POLLUTION CONTINGENCY PLAN
100 INTRODUCTION
101 Authority
101.1 This Regional Oil and Hazardous Substances Contigency Plan
has been developed in compliance with the National Oil and Hazardous
Substances Contingency Plan and the Federal Water Pollution Control
Act, as amended (33 USC 1151, et. seq.).
102 Purpose and Objectives
102.1 This Plan (including the Annexes) provides a pattern of co-
ordinated and intergrated response by Departments and Agencies of the
Federal Government to protect the environment from the damaging effects
of pollution spills. It also promotes the coordination and direction
of Federal, State and local response systems and encourages the develop-
ment of local government and private capabilities to handle such pollution
spills.
102.2 The objectives of this plan are: to develop appropriate pre-
ventive and preparedness measures and effective systems for discovering
and reporting the existence of a pollution spill; to institute,
promptly, measures to restrict the further spread of the pollutant;
to assure that the public health and welfare are provided adequate
protection; to apply techniques to cleanup and dispose of the collected
pollutants; and to institute actions to recover cleanup costs and to
effect enforcement of existing Federal statutes. Detailed guidance to-
ward the accomplishment of these objectives is contained in the basic
Plan, the Annexes, and the Sub-Regional Plans.
103 Scope
103.1 This plan is for the inland waters, their tributaries, and
adjoining shorelines located within the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) Region X which includes the states of Alaska, Washington, Oregon
and Idaho. Greater emphasis is placed on those waters used to transport
larger qualities of oil or other hazardous materials. Within Region X,
two major Sub-Regional areas are defined as (a) Alaska and (b) that
portion of the Region consisting of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. The
USCG will be responsible for developing a Contingency Plan for all coastal
and estuarine waters, including Puget Sound, the Columbia River to Bonne-
ville Dam, and the Willamette River to Willamette Falls (RM 26.6).
-------
103.2 The provisions of this Regional Multi-Agency Oil and Hazardous
Substances Contingency Plan are applicable to all Federal Agencies.
Implementation of the Plan will be within the framework of the National
Multi-Agency Oil and Hazardous Substances Contingency Plan and will be
compatible and complementary to currently effective joint International
contingency plans, assistance plans, agreements, security regulations,
and responsibilities based upon Federal statutes and executive orders.

12 miles seaward from the baseline where the territorial sea begins.
105.5 Discharge - includes, but is not limited to, any spillage, leak-
ing, pumping, pouring, emitting, emptying, or dumping.
105.6 Hazardous Polluting Substance - is matter of any description or
origin other than oil which, when discharged into any waters in quantities,
presents an imminent and substantial hazard to the public health or wel-
fare, including finfish, shellfish, or other wildlife, and shorelines and
beaches, or threatens to lower the water quality below the criteria of
the applicable water quality standards.
105.7 Inland Waters - generally are those navigable fresh waters up-
stream from the coastal waters (see Annex IV, Part 1490).
105.8 Major Disaster - is any flood, drought, fire, hurricane, earth-
quake, storm or other catastrophe in any part of the United States which,
in the determination of the President, is or threatens to become of suf-
ficient severity and magnitude to warrant disaster assistance by the
Federal Government to supplement the effort and available resources of
State and local governments in alleviating damage, hardship, or suffering.
105.9 Major Spill - is a spill of oil of more than 10,000 gallons in
the inland waters or more that 100,000 gallons in the coastal waters or

