                        100 INTRODUCTION

101  AUTHORITY

     This plan is required  by Section 300.42(a) of the National  Oil
     and Hazardous cubstances Contingency Plan  (NCP) (40  CFR Part
     300).

102  PURPOSE AND  OBJECTIVE

     102.1     Purpose.  The purpose of this plan  is coordination of
              timely,  effective  response  by  various  Federal
              agencies and other  organizations to discharges of  oil
              and  releases of hazardous  substances,  pollutants  and
              contaminants  in  order to protect  public  health,
              welfare  and  the  environment  (NCP,  300.42(a)).
              Although this plan includes information on CERCLA
              remedial  response actions, the primary  purpose of  the
              plan is to provide instructions for response actions
              under the removal  provisions of the CERCLA and  for
              response actions under  provisions of  the CWA.

     102.2     Q.b_j.£££.i.y.£.   The  objective  of  this plan is  to
              effectuate the  response powers and responsibilities
              created by the Comprehensive  Environmental Response,
              Compensation, and Liability  Act of 1980  (CERCLA)  and
              the  authorities established by Section 311 of  the
              Clean Water  Act  (CWA),  as  amended  (NCP, 300.1).

103  SCOPE AND PROVISIONS

     103.1     fierce..  This  Plan applies to all Federal  agencies  and
              is effective for discharges  or  threats of discharges
              of oil into  or upon navigable waters  of the United
              States  and  adjoining shorelines,  releases   or
              substantial  threats  of releases   of  hazardous
              substances  into the environment, and releases  or
              substantial threats of releases  of pollutants  or
              contaminants which may  present an  imminent  and
              substantial danger to public  health  or welfare in
              Standard  Federal  Region  VIII:   The States  of
              Colorado, Montana, North  Dakota, South Dakota, Utah
              and  Wyoming.   In accordance with  Sec. 502(7) of  the
              CWA,  the  term  "navigable waters" means the waters of
              the  United States, including the  territorial seas.
              "Waters of the United  States"  is  defined  in 40  CFR
              Part 122.2.
                              1-1                  07/26/85

              200 RESPONSIBILITIES AND ORGANIZATION



     The  Response Team, consisting of representatives from selected
     Federal and State agencies,  is  the regional body  responsible
     for  planning  and preparedness functions prior  to an  oil
     discharge or hazardous substances release and  provides advice
     and  assistance  to the  OSC  following  such  discharges  and
     releases.  The RRT organization  and functions  are described in
     Section  205.

202  STATE AND LOCAL AGENCIES

     The  Governor of each State  in  Region VIII has  designated an
     agency  to represent the State  on  the RRT.  State and  local
     government agencies  are encouraged  to include  contingency
     planning for  response,  consistent  with this  Plan, in  all
     emergency and disaster planning.  States  are also encouraged to
     use  State authorities to compel  potential  responsible parties
     to undertake  response  actions, or  to  themselves  undertake
     response actions which are not eligible for Federal funding.

                   response  co  discharges and releases that may
                   affect  resources  under  their  management
                   authority regardless  of  the source  of the
                   discharge or  release.

            (C)     Federal, State and local agencies must comply
                   with  the  requirements  of  the Oil Pollution
                   Prevention Regulations  (40 CFR 112)  in the same

                    300 RESPONSE OPERATIONS

301  FIRST OFFICIAL ON-SCENE

     301.1     Policy

              It is the policy  of  the RRT, consistent  with  the
              language throughout the NCP, that response actions on
              non-Federal lands should be monitored or implemented
              (when necessary) by the lowest level of government
              with authority and  capability to conduct such
              activities.  The lowest level will generally be local
              government agencies.  When incident  response exceeds
              the capability of  local  government, local  agencies
              shall request  assistance  from  the  State government.
              When incident response is total or  partially beyond
              the capability of the State, the State may request
              Federal  assistance.  The OSC will accept a State or
              local request for assistance only from  the State RRT
              Representative  or  his  designee.   The  subpart
              describes response operation when Federal assistance
              is requested or required,  but can be used  by  any
              responder as a guide for  proper response operations.
                                        V
     301.2     Responsibilities

     302.5     MultJ--Regional Responses.   There  shall be only one
              OSC  at any time  during the  course  of response
              operation.   If a  pollution incident  transects  or
              moves  across Federal  regional boundaries, the
              response mechanism of each Region will  be activated,
              and authority  will  rest  with the pre-designated OSC
              most impacted  by  the incident (NCP  Sec.  300.35(b)).

              responsible  for a discharge or release are liable for
              the cost of  cleanup.  The OSC shall attempt to have
              the party responsible for the discharge or release
              voluntarily assume responsibility for containment,
              removal and disposal operations.    If  the  OSC
              determines that the responsible party has not or will
              not act promptly to remove or mitigate  the  discharge
              of oil or release of hazardous substances, he may
              initiate  response  actions pursuant  to administrative
              procedures   for the  Funds  established  by   the Clean

         Agency administrating  the funding  mechanism  to
         recover such expenditures from the  party  responsible
         for the discharge  (if known).

303.2     CWA Federal Pollution Fund  (Oil Discharges)

         (A)  Activation and Use.  The Federal Pollution Fund,
              administered by  the  Commandant-USCG,   was
              established pursuant to Section 311(k) of the
              CWA for response to  oil  discharges.   Regulations
              governing the administration and use  of  this
              Fund  are contained in 33 CFR Part  153.   The
              Commander of the Second Coast Guard District has
              published  a  document  entitled  "On-Scene
              Coordinator's  Guidelines  for  Use  of   the
              Pollution  Fund"   (D2INST M16465.3).   Upon
              activation by the OSC, this Fund is available to
              pay direct  allowable  response costs authorized
              by the OSC and  to  reimburse appropriate  and
              reasonable response  costs authorized in ad-
              vance by the pre-designated OSC by Federal and
              State  agencies.   The costs of any agency
              activities not authorized by the OSC  will  be
              funded  from normal  agency  operating budgets.

         (B)  Cost  Recovery.  All agencies participating  in a
              Federal  response action must submit  an  itemized
              account of all  recoverable costs  to  the  OSC
              within  30 days  after the termination of  the
              response actions.   The OSC will  forward these
              costs to the USCG for cost recovery action.   All
              funds recovered  from the  discharge  will  be
              deposited in  the   Pollution  Fund   to  support
              future Federal response efforts.

         (C)  Recoverable Expenses.  A discharger is liable
              for all salary, overhead,  and administrative
              costs of agencies involved in a Federal removal
              action.  Recoverable costs include:

              (1)   Direct expenditures from the  Fund.

              (2)   Reimbursable agency expenditures.

              (3)   Personnel  costs,  including  costs  for
                   personnel  assigned  to  operate  or man
                   facilities.
                         3-11                  07/26/85

-------
     (4)  Equipment costs,  including any hourly rate
         for depreciation  and maintenance  determined
         by applying generally  accepted  accounting
         principles.

     (6)  All other costs incurred as a direct result
         of Phase III  (NCPf Sec. 300.53) response
         activities.

(D)   Reimbursable Expenses.   Some  of the recoverable
     expenses  are also  reimbursable  expenses.
     Reimbursable  expenses  (for  activities requested
     and authorized by the OSC)  include, but are not
     limited to,  the following "out-of-pocket" costs
     specifically and directly incurred as a result
     of the recovery activity:

     (1)  Travel costs  (transportation and  per diem).

     (2)  Overtime for civilian personnel.

