned by the U.S. Coast Guard
and mail the SF-1080 to the OSC for certification that services
and materials for which billing is submitted was requested and
received by him.
1904.7-2 State Agencies
The State governmental elements identified in 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
prepare the State equivalent for SF-1080. Indicate the pay-
ing office to be the same as that shown above for Federal
agencies.
Refer to the Project Number assigned by the U.S. Coast Guard
to the OSC. Mail the bill to the OSC for certification that
services and materials for which billing is submitted was
requested by him.
1904.8 The Reporting of "Indirect" Costs Incurred Not
Reimbursable from the Fund (Other Than Out of Pocket Costs,
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 costs from the discharger as a
user charge for employing Federal resources in the removal
actions. Such costs include but are not restricted to:
a. Personnel costs, including those assigned to operate
equipment or to man facility listed by hourly rates, are
limited to a maximum of eight hours per calendar day.
b. Equipment costs, including any hourly rate for deprecia-
tion and maintenance determined by applying generally
accepted accounting principles.
c. Additional supplies and materials expended.
d. All other specific determinable costs incurred as a
result of Phase III or IV response activity-
1900-7
-------
1904.9 Obligation of Funds
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 reimburse-
ment funds are known to be available. Similarly, the agency
supplying a reimburseable service should determine the source
of reimbursement before committing resources necessitating
reimbursement.