of Defense, Department of the Interior, Department of Transportation, and
the Environmental Protection Agency.
105.15 Public Health or Welfare - includes consideration of all factors
affecting the health and welfare of man, including but not limited to,
human health, the natural environmen, fish, shellfish, wildlife, and
public and private property, shorelines, and beaches.
105.16 Remove or Removal - is the removal of oil or hazardous polluting
substance from the water and shorelines or the taking of such other actions
as may be necessary to minimize or mitigate damage to the public health or
welfare.
200 POLICY AND RESPONSIBILITY
201.1 Federal Policy The Congress has declared that it is the policy
of the United States that there should be no discharge of oil into or
upon the navigable waters of the United States, adjoining shorelines, or
into or upon the waters of the Contiguous Zone (Sec. 11(b)(1) of the
Act). It must also be emphasized that this Nation, in November 1970,
announced a goal of no intentional discharges of oil from tankers arid
other vessels to the seas by mid-decade.
201.2 The primary thrust of this Plan is to provide a Federal response
capability at the Regional level. The OSC shall determine if the person
responsible for the discharge of oil or hazardous polluting substances
has reported the discharge in accordance with Section 11 (b)(4) or Section
12(c) of the Act, or in accordance with regulations promulgated under the
Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act, and is taking adequate action to remove
the pollutant or adequately mitigate its effects. The OSC should, if
practicable, insure that the person responsible for the spill is aware
of his responsibility and is encouraged to undertake necessary counter-
measures. When such person is taking adequate action, the principle thrust
of Federal activities shall be to observe and monitor progress and to pro-
vide advice and counsel as may be necessary. In the event the person
responsible for a pollution spill does not act promptly, does not take
-------
or propose to take proper and appropriate actions to contain, clean up
and dispose of pollutants, or the dischanger is unknown, further Federal
reponse actions shall be instituted as required in accordance with
Section 11(c)(1) or 12(d) of the Act.
201.3 The Federal agencies possessing facilities or other resources
which may be useful in a Federal response situation will make such facil-
ities or resources available for use in accordance with the Plan, as
directed by the National Plan, and as consistent with operational
requirements, within the limits of existing statutory authority, and
within the spirit of the President's intention to minimize discharges
and their effects when they do occur.
202 Federal Responsibility
202.1 Each of the Primary and Advisory Federal Agencies has responsibilities
established by statute, Executive Order, or Presidential Directive which
may bear on the Federal response to a pollution spill. This Plan intends
to promote the coordination and direction of those Agencies capable of
acting in a spill situation. Responsibilities and authorities of these
several Agencies relevant to the control of pollution spills are detailed
in the Annexes.
202.2 The Council on Environmental Quality is responsibile for the
preparation, publication, revision or amendment of the National Contin-
gency Plan in accordance with Section 4(a), Executive Order 11548. The
Council will receive the advice of the NRT on necessary changes to the
Plan and shall insure that any disagreements arising among menbers of
the NRT are expeditiously settled.
202.3 The Department of Commerce, through NOAA and Mar Ad, provides
support to the NRT, RRT, and OSC with respect to: marine environmental
data, living marine resources; current and predicted meteorological,
hydrologic, and oceanographic conditions for the high seas, coastal and
inland waters; design, construction, and operation of merchant ships;
and maps and charts, including tides and currents for coastal and ter-
ritorial waters.
202.4 The Department of Health, Education, and Welfare is responsible
for providing expert advice and assistance relative to those spills or
potential spills that constitute or may constitute a threat to public
health and safety.
202.5 The Department of Defense, consistent with its operational
requirements, may provide assistance in critical pollution spills and
in the maintenance of navigation channels, slavage, and removal of
navigation obstructions.
202.6 The Department of Interior, through the US6S, supplies ex-
pertise in the fields of oil drilling, producing, handling, and pipe-
-------
line transportation. Also, the USGS has access to and supervision over
continuous manned facilities which can be used for command, control,
and surveillance of spills occuring from operations conducted under
the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act. Additionally, the Department
of Interior will provide, through its Regional Coordinators, technical
expertise to the OSC and RRT with respect to land, fish and wildlife,
and other resources for which it is responsible. DOI is also responsible
for American Samoa and the Trust Territory.
202.7 The Department of Transportation provides expertise regarding
all modes of movement of oil and hazardous substances. Through the USCG,
the Department serves as Vice-Chairman of the NRT and supplies support
and expertise in the domestic/international fields of port safety and
security, marine law enforcement, navigation, construction, manning
operation, and safety of vessels and marine facilities. Additionally,
the Coast Guard maintains continuously manned facilities that are capable
of command, control, and surveillance for spills occuring on the navigable
waters of the United States or the high seas. The USCG is responsible
for chairing the RRT and for implementing, developing, and revising, as
necessary, the Regional Plans for those areas where it is assigned the
responsibility to furnish or provide for OSCs (Section 306.2). EPA will
provide guidance to and coordinate with DOT regarding pollution control
and the protection of the environment in the preparation of such plans.
202.8 The Environmental Protection Agency is responsibility for chairing
the NRT. In this capacity, it will assure that the Plan is effectively
and efficiently implemented with optimum coordination among Federal
Agencies and will recommend changes in the Plan to CEQ, as deemed
necessary. EPA is also responsible for chairing the RRT and the devel-
opment, revision, and implementation, as necessary, of Regional Plans
for those areas in which it has responsibility to furnish or provide for
the OSC (Section 306.2). Through the resources of the Office of Water
Programs, EPA will provide technical expertise to NRT and the RRTs
relative to environmental pollution control techniques, including assess-
ment of damages and environmental restoration.
202.9 The Department of Justice can supply expert legal advice to deal
with complicated judicial questions arising from spills and Federal Agency
responses.
202.10 The Office of Emergency Preparedness will maintain an awareness
of pollution incidents as they develop. The normal OEP procedures will
be followed to evaluate any request for a major disaster declaration
received from a Governor of a State. If the President declares that a
pollution spill constitutes a major disaster under PL 91-606, the Director,
OEP, will provide coordination and direction of the Federal response in
accordance with OEP policies and procedures.
-------
202.11 The Department of State can provide leadership in developing
joint International Contingency Plans with Canada and Mexico in concert
with the United States. It can also provide assistance in coordination
when a pollution spill transects international boundaries or involves
foreign flag vessels.
202.12 All Federal agencies are responsible for minimizing the occurrence
of spills and for developing the capability to respond promptly in cases
of spills from facilities they operate or supervise, and for making re-
sources available for Regional spill reponse operations. Primary Agencies,
however, have the following additional responbi1ities: for leading all
Federal agencies in programs to minimize the number of and environmental
damage associated with spills from facilities they operate or supervise;
to develop, within their operating agencies, the capability for a rapid,
coordinated response to any spill; for providing official representation
to NRT and RRT; for making information available as may be necessary; and,
for keeping RRT informed, consistent with National security considerations,
of changes in the availability of resources that would affect the operation
of this Plan.
203 Non-Federal Responsibility
203.1 The participating States' agencies that are responsible for water
pollution control will coordinate directly with other State groups,
centralizing their particular capabilities. As the respective States progress
.in developing plans to utilize the resources available in their areas, this
information will become a part of this Regional Plan. The direct
involvement of State resources will be initiated through the Directors
of the Space programs.
203.2 These agencies will be the single spokesman to EPA for all
other State agencies. In addition, in the event State funds become
available for cleanup, these agencies would be expected to have direct
responsibility for their allocation.
300 PLANNING AND RESPONSE ELEMENTS
301 Spill Response Activities and Coordination
301.1 For spill response activities, Federal on-scene coordination
is accomplished through a single predesignated agent, the On-Scene
Coordinator (OSC). He reports to, and receives advice from, an RRT
composed of appropriate representatives from the Regional and District
Offices of the Primary and Advisory Agencies.
301.2 National level coordination is accomplished through the NRT
which receives reports from and renders advice to the RRT. Activities
are coordinated through the National and various Regional Response Centers.
-------
302 National Response Center
302.1 The NRC, located at Headquarters, USCG, is the Washington, D. C.
headquarters site for activities relative to pollution spills. NRC
quarters are described in Annex III, and provide communications, infor-
mation storage, necessary personnel and facilities to promote the
smooth and adequate functioning of this activity.
303 National Response Team
303.1 The NRT consists of representatives from the Primary and Advisory
Agencies. It serves as the national body for planning and preparedness
actions prior to a pollution spill and acts as emergency Response Team
to be activated under conditions specified in Section 303.3.
303.2 Planning and preparedness responsibilities of the NRT are:
303.2-1 Maintenance of a continuing review of regional spill
response operations and equipment readiness to insure adequacy
of Regional and National planning and coordination for combating
spills of oil and hazardous substances.
303.2-2 Functional review of the RRTs to insure that
Regional Plans developed are fully coordinated among involved
agencies. It shall serve as a body to which the RRTs may refer
for settlement of matters which they cannot resolve.
303.2-3 Development of procedures to promote the coordination
of Federal, State and local governments, and private agencies
to respond to pollution spills.
303.2-4 Establishment and maintenance of a standing committee
for revising of the National Plan. The NRT shall provide
membership on this standing committee. Advisory Agencies shall
participate whenever revision or proposed amendments would affect
those Agencies.
303.2-5 Maintenance of the National posture with respect to
pollution spills. Based on a continuing evaluation of response
actions, it shall consider and make recommendations to appropriate
agencies relating to training and equipping response team per-
sonnel; necessary research, development, demonstration, and
evaluation activities to support response capabilities; and
equipment, material stockpiling and other operational matters
as the need arises. CEQ shall be advised of any Agency's
failure to adequately response to these recommendations. Commit-
tees shall be established, as appropriate, to consider various
matters. Membership on these committees shall consist of the
-------
representatives from Primary Agencies and such Advisory
Agencies that may have direct involvement.
303.2-6 Establishment and maintenance of liaison with the U. S.
National Committee for the Prevention of Pollution of the Seas
by Oil in order to insure a consistent United States posture
regarding oil pollution control. The NRT shall also maintain
awareness of international coordination efforts in contingency
planning.
303.3 During pollution spills, NRT shall act as an emergency response
team comprised of representatives from the Primary and selected Advisory
Agencies to be activated when the spill of oil or hazardous polluting
substances (a) exceeds the response capability of the region in which it
occurs; (b) involves National security or, (c) presents a major hazard
to substantial number of persons or nationally significant amounts of
property. Any Advisory Agency may, by request to NRT, have a represent-
ative present whenever the NRT is activated for response to a spill.
When activated, the NRT shall:
303.3-1 Monitor and evaluate reports generated by the OSC
insuring their completeness. Based on this evaluation, NRT
may recommend courses of action in combating the spill through
RRT for consideration by the OSC. NRT has no operational control
of the OSC.
303.3-2 Consider requesting other Federal, State, local govern-
ment or private agencies to take action under their existing
authorities to provide resources necessary for combating a spill
or deployment of personnel to monitor the handling of the spill.
303.3-3 Coordinate the actions of regions or districts other
than those affected by spills to supply needed equipment, per-
sonnel, or technical advice to the RRT and OSC.
303.2-4 Act as the focal point for National public information
releases and for information transfer between the OSC and the
Washington, D. C. headquarters of the Agencies concerned, so as
to minimize or prevent dissemination of spurious and incomplete
information. Public information actions are discussed in
Annex VI.
304 Regional Response Center
304.1 The Regional Response Center for inland waters is the Regional
headquarters, EPA, Seattle, Washington or EPA Operations Office, Anchorage.
The Regional Response Center will be accomodated in quarters described in
Annex III and will provide communications, information storage, and other
necessary personnel and facilities to promote the smooth and adequate
functioning and administration of this Plan.
-------
305 Regional Response Team
305.1 The Regional Response Team (RRT) consists of representatives of
the Primary Agencies and selected Advisory Agencies. It functions as an
emergency response team and shall be automicaHy activated in the event of
a major or potential major spill occuring within the region. It may be
activated for any other spill if requested by any Primary Agency representative
of the team. Deactivation of the RRT shall be by agreement between EPA and
USCG team members.
305.2 The RRT will assemble at the Regional Response Center, the
Sub-Regional Response Center, at the scene or at such locations designated
in Annex III of this Plan. The EPA Region X Regional Administrator or
his representative will serve as chairman of the RRT.
305.3 The RRT will perform functions within the Region similar to
those performed nationally by the NRT. Generally, these include plan-
ning preparedness and response activities.
305.4 The States lying within a region are invited to furnish one
observer each to meetings of the RRT.
305.5 The planning and preparedness functions of the team are outlined
below.
305.5-1 Develop procedures to promote the coordinated actions
of all Federal, State, local government and private agencies
to pollution incidents.
305.5-2 Assist in the preparation of amendments to this Plan.
305.5-3 Review Sub-Regional Contingency Plans and make recom-
mendations for improving the effectiveness of such plans.
305.5-4 Review reports from the On-Scene Coordinator on the
handling of major spills and pollution incidents for the pur-
pose of analyzing response actions and recommending needed
improvements in the Contingency Plans.
305.6 Response functions would be performed any time the team is
activated. The degree of response and therefore the extent of the
RRT activity would depend on the particular situation. Specific
functions of the RRT are outlined below:
305.6-1 Monitor incoming reports and evaluate the possible
impact of such spills. Maintain an awareness of proposed
actions of the On-Scene Coordinator.
-------
305.6-2 Coordinate the actions of the various agencies in
supplying needed assistance to the On-Scene Coordinator. Assist-
ance will normally be obtained through the appropriate member of
the Regional Response Team.
305.6-3 Provide advice as required to the On-Scene Coordinator
and recommend course of action for consideration by the On-Scene
Coordinator. The Regional Response Team, however, has no direct
operational control over the On-Scene Coordinator.
305.6-4 Determine the nature and extent of the Federal response
requi red.
305.6-5 Recommend deployment of personnel to monitor the hand-
ling of the spill.
305.6-6 Request other agencies and groups to consider taking
appropriate response action.
305.6-7 Determine when a shift of on-scene coordination from
the predesignated 0SC is indicated by circumstances and designate
the appropriate OSC.
305.6-8 Provide a focal point for public relations (See Annex
VI).
305.7 For the purpose of the development of Regional Contingency Plans,
the Nation's waters are divided into State oriented regions corresponding
to EPA regional outlines. This region is further divided into small or sub-
regional areas which follow the general command and control boundaries of
the agency providing the predesignated OSC. Their boundaries are delineated
in Annex IV.
305.8 The agency membership on RRT is established by the National
Contingency Plan; however, individuals representating the Primary and
selected Advisory Agencies may vary depending on the sub-regional area
in which the incident occurs. Details of such representation are specified
in Annex III.
306 On-Scene Coordination
306.1 Coordination and direction of Federal pollution control efforts
at the scene of a spill or a potential spill shall be accomplished
through the OSC. The OSC is the single executive agent predesignated by
this Plan to coordinate and direct such pollution control activities in
each area of the region.
-------
306.1-1 In the event of a spill of oil or other hazardous
polluting substance, the first Federal official on the site,
shall assume coordination of activities under the plan until
the predesignated OSC becomes available to take charge of the
operation.
306.1-2 The OSC shall determine pertinent facts about a
particular spill, such as its potential impact on human health,
the nature, amount, location of material spilled, probable
direction and time of travel of the material, resources and
installations which may be affected, and the priorities for
protecting them.
306.1-3 The OSC shall initiate and direct as required Phase
II, Phase III, and Phase IV operations as hereinafter described.
306.1-4 The OSC shall call upon and direct the deployment of
needed resources in accordance with the Regional Plan to initiate
and continue containment, countermeasures, cleanup, restoration,
and disposal functions.
306.1-5 The OSC shall provide necessary support activities
and documentation for Phase V activities.
306.1-6 In carrying out this Plan, the OSC will fully inform
and coordinate closely with the RRT to ensure the maximum effective-
ness of the Federal effort in protecting the natural resources
and environment from pollution damage.
306.1-7 It is recognized that in some cases the OSC, par-
ticularly where he is a Coast Guard officer, may have other
functions, such as search and rescue or port safely and security,
which must be performed along with pollution control functions.
306.2 The On-Scene Coordinator (OSC) shall be the first responsible
Federal official on the scene representing any of the Primary Agencies
on the RRT until the arrival of the predesignated OSC. Upon notification
of a major disaster, the OSC shall be responsible for coordination of ac-
tivities under the plan until one of the predesignated officials listed
below becomes available to take charge.
306.2-1 Sub-Region A - Alaska - The Director, Alaska Operations
Office, Anchorage, will designate the OSC for these waters. Until
such time as the RRT or his representatives agree to a change, the
above representatives will remain as OSC.
306.2-2 Sub-Region B - Region X Lower 48 States - Chief, O&HM,
EPA or his representatives, will be designated as the OSC for
these waters.
-------
306.3 In the event of a nuclear pollution spill, the coordinator and
response procedures of the Interagency Radiological Assistance Plan shall
apply.
307. Sub-Regional Response Areas
307.1 The determination as to the area of responsibility for each area
will be developed at the local level in order to insure maximum use of
the local resources and capabilities, and included in the Sub-Regional
Plans.
It is expected that at Headquarters, International coordination
will be obtained between the U. S. Government and Canada on inland waters
between the two respective countries. As this coordination is developed,
it will be indicated in the plan.
308 Sub-Regional Response Center
308.1 A third level operations center would be composed of State
agencies headed by the State water pollution control agency responsible
for the State's action. Locations for this center would be on-scene as
near as possible to the second level operations center and, if necessary,
at the central office of the lead agency. See Annex III, 1302 for
a description of the locations for each Sub-Region.
309 Sub-Regional Response Team
309.1 The Sub-Regional Response Team will be comprised of members of
the RRT and a representative of the affected States' Pollution Control
Agency.
400 FEDERAL RESPONSE OPERATIONS - RESPONSE PHASES
400.1 The actions taken to respond to a pollution spill can be sep-
arated into five relatively distinct classes or phases. For descriptive
purposes, these are: Phase I. Discovery and Notification; Phase II.
Containment and Countermeasures; Phase III. Cleanup and Disposal; Phase
IV. Restoration; and Phase V. Recovery of Damages and Enforcement. It
must be recognized that elements of any one phase may take place concur-
rently with one or more other phases.
401 Phase I - Discovery and Notification
401.1 Discovery of a spill may be through deliberate discovery pro-
cedures, such as vessel patrols, aircraft searches, or similar procedures,
or through random discovery by incidental observations of government
agencies, private agencies, or the general public. Reports from random
discovery may be initially through fishing or pleasure boats, police
departments, telephone operators, port authorities, news media, etc.
The RRC function should be made known to such non-Federal discovery
sources through preparedness educational efforts to identify the channels
-------
by which RRC can most promptly be notified of the spill. Insofar as
possible, these sources will be organized into alerting networks and
detailed in the Sub-Regional Contingency Plans.
401.2 The severity of the spill will determine the reporting procedure
and the participating Federal Agencies to be notified promptly of the
spill. The severity of the spill is determined by the nature and
quantity of materials spilled, the location of the spill, and the
resources adjacent to the spill area which may be affected by it.
Annexes II and V detail alerting procedures and communication links.
402 Phase II - Containment and Countermeasures
402.1 These are defensive actions to be initiated as soon as possible
after discovery and notification of a spill. After the OSC determines
that further Federal response actions are needed and depending on the
circumstances of each particular case, various actions may be taken.
These may include source control procedures, public health protection
activities, salvage operations, placement of physical barriers to halt
or slow the spread of a pollutant, emplacement or activation of booms
or barriers to protect specific installations or areas, control of the
water discharge from upstream impoundments and the employment of chemicals
and other materials to restrain the pollutant and its effect on water
related resources. Surveillance activities will be conducted as needed
to support Phase II and Phase III actions.
403 Phase III - Cleanup and Disposal
403.1 This includes those actions taken to remove the pollutant from
the water and related on-shore areas, such as the collection of oil
through the use of sorbers, skimmers, or other collection devices, the
removal of beach sand, and non-polluting disposal of the pollutants
which are recovered in the cleanup process.
404 Phase IV - Restoration
404.1 This includes those actions taken to restore the environment
to its pre-spill condition, including assessment of damages incurred
and actual physical actions such as the re-seeding of a shellfish bed.
405 Phase V - Recovery of Damages and Enforcement
405.1 This includes a variety of activities, depending on the location
of the circumstances surrounding a particular spill. Recovery of damages
done to Federal property and to State or local government property is
included; however, third party damage is not considered in this phase.
Recovery of the costs of cleanup is a part of this phase. Enforcement
activities under appropriate authority such as the Water Quality Act of
-------
1970, the Refuse Act of 1899, and State and local statutes and ordinances
are also included. The collection of scientific and technical information
for the scientific community for use as a basic for research and develop-
ment activities and enhancement of our understanding of the environment
may also be considered in this phase. It must be recognized that the
collection of samples and necessary data must be performed at the proper
times during the case of enforcement and other purposes. Enforcement
procedures, including investigative requirements, are detailed in Annex
VIII.
406 Procedures to be Followed for the Purpose of Water Pollution
Control
406.1 The Agency furnishing the OSC for a particular area is assigned
responsibility to undertake and implement Phase I activities in that area.
Other Agencies should incorporate Phase I activities into their on-going
programs whenever practicable. Upon receipt of information, either from
deliberate or random discovery activities, that a spill has occurred,
the OSC for the affected area will be notified. Subsequent action and
dissemination of information will be in accordance with this plan.
406.2 The OSC is assigned responsibility for the initiation of Phase
II actions and should take immediate steps to effect containment or
other appropriate countermeasures. Continuing water pollution control
techniques must receive the concurrence of the representative on the RRT
of the agency having concomitant statutory authority.
406.3 The OSC is assigned responsibility for conduct of Phase III
activities utilizing techniques concurred in by the representative on
the RRT of the agency having concomitant statutory authority.
406.4 The OSC is assigned responsibility for the conduct of Phase
IV activities utilizing techniques concurred in by the RRT. If the
RRT is deactivated during Phase IV activity, the OSC must obtain con-
currence for continuing water pollution control techniques from the
representative on the RRT of the agency having concomitant statutory
authority.
406.5 Phase V activities shall be carried out by the individual
agencies in accordance with existing statutes, with such assistance
as is needed from other agencies and from the OSC.
406.6 Environmental pollution control techniques shall be in accordance
with this Regional Plan. In any circumstances not covered by the Regional
Plan, the use of chemicals must be in accordance with Annex XVI and must
have the concurrence of the EPA representative on RRT; in his absence,
the concurrence of the appropriate EPA Regional Administrator will be
required.
-------
500 COORDINATING INSTRUCTIONS
501 Delegation of Authority
501.1 Delegation of authority or concurrence in proposed or continuing
water pollution control activities may be either verbal or written by the
EPA representative on RRT or the agency having concomitant authority.
502 Multi-Regional Actions
502.1 In the event that a spill or a potential spill moves from the
area covered by one Contingency Plan into another area, the authority
to initiate pollution control actions shall shift as appropriate. In
the event that a polluting spill or potential spill affects areas covered
by two or more Regional Plans, the response mechanism called for by both
plans shall be activated; however, pollution control actions shall be
fully coordinated as detailed in Annex IV.
502.2 There shall be only one On-Scene Coordinator at any time during
the course of a spill response. Should a spill affect two or more areas,
the RRT will designate the OSC, giving prime considerations to the area
vulnerable to the greatest damage. NRT shall designate the OSC if
members of one RRT or of two adjacent RRTs, if appropriate, are unable
to agree on the designation.
503 Notification
503.1 Sections 11 and 12 of the Act requires that all harmful dis-
charges of oil and all discharges of hazardous substances into or upon
the navigable waters of the U. S. must be reported to appropriate Federal
authority. Designation of the Federal agents to receive such reports are
contained in Title 33, Part 153, Subpart B, Code of Federal Regulations
published by the U. S. Coast Guard and are available through the Agency's
District Headquarters. Such reports are to be made to the nearest USCG or
EPA office.
504 General Pattern of Response Actions
504.1 When the On-Scene Coordinator receives a report of a spill, or
potential spill, the report should be evaluated. In most situations,
the sequence of actions shown below should be followed.
504.1-1 Investigate the report to determine pertinent infor-
mation, such as the threat posed to public health or welfare,
the type and quantity of material spilled, and the source of
spi11.
504.1-2 Effect notification in accordance with Annex II.
504.1-3 Designate the severity of the situation and determine
the future course of action to be followed.
-------
504.2 The results of the report probably can be categorized by one of
five classes. Appropriate action to be taked in each specific type case
is outlined below.
504.2-1 If the investigation shows that the initial information
overstated the magnitude or danger of the spill and there is no
water pollution involved, it should be considered a false alarm
and the case should be closed.
504.2-2 If the investigation shows a minor spill with the dis-
charger taking appropriate cleanup action, contact is made with
the discharger, the situation is monitored and information is
gathered for possible enforcement action.
504.2-3 If the investigation shows a minor spill with improper
action being taken, the following measures should be taken:
a. Attempt should be made to prevent further discharges
from the source.
b. The discharger should be advised of the proper action
to be taken.
c. If, after providing advice to the discharger and this
advice is not followed, the discharger should be warned of
any violations of law or legal responsibility for cleanup.
d. Information should be gathered for possible enforcement
action.
e. The OSC should notify appropriate State and local
officials. He should keep the Regional Response Center
advised and initiate Phase II and III activities as con-
ditions warrant.
504.2-4 When the initial report or investigation indicates that
a medium spill has occured or that a potential medium spill
situation exists, the OSC should follow the same general procedures
as for a minor spill. Additionally, the OSC should make a
recommendation on convening the RRT.
504.2-5 When a report indicates that a major spill has occurred,
that a potential major spill situation exists, or that a spill
or potential spill which could arouse wide public concern has
occurred, the OSC should follow the same procedures as for
minor and medium spills. RRC and NRT should, however, be
notified immediately of the situation even if the initial
report has not been confirmed.
-------
505
Strike Force
505.1 A nucleus National level strike force, consisting of personnel
trained, prepared, and available to provide the necessary services to
carry out this Plan has been extablished by the USCG. This force, pre-
sently located on the east coast, is being augmented and will be on site
at various locations throughout the country. The National level strike
force will be available, if requested, to assist in response during
pollution spills. The National level strike force may be requested
through the appropriate USCG District Commander, Area Commander, or the
Commandant, USCG. The strike force will direct the operation of any
government-owned specialized pollution cleanup equipment and will function
under the OSC.
Local strike force teams consisting of personnel from operating
units within the region will be designated as soon as all State and local
plans are developed and coordinated with the Regional Plan. They shall be
trained, prepared, and available to provide necessary services to implement
the Plan. The services of the local strike force teams will be obtained
through the District Commander, USCG, 13th District or EPA Regional
Headquarters, Seattle for Sub-Region B and District Commander, USCG,
17th District or EPA, A00, Anchorage for Sub-Region A. These teams are to
be capable of merging with other strike forces within the region, or of
being sent outside their own region. They are to be capable of supplementing
the National level strike force. The local strike force teams should be
capable of full independent response to all minor spill situations and
joint coordinative response to medium or major spill situations.