     (3)  Incremental  maintenance costs of vessels,
         aircraft, vehicles and  equipment  to the
         extent  that these  costs are increased by
         the hours they are utilized for  pollution
         response.

          (E)  Reimbursement: Procedures

              (1)   Federal Agencies.  To seek reimbursement
                   from the Fund,  Federal agencies must  submit
                   their  reimbursable  expenses  on  Form SF
                   1080,   "Voucher for  Transfer  between
                   Appropriations and/or Funds", to the OSC
                   for  certification.   The OSC  w:!. 11 submit
                   certified requests  for  reimbursement to
                   USCG,   Commander,   Second  Coast  Guard
                   District  (MEPS) within  60 days  after
                   completion  of  cleanup  action  (33  CFR
                   153.417).  The  USCG will effect transfer of
                   funds   to  the  agency  requesting
                   reimbursement and prepare a billing for the
                   discharger from information on  recoverable
                   expenditures on the  DSCG Form "Personnel,
                   Vehicle  and  Mispellaneous  Cost  Accounting
                   Sheet" (available from DSCG).

              (2)   State Agencies.  State agencies that  do not
                   have a  formal agreement with the USCG on
                   methods  and  procedures for reimbursement
                   must submit a  letter to the OSC requesting
                   reimbursement.   This  letter must include a
                   detailed itemized statement of reimbursable
                   expenditures.

303.3     CERCLA Hazardous Substances Response Trust Fund

          (A)  Activation and Use

              (1)   The  EPA  and  USCG have authority to expend
                   funds  from  the  Trust Fund  for  response
                   action  in accordance with provisions of
                   Subpart F of the NCP.  The geographic areas
                   of jurisdiction are the same as for pre-
                   designated  OSC's  (302.1).   When  EPA
                   provides the OSC, the  EPA  Regional
                   Administrator has authority to approve Fund
                   expenditures  not to  exceed  $1,000,000;
                   expenditures exceeding  $1,000,000 must be
                   approved by EPA  Headquarters.   When the
                   USCG provides the OSC, the USCG-OSC has the
                   authority to approve Fund  expenditures not
                   to exceed  $50,000.
                         3-13                  07/26/85

-------
     (2)   Other Federal Agencies have authority to
          expend Trust Fund money in accordance with
          Interagency Agreements (IAG)  and  Memoranda
          of  Understanding  (MOU)   with  EPA.
          Reimbursement of  Agency  expenditures will
          be in  accordance  with  the  procedures
          specified in these lAG's  and  MOU's.

     (3)   The  Trust Fund may  be used to undertake
          immediate removal actions when the agency
          providing  the  OSC determines  that
          initiation  of such action will prevent or
          mitigate  immediate and significant risk of
          harm to human  life  or health or to  the
          environment from such situations as:

          (a)   Human,  animal,  or food chain  exposure
               to acutely toxic substances.

          (b)   Contamination  of a drinking water
               supply.

          (c)   Fire and/or explosion.

          (d)   Similarly acute  situations.

          A  list of  typical  response  actions is
          provided  in Sec. 300.65 (D) of the NCP.

     (4)   Expenditures of Trust  Fund money by a  State
          must  be in  accordance with a  contract or
          cooperative agreement between  EPA  and that
          State.

(B)   Cost  Recovery.   The EPA will make all  decisions
     regarding recovery  of expenditures  from  the
     Trust Fund.  All agencies  expending Trust  Funds
     must  submit an itemized  account  of all  funds
     expended in accordance  with provisions  of  lAG's,
     MOO's,  Contracts or Cooperative Agreements with
     EPA.

(C)   Reimbursement Procedures.  Reimbursement of
     Agency  expenditures  will  be in accordance with
     procedures specified in lAG's, MOU's, Contracts,
     and Cooperative Agreements  with EPA.

-------
     303.4     State Funding Availability.   The States within Region
              VIII  have  limited funds available for conducting
              initial  response  action.  The availability of  funds
              from each State are discussed in Annexes IV-IX.

304   SAFETY OF PERSONNEL

     304.1     Personnel Safety Procedures.  Personnel responding to
              a spill incident  experience the  greatest exposure
              risk.  The hazards associated with  spill response can
              be minimized by  developing and  maintaining an
              inventory of protective equipment and establishing
              general  guidelines  and procedures  for  response
              actions.  Protective  clothing consisting of  gloves,
              rubber boots  and coveralls may be  sufficient to
              protect individuals responding to oil spills,  whereas
              portable communication units  and a thorough knowledge
              of protective equipment limitations must be available
              to individuals  responding  to hazardous substance
              spills.

              General procedures to be observed during any spill
              response may inlcude,  but are»not limited to:

              (A)  Unless the spill  involves a known substance,
                   approach on the assumption that  the  material is
                   EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS.

              (B)  Always approach a spill site from upwind with a
                   predetermined escape route established.

              (C)  Avoid contact  with the  spilled material,
                   contaminated containers, wreckage,  debris,  etc.
                   as much as possible.

              (D)  DO NOT SMOKE and  have  all possible ignition
                   sources removed.

              (E)  Restrict  access  to the  spill area by roping or
                   barricading  the entire  spill  area  and
                   establishing one,  easily controlled point of
                   entry.

              (F)  If unidentified odors,  fuming  liquids, or  gases
                   are present, DO NOT approach the area.

              (G)  Establish a  "buddy  system"  and  rescue mechanism
                   so  that  one person can safely and quickly
                   extricate his "buddy", who has  entered the spill
                   area, without endangering himself.

                              3-15                   07/26/85

-------
          (H)  Establish reliable communications  between
              persons entering  the spill area  and those
              remaining outside.

          (I)  Locate, identify and inform the nearest source
              of medical aid.

          (J)  If injuries or fatalities are involved, alert
              the medical personnel  of the transporting  unit
              and  at  the  destination  point  of  proper
              protection and/or decontamination procedures and
              all available information about the materials
              involved.

304.2     Worker Health and  Safety. The  OSHA representative on
          the RRT will be responsible for assuring that all
          response operations  in  removal or remedial  actions
          conform to OSHA requirements.   The OSC will consult
          with the OSHA representatives to ensure the safety of
          all response personnel  on scene, including private
          contractors, and that an awareness of the potential
          hazards  to health and  safety be included  in all
          response operations.

304.3     Safety Assistance Available.   Spills  of  oil and
          hazardous substances can pose a significant threat to
          the safety and health of any individuals who may come
          in contact with the spilled substance  accidently or
          through response, cleanup or disposal actions.  While
          the greatest  exposure risk lies with the response and
          cleanup  personnel,  there   is  also  a  risk  to the
          general public, through unknowing exposure to  spilled
          hazardous   substances.    Personnel  safety
          considerations are  paramount until spill effects are
          mitigated or  residues finally  disposed.   Protection
          of the health and  safety  of  these individuals can be
          greatly  enhanced by early  coordination with, and
          requesting  assistance from,  the following groups:

          (A)  Fire  Departments  - can  provide significant
              expertise and  assistance  in  controlling
              flammable and  explosive substances and effecting
              vapor suppression at the spill site.

          (B)  Police Departments  - can provide isolation of
              the spill site,  effective  crowd  control and
              resources  for evacuation of downstream and
              downwind residents.
                         3-16                  07/26/85

-------
              (C)  Public Works Departments - can greatly assist in
                  tracking  and  locating spills  which enter storm
                  and/or sanitary sewer systems;  alerting waste
                  treatment plants to minimize spill damage to
                  these facilities; alert residents to  hazards
                  from damage to these facilities;  alert residents
                  to hazards from gases  or  vapors  which may enter
                  their  homes  via sanitary  sewers;  and/  in
                  obtaining  permission to  utilize  stand-by
                  clarifiers,  tankage,  etc.   for  temporary
                  containment.

              (D)  Hospital, clinics  and medical centers  - can
                  provide  assistance  in determining  health
                  effects,  and providing emergency treatment for
                  response personnel or members  of the  general
                  public inadvertently exposed to the  spilled
                  substance.

305  PUBLIC INFORMATION AND COMMUNITY RELATIONS

    305.1     Policy
                                        t
              (A)  Federal.  When a  major discharge or significant
                  release occurs, it is  imperative that the public
                  be provided  prompt, accurate  information on the
                  nature of the discharge or  release and  what
                  steps are being taken to correct  the  problem.
                  This  policy  must  be  followed  to  obtain
                  understanding  from the  public,   ensure
                  cooperation  from all interested  parties, and to
                  check the spread of misinformation.  National
                  administrative  policy and the Freedom  of
                  Information Act both call for  maximum disclosure
                  of information.

              (B)  State. The  RRT representatives for the States
                  of Colorado,  Montana, South  Dakota, and  Utah
                  have agreed that  EPA will assume the lead  role
                  in  supplying public information during  a
                  response operation.  The States of Wyoming and
                  North  Dakota,  while  coordinating  with  EPA,
                  reserve  the  right  to  issue  any  public
                  information that they feel to  be in the  best
                  interest  of  the State.

305.2     Public Information Procedures

          (A)  Major Discharges and Releases.   When the RRT is
              activated,  the Chairman shall designate a public
              information specialist  to serve as the Director
              of the incident Public  Information Office (PIO).
              The  Director may be  a  State employee  (see
              305.1(B) above), an EPA  employee, or a  member of
              the DSCG Public Information  Assistance Team  (see
              305.3).   Any RRT member may request to place a
              representative on  the Director's staff  to advise
              and  assist  the  Director.   The  OSC shall
              determine the  location  of the incident PIO.  At
              the  request  of  the  Director,   appropriate
              professional and  clerical  assistance will be
              provided by one  or more of the  RRT  agencies.
              The agency providing the OSC shall assure that
              the incident PIO has sufficient  spacer  equipment
              and supplies to function properly.  The Director
              shall:

              (1)  Coordinate   all  public  information
                   activities for the OSC and, upon special
                   request, for  other official visitors.

              (2)  Have free access to all meetings of the RRT
                   and consult  on the  possible non-Federal
                   reaction to  the  courses  of action being
                   considered by the  RRT.

              (3)  Coordinate all press  releases and other
                   items  of public information  with  the
                   appropriate  State RRT Representative for
                   the area  in  which  the  discharge  or release
                   has occurred.

              (4)  Assure that  the news  releases issued
                   accurately  describe   each   Agency's
                   contribution  to the response  effort.

              (5)  Coordinate  with   the  Scientific Support
                   Coordinator  regarding salesmen  and other
                   individuals having a commercial interest to
                   assure that  a proper evaluation of their
                   products can  be made.

          (B)  atJa£i_nis£liaj:3fi£_.and_.B£lfiAS££.   During  a
              pollution incident  for  which the RRT  is  not
              activated, the EPA staff will,  in cooperation
              with the  State RRT Representative,  provide
              appropriate public  information service.

305.3     Public Information  Assistance Te.am.   The United
         States Coast Guard Headquarters  in Washington, D.C.
         has established a Public Information Assistance Team
          (PIAT) (NCP,  Sec. 300.34(e)).  This team, available
         by request of the OSC, can provide  assistance  to the
         OSC and RRT  in  meeting  the  requirements for public
         information  during a  pollution indicent.   See  Annex
         II for additional information.

305.4     Community Relations Plans

          (A)  A Community Relations Plan must be developed for
              all response  actions  (except as  noted in  B
              below).    Such plans  must  specify  the
              communications activities  which  will  be
              undertaken during  the  response.  To the  extent
              possible,  the  RRT  shouvld be  involved  in  the
              development and implementation of the Plan.

          (B)  For  response actions to initiate prompt  short-
              term response, a formal plan is not required if
              plan development would delay an action to abate
              immediate  and  significant  threat  to public
              health  or  the environment.   In  such cases the
              procedures  regarding  public  information
              specified in 305.2 will be used.

          (C)  The  following techniques  may be used by the OSC
              to provide  the information needed  by the
              community affected:

              (1)  Updated briefings for local officials.

              (2)  Press briefings,  conferences,  or site
                  tours.

              (3)  Public  consultations:   face-to-face
                  informal  meetings with  small groups  of
                  interested  citizens,   perhaps   in  a
                  residence.

  400  PLANNED REMOVAL AND REMEDIAL ACTIONS (HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES)

401 DETERMINATION OF APPROPRIATE RESPONSE ACTION
    The  NCP  provides for  more extensive  investigation  of . an
    incident  to determine  appropriate  actions  (1)  upon  completion
    of  an immediate  removal action,  or (2)  when a preliminary
    assessment indicates that Fund-financed response  other than an
    immediate removal may  be necessary. Inspections should be
    performed jointly by the OSC and/or  State officials responsible
    for providing Fund-financed  response  and  those responsible  for
    enforcing legal  requirements.   The evaluation may include
    investigations,  monitoring,  surveys,   sampling  and  other
    information gathering  as  appropriate.   If  the  evaluation
    results in a determination that further immediate removal is
    required,  a request to initiate or  continue  immediate removal
    should  be  initiated as outlined in  Section 303.3 of this Plan.
    If  the  evaluation results in a determination  that planned
    removal  is appropriate, the  responding parties should proceed
    according to Section 402 of this  Plan.  If  the  evaluation
    results  in a determination  that the  State wishes  to submit  the
    site  for the National  Priorities List, the methods  outlined in
    Section  300.68 of the NCP should be  followed.

402 PLANNED REMOVAL  ACTIONS                *

    402.1     General.  (NCP, Section 300.67 (a)).   Planned Removals
              may be undertaken  pursuant  to  a  contract  or
              cooperative  agreement between EPA and the State when
              the lead agency, EPA or the State, determines that:

               (A)  There  would  be substantial  cost  savings  by
                  continuing a response action with  the equipment
                  and resources mobilized for an immediate removal
                  action; or

               (B)  The public and/or environment will  be at risk
                  from exposure  to   hazardous  substances  if
                  response is delayed at a release  not  on the
                  National  Priorities List.

    402.1     Initiation of Planned Removal Action

               (A)  The OSC  shall analyze the  removal options
                  available and prepare a cost estimate of each
                  option.

               (B)  A Planned Removal Action must be requested by
                  the Governor of the affected State or  his
                  designee. The written request to the Regional


                              4-1                   07/26/85

-------
              Administrator  must contain  assurance of the
              State's  willingness to participate in a specific
              planned removal action and intent to provide the
              minimum cost-share contribution  (NCP/ Section
              300.67(b)).

402.3     Lead Agency in  Planned Removal Action

          (A)  When  EPA  is the  lead  agency,  a Procurement
              Request Rationale  (14-Point  Document) must  be
              completed  before an approved Planned removal can
              proceed.

          (B)  When  the  affected State is the lead  agency,  a
              cooperative agreement covering  contractor
              procurement and types of documentation must  be
              negotiated between the affected State and EPA.

402.4     Funding Procedures.  (NCP,  Section  300.76(e)).   A
          planned  removal shall not continue after  $1 million
          dollars has  been obligated for response or six months
          has elapsed from  the  date  of initial  response
          (including  an immediate  removal  action)  to the
          release unless:

          (A)  Continued response actions are immediately
              required  to prevent,  limit or mitigate  an
              emergency.