1200 NOTIFICATION AND REPORTING
1201 General
1201.1 The requirements for notification and reporting of spillage are
dependent on the degree of severity of the spill. There are a number of
factors that must be taken into account when determining the severity,
including the reliability of the reporting source, the location, the
quantity and type of material, and the proximity and nature of adjoining
critical water use areas. Considering the degree of severity, the spill
should be classified as either minor, medium, or major spill. This
initial classification will be used to determine notification procedures
until the degree of severity can be confirmed. All spills occurring on
inland waters shall be immediately reported to the 13th USCG District
Office, Seattle, any USCG Captain of the Port Office, or the EPA Region X
Office, Seattle, in order to implement resources necessary to meet the
emergency should it reach coastal or tidal waters.
1202 Notification Requirements
1202.1 Initial notification would be accomplished by telephone or teletype.
Teletypes should be in the P0LREP (see Annex V) format. Normally, the
agencies receiving initial notification would receive subsequent POLREP's
pertaining to the case.
1202.2 Minor Spills The 0SC should report all minor spills to the
Regional Response Center or Sub-Regional Response Center, as appropriate.
This may be accomplished by P0LREP ONE AND FINAL. If local government
cleanup action is required, cognizant officials should be notified. The
RRC or SRC should notify the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Regional
Administrator daily of reports of minor spills with a P0LREP ONE AND FINAL,
summarizing the various cases.
1202.3 Medium Spills The 0SC should report all medium spills or potential
medium spills to the Regional Response Center or Sub-Regional Response
Center, as appropriate. This should be accomplished as soon as practical
by teletype or telephone. The RRC or SRC should notify the EPA Regional
Administrator of all reports of medium spills as soon as possible using tele-
type or telephone, whichever is appropriate. Further notification will be
accomplished by the EPA Regional Administrator as indicated by the situation.
1202.4 Major Spills The 0SC should immediately report all major or
potential major spills to the Regional Response Center or Sub-Regional
Response Center, as appropriate. This should be accomplished immediately
by telephone and verified by teletype. The RRC or SRC should immediately
notify the RRT and NRC by telephone of all reports of major or potential
major spills. As soon as possible, the NRT should be advised by teletype.
-------
1203
National Level Telephonic Notification
1203.1 During working hours, the NRC should be notified by contacting
U. S. Coast Guard Headquarters, Washington, D. C. After hours and on
weekends and holidays, the NRC should be notified by contacting the Duty
Officer, U. S. Coast Guard Headquarters, Washington, D. C.
1203.2 Telephone notification received by the NRC will be evaluated by
the Coast Guard member of the NRT. Notification of the remainder of the
NRT will be accomplished by the Coast Guard member of the NRT if considered
appropriate. Message reports to the NRT will be addressed as indicated in
Section 1552.
1204 Notification of the RRT shall follow the general sequence as out-
lined in the Plan of Response, Appendix II.
1205 The 0SC shall notify representatives of the Primary agencies.
Environmental Protection Agency will notify the involved State water pollution
agency and a 11 other participating Federal agencies. Appendix II outlines
the notification prodedure to be used ib reporting an oil spill in Region X.
1206 State and Local Officials
State Water Pollution Control Agencies will be responsible for the
coordination and notification of all affected State government agencies
within their respective States.
The participating States' Water Pollution Control Agencies will co-
ordinate directly with other State and local groups, centralizing their
particular capabilities. As the respective States progress in developing
plans to utilize the resources available in their areas, this information
will become a part of the Regional Plan. The direct involvement of State
and local resources will be initiated through the Directors of the State
programs.
These agencies will be the single spokesman to EPA for all other
State agencies. However, in the case that State funds become available
for cleanup, these agencies would be expected to have direct responsibility
for their allocations.
Local and private organizations will become a part of the Regional
Plan as it is further developed by the State agencies. Information as to
equipment and resource capabilities at the local level will be gathered
by the State water pollution agencies and consolidated into the Regional
Plan. . .
Contact will be maintained with the State water pollution agencies
in developing this inventory.
1207 situation Report Requirements
1207.1 Timely information on a spill, including the situation and response
activities, is essential to the proper evaluation of the case. This infor-
mation should be submitted in the P0LREP format. The P0LREP format is
contained in Annex V.
-------
1207.2 Minor spills would normally be reported by the OSC in POLREP
ONE AND FINAL. See Section 1202.2
1207.3 The OSC should submit timely POLREP's to the RRC or SRC on all
medium or major spills. The RRC or SRC is responsible for keeping the
RRT advised. The RRT shall submit timely POLREP's by double heading the
OSC1s POLREP's or by originating POLREP's by the team or a member of the
team.
1208 Administrative Report Requirements
1208.1 At the conclusion of Federal activity resulting from a spill,
the OSCs involved will, pursuant to applicable instructions of their own
agencies, submit a complete report of the incident and the actions taken.
Copies will be furnished to the NRT or RRT, as appropriate, together with
any other pertinent information available. The NRT will then evaluate
each incident and will make appropriate recommendations.
1208.2 In addition to the report required for resulting Federal activity,
any spill which indicates a need for amendment to the plans, introduces new
control techniques, or is otherwise of widespread interest, should be
documented and reported to the RRT and/or NRT, as appropriate.
1208.3 The primary purpose of these reports is for evaluating control
techniques and Federal response activities. Lengthy narrative not re-
quired for an understanding of the problems or recommendations need not
be included. Sufficient descriptive information should, however, be
included to permit full evaluation of the report.

1300 REGIONAL RESPONSE CENTER
1301. Regional Response Center (RRC)
1301.1 The RRC for inland waters will be located at the EPA Office,
Seattle, Washington. On-scene locations will be the nearest available
station where air transportation and communications facilities are
available.
1301.2 First consideration shall be given to locating the on-scene
station as closely as possible to the problem. If adequate facilities
are not available at the site of the spill, the closest possible location
with the required facilities shall be chosen. A field team will then be
located on-scene, thereby requiring three centers of operation: the RRC
in Seattle, the second level center near the site, and the field center
at the site.
1302 Sub-Regional Response Center
(1) Upper Columbia River - Above Bonneville Dam, the Sub-
Regional Headquarters will be established at the multi-purpose dam
project offices located along the Columbia and Snake Rivers as in-
dicated on the basin map.
(2) Other Inland Waters - Sub-Regional Headquarters will be
established near the disaster area.