          (B)  There is an immediate risk to public  health  or
              welfare or the  environment.

          (C)  Such  assistance will not otherwise  be provided
              on a  timely basis, obligations from  the Fund,
              other than those authorized by Section 1204(b)
              of  CERCLA.

402.5     Community Relations in Planned Removal Action. The
          OSC will  prepare a community relations plan for all
          planned  removals.  The plan will be developed after
          consultations with local officials  and other involved
          citizens.  After the planned  removal,  a  report  will
          be assembled by the OSC consisting  of a complete list
          of  community  relations  and  an evaluation  of the
          effectiveness  of the community relations program.
          The RRT should be  involved  in  the development and
          implementation  of the plan.
                          4-2                    07/26/85

-------
     402.6     RRT Involvement  in  Planned Removal Action.  Appro-
              priate RRT members should be involved in the planning
              and decision-making  process for  planned  removal
              actions in order to provide expertise that may-be
              available.  At a minimum, a briefing  for RRT members
              shall be  conducted  prior to initiating  a  planned
              removal action.

403   REMEDIAL ACTION

     403.1     General.  Remedial actions  are  those  responses to
              releases on the National Priorities List that are
              consistent with  permanent  remedy  to  prevent  or
              mitigate the migration  of  a release of  hazardous
              substance into  the  environment  (NCP/  Section
              300.68(a)).

     403.2     State's Role.   Fund-financed remedial  actions and the
              affected  State's participation  are  outlined  in
              Section  300.62 of the NCP.

     403.3     Preliminary Investigation.  The Remedial  Project
              Manager  (RPM)  and the State will  conduct preliminary
              investigations to determine  the  need  for  a remedial
              investigation and feasibility study. The preliminary
              assessment  will serve  as the  basis  for  the
              development of alternative remedial actions.

     403.4     Types of Remedial Actions

              (A)  Initial  remedial  measures  are actions that are
                  determined  feasible  and  necessary  to  limit
                  exposure  to  a  significant  health or
                  environmental hazard and  if such  measures are
                  cost-effective  (NCP, Section  300.68(e) (1)).

              (B)  £jQUj:c_e._c.oji.tj:o_l remedial  actions  may be
                  appropriate  if a  substantial  concentration of
                  hazardous substances remain at or near the area
                  where they  were  originally  located  and
                  inadequate barriers exist to  retard migration of
                  substances  into  the environment (NCP,  Section
                  300.68(e) (2)).

              (C)  Q_£.£j;.si£..£ remedial actions  to minimize  and
                  mitigate  the migration  of  hazardous  substances
                  and the effects of such migration  may be taken
                  when  the lead agency  determines  that  source
                  control  remedial action may  not  effectively


                              4-3                   07/26/85

-------
              mitigate  and minimize  the  threat  to public
              health, welfare,  or  the environment  (NCP,
              Section 300.68(e) (3)).

403.5     Remedial Investigation.  The remedial investigation
          will be performed by  the lead agency and  include
          sampling,  monitoring,  information gathering  and  a
          review of the preliminary  investigation.  The purpose
          of  the  remedial investigation  is to determine  the
          appropriate type of remedial action.

403.6     Methods of Remedying  Releases.  Section  300.70 of  the
          National Contingency Plan lists possible methods of
          remedying releases in taking  response actions.  Five
          methods are listed in this section:

          (A)  Engineering  Methods  for On-Site  Actions  -
              including  air emission  control, surface  water
              control, groundwater  controls, and contaminated
              water and sewer  lines.

          (B)  Treatment Technologies - including  gaseous
              emissions  treatment,  direct waste  treatment
              methods, and contaminated soils and sediments.

          (C)  Off-Site Transport  for Storage,  Treatment,
              Destruction  or  Secure Disposition -  including
              contaminated soils  and  sediments  removed from
              the site.

          (D)  Provisions  of Alternative Water  Supplies.

          (E)  Relocation.

403.7     Development of Alternatives.

          (A)  A number of alternative remedial actions will be
              developed based on the remedial investigation.

          (B)  Each alternative should be evaluated according
              to  cost,  effects  of the  alternative,  and
              acceptable  engineering practice.

          (C)  After  an  initial screening, the  remaining
              alternatives will  be  evaluated in more detail.

          (D)  The alternative selected will be determined by
              the lead agency based on cost-effectiveness.
                          4-4                    07/26/85

-------
403.8    Community ReJ^fttions in Remedial Actions.  Community
         relation activities can be divided into seven stages
         corresponding  to the technical activities  in  the
         remedial action process:

         (A)  Evaluation of Appropriate Response.

         (B)  Determination of Appropriate Response - Remedial
              Actions.

         (C)  Remedial Investigation  through Development of
              Alternative Steps.

         (D)  Selection  of  the  Most  Cost-Effective
              Alternative.

         (E)  Design Remedial Action.

         (F)  Implement  Remedy.

         (G)  Monitoring and Documentation.

         These  community  relations  activities will  be
         developed and implemented by the EPA Regional Office.

403.9    RRT Involvement in Remedial Actions.  For remedial
         actions the RRT may not need to be activated or  may
         need to be partially activated or have available only
         those  members  who are directly  affected  or  can
         provide  direct response assistance  (NCP,  Section
         300.34(f)(4)).

            500 USE OF DISPERSANTS AND OTHER CHEMICALS

Annex XIII contains the EPA Acceptance List of dispersants and other
chemicals at the time of writing this Plan.  EPA  will continue to
review products for inclusion on this list.  In Region VIII, the OSC
with the concurrence of the EPA Representative on the RRT and in
consultation with the State RRT Representative (or  his designee) may
authorize the use  of dispersants and  other chemicals  from this
Acceptance List for response to oil discharges on  a case-by-case
basis.

6.6  FUNDING CAPABILITIES

     The Department of Health has authority to issue an Emergency
     Order for  spill cleanup which, if ignored by responsible party,
     allows the Department  to take  actions to contain,  mitigate and
     remove the spill.  The Department will  then charge back  to the
     responsible  party  all costs associated with  such  action.  The
     Director of the Department  of the Department of  Health can also
     seek funds from the State Legislature.

         appropriate reference to the CERCLA instead of the CWA and
         appropriate reference to hazardous  substance releases
         instead of oil discharges.

10.3 SAMPLE COLLECTION

     (A)  Sa.JDCle.jS.   Several  precautions  must  be taken when
         collecting and handling samples.  The value of any sample
         may  be diminished by such things as  the composition and
         cleanliness of  the  container,  the  manner in which the
         sample  is taken, the sample size and custodial  control.
         Material  sampling is to be done only  when the  material  is
         known to  be non-toxic  or  after adequate  personnel
         protective measures  have been taken.

          (1)  Containers

               (a)  Glass  or  other  appropriate containers   of
                   adequate size shall be  used. The container, lid
                   liner  and seal must  be compatible with the
                   sampled material.   (Most plastic  containers have
                   been  found to  absorb organic materials  or
                   dissolve portions  of the plastic container wall
                   into the sample, contaminating  the sample.)

               (b)  For oil or hydrocarbon samples the lid liner
                   should be  glass, aluminum foil  or Teflon.

               (c)  Unused containers are preferred.   However,
                   containers  may  be  reused  if properly cleaned
                   and/or  prepared.

                              SAMPLE

         NOTICE OF FEDERAL INTEREST  IN A POLLUTION INCIDENT

Gentlemen:

This is to  inform  you  that a pollution  incident has occurred or
threatens to occur at (vessel/facility) located at (location/body of
water), for  which you may be  financially responsible.   Under Federal
statutes, the  United States Government  has an  interest  in this
incident  and may take appropriate  action  to  minimize  damages which
are threatened or which may be caused by this incident.

The discharge of a prohibited quantity of oil or hazardous substance
is a violation of the Clean Water Act, as amended.  Under this act,
the owner or operator of the source may undertake removal action.
If he refuses  to take adequate  removal action, he may  be held
financially responsible for action  taken  by  the  Federal  Government
to  remove   the  pollutant  and adequately  mitigate  its effects.
Removal  is  being done properly if it  is done  in accordance with
Federal  and State statutes  and  regulations and the criteria of the
National  Oil  and  Hazardous  Substances Pollution  Contingency Plan.
If you undertake  removal  action, the adequacy of  such action shall
be determined by the Federal On-Scene  Coordinator.   The On-Scene
Coordinator  for  this  area is  (name).

So long as  you are taking adequate  actions in this matter,  Federal
action will  be  limited to monitoring of the progress of your actions
and provision of guidance as necessary.

If it is determined  that you are not taking  prompt and appropriate
action to clean up, contain, and remove the pollutant(s),  Federal
response may be initiated.  You may then be held responsible for
actual costs  incurred by the Federal Government as set forth in
Section 311(f)  of the  Clean Water Act,  as amended.  Should  you
require  further  information concerning this  matter, please  contact:
(name, address, and telephone number of OSC).

                                 Sincerely,
                                       (OSC or representative)

                              SAMPLE

         NOTICE OF FEDERAL ASSUMPTION OF RESPONSE ACTIVITY

Gentlemen:

My letter of (date) notified you of Federal interest in an actual or
potential  pollution  incident  at  (vessel/facility)  located  at
(location/body of water),  for  which you are presently  considered
financially responsible.

You are hereby given notice that your actions to abate this threat
and to remove the pollutant(s), and mitigate  (its/their)  effects
have been  evaluated as improper by the (Federal Agency) On-Scene
Coordinator, (name).  Effective  (date/time), the (Federal  Agency)
will conduct all response activities under the authority of Section
311(c)(l) of the Clean Water Act, as amended (33 U.S.C. 1321(c)(l)).
Removal  will be effected  in accordance with the criteria of the
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan and
Federal regulations.   You will  then be billed for all actual costs
incurred by the Federal Government, as set forth in Section 311(f)
of the Clean Water Act.

Should you  require further information  concerning this matter,  you
should contact:   (name, address, and telephone number  of OSC).

                                 Sincerely,
                                       (OSC or representative)
Received and  acknowledged,
(Name of addressee),  (date/time)

-------
(2)   Sample Collection

     (a)  Because  pollution conditions can change rapidly,
         periodic samples should  be  taken to document
         event progression.   Sampling time  sequence and
         locations  are  to  be stated concisely on the
         sample tag  and  on any field notes pertaining to
         the discharge event.

     (b)  For qualitative analysis, it  is desirable to
         take a large sample of the pollutant.   (Proper
         skimming techniques should be  used to obtain a
         sufficient  amount of a floating contaminate.)

     (c)  Pollutants other than oil may require special
         handling or preservation  procedures.   The
         laboratory to  perform the analysis should be
         consulted whenever  a question arises concerning
         preservation,  retention  times,   handling
         techniques, etc. Laboratory personnel  should be
         notified as to  when sample will be received for
         analysis.

     (d)  For personnel  safety, ctirect contact with the
         material being collected  is  to  be  avoided.
         Contact can be avoided by using a string tied to
         the sample  jar, a tongue depressor  to scrape a
         sample  off a  rock  or piling,  use of Teflon
         strips, or  by  wearing a protective glove when
         taking  a sample.   Using  a  ladle  to  collect
         samples  in  the  field is permitted  providing new
         ladles  are used for  successive  samples, thus
         preventing  any  cross contamination.

     (e)  A minimum of three  samples should  be taken at
         appropriate times:   upstream from  the discharge,
         at the alleged source, and downstream from the
         discharge.   Samples should be taken  from all
         possible sources in the area.

(3)   Chain of Custody

     Sample  legality is determined, in part,  by proof of
     an unbroken chain of custody  which  begins with the
     sample  collection and extends unbroken  through the
     ultimate sample  disposition.
                    X-5                   07/26/85

-------
(a)  A tag is to be  filled out immediately after the
    sample  is  collected and attached  to  the sample
    container.   Sample tags  should have a reinforced
    grommet through which a string may be led.  The
    tag  is to  be  securely  tied  to the  sample
    container,  underneath  the  cap.   Prior  to
    shipping/  a piece of tape,  of sufficient width
    to cover the side of the cap and the grommet of
    the tag, is to  be wrapped around the cap of the
    container with  a one inch  over-lap.  On the tag,
    the sampler records,  as a minimum, sample date,
    time  and  location, field measurements taken,
    preservatives  added,   witnesses  to  the
    collection, and any other  pertinent information.

(b)  In the  field,  the  investigator  should  maintain
    the  samples in  his custody and  within  view
    whenever  possible.  During the  course of an
    investigation  it is not always practicable or
    possible  to carry around  previously taken
    samples.  If the investigator finds it necessary
    to  leave  the  samples,  the  bottles  may  be
    temporarily locked  in a  vehicle, provided:

     (1)  the  keys to   the  vehicle are   in  the
         possession of the  investigator (s)  and are
         not given to  anyone  else during  this
         period;

     (2)  the vehicle is opened and aired out and the
         samples transferred  to an  open area (i.e.,
         out of the  trunk) prior  to starting the
         vehicle;

     (3)  the nature of the  case makes it unlikely
         that someone would want to break into the
         automobile to  tamper  with the samples; and,

     (4)  the samples are removed from the vehicle
         once the vehicle or investigator returns to
         an operational  base.

(c)  Samples should  be hand delivered to  an approved
    analytical lab by the sampling  personnel  or
    special courier or be sent  by registered mail,
    return  receipt requested.   Sample  tags  must
    show,  by  signature and date,  all  custody
    transfers.   Samples may  be sent  to the Field Oil
    Analysis Lab (FOIL)  in St. Lous, Missouri at the
    direction of EPA or the  DSCG.

-------
               (d)  The sample tags must  remain attached  to the
                   sample until analysis is complete.   Afterwards,
                   the tag remains with the  official copy of the
                   analytical results.   The  remaining portions of
                   the samples are retained in a  custody-controTled
                   area or disposed of according  to  requirements of
                   the case.

10.4 PHOTOGRAPHS.

     During each stage of the mitigation/  cleanup and  disposal
     operations, photographs should  be  taken to show the   source of
     the pollutant, the path and/or extent of the  pollution, and the
     progress being made relevant  to the  cleanup efforts undertaken.
     If possible, pictures should be of the  non-self developing type
     to  allow  clear,  sharp  reproduction at  a  later  time.   The
     following information should be recorded on the back of each
     photographic print:

     (A)  The subject and location of the picture.

     (B)  The date and time the photo was taken.

     (C)  The name of the photographer  and  the  witness who observed
         the photographs being taken.

     (D)  The shutter speed and aperture  setting  on the camera used
         (if possible).

     (E)  The type of film used and  any pertinent details  regarding
         the film processing.

     (F)  Location of negatives.

     If appropriate, for  clarity, highlight subject matter with a
     permanent  ink  of a  contrasting  color  on the  face of  the
     photograph.