Annex VI
1600 PUBLIC INFORMATION
1600 Public Information Center
A central information office will be established at the
Regional Operations Center to disseminate information to news media
which is accurate and the latest information available on circumstances
regarding the spill. All agency representatives should take steps to
assure that the central press office is immediately informed of all
developments. The Regional Information Officer, Region X, EPA, will
be in charge of the central press office.
1601 Introduction
1601.1 When a major spill occurs, it is imperative that the public
be provided promptly with accurate information on the nature of the
incident and what steps are being taken to correct the problem. This
policy must be followed to obtain understanding from the public, ensure
cooperation from all interested parties, and to check the spread of
misinformation. National Administration policy and the Freedom of
Information Act both call for maximum disclosure of information.
1602 National News Office
1602.1 When the NRT is activated the team chairman will contact the
most appropriate Primary Agency and ask it to detail a professional
information officer to establish and direct a National News Office.
Requests by the Director of the National News Office for an appropriate
number of professional and clerical assistances will be met by one or
more of the Primary Agencies.
1602.2 The Director of the National News Office will be responsible
for overall supervision of public information activities. While the
Director of the Regional News Office will have considerable freedom in
responding to news inquiries, he will work under the direction of the
Director of National News Office. The closest possible coordination
will be maintained between the National News Office in Washington and the
Regional News Office.
1602.3 Promptly after his designation, the Director of the National
News Office will contact the White House Press Office and the Office of
the Director of Communications for the Federal Government to arrange
whatever information assistance may be required by these offices.
1602.4 All written news releases involving major policy considerations
will be cleared by the Chairman of the NRT or in his absence the Vice-
Chairman. Situation reports and other factual releases will not require
formal clearance.
-------
1602.5 The Director of the National News Office will have free access
to meetings of the NRT and will be consulted on the possible public re-
action to the courses of action under consideration by the NRT.
1602.6 At appropriate intervals, the Director of the National News
Office may arrange news conferences at which the Chairman of the NRT,
the OSC, or other informed officials will make progress reports and re-
spond to questions from the media representatives.
1602.7 The Director of the National News Office will keep appropriate
press offices posted on developments. These include the press offices
of the Secretaries or Director of the Primary Agencies to the National
Contingency Plan; Governors, Senators, and Representatives whose States
or Districts are affected by the incident; and, the Mayor and other
responsible local officials in affected communities.
1602.8 As long as public interest warrants, at least one written news
release a day or status report will be issued by the National News Office
and the Regional News Office reporting progress in controlling the inci-
dent and other developments.
1602.9 The National News Office will be provided with adequate space,
telephones, typewriters, communications equipment and other supplies by
the U. S. Coast Guard at U. S. Coast Guard Headquarters, Washington, D. C.,
where the NRC is housed. The Director of the National News Office will
determine what equipment and supplies are needed to ensure an orderly
flow of information and to accommodate visiting members of the news
media.
1603 Regional News Office
1603.1 When an RRT declares a pollution incident, the Chairman will
contact the most appropriate agency and ask it to detail a professional
public information officer to establish and direct a Regional News Office.
The Regional News Office should be set up at or near the location where
the OSC is stationed. Requests by the Director of the Regional News
Office for appropriate professional and clerical assistance will be met
by one or more of the Primary Agencies.
1603.2 The Director of the Regional News Office will follow the pro-
cedures outlined above for the Director of National News Office in
contacting the press offices of State and local officials, in arranging
appropriate public information liaison with industries and other con-
cerned interests, and in issuing at least a daily written news release.
1603.3 All news releases involving major policy considerations will
be cleared by the Chairman of the RRT or in his absence, the Executive
Secretary. Situation reports and other factual releases will not require
formal clearance.
-------
1603.4 The Director of the Regional News Office will have free access
to meetings of the RRT and should be consulted on the possible public
reaction to the courses of action under consideration by the RRT.
1603.5 The Regional News Office will be provided with adequate space,
telephones, typewriters, communications equipment, and other supplies by
the Primary Agency which is providing the headquarters for the RRT. The
Director of the Regional News Office will determine what equipment and
supplies are needed to ensure an orderly flow of information and to
accommodate visiting members of the news media.
1604 Washington, D. C. Public Information Contact
1604.1 If the NRT has not been activated, the Director of the Regional
News Office will ask the most appropriate Primary Agency to assign a
public information officer in Washington, D. C. to serve as a contact
point for queries made in Washington, D. C. The information officer
assigned to this task will follow the procedures outlined above for the
Director of the National News Office in contacting the press offices of
the White House and Congressional and Federal officials.
1605 Interim Public Information Director
1605.1 In the period following a spill and before the need for a Federal
response is determined, information activities will be directed by the public
information personnel of the same Primary Agency which will provide the
pre-designated 0SC. These activities will be conducted in accordance with
the information policies of that agency.
1606 Special Public Information Procedures for Senators, Representatives,
Congressional Aides and Staff Members, White House Representatives, and
Other VIP's
1606.1 The Director of the National News Office or the Director of the
Regional News Office will arrange, on request, to perform special public
information services for VIP's including: notifying the media of the
time, place, and purpose of the VIP visit; making press conference arrange-
ments; and, arranging for interviews with the VIP by interested members of
the media.
1607.1 Special Public Information Procedures for Salesmen
1607.1 Public information officers assigned to pollution spills will
refer salesmen to technical personnel designated to evaluate their wares.
1608. Special Public Information Procedures for the General Public
1608.1 In responding to queries from the general public, public infor-
mation officers will advise the callers or arrange to have the callers
advised on what the latest press release has reported.
-------
1609 Special Information Procedures for the General Public
1609.1 After the crisis has subsided, a model letter reporting on the
situation will be drafted by the public information personnel assigned
to the problem. After the model letter has been approved by the chairman
of the NRT or the RRT, copies will be sent to the Primary Agencies for
their guidance in responding to mail inquiries.

Annex VII
1700 LEGAL
The legal responsibi1ity of each participating agency as to
its legal jurdisictions will be determined within the agency. When a
major spill occurs, the legal representatives of each agency will
immediately be notified by those persons within their respective
organizations in order that legal procedures may begin with a minimum
of delay. Enforcement procedures will fall, primarily, under the Water
Quality Act of 1970 or the Corps of Engineers Refuse Act of 1899.
Collection of evidence during a major spill will be the responsibility
of the OSC. Other agencies on the RRT will assist the OSC so as to
accomplish this task with a minimum of delay with all reports and
evidence being appropriately forwarded to the U. S. Attorney's Office.

Annex VIII
1800 ENFORCEMENT PROCEDURES
1801 Introduction
1801.1 The OSC in charge at the scene of a pollution incident may
be from any one of several agencies. Therefore it is necessary to
establish uniform procedures for notification of counsel, collection
of samples and information consistent with several phases in
Federal response situation. Necessary information and sample col-
lection must be performed at the proper times during the Federal
involvement in a spill for the purpose of later use in identifying
the party responsible, in cleanup cost recovery, damage recovery,
and civil and criminal enforcement actions under appropriate Federal
statutes. Time is of great importance since wind, tide and currents
may disperse or remove the evidence and witnesses may no longer be
available. Thus, during the phases of discovery and notification,
containment and counte measures, cleanup and disposal, and restoration,
the OSC must take the necessary action to put counsel on notice of the
event and to ensure that information, records, and samples adequate
for legal and research purposes are obtained and safeguarded for future
use.
1802 Notification of Counsel
1802.1 Immediately upon notification that a spill has occurred, the
RRT or NRT members, as appropriate shall notify their respective
regional and departmental attorneys, as provided herein.
1802.2 Initial coordination of appropriate counsel will be effected
by counsel of the Department responsible for furnishing the OSC. Coord-
ination will be for joint and separate actions concerning legal matters
regarding the operation of the Plan, sending of notices, advice regarding
the handling of evidence, preparation of evidentiary statements, and
referral of the matter to the Justice Department or appropriate U. S.
Attorney.
1802.3 The information and reports obtained by the OSC are to be
transmitted to the RRC. Copies will then be forwarded to the NRC, members
of the RRT, and others, as appropriate. The representative of the Agency
on the RRT having cost recovery or enforcement authority will then refer
copies of the pollution reports to his respective agency counsel.
-------
1803 Legal Notice to Ship Operators and Others
1803.1 Notice to the ship or facility operator, owner, or other approp-
riate responsible person indicating Federal interest and potential action
in a spill, shall be prepared and sent by the Agency responsible for
furnishing the OSC. This notice should include, among other things,
Federal statutes and regulations violated, indication of responsibility
for cleanup, notice that cleanup be effected pursuant to the National
Contingency Plan and Federal regulations, identification of OSC, and
direction that response activity be coordinated with the OSC.
1804 Action to be Taken by OSC for Phase V Activities in Conjunction
With Actions in Phase I, II, and III as described in Section 400
1804.1 Investigate observed instances of oil or other hazardous sub-
stances pollution in the waters covered by the scope of this Plan.
Investigative actions may include:
1804.1-1 Request permission to enter facility or vessel
involved. The investigator should identify himself and
explain his reason for being there. In those situations
where statutory authority does not exist for entering or
boarding and if permission to enter or board is denied,
investigator should seek assistance of local U. S. Marshal.
1804.1-2 Question all persons who may be responsible for or
have knowledge of the spillage and record the name, address
and position of each witness.
1804.1-3 Furnish anyone who may be responsible for an offense
with an appropriate warning as to his rights.
1804.1-4 Obtain signed statements wherever possible indicating
where, when, and how the spill occurred and its extent.
1804.1-5 When a witness makes an oral statement but will not
give a written statement, reduce the oral statement to writing.
1804.1-6 When the source of the pollution is unknown, obtain
as much information as possible and note any suspect vessels
or faci 1 ities.
1804.2 When investigation discloses a reasonable basis to believe a
violation has occurred, collect samples of oil or hazardous polluting
substances from the water and from appropriate spaces and drainage points
of the suspected offering vessel or vessels, shore establishments, or
other sources. Collect comparative samples in unaffected water in the
vicinity of the spill-
-------
1804.3 Samples collected are to be transmitted for analysis, using
special courier or registered mail (return receipt requested) and ob-
serving the procedures outlined below. The analytical laboratory is
the EPA oil laboratory in Redmond, Washington. Reports of laboratory
analysis will be forwarded to the appropriate RRT for transmittal to
counsel. The Chairman, RRT, will also forward copies of the laboratory
reports to NRT.
1804.4 Photographs should be taken, if possible, using color type
film. The photographs should show the source and the extent of the
pollution. The following information should be recorded on the back
of each photographic print: (a) name and location of vessel or
facility; (b) date and time the photo was taken; (c) names of the
photographer and witnesses; (d) shutter speed and lens opening; and
(e) type of film used and details of film processing. (The immediate
developing type of photographic process may be of major assistance to
the less than professional photographer by allowing on-the-spot inspection
of results and "retakes" as needed to obtain an acceptable photograph.)
1804.5 If in doubt as to whether or not a particular case may be an
oil pollution or hazardous materials pollution violation, or in doubt
as to how to proceed in any given case, contact the RRT for instructions
and advice. If, however, time is a critical factor and/or the RRT has
not yet assembled, proceed as if the incident were a pollution violation.
1805 Sample Collection Procedures to be followed by OSC
1805.1 Several precautions must be observed when taking and handling
liquid samples for analysis as the character of the sample may be affected
by a number of common conditions. These precautions concern: (a) the
composition of the container; (b) cleanliness of the container; and (c)
manner in which the sample is taken.
1805.2 In taking such samples, the following procedures are to be
followed in all cases:
1805.2-1 Glass containers of one quart size are to be used.
The portion of the closure (sealing gasket or cap liner) which
may come into contact with the sample in the container is of
considerable importance. Where oil or petroleum based hydro-
carbons are to be sampled, the closure should be made of glass,
aluminum foil, or teflon. Other pollutants may require different
or special closure material and the analysis laboratory should
be consulted whenever a question arises as to the appropriateness
of any closure material.
1805.2-2 Previously unused containers are preferred. Containers
that have been cleaned with a strong detergent, thoroughly rinsed,
and dried may be used.
-------
1805.2-3 Samples must be properly labeled.
1805.2-4 Consult with the analysis laboratory personnel relative
to special samples and unusual problems.
1804.2-5 Some explanatory notes covering the above procedures
are: (a) Glass containers always must be used because plastic
containers, with the exception of teflon, have been found in
some cases to absorb organic materials from water and in other
cases compounds have been dissolved from plastic containers;
(b) as it is desirable to take a large sample of the pollutant,
proper skimming techniques should be used to obtain a sufficient
amount of oil for analysis; and (c) since it is not unusual for
a pollution condition to change rapidly, samples should be taken
in a timely fashion, and the time sequences and places noted.
1806 Chain of Custody Record
1806.1 All samples and other tangible evidence must be maintained in
proper custody until orders have been received from competent authority
directing their disposition. Precautions should be taken to protect the
samples from breakage, fire, altering and tampering. It is important
that a chain of custody of the samples be properly maintained and recorded
from the time the samples are taken until ultimate use at the trial of the
case. In this regard, a record of time, place, and the name and title of
the person taking the sample, and each person handling same thereafter
must be maintained and forwarded with the sample.
1807 Spill Pollution Report
1807.1 The information for each pollution spill should be obtained
by the OSC and reported pursuant to the appropriate instructions.