10.5 WITNESS STATEMENTS

     The  ideal  statement is written  in  the  witness1 own handwriting.
     It  should include:   his/her name,  a description  of his/her
     employment, his/her  location at  the time of the incident.
     Often  it is  impossible to obtain a written statement due to
     reluctance on the part of the witness.  When this occurs, the
     investigator should transcribe the statements and answers to
     questions  given by the witness and have  the witness sign it.
     If the witness  refuses to sign, the investigator  should ^check
     the  accuracy of his  notes with the witness  in the  presence of

                              X-7                    07/26/85

-------
     another investigator or a person willing to attest  to  the
     statement(s) of the witnes being questioned.  For the purpose
     of witness information, to "verify" is to check  the accuracy of
     the investigator's notes with the witness;  to  have  the notes
     "attested"  is to  have another investigator or  person present
     who will observe  the  taking  of the statement and confirm that
     the written  notes accurately  reflect what the witness has said.
     The  following is the order of preference  for   witness1
     information:

     (A)  Handwritten and signed statement.

     (B)  Attested  notes of  the investigator's interview  signed by
          the witness.

     (C)  Verfied  and  attested  notes  of  the investigator's
          interview.

     (D)  Verified (unattested)  notes  of  the investigator's
          interview.

     (E)  Unverified and unattested notes.

10.6 WRITTEN REPORTS

     Reports prepared  by investigators should always be written as
     first-person narratives, such as:

          "On (day, date and time),  I saw (material or  material
          description)  coming from (location) going via (flow path)
          and entering  (name of water body)  or  depositing  on  (name
          of shoreline).  I saw (type of environmental damage,  i.e.,
          sheen  on the water, fish dying,  etc.).  I  saw (number of
          individuals) doing (type  of activity,  i.e.,   emptying
          drums,  placing containment devices, trying to  clean-up,
          etc.) and so on."
                              X-8                   07/26/85

                            ANNEX XI

        CONTAINMENT CQUNTERMEASURE AND CLEANUP TECHNIQUES

11.1 POLICY.

     It  is the policy of the RRT to attempt mechanical recovery of
     all oil discharges or hazardous substances  releases to the
     greatest extent possible.  Dispersants and  chemical agents are
     to  be used only after OSC  approval  in  those cases  where
     mechanical removal is not  feasible.   These  dispersants and
     chemical agents must be approved by EPA and, further, the OSC
     will  consult with the State  before authorizing their  use.  The
     EPA acceptance list for dispersants and  chemical  agents is
     contained in Annex  XIII.  Removal is always performed with the
     intent of re-use of the recovered material.  When re-use is not
     practical,  the development of a  stable,  or easily  bio-
     degradable end  product is emphasized.

11.2 RESPONSE AND CLEANUP TECHNIQUES.

     Due to the nature of spill incidents,  several  of the following
     activities may  occur simultaneously.

11.2.1    Identification.  Appropriate  containment, removal and
         disposal of spilled substances can only be accomplished
         after  the  substance  has been  positively identified.
         Identification can be accomplished by several  processes
         such as:

          (A)  Examination of shipping manifests.

          (B)  If shipping manifests are  not  available, contact the
              shipper for appropriate material  information.

          (C)  Notation of the type of conveyance such  as  tank
              truck, box cars,  tank  cars, etc.,  along  with any
              exterior placards or container labels,  type  of
              packaging (55 gallon drum, 50 pound bag, etc.) and
              the physical state  (solid, liquid,  fuming liquid,
              gas,  etc.) of the material.

          (D)  Sampling and  testing of the  material,  using any
              available equipment such as pH meters,  Hach  test
              kits,  etc.,  should be performed  and the  results
              correlated  with  the information obtained  in "Cn
              above.
                              XI-1                   07/26/85

-------
          (E)  If a professional laboratory is nearby,  samples  can
              be submitted for  analytical  identification.

          (F)  If  the above actions do  not  provide  positive
              identification, contact the RRT for assistance.

          (G)  Samples can also  be  sent to  the Coast Guard FOIL  lab
              in St. Louis.

11.2.2     Location.  The  physical location  of the spilled substance
          will greatly affect the  general  approach to containment
          and the removal activities which follow.

          (A)  On Land.  Spills occurring  on land may be contained
              or  isolated by  employing physical  flow barriers.
              These  include,  but are  not  limited to,  use  of
              trenches,  dikes or berms, or  diversion and deflection
              items  such as  poles,  planking,  etc. to  impound  or
              divert the flow  of  material to a temporary holding
              area.  Dry materials may be  covered with a tarpaulin
              or  sheets of plastic  to prevent disturbance  and
              dispersion by wind or rain.

          (B)  On Water.   Substances which float on  the water can be
              contained with booms made  with material such as hay,
              straw,  log,  plastic,   rubber or  special sorbent
              materials or a  specially  constructed barrier  to
              surface flow. The basic problem associated with boom
              containment may be the compatability  of the boom with
              the hazardous substance. Many substances which float
              on water  can exhibit a solvent action  on some boom
              material and could actually  dissolve  the containment
              device before cleanup can  be affected.

          (C)  Water Soluble.    Hazardous  substances releases which
              dissolve  in or become  suspended  throughout the water
              column are  some of the  most difficult  spills  to
              contain.  Containment, if possible,  usually involves
              the  total isolation,  immobilization,  removal  or
              filtration of the affected water body.

          (D)  fi£a.2i..£iL_I.h,aji_w..a±..ej:.   Substances  with  densities
              greater than water  will  be located at or near  the
              stream bed.   Containing  such  spills requires locating
              the  substance   and determining the  total area
              contaminated  by the  substance.  Containment involves
              isolation of the material by sealed booms,  siphon
              dam, subsurface  damming,  trenching, or  subsurface
              diversion of the migrating material to  stream  bed
              depressions,  quiescent or back water  areas.

                               XI-2                  07/26/85

-------
          (E)  In Air.   Containment of gaseous discharges can be
              extremely difficult  if not  impossible.   Gaseous
              materials having densities  greater  than  air will
              normally flow along  the  ground  surface  and
              concentrate  in depressions.  Those whose density is
              less than air  will  quickly disperse  upward and
              outward.

11.2.3    Containment.  After  identifying and locating the spill,
         the necessity for  and feasibility  of effective containment
         can be assessed.  Containment must be  initiated as soon as
         possible to prevent  undue  spreading of the  area of
         contamination.

         The  first action  should  be the elimination  of any
         additional spillage.  This may be accomplished by shutting
         off a pump or  valve, placing a cap or a plastic  or epoxy
         patch over  the  leak,  shoving  a temporary plug in a
         puncture or  tear, uprighting an overturned container or
         other appropriate action.

         Given  enough  leadtime, commercial containment  equipment
         can  be found  and  utilized, however, expedient and
         innovative use of materials at hand, as explained below
         and depicted in Figures  XI,  1-6, can significantly reduce
         the spread of contamination.  Containment  techniques and
         equipment  include, but are not limited to:

          (A)  Trenching and  Diking.   This technique consists of
              digging a trench and/or  establishing an  earthen dike
              .to contain  or divert  a  liquid  substance  to  a
              temporary basin or to isolate a containment  area from
              precipitation runoff.

          (B)  Siphon  Dam.   For use  in the control  of  floating
              contaminates, an  earthen dam is constructed  across a
              water channel.  The dam is  perforated with one or
              more pieces  of inclined pipe or  T-sections which
              allow water  to pass through the dam while retaining
              the spilled  substance.  The pipe size and/or number
              must  be sized for anticipated stream flow.   See Annex
              XII.