1900 FUNDING
1901 General
1901.1 The primary thrust of this Plan is to encourage the person
responsible for a spill to take appropriate remedial actions. Usually
this will mean that the cost of containment countermeasures and cleanup
with respect to spills of oil or other hazardous substances should be
borne by the person responsible for the discharge. The OSC and other
officials associated with the handling of a spill should make substantial
effort to have the responsible person accept voluntarily this financial
responsibility.
1901.2 Actions undertaken by the Primary Agencies in response to
pollution spill emergencies shall be carried out under existing pro-
grams and authorities insofar as practicable. It is recognized, however,
that the separate agencies may have funds available specifically for
dealing with pollution and related incidents.
1901.3 It is not envisioned that any Federal agency will make resources
available, expend funds, or participate in operations in connection with
spills unless such agency can so respond in conformance with its existing
authority. Authority to expend resources will be in accordance with the
agencies basic statutes and, if required, through cross-servicing agree-
ments. This plan encourages interagency agreements whenever specific
reimbursement agreements between Federal agencies are deemed necessary
to insure that the Federal resources will be available for a timely
response to a pollution emergency.
1902 Funding Responsibility
1902.1 The funding, including reimbursement to Federal agencies, other
agencies, contractors and others, of pollution removal activities is the
responsibility of the agency providing the predesignated OSC. This fund-
ing may be provided through normal operating expense accounts of the
agency or through special funding arrangements such as the Pollution
Revolving Fund described hereinafter.
1902.2 Funding of response actions not associated with the removal
activity, such as scientific investigations, law enforcement or public
relations, is the responsibility of theagency having statutory or
executive responsibility for those specific actions.
-------
1903 Agency Funding
1903.1 The Environmental Protection Agency can provide funds to insure
timely initiation of cleanup actions in those instances where the OSC is
an EPA representative. Funding of continuing cleanup actions, however,
will be determined on a case-by-case basis by the Headquarters Office
of EPA. Inasmuch as EPA does not have funds provided for this purpose,
by statute or regulation, initiation of containment and cleanup activities
is funded out of operating program funds.
1903.2 The. U. S. Coast Guard pollution control efforts are funded under
"Operating Expenses." These funds are utilized in accordance with applic-
able Regional Plans and agency directives.
1903.3 The Department of Defense has two specific sources of funds which
may be applicable to a pollution incident under appropriate circumstances.
(This does not consider military resources which might be made available
under specific circumstances.)
1903.1-1 Funds required for removal of a sunken vessel or similar
obstruction to navigation are available to the Corps of Engineers
through Civil Functions Appropriations, Operations and Maintenance,
General.
1903.1-2 The U. S. Navy has funds available on a reimbursable
basis to conduct salvage operations.
1904 Disaster Relief Funds
1904.1 Certain pollution control response activities may qualify for
reimbursement as disaster relief functions. In making a declaration of
a major disaster for a stricken area, the President may allocate funds
from his Disaster Relief Fund, administered by the Director, Office of
Emergency Preparedness. After the President has declared a major
disaster and authorized allocation of funds, the Director may authorize
certain reimbursements to Federal agencies for disaster assistance pro-
vided under direction of his office. Applicable policies and procedures
are stated in Title 32, Chapter XVII, Part 1709, "Reimbursement of Other
Federal Agencies Performing Major Disaster Relief Functions."
1904.2 The Director may also make financial assistance available to
State Governments and through the States to local governments in accord-
ance with policies and procedures stated in Title 32, Chapter XVII, Part
1710, "Federal Disaster Assistance."
1905 Pollution Revolving Fund
1905.1 A pollution revolving fund (hereinafter referred to as the Fund)
administered by the Commandant, USCG, has been established under the pro-
visions of Section 11 of the Act. This Fund is available to pay specified
costs associated with spill response operations. Regulations governing
administration and use of the funds are contained in 33 CFR, Part 153D,
April 13, 1971.
-------
1905.2 The Fund is available to pay the cost of removal of oil discharged
into the navigable waters and adjoining shorelines of the United States.
It is also available to pay the cost of removal of discharges of hazardous
polluting substances, provided the material has been designated as a
hazardous polluting substance pursuant to Section 12(a) of the Act.
1905.3 Examples of specific costs reimbursable to a Federal agency for
spill response operations are:
1905.3-1 Costs incurred by industrial type facilities, including
charges for overhead, in accordance with the agency's industrial
accounting system;
1905.3-2 Out-of-pocket costs specifically and directly incurred
as a result of recovery activities such as:
-2.1 Travel, including transportation and per diem, when
specifically requested by the OSC.
-2.2 Supplies, materials, and minor equipment procured
specifically for response activities.
1905.4 Some limitations on use of the Fund are:
1905.4-1 Restriction of reimbursement for expenditures made for
Phase II and Phase III response actions;
1905.4-2 Personnel and equipment costs which are funded by
other appropriations and which would have been incurred during
normal operations; and
1905.4-3 Costs of surveillance activities, restoration of
damages following a spill, or investigative functions performed
in support of enforcement action or scientific documentation.
1905.5 The Commandant, USCG, will prepare and distribute detailed in-
structions to assist in determination of appropriate costs by the OSC
when available. These instructions shall be included in this Plan.
1906 General Limitations on Funding
1906.1 Care must be exercised to ensure that misunderstandings do not
develop about reimbursement of funds expended for containment and cleanup
activities. The OSC should not knowingly request services for which
reimbursement is mandatory unless reimbursement funds are known to be
available. Similarly, the agency supplying a reimbursable service should
determine the source of reimbursement before committing resources necessi-
tating reimbursment.
-------
1907 Planni nq
1907.1 The availability of funds and requirements for the reimbursement
of expenditures by certain agencies must be included in resource utilization
planning. Local interagency agreements may be necessary to specify when
reimbursement is required.