          (C)  £il£ej:_F_£Ji££..£.    These  are used  primarily  in
              controlling  the migration of floating  substances in
              ditches and  streams  where the water depth does not
              exceed  four feet.    Filter fences  are  easily
              constructed  using  steel fence posts spaced  at 8-10
              foot  intervals across the drainage.  Hardware cloth,


                             XI-3                  07/26/85

-------
    chicken  or  hog  wire  or  chain  link fencing is then
    tied to the  posts, leaving at least one  foot of wire
    above  the water level as free board, and the ends
    securely anchored at each bank.   Hay  or straw (to a
    depth of six inches)  or commercial sorbents  (to cover
    the  water  surface)  are  spread cross the  width  of
    drainage and upstream for at least 10-15 feet.  Hay
    tends  to saturate quickly  and  sink, and  must  be
    changed  frequently.    Entrained  or  dissolved
    substances  can be  contained and/or  removed  by
    replacing the floating sorbents with bags or bales of
    filter  media  (peat  moss,  activated  carbon,
    diatomaceous earths,  etc.).   This  approach can
    significantly  reduce  downstream  contaminate
    concentrations  in the affected water body.  Filter
    fences  are  most effective when used in  series  of
    three or more with adequate  work space between each.
    Filter  fences require  constant attention  so that
    saturated sorbent can be removed and replaced with
    fresh sorbent.

(D)  Booms.  These flow barriers  are deployed in a lake,
    across a stream  or ditch, along shorelines,  or around
    a leaking vessel.  The boom  consists  of a flotation
    collar and  a weighted  skirt.  Specialized  booms
    having a skirt capable of reaching  the stream bed are
    commercially available and are referred  to as sealed
    booms.   A boom can be  easily constructed using bales
    of  hay or  straw, logs, or  pieces of  lumber with
    plastic  sheeting weighted with fishing sinkers, etc.
    and rope. The rope is used to  lash the boom  together
    as  well as  to  secure the boom  during  deployment.
    This technique is effective for  spills floating on
    the  water or, in  case of sealed  booms,  dissolved,
    dispersed or heavier than water substances.   Booms do
    not function well  in stream currents greater than two
    knots or in the  presence of  debris or ice.   Maximum
    efficiency is obtained by deploying booms as  depicted
    Figures XI,  1-3.

(E)  Water Sprays.  This technique consists of fine water
    sprays, such as  those  generated by firehose  nozzles,
    preferrably coupled  with foaming  agent  directed in,
    over or through  fume  or gas clouds.  The  water
    flushes the substance from the  air and the foam forms
    a vapor  barrier as the material  collects  on  the
    ground.  This technique is  effective on spills  of
    gases  and fuming liquids.   Containment  for the
    material  (water, foam and  pollutant)  must  be
    provided.

                    XI-4                  07/26/85

-------
          (F)  Stream Diversion or  Impoundment.   This  technique
              consists of excavating a new stream channel around
              the contaminated area with the construction of dams
              above  and below the  spill  area to  divert  the
              uncontaminated water through the new channel or by
              use of Crisifoli type pumps and irrigation pipes or
              culverts.  A large  lead  time  is  required for this
              technique.

          (G)  Gelling and Chemical Agents.  These materials effect
              containment or removal by combining with the spilled
              substance to form:

              1)    a  semi-solid gel;

              2)    an emulsion soluble in  water allowing the spill
                   to disperse throughout the water  column; or,

              3)    an alteration of surface tension  driving  the
                   spilled material together to prevent spreading.

              Use of these agents  must  be approved by the OSC and
              the State representative  to the RRT.

          (H)  Air Flow and Bubble Dams.  These techniques have been
              used with  success  in diverting  and channelizing
              contaminants in  stream channels.    Intake  structures
              can be protected by  providing an air  flow  from a
              compressor, until a more permanent  barrier can be
              erected.   Also, contaminants can  be  herded  for
              collection  using these techniques.   The SSC should be
              able to provide guidance to the OSC in use of these
              techniques.

11.2.4    Removal.  Once  the  substance has been contained,  removal
         can begin.  Removal techniques can be  divided into  two
         general  classes:  mechanical   and physical-chemical.   In
         many spill situations, techniques from each class may be
         used simultaneously or in conjunction.

          (A)  Mechanical Removal.    These  techniques  are  quite
              effective  in  spills involving floating  substances,
              substances heavier than  water and spills on  land.
              Equipment and techniques  employed must be compatible
              with the substance's physical characteristics such as
              flammability, corrosiveness, ability to be pumped,
              solvent action, etc.  These characteristics  along
              with the  substance's  toxicity  will  govern  the
              protective clothing and  equipment required by  the


                              XI-5                  07/26/85

-------
individuals working  in the spill area to adequately
protect  their  health and  insure safety.   Mechanical
removal  devices and techniques include:

1)    Skimmers.  These devices  are designated to take
     in  a  floating  substance  off  the surface  of
     water.  They can be used  in conjunction with
     suction/discharge pumps and  require  a holding
     tank  to contain the  removed  substance.  Units
     are available as vacuum trucks which contain all
     necessary components.
    2)   SjQ.rJaejit.s.    These  materials are  manually
         distributed  over  the  spill and  manually
         collected once they have absorbed the substance.
         The most  commonly used sorbents  are  hay and
         straw.  Commercial  sorbents  are available in
         bags/ pads and boom  structures/ however/ these
         materials have been treated  to repel water/ a
         polar  compound/   and  may be  ineffective for
         certain  substances  exhibiting similar polar
         characteristics.

    3)   ELt.fid.3.iiicu.«    This technique is  similar  to
         skimming  except   removal  occurs  under water
         rather than at the surface.  Suction heads or
         nozzles/ pumps and  holding tanks  make up the
         dredge unit.  This technique is effective for
         substances heavier than water.

(B)  Physical-Chemical Removal.  This technique takes
    advantage of the physical and chemical  characteris-
    tics  of the  substance  to remove or render the
    material  inactive  (i.e.  make  insoluble/  make bio-
    degradable/  de-toxify/  etc.).   Physical-chemical
    removal requires  laboratory services to  monitor
    initial spill  concentrations during  the  various
    stages  of  removal  and final concentrations.  This
    monitoring assures that the desired result has been
    achieved  and  allows adjustments to be  made in the
    removal operations  to  maximize  the effectiveness of
    the removal operations.  Physical-chemical treatment
    techniques and devices include/  but are not  limited
    to:

    1)
     A££i.y.AJt..£d._£a.£.J}an.   This  material  has  the
     capacity to adsorb a wide range of substances.
     Packages of activated  carbon can be  used  to
     construct filter fences/ allowed to float in the


                XI-6                  07/26/85

-------
    contaminated area or used as a filter  column
    through which the contaminated water is passed
    to remove the contaminating substance.

2)   Neutralization.   This process  involves  the
    addition  of mild caustic material to acid spills
    or mild acids to caustic spills.  Occasionally a
    precipitant will form from the reaction.  This
    precipitant should  be removed.   Empirical
    formulas  for the  spilled material and treating
    agents will provide the necessary information
    regarding volume of  treating agent  needed  to
    neutralize the spill.