Annex X
2000 OIL POLLUTION SURVEILLANCE
2001 Introduction
2001.1 Surveillance Surveillance is the action by which the On-
Scene Coordinator is kept informed on the movement of an oil slick or
hazardous substances from the time immediately after a spill is reported
until the cleanup activity has been completed. The surveillance activity
should make provisions for such items as (1) visual observations, (2)
aerial sensing, (3) weather, sea and river forecasts, carrier forecasting,
(4) physical/chemical monitoring, (5) measurement of movement, and (6)
prediction of movement. With this information available to him, the OSC
can make accurate assessments concerning the land or water areas threat-
ened and can make provisions for preventing damage in critical areas.
2001.2 Surveillance prior to the reporting of a spill is that required
to detect the presence of oil or hazardous substances uncontrolled in the
environment so that appropriate action can be taken.
2002 Preplanning
2002.1 Introduction Preplanning or preparedness to react to any spill
requires a coordinated readiness posture on the part of the concerned
agencies. Each Plan should incorporate those requirements for surveillance
necessary to the individual areas.
2002.2 Surveillance preplanning includes determination of need, deter-
mination of capability, making contact with those who have this capability,
determination of availability, and prior provision for response as reflected
in firm written agreements.
2002.3 Identification of Critical Areas There are two types of areas
towards which surveillance preplanning should initially be directed. The
first priority is those areas where a spill is most likely to occur as
defined by the Sub-Regional Plans. The other areas are those locations
where a spill would cause difficulty or economic loss as outlined in the
Regional Planning Annex.
2002.4 Data Among the kinds of data that should be available to the
OSC are: cTTfnatological studies and summaries, navigational and bathymetric
charts, tide and current tables (including data for rivers), physical
and chemical characteristics not caused by pollutant, and relation of
pollution to eco-systerns. When it is determined that environmental data
are inadequate, the OSC will request that the gaps be filled.
-------
2002.5 Basic Environmental Data The responsibility for having the
basic environmental data rests with each echelon under the National
Plan. For the Sub-Regions, this rests with the OSC designated. The
kinds of data and the means of obtaining them are included herein.
2003 Mon i to ri n g/P re di cti on
2003.1 Techniques A variety of monitoring and observation techniques
are available and have been tried in examining the extent, dynamics, and
effects of an oil spill. These include visual observations on the ground,
from the shore, surface craft, or aircraft, and photographic methods or
other more sophisticated remote sensing techniques from low and high
flying aircraft. Additionally, there are remote sensing capabilities
from satellites.
2003.1-1 Observations from Aircraft The primary value of
visual observation from aircraft is the capability for covering
large areas quickly in the initial stages of a spill. Experi-
ence indicates that there is a tendency to map the extent of an
oil spill without an adequate description of open-water areas
within mapped limits. This leads to over-estimates of the
volume of oil that has been released and can initiate adverse
reactions.
2003.1-2 Airborne Imagery The most important procedures that
have been learned to date are:
(a) When they can be obtained, photographs provide
a permanent record. Accurately locate the aircraft
when the photograph is taken. Location can be accom-
plished by including known land areas in each photograph
and/or by tracking the aircraft by radar. Other
navigational aids could be used, where appropriate.
(b) Use cameras and filter systems with the best
possible response for the conditions being photographed.
(c) For oil spills, use photographic techniques that
are capable or designed to photograph the sun glint on
the water. Mosaics made up of the sun glint will provide
very detailed information on the extent and distribution
of the oil.
(d) Ultra-violet imagery techniques are available. The
wave lengths near 0.35 microns are useful to show the
extent of oil.
(e) Particularly promising is the airborne use of both
active and passive radar. The first method is very
-------
sensitive to the change of wave slope that occurs be-
cause of the influence of oil. The second is sensitive
to temperature changes. Both could possibly be calibrated
for oil thickness. These methods should be par-
ticularly valuable because they are opeVable under
essentially all weather conditions.
(f) Thermal infrared (8 to 14u) is useful in the
immediate vicinity of a spill provided thermal
differences exist between the pollutant and surface
water or if water of a different temperature has
been brought to the surface.
2003.1-3 Other Hazardous Materials Many potentially hazardous
materials are soluble and much more difficult to detect than
oil. Fluorescent tracers, dyes, and Fraunhofer line discriminator
monitoring capabilities are available. These techniques allow
mapping of the rate of movement, dispersion and relative concen-
tration. This capability would be of special significance when
soluble hazardous materials are spilled into rivers Jakes, and
estuaries where dilution rates may be slow.
2003.1-4 Plotting Consistent plotting is necessary for moni-
toring of the spill, prediction of its movement and for record
purposes. It should be done by the same team on the same
plotting scheme. The OSC will assign local responsibility
for plotting.
2004 Operational
2004.1 Operational requirements for surveillance will be dependent on
the circumstances surrounding each spill and must be evaluated in the
same manner as other response requirements. Such factors as type and
quantity of material, location, apparent direction and speed of movement,
proximity to critical water use areas, and availability of response re-
sources should be considered. Even after a determination is made that a
surveillance response is required, it will be necessary to determine the
type, extent and duration of the surveillance coverage. This will have
to be constantly reevaluated as the situation progresses. The following
sections contain some general guidelines that should be considered when
determining surveillance needs. These should not be considered as limit-
ing, but should be used as a planning base.
2004.2 In minor spills, normally, special surveillance activity will
not be required. However, during other spills, although they may not
reach major proportions, considerable special surveillance capability
may be required. Regional planning should determine what information is
presently available to assist in predicting behavior and carrying out
other surveillance functions. Arrangements should be made to obtain this
information for the Regional and Sub-Regional Response Centers, as approp-
riate.
-------
2004.3 The surveillance activity associated with a medium or major
spill will take two distinct aspects. These are: (1) determination
of the coverage, and (2) prediction of future action. Although there
are two separate aspects of the problem, many of the parameters deter-
mined during one phase are utilized in the other phase.
2004.4 The initial function of surveillance will be assessment of the
actual threat. In many situations this function will be combined and
accomplished during the initial surveillance sortie. This function
will provide the OSC with information as to the degree of further re-
sponse activity required, including the need for additional surveillance.
2004.5 During the incident it will be necessary to monitor the situation.
This will consist of tracking and plotting. This tracking and plotting
may be required on a continuous basis or may be periodically accomplished,
depending on the degree of threat. Plots should be labeled and retained
in sequence, together with the available meteorological and oceanographic
data to permit appropriate review and study to assist in the long-range
determination of the behavior of oil on water.
2004.6 Information obtained during monitoring operations is of limited
value unless movement prediction can be made from them. Generally, it
will be necessary to estimate the movement of the pollutant. There will
be made available to the National Response Team, the Regional Response
Teams, and the pre-designated OSC, a compilation of the latest empirical
relationships for pollutant movements--for example, the movement of an
oil slick relative to the windflow. Until such compilation is available,
tests and experience have shown that movement of the oil at approximately
3% of the wind velocity may be used as a rule of thumb.
2004.7 The N0AA National Weather Service Offices prepare routinely
several times daily 24 to 36 hour forecasts of weather and wind for areas
of about an average state. These will usually be available at all of the
Regional Response Centers. River flow predictions are also issued routinely.
2004.8 A forecast office will have additional information, either permit-
ting more detail in the prediction, taking into account, for instance, local
topography, or information concerning a longer range prediction. All Weather
Service Offices operate 24 hours daily, seven days a week, and are available
for immediate response for weather information.
2004.9 The Weather Service contact at the Regional level will make gen-
eral arrangements for special data and forecasts, for wind, sea-state, and
river flow, as appropriate. This may be by telephone, teletypewriter cir-
cuits, radio or some combination. If considered necessary or helpful, and
resources are available, a forecast specialist will proceed to the incident
and report to the OSC staff assistant during the period of the emergency.
This on-scene support may include a mobile unit.
-------
2004.10 Carrier predictions will serve as the base for material pre-
dictions. In the absence of wind, movement is with the surface current.
Energy coupling, involving wind an current movements, is essential to
know for these predictions also. The OSC will make the estimate of the
carrier movement based on all available data.
2004.11 If specific capabilities or other agency environmental prediction
programs are required because of the area or unusual conditions, and if
requested by the OSC, the Weather Service will be prepared to coordinate
the prediction efforts.
2004.12 Spills of Hazardous Substances Surveillance activity during a spill
assumes even greater importance when the material is hazardous matter other
than oil. Here the surveillance function is more difficult, however.
Behavior of many of the possible products that can be involved is not as
well understood as the behavior of oil. This problem can be further compounded
since many of the substances will not be amenable to visual or electronic
detection techniques.
2004.13 Materials that are soluble or emulsify in water will probably
be affected primarily by subsurface currents. It will be necessary to
sample periodically with suitable techniques to determine if the predic-
tive movement corresponds to the actual movement. In some cases it may be
advantageous to add a trace element to the waterway, since many elements
may be difficult to trace through direct sampling techniques. Prediction
of carrier movement should be accomplished in the preplanning phases,
since it will probably not be possible to compile accurate predictions
within a suitable time frame during actual incident.
2004.14 Materials that are non-soluble in water or otherwise precipitate
and sink as solids will seldom travel far from the point at which they
sank, even in relatively high currents. The main problem in this case
will be actually locating the material. This might be accomplished by
bottom sampling, underwater search, either visual or magnetic, or dragging.
When located, and if required, the limit of the spill should be marked by
suitable buoys.
2004.15 Non-soluble materials that float should be handled in the same
fashion as oil.
2004.16 Because of the diversity of characteristics of these and other
materials, it may be necessary to modify these general procedures to meet
particular situations. The same general principles should be applied,
however. Adequate, timely data--in a form that can be used--is a first
priority requirement.
-------
FEDERAL CAPABILITIES
APPENDIX I
ANNEX X
-------
Environmental Protection Agency
The Regional EPA Office does not maintain cleanup equipment.
During a major spill, the primary source of equipment and materials
would be secured through contract agreements with private contractors
and suppliers. An up-to-date inventory of oil cleanup equipment and
materials within the Region is located in Annex XVIII.
Laboratory services are available through the EPA Regional Office
for the analysis of samples taken during a spill.
-------
U. S. Coast Guard
The Thirteenth Coast Guard District equipment capabilities,
manpower available, and potential involvement, both technically and
legally, in any major pollution incident for inclusion in the Regional
Contingency Plan, are listed below:
1. Personnel and equipment available to deal with a major pollution
incident:
a. Rescue Coordination Center, Seattle.
This operations center, located at the office of the Commander,
Thirteenth Coast Guard District is available for use as the regional
Operations Center (ROC) and is so recommended. All of the necessary
communications are available for contact with the Joint Operations Cen-
ter (JOC) in Washington, with other responsible agencies in the region
and with all Coast Guard 13th District field units afloat or ashore.
This rescue coordination center is manned 24 hours a day, seven days a
week, and without augmentation can carry out initial notification and
alerting procedures. Sufficient physical space is available for
augmenting members of the Regional Operations Team (ROT).
b. Captain-of-the-Port Officers
Two are in existence in this region, one at Seattle,
Washington, and one at Portland, Oregon. Captains-of-the-Port
have local authority under the law to control water-borne traffic,
close ports, etc., and therefore are particularly suited for desig-
nation as On-Scene-Coordinators (OSC). When required by the Regional
Plan to provide an OSC, the 13th Coast Guard District will undoubtedly
make maximum possible use of COTP's for this duty. Each Captain-of-
the-Port has several radio-equipped patrol boats and vehicles which
could be made available for pollution incidents occurring in the
Portland and Seattle areas. Also, each COTP has a small staff of
officers and a limited radio communications capability in the medium
and FM bands. Manpower other than above is very limited. In the case
of the Portland COTP, a small Aids to Navigation Station at Kennewick,
Washington is under his operational control.
c. Bases
Two bases, one at Seattle, Washington, and one at Astoria,
Oregon, exist. However, their capability to combat pollution is
limited due to a low manning level. Each station does have several
vehicles.
d. Coast Guard Group Offices
Each group office has a group commander with a small staff
-------
(4-6 people) and is charged with the operational control of Coast
Guard units assigned to the group. Each group has the capability
of communicating with the Coast Guard rescue coordination center in
Seattle and with all units assigned to the group. Each unit within
a group is suitable as an on-the-scene command post for use in the
event of a pollution incident.
(1) Group Port Angeles. Office located at CG Air Station,
Port Angeles, Washington.
(a) CG Air Station Port Angeles. Amphibious type
aircraft, helicopters and radio-equipped patrol boats are available.
In all probability, at least one aircraft and one patrol boat could
be made available for use in pollution incidents.
(b) CG Station Quillayute, Lapush, Washington.
(c) CG Station Neah Bay, Washington. One radio-
equipped boat (lifeboat type) and one vehicle would be available at
each location.
(2) Group Astoria. Office located at CG Air Station,
Astoria, Oregon.
(a) CG Air Station Astoria. Helicopters are stationed
(b) CG Station Grays Harbor, Westport, Washington.
(c) CG Station Willapa, Tokeland, Washington.
(d) CG Station Cape Disappointment, Ilwaco, Washington.
(e) CG Station Tillamook, Garibaldi, Oregon. One manned,
radio-equipped boat (lifeboat type) and one vehicle could be made available
at each station.
(3) Group Coos Bay. Office located at CG Station Coos Bay,
Oregon
(a) CG Stat
(b) CG Stat-
(c) CG Stat
(d) CG Stat
on Depoe Bay, Depoe Bay, Oregon.
on Yaquina Bay, Newport, Oregon.
on Siuslaw River, Florence, Oregon.
on Umpqua River, Winchester, Oregon.
(e) CG Station Coos Bay, Charleston, Oregon.
(f) CG Station Coquille River, Bandon, Oregon.
-------
(g) CG Station Chetco River, Brookings, Oregon. One manned
radio-equipped boat (lifeboat type) and one vehicle could be made available
at each station.
e. Mobile Radio Station. One vehicle-mounted mobile radio station
stored at Seattle is available for dispatch to the scene of a pollution
incident.
f. 82" Patrol Boats and one Harbor Tug. These vessels are
stationed at strategic locations within the Strait of Juan de Fuca and
in Puget Sound. One vessel in all probability could be made available
and could serve as an on-scene-command post in the event of a pollution
incident.
g. Buoy Tenders. Several CG buoy tenders are stationed in the
region. In the event of a pollution incident, one tender possibly
could be committed.

Annex XI
2100 NON-FEDERAL INTERESTS AND SCIENTIFIC RESPONSE
2100 General Policy
2101.1 The policy of the Federal government is to respond to those
spills in which cleanup is required and in which adequate action is
not being taken by the responsible party or other entity.
2110 Planning and Preparedness
2110.1 The planning and preparedness functions incorporated in this
Plan also apply to non-Federal resources. The State and local govern-
ment and private interests are encouraged to participate in the planning
and preparedness functions.
2110.2 State and local governments are encouraged to incorporate the
pollution spill Contingency Plan into existing emergency planning.
2120 Commitment
2120.1 Inventories of response personnel and other resources should
be obtained from State and local governments, and where possible, firm
commitments should be obtained. (These resources should be fully
detailed in the Sub-Regional Contingency Plans.
2120.2 It is anticipated that Federal resources would only be used if
the response requirements exceed the State and local capabilities.
Whenever Federal resources are required, the predesignated OSC would be
available to offer advice.
2130 Volunteers
2130.1 Volunteers desiring to assist in the response effort may present
themselves and offer assistance. The EPA policy regarding this possibility
will be formulated in the near future.
2140 Scientific Response
2140.1 The scientific community can gather valuable information during
spill situations. Liaison should be established and maintained with the
various institutions within each Sub-Region, continuously. The types of
spills in which they would be interested and the method of alerting their
community when appropriate, should be determined and kept up to date.
-------
2140.2 In all oil or hazardous material spills, plans will provide for
assembling, separate from the operating element, a group of ecologists,
environmmental scientists, engineers, economists, and others with relevant
expertise in the areas concerned. This group of scientific experts will
advise the Regional Response Team and recommend actions for appropriate
studies and analysis to assess the effects of the spill. Identifying
such a group of experts prepared to respond quickly will increase the
chances that their advice will be available and that the important
information will be gathered.

(As a general rule-of-thumb use 6.5 barrels or 250 gallons
per ton of oil.)
2503.13 CRUDE OIL: Petroleum as it is extracted from the earth. There
may be several thousands of different substances in crude oil some of
which evaporate quickly, while others persist indefinitely. The physical
characteristics of crude oils may vary widely. Crude oils are often
identified in trade jargon by their regions of origin. This identification
may not relate to the apparent physical characteristics of the oil. Com-
mercial gasoline, kerosene, heating oils, diesel oils, lubricating oils,
waxes, and asphalts are all obtained by refining crude oil.
2503.14 DEMULSIDILITY: The resistance of an oil to emulsification, or
the ability of an oil to separate from any water whith which it is mixed.
The better the demulsibility rating, the more quickly the oil separates
from water.
-------
2503.15 DENSITY: Density is the term meaning the mass of a unit volume.
Its numerical expression varies with the units selected.
2503.16 EMULSION: A mechanical mixture of two liquids which do not
naturally mix as oil and water. Water -in-oil emulsions have the water
as the internal phase and oil as the external. Oil-in-water emulsions
have water as the external phase and the internal phase is oil.
2503.17 FIRE POINT: The lowest temperature at which an oil vaporizes
rapidly enough to burn for at least 5 seconds after ignition, under
standard conditions.
2503.18 FLASH POINT: The lowest temperature at which an oil gives off
sufficient vapor to form a mixture which will ignite, under standard
condi tions.
2503.19 FRACTION: Refinery term for a product of fractional distilation
having a restricted boiling range.
2503.20 FUEL OIL GRADE: Numerical ratings ranging from 1 to 6. The
lower the grade number, the thinner the oil is and more easily it
evaporates. A high number indicates a relatively thick, heavy oil.
No. 1 and 2 fuel oils are usually used in domestic heaters, and the
others are used by industry and ships. No. 5 and 6 oils are solids which
must be liquefied by heating. Kerosene, coal oil, and range oil are all
No. 1 oil. No. 3 fuel oil is no longer used as a standard term.
2503.21 INNAGE: Space occupied in a product container.
2503.22 IN PERSONAM: An action in personam is instituted against an
individual, usually through the personal service of process, and may
result in the imposition of a liability directly upon the person of a
defendant.
2503.23 IN REM: An action in rem is one in which the vessel or thing
itself is treated as offender and made defendant without any proceeding
against the owners or even mentioning their names. The decree in an
action in rem is enforced directly against the res by a condemnation and
sale thereof.
2503.24 LOAD ON TOP: A procedure for ballasting and cleaning unloaded
tankers without discharging oil. Half of the tanks are first filled with
seawater while the others are cleaned by hosing. Then oil from the cleaned
tanks, along with oil which has separated out in the full tanks, is pumped
into a single slop tank. The clean water in the full tanks is then dis-
charged while the freshly-cleaned tanks are filled with seawater. Ballast
is thus constantly maintained.
-------
2503.25 OIL FILMS: A slick thinner than .0001 inch and may be classified
as follows:

Note: Each one-inch thickness of oil equals 5.61 gallons per square
yard or 17,378,709 gallons per square mile.
2503.26 OUTAGE: Space left in a product container to allow for expansion
during temperature changes it may undergo during shipment and use. Measure-
ment of space not occupied.
2503.27 pH: Term used to express the apparent acidity or alkalinity of
aqueous solutions; values below 7 indicate acid solutions and values above
7 indicate alkaline solutions.
2503.28 POUR POINT: The lowest temperature at which an oil will flow or
can be poured under specified conditions of test.
2503.29 RESIDUAL OIL: A general term used to indicate a heavy viscous
fuel oi 1.
2503.30 SCUPPERS: Openings around the deck of a vessel which allow
water falling onto the deck to flow overboard. Should be plugged during
fuel transfer.
2503.31 SLUDGE OIL: Muddy impurities and acid which have settled
from an oi
2503.32 SPECIFIC GRAVITY: The ratio of the weight of a given volume
of the material at a stated temperature to the weight of an equal volume
of distilled water at a stated temperature.
-------
2503.33 SPONTANEOUS IGNITION TEMPERATURE (S.I.T.); The temperature
at which an oil ignites of its own accord iri the presence of air oxygen
under standard conditions.
2503.34 STOKE: The unit of kinematic viscosity.
2503.35 TONNAGE: There are various tonnages applied to merchant ships.
The one commonly implied is gross tonnage, although in these days tankers
and other bulk-carriers are often referred to in terms of deadweight.
2503.35-1 Gross tonnage 100 cubic feet of permanently en-
closed space is equal to one gross ton—nothing whatever to
do with weight. This is usually the registered tonnage, al-
though it may vary somewhat according to the classifying
authority or nationality.
2503.35-2 Net tonnage The earning capacity of a ship.
The gross tonnage after deduction of certain spaces, such as
engine and boiler rooms, crew accommodation, stores, equip-
ment, etc. Port and harbor dues are based on this tonnage.
2503.35-3 Displacement tonnage The actual weight in tons,
varying according to whether a vessel is in light or loaded
condition. Warships are always spoken of by this form of
measurement.
2503.35-4 Deadweight tonnage The actual weight in tons of
cargo, stores, etc. required to bring a vessel down to her load
line, from the light condition. Cargo deadweight is, as its
name implies, the actual weight in tons of the cargo when
loaded, as distinct from stores, ballast, ect.
2503.36 ULLAGE: The amount which a tank or vessel lacks of being full,
(see also OUTAGE)
2503.37 VISCOSITY: The property of liquids which causes them to resist
instantaneous change of shape, or instantaneous rearrangement of their
parts, due to internal friction. The resistance which the particles of
a liquid offer to a force tending to move them in relation to each other.
Viscosity of oils is usually expressed as the number of seconds at a
definite temperature required for a standard quantity of oil to flow
through a standard apparatus.
2503.38 VISCOUS: Thick, resistant to flow having a high viscosity.
2503.39
VOLATILE: Evaporates easily.

Annex XVI
2600 SCHEDULE OF DISPERSANTS AND OTHER CHEMICALS TO TREAT OIL SPILLS
2601 General
2601.1 This schedule shall apply to the navigable waters of the United
States and adjoining shorelines, and the waters of the contiguous zone
as defined in Article 24 of the Convention on the Territorial Sea and
the Contiguous Zone.
2601.2 This schedule applies to the regulation of any chemical as here-
inafter defined that is applied to an oil spill.
2601.3 This schedule advocates development and utilization of mechanical
and other control methods that will result in removal of oil from the
environment with subsequent proper disposal.
2601.4 Relationship of the Environmental Protection Agency with other
Federal agencies and State agencies in implementing this schedule: in
those States with more stringent laws, regulations or written policies
for regulation of chemical use, such State laws, regulations, or written
policies shall govern. This schedule will apply in those states that
have not adopted such laws, regulations or written policies.
2602 Definitions
Substances applies to an oil spill are defined as follows:
2602.1 Collecting agents - include chemicals or other agents that can
gel 1, sorb, congeal, herd, entrap, fix, or make the oil mass more rigid
or viscous in order to facilitate surface removal of oil.
2602.2 Sinking agents - are those chemical or other agents that can
physically sink oil below the water surface.
2602.3 Dispersing agents - are those chemical agents or compounds which
emulsify, disperse or solubilize oil into the water column or act to
further the surface spreading of oil slicks in order to facilitate dis-
persal of the oil into the water column.
2603 Collecting Agents
Collecting agents are considered to be generally acceptable,
providing these materials do not in themselves or in combination with
the oil increase the pollution hazard.
-------
2604 Sinking Agents
Sinking agents may be used only in marine waters exceeding
100 meters in depth where currents are not predominately onshore, and
only if other control methods are judged by EPA to be inadequate or
not feasible.
2605 Authorities Controlling Use of Dispersants
2605.1 Regional response team activated: dispersants may be used in
any place, at any Lime, and in quantities designated by the on-scene
coordinator, when their use will:
2605.1-1 In the judgment of the 0SC, prevent or substantially
reduce hazard to human life or limb or substantial hazard of
fire to property;
2605.1-2 In the judgment of EPA, in consultation with appropriate
State agencies, prevent or reduce substantial hazard to a major
segment of the population(s) of vulnerable species of waterfowl;
and,
2605.1-3 In the judgment of EPA, in consultation with appropriate
State agencies, result in the least overall environmental damage,
or interference with designated uses.
2605.2 Regional response team not activated: provisions of Section 2605.
1-1 shall apply. The use of dispersants in any other situation shall be
subject to this schedule, except in States where state laws, regulations,
or written policies that govern the prohibition, use, quantity, or type
of dispersant are in effect. In such States, the State laws, regulations,
or written policies shall be followed during the cleanup operation.
2606 Interim Restrictions on Use of Dispersants for Pollution Control
Purposes
Except as noted in 2605.1, dispersants shall not be used:
2606.1 On any distillate fuel oil;
2606.2 On any spill of oil less than 200 barrels in quantity;
2606.3 On any shoreline;
2606.4 In any waters less than 100 feet deep;
2606.5 In any waters containing major populations, or breeding or passage
areas for species of fish or marine life which may be damaged or rendered
commercially less marketable by exposure to dispersant or dispersed oil;
2606.6 In any waters where winds and/or currents are of such velocity and
direction that dispersed oil mixtures would likely, in the judgment of EPA,
be carried to shore areas within 24 hours; or
-------
2606.7 In any waters where such use may affect surface water supplies.
2607 Dispersant Use Dispersants may be used in accordance with this
schedule if other control methods are judged to be inadequate or infeas-
ible, and if:
2607.1 Information has been provided to EPA, in sufficient time prior to
its use for review by EPA, on its toxicity, effectiveness, and oxygen
demand determined by the standard procedures published by EPA. (Prior to
publication by EPA of standard procedures, no dispersant shall be applied,
except as noted in Section 2605.1-1 in quantities exceeding 5 ppm in the
upper 3 feet of the water column during any 24-hour period. This amount
is equivalent to 5 gallons per acre per 24 hours); and if:
2607.2 Applied during any 24-hour period in quantities not exceeding the
96 hour TL^g of the most sensitive species tested as calculated in the top
foot of the water column. The maximum volume of chemical permitted, in
gallons per acre per 24 hours, shall be calculated by multiplying the 96-
hour TLcq value of the most sensitive species tested, in ppm, by 0.33;
except that in no case, except as noted in Section 2605.1-1, will the daily
application rate of chemical exceed 540 gallons per acre or one-fifth of
the total volume spilled, whichever quantity is smaller.
2607.3 Dispersant containers are labeled with the following information:
2607.3-1 Name, brand or trademark, if any, under which the
chemical is sold;
2607.3-2 Name and address of the manufacturer, importer or
vendor;
2607.3-3 Flash point;
2607.3-4 Freezing or pour point;
2607.3-5 Viscosity;
2607.3-6 Recommend application procedure(s), concentration(s),
and conditions for use as regards to water salinity, water
temperature, and types and ages of oils; and
2607.3-7 Date of production and shelf life.
2607.4 Information to be supplied to EPA on the:
2607.4-1 Chemical name and percentage of each component;
2607.4-2 Concentrations of potentially hazardous trace materials,
including, but not necessarily being limited to, lead, chromium,
zinc, arsenic, mercury, nickel, copper, or chlorinated hydrocarbons;
-------
2607.4-3 Description of analytical methods used in determining
chemical characteristics outlined in 2607.4-1 and 2607.4-2 above;
2607.4-4 Methods for analyzing the chemical in fresh and salt
water are provided to EPA or reasons why such analytical methods
cannot be provided; and
2607.4-5 For purposes of research and development, EPA may
authorize use of dispersants in specified amounts and locations
under controlled conditions irrespective of the provisions of this
schedule.
*N0TE:
In addition to those agents defined and described in Section 2607 above,
the following materials which are not a part of this Schedule, with cautions
on their use, should be considered:
1. Biological agents - those bacteria and enzymes isolated, grown,
and produced for the specific purpose of encouraging or speeding
biodegradation to mitigate the effects of a spill. Biological
agents shall be used to treat spills only when such use is approved
by the appropriate state and local public health and water pollution
control officials.
2. Burning agents - are those materials which, through physical
or chemical means, improve the combustibility of the materials to
which they are applied. Burning agents may be used and are acceptable
so long as they do not in themselves, or in combination with
the material to which they are applied, increase the pollution
hazard and their use is approved by appropriate Federal, State,
and local fire prevention officials.