3)   Physical/Chemical Treatment.   These  methods
    range from  simple  carbon  adsorption,   as
    described above,  through complex mixed batch or
    flow through  treatment  schemes.   Complex
    treatment systems usually require removal and
    storage  of  the contaminated water.   Various
    adjustments and refinements, base on chemical
    tests  of the  effluent for  desired  treatment
    efficiency,  must be  made.   An  excellent
    reference for more specdfic  treatment  schemes
    may be found in an EPA report titled "Manual for
    the  Control of  Hazardous  Material Spills";
    Volume I-Spill Assessment and Water Treatment
    Techniques.",   EPA-600/2-77-227.   Commercial
    physical-chemical treatment units are available.
    These  include  activated carbon  units,  ion-
    exchange  resin  columns,  diatomaceous  earth
    filtration units,   oxidation-reduction,
    neutralization or flocculation units.   All of
    these items may be  used  singularly or  in
    conjunction with each other to effect removal.
    Sound chemical  knowledge  or expertise  is
    required  to  establish and   operate  effective
    treatment units  such as these.   As  mentioned
    above, analytical laboratory capabilities must
    be available for pre-testing, intermediate phase
    testing and unit effluent testing  to assure that
    the  desired removal  performance  has been
    accomplished.

4)   Packaged^Treatment  Units•   Several  mobile
    treatment units have  been developed in recent
    years. The  cost and time required to bring any
    of  these  units  on-scene  requires  total
    containment of the spill as well as an inability

                   to develop a treatment process with available
                   materials.  More  information regarding these
                   units and their availability can be obtained
                   from the  Regional Response Center.

                   treatment  system  can  be  developed  using
                   available  materials..  Containment  can be
                   achieved with empty  tank trucks, pre-fabricated
                   swimming pools  available from department stores
                   or,  if  necessary, clarifiers  at a treatment
                   plant.   Neutralizing agents  in  the  form of
                   vinegar, lye etc. are commercially available.
                   Hospitals,  refineries,  and chemical  supply
                   companies can  provide these as  well  as more
                   sophisticated  chemicals  in  less time  usually
                   than a packaged treatment unit can be obtained.
                   Mixers, stirrers, etc., can  be fabricated from
                   pipe, lumber and electric motors.  The motors
                   and generators can  be obtained through local
                   rental agencies.

11.2.5    Disposal.   The final  operations in  spill  response and
         cleanup  is the  disposal  of the collected materials.  Any
         plan for disposal must be coordinated  through the  OSC and
         the State Representative.  Methods for  disposal include:

          (A)  Recycling  recovered materials  to nearby refineries,
              refiners or waste  recovery plants.

          (B)  Land farming of oil which  entails spreading a thin
              layer of the oil or oily  waste  over a land area,
              tilling  the  oil  into  the  soil,  seeding  and
              fertilizing the area with nitrogen fixing grasses and
              fertilizers to promote the growth of soil organisms
              which  then break down the oil.  This method of
              disposal requires  extensive  participation by the
              State and Soil Conservation Service as  well  as long
              term monitoring to assure that  the oil or oily waste
              is being sufficiently broken down.

          (C)  Land filling which entails  disposing of the material
              at an approved landfill site.   Procedures and sites
              available will be designated by the appropriate State
              agency as provided in Annex IV  of  this  Part.

          (D)  Burning  may be performed after  obtaining permission
              to burn  from the appropriate State  air pollution
              control  agency listed  in Annex  IV.


                              XI-8                  07/26/85

-------
          (E)  Permanent  disposal  for  designated  hazardous
              substances (40 CFR Part 116  and  117)  shall be  in
              accordance with all RCRA  regulations.

11.3 SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS.

     Certain precautions must be taken during each spill incident to
     adequately assure protection  of  certain  areas  not  previously
     addressed.  These areas  include:

     (A)  Groundwater Contamination.   Since many individuals and
         municipalities in Region VIII  utilize groundwater aquifers
         as a source for their drinking water supply every effort
         should  be  made  to prevent oil  or hazardous  substance
         spills  from migrating into these underground  aquifers.
         Such  protection  may  necessitate  drilling  test wells
         adjacent to the  spill site to test the  groundwater
         assuring that contamination  has not occurred.   If  the
         spilled  substance  should enter  the groundwaterf  several
         methods  are  available to remove the material.  The methods
         described below and depicted in Figures  XI, 7-9 include:

         1)   Trenching.  This method is effective in areas having
              shallow groundwater tables.  A trench  is excavated
              across  the plane of groundwater  flow at a sufficient
              distance  downstream of  the zone  of contamination
              plume in  the  groundwater.  An impermeable  barrier
              (plastic/  bentonite,  etc.)  is  placed  on  the
              downstream side of the  trench  (see Figure  VII  and
              VIII).  The contaminated groundwater  is allowed to
              collect in the trench and the pollutant  is removed by
              the most appropriate method discussed  earlier.

         2)   Withdrawal Wells.  This method  is effective in areas
              having  deep groundwater  tables and areas  where  soil
              characteristics preclude trenching.   One  or  more
              wells are  sunk  in   or  around  the  area  of
              contamination.   The  contaminated  groundwater  is
              pumped from the well or wells and treated by the most
              appropriate  method discussed earlier.   As the
              contaminated  water is removed, a cone of depression
              (see Figure XI-9), is created providing containment
              of  the polluting  substance.  An alternate  method,
              effective for substances  floating on  the water
              surface uses  a skimming device in  the well.  The
              contaminated  groundwater allowed  to collect in the
              well and the floating contaminant is  skimmed from the
              surface of the groundwater, pumped  to surface storage
              and recovered or disposed of as discussed earlier.


                              XI-9                   07/26/85

-------
     3)   fiijO_rd.£s.c.Aila..ti£ii.   This method is  still in  the
         research  phase but  field  tests  in  actual  spill
         situations  have proven the method  to be highly
         effective.   Specific  micro-organisms are  injected
         into the area of contamination.   The micro-organisms
         use  the contaminant  as  nutrients for growth  and
         reproduction.   The  organisms  move with  the
         contaminant  and  consume  it.   Once the  contaminant is
         removed, the organisms die off.  Major  problems  still
         to  be  resolved  are the slimes created  when  the
         organisms die, and taste and  odor problems in water
         caused  by the activities  and death of the  organisms.
         Use of  this  method must have OSC approval.

     Further  information  relating  to  spills affecting
     groundwater  may be found in the  National Fire Protection
     Association  Phamphlet  #329  entitled  Underground Leakage
     of  Flammable & Combustible Liquids 1972 and EPA publica-
     tions  numbered  EPA-580/9-79-017 and  018 entitled A.
     Guidance for  Protection of Groundwater Resources from the
     Effects of  Accidental Spills of Hydrocarbons  and  other
     Hazardous Substances and Methods  of  Detecting and Dealing
     with Surface  Spills  of  Contaminants which may Degrade
     Underground  Water Sources for Public Water Systems.

(B)   Transportation of Hazardous Substances Waste.   In  order
     to  minimize the  spread of  environmental  contamination
     during transportation of spill  waste to disposal sites,
     every effort should be made to assure that  whatever means
     of  shipment is employed will not result  in leakage of
     material during  transportation  and that adequate covers
     are placed  over  the materials  to prevent wind induced
     spreading of the material.  The  transportation  of  spill
     waste   is  regulated  under  RCRA.   Each generator,
     transporter, and  disposal  facility must register with EPA
     under RCRA.   A series of  waste manifest  tracks the  waste
     from "cradle to  grave".    The OSC can obtain  a list of
     approval haulers  and  disposal  sites,  as well  as a
     temporary hauling permit in a spill incident.

(C)   Oil and Hazardous Substances Debris.   Should be collected
     and stored  in a  lined storage areas so that the spilled
     substance can drip off of the debris and be recovered to
     the largest  extent possible.