1200 NOTIFICATION AND REPORTING
1201 General
1201.1 The requirements for notification and reporting of spillage are
dependent on the degree of severity of the spill. There are a number of
factors that must be taken into account when determining the severity,
including the reliability of the reporting source, the location, the
quantity and type of material, and the proximity and nature of adjoining
critical water use areas. Considering the degree of severity, the spill
should be classified as either minor, medium, or major spill. This
initial classification will be used to determine notification procedures
until the degree of severity can be confirmed. All spills occurring on
inland waters shall be immediately reported to the USCG District Office,
Juneau, or any COTP or USCG station to activate the Central Reporting
Network and also to allow preparation of the resources necessary to meet
the emergency should it reach coastal or tidal waters.
1202 Notification Requirements
1202.1 Initial notification would be accomplished by telephone or teletype.
Teletypes should be in the P0LREP format (See Annex V). Normally, the
agencies receiving initial notification would receive subsequent POLREP's
pertaining to the case.
1202.2 Minor Spills The 0SC should report all minor spills to the
Regional Response Center or Sub-Regional Response Center, as appropriate.
This may be accomplished by P0LREP ONE AND FINAL. If local government
cleanup action is required, cognizant officials should be notified. The
RRC or SRC should notify the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Regional
Administrator daily of reports of minor spills with a P0LREP ONE AND FINAL,
summarizing the various cases.
1202.3 Medium Spills The OSC should report all medium spills or potential
medium spills to the Regional Response Center or Sub-Regional Response
Center, as appropriate. This should be accomplished as soon as practical
by teletype or telephone. The RRC or SRC should notify the EPA Regional
Administrator of all reports of medium spills as soon as possible using tele-
type or telephone, whichever is appropriate. Further notification will be
accomplished by the EPA Regional Administrator as indicated by the situation.
1202.4 Major Spills The OSC should immediately report all major or
potential major spills to the Regional Response Center or Sub-Regional
Response Center, as appropriate. This should be accomplished immediately
by telephone and verified by teletype. The RRC or SRC should immediately
notify the RRT and NRC by telephone of all reports of major or potential
major spills and all pollution incidents. As soon as possible, the NRT
should be advised by teletype.
-------
1203 National Level Telephonic Notification
1203.1 During working hours, the NRC should be notified by contacting
U. S. Coast Guard Headquarters, Washington, D. C. After hours and on
weekends and holidays, the NRC should be notified by contacting the Duty
Officer, U. S. Coast Guard Headquarters, Washington, D. C.
1203.2 Telephone notification received by the NRC will be evaluated by
the Coast Guard member of the NRT. Notification of the remainder of the
NRT will be accomplished by the Coast Guard member of the NRT if considered
appropriate. Message reports to the NRT will be addressed as indicated in
Section 1552.
1204 Notification of the RRT shall follow the general sequence as out-
lined in the Plan of Response, Appendix II.
1205 The 0SC shall notify representatives of the Primary Federal
and State agencies through the Coast Guard central reporting network.
This network isactivated by calling the Coast Guard Duty Officer, 17th
CGD, Juneau or the Captain of the Port or any Coast Guard Station. Whenever
a spill is located from an aircraft the report can be forwarded through any
FAA Flight Service Station to the Coast Guard.
When an inland spill is reported to have occurred upon or determined
to be a threat to State water, EPA will directly notify the Alaska Department
of Environmental Conservation (ADEC). EPA will directly notify the Federal
agency or agencies having operational jurisdiction in a spill situation which
occurs on land or inland water under federal jurisdiction. Appendix II
outlines the reporting procedure and Appendix I lists the agencies and
specific persons who may be called depending on the spill situation.
1206 State and Local Officials
The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC), will
be responsible for notifying all State government agencies having interest
or jurisdiction. In the event the spill is within the capability of the
State to handle without the assistance of the Federal government, ADEC
will coordinate all response actions undertaken by State or public agencies,
private companies and local groups including contractors.
ADEC will be the State agency which coordinates between EPA
aand all other State, local agencies and private organizations.
The first State agency official on scene will be the person
EPA will recognize as the 0SC for the State of Alaska until relieved by
a cognizant member of the Department of Environmental Conservation or
their designee.
1206.1 Development of State and_Loca1 Plans
EPA will work through the State of Alaska, Department of
Environmental Conservation to assist in developing State, local and
private company plans and to develop equipment and resource inventories
to the extent that they will complement the Inland Sub-Regional Plan for
Alaska.
-------
Should the State of Alaska develop a contingency plan, this
plan will become a part of the Sub-Regional Plan.
Local, private, and oil industry contingency plans will become
a part of the Sub-Regional Plan as developed and would supplement the
equipment and resources already indentified herein.
Should funds ever be allocated by the State of Alaska for
spill contingencies, these funds will be administered according to
any enabling legislation enacted. The agency designated would have
direct responsibility for their allocations. EPA would remain in an
advisory position and assist the State upon request with technical
assistance and funds when appropriate.
1207 Situation Report Requirements
1207.1 Timely information on a spill, including the situation and response
activities, is essential to the proper evaluation of the case. This infor-
mation should be submitted in the POLREP format.
1207.2 Minor spills would normally be reported by the OSC in POLREP
ONE AND FINAL. See Section 1202.2
1207.3 The OSC should submit timely POLREP's to the RRC or SRC on all
medium or major spills. The RRC or SRC is responsible for keeping the
RRT advised. The RRT shall submit timely POLREP's by double heading the
OSC's POLREP's or by originating POLREP's by the team or a member of the
team.
1208 Administrative Report Requirements
1208.1 At the conclusion of Federal activity resulting from a pollution
spill, the OSCs involved will, pursuant to applicable instructions of
their own agencies, submit a complete report of the incident and the
actions taken. Copies will be furnished to the NRT or RRT, as appropriate,
together with any other pertinent information available. The NRT will then
evaluate each incident and will make appropriate recommendations if necessary.
1208.2 In addition to the report required for pollution incidents, an.v
spill which indicates a need for amendment to the plans, introduces new
control techniques, or is otherwise of widespread interest, should be
documented and reported to the RRT and/or NRT.
1208.3 The primary purpose of these reports is for evaluating control
techniques and Federal response activities. Lengthy narrative not re-
quired for an understanding of the problems or recommendations need not
be included. Sufficient descriptive information should, however, be
included to permit full evaluation of the report.

1300 REGIONAL RESPONSE CENTER
1301. Regional Response Center (RRC)
1301.1 The RRC for inland waters will be located at the EPA Office,
Seattle, Washington. On-scene locations will be the nearest available
station where air transportation and communications facilities are
available. Unless a major spill occurs which would require activation
of the RRC in Seattle, spills will normally be coordinated by EPA, A00,
Anchorage.
1301.2 First consideration shall be given to locating the on-scene
station as closely as possible to the problem. If adequate facilities
are not available at the site of the spill, the closest possible location
with the required facilities shall be chosen. An EPA field team will then
be located on-scene, thereby requiring three centers of operation: the EPA,
RRC in Seattle, the second level center at Anchorage, and the field center
at the site.
1302 Sub-Regional Response Center
1302.1 The Sub-Regional Response Center for Alaska will be located at
the EPA, Alaska Operations Office, Anchorage. Depending on the location of
the spill, centers such as USCG stations and other strategic locations
may be used.

Annex VI
1600 PUBLIC INFORMATION
1600 Public Information Center
A central information office will be established at the
Regional Operations Center to disseminate information to news media
which is accurate and the latest information available on circumstances
regarding the spill. All agency representatives should take steps to
assure that the central press office is immediately informed of all
developments. The Regional Information Officer, Region X, EPA, will
be in charge of the central press office.
1601 Introduction
1601.1 When a major national pollution incident occurs, it is impera-
tive that the public be provided promptly with accurate information on
the nature of the incident and what steps are being taken to correct the
problem. This policy must be followed to obtain understanding from the
public, ensure cooperation from all interested parties, and to check the
spread of misinformation. National Administration policy and the Freedom
of Information Act both call for maximum disclosure of information.
1602 National News Office
1602.1 When the NRT is activated, the team chairman will contact the
most appropriate Primary Agency and ask it to detail a professional
information officer to establish and direct a National News Office.
Requests by the Director of the National News Office for an appropriate
number of professional and clerical assistances will be met by one or
more of the Primary Agencies.
1602.2 The Director of the National News Office will be responsible
for overall supervision of public information activities. While the
Director of the Regional News Office will have considerable freedom in
responding to news inquiries, he will work under the direction of the
Director of National News Office. The closest possible coordination
will be maintained between the National News Office in Washington and the
Regional News Office.
1602.3 Promptly after his designation, the Director of the National
News Office will contact the White House Press Office and the Office of
the Director of Communications for the Federal Government to arrange
whatever information assistance may be required by these offices.
1602.4 All written news releases involving major policy considerations
will be cleared by the Chairman of the NRT or in his absence the Vice-
Chairman. Situation reports and other factual releases will not require
formal clearance.
-------
1602.5 The Director of the National News Office will have free access
to meetings of the NRT and will be consulted on the possible public re-
action to the courses of action under consideration by the NRT.
1602.6 At appropriate intervals, the Director of the National News
Office may arrange news conferences at which the Chairman of the NRT,
the OSC, or other informed officials will make progress reports and re-
spond to questions from the media representatives.
1602.7 The Director of the National News Office will keep appropriate
press offices posted on developments. These include the press offices
of the Secretaries or Director of the Primary Agencies to the National
Contingency Plan; Governors, Senators, and Representatives whose States
or Districts are affected by the incident; and, the Mayor and other
responsible local officials in affected communities.
1602.8 As long as public interest warrants, at least one written news
release a day or status report will be issued by the National News Office
and the Regional News Office reporting progress in controlling the inci-
dent and other developments.
1602.9 The National News Office will be provided with adequate space,
telephones, typewriters, communications equipment and other supplies by
the U. S. Coast Guard at U. S. Coast Guard Headquarters, Washington, D. C.,
where the NRC is housed. The Director of the National News Office will
determine what equipment and supplies are needed to ensure an orderly
flow of information and to accommodate visiting members of the news
media.
1603 Regional News Office
1603.1 When an RRT declares a pollution incident, the Chairman will
contact the most appropriate agency and ask it to detail a professional
public information officer to establish and direct a Regional News Office.
The Regional News Office should be set up at or near the location where
the OSC is stationed. Requests by the Director of the Regional News
Office for appropriate professional and clerical assistance will be met
by one or more of the Primary Agencies.
1603.2 The Director of the Regional News Office will follow the pro-
cedures outlined above for the Director of National News Office in
contacting the press offices of State and local officials, in arranging
appropriate public Information liaison with industries and other con-
cerned interests, and in issuing at least a daily written news release.
1603.3 All news releases involving major policy considerations will
be cleared by the Chairman of the RRT or in his absence, the Executive
Secretary. Situation reports and other factual releases will not require
formal clearance.
-------
1603.4 The Director of the Regional News Office will have free access
to meetings; of the RRT and should be consulted on the possible public
reaction to the courses of action under consideration by the RRT.
1603.5 The Regional News Office will be provided with adequate space,
telephones, typewriters, communications equipment, and other supplies by
the Primary Agency which is providing the headquarters for the RRT. The
Director of the Regional News Office will determine what equipment and
supplies are needed to ensure an orderly flow of information and to
accommodate visiting members of the news media.
1604 Washington, D. C. Public Information Contact
1604.1 If the NRT has not been activated, the Director of the Regional
News Office will ask the most appropriate Primary Agency to assign a
public information officer in Washington, D. C. to serve as a contact
point for queries made in Washington, D. C. The information officer
assigned to this task will follow the procedures outlined above for the
Director of the National News Office in contacting the press offices of
the White House and Congressional and Federal officials.
1605 Interim Public Information Director
1605.1 In the period following a spill and before a pollution incident
is declared, information activities will be directed by the public
information personnel of the same Primary Agency which will provide the
pre-designated OSC. These activities will be conducted in accordance with
the information policies of that agency.
1606 Special Public Information Procedures for Senators, Representatives,
Congressional Aides and Staff Members, White House Representatives, and
Other VIP's"
1606.1 The Director of the National News Office or the Director of the
Regional News Office will arrange, on request, to perform special public
information services for VIP's including: notifying the media of the
time, place, and purpose of the VIP visit; making press conference arrange-
ments; and, arranging for interviews with the VIP by interested members of
the media.
1607.1 Special Public Information Procedures for Salesmen
1607.1 Public information officers assigned to pollution spills will
refer salesmen to technical personnel designated to evaluate their wares.
1608. Special Public Information Procedures for the General Public
1608.1 In responding to queries from the general public, public infor-
mation officers will advise the callers or arrange to have the callers
advised on what the latest press release has reported.
-------
1609 Special Information Procedures for the General Public
1609.1 After the crisis has subsided, a model letter reporting on the
situation will be drafted by the public information personnel assigned
to the problem. After the model letter has been approved by the chairman
of the NRT or the RRT, copies will be sent to the Primary Agencies for
their guidance in responding to mail inquiries.
-------
Annex VII
1700 LEGAL
The legal responsibility of each participating agency as to
its legal jurisdictions will be determined within the agency. When a
major spill occurs, the legal representatives of each agency will
immediately be notified by those persons within their respective
organizations in order that legal procedures may begin with a minimum
of delsiy. Enforcement procedures will fall, primarily, under the Water
Quality Act of 1970 or the Corps of Engineers Refuse Act of 1899.
Collection of evidence during a major spill will be the responsibility
of the OSC. All agencies on the RRT will assist the OSC so all reports
and evidence can be forwarded to the U. S. Attorney's Office without
del ay.

Annex VIII
1800 ENFORCEMENT PROCEDURES
1801 Introduction
1801.1 The OSC in charge at the scene of a pollution incident may
be from any one of several agencies. Therefore it is necessary to
establish uniform procedures for notification of counsel, collection
of samples and information consistent with several phases in
Federal response situation. Necessary information and sample col-
lection must be performed at the proper times during the Federal
involvement in a spill for the purpose of later use in identifying
the party responsible, in cleanup cost recovery, damage recovery,
and civil and criminal enforcement actions under appropriate Federal
statutes. Time is of great importance since wind, tide and currents
may disperse or remove the evidence and witnesses may no longer be
available. Thus, during the phases of discovery and notification,
containment and countermeasures, cleanup and disposal, and restoration,
the OSC must take the necessary action to put counsel on notice of the
event and to ensure that information, records, and samples adequate
for legal and research purposes are obtained and safeguarded for future
use.
1802 Notification of Counsel
1802.1 Immediately upon notification that a spill has occurred, the
RRT or NRT members shall notify their respective regional and departmental
attorneys, as provided herein.
1802.2 Initial coordination of counsel will be effected by counsel of
the Department responsible for furnishing the OSC. Coordination will be
for joint and separate actions concerning legal matters regarding the
operation of the Plan, sending of notices, advice regarding the handling
of evidence, preparation of evidentiary statements, and referral of the
matter to the Justice Department or appropriate U. S. Attorney.
1802.3 The information and reports obtained by the OSC are to be
transmitted to the RRC. Copies will then be forwarded to the NRC, members
of the RRT, and others, as appropriate. The representative of the Agency
on the RRT having cost recovery or enforcement authority will then refer
copies of the pollution reports to his respective agency counsel.
1803 Legal Notice to Ship Operators and Others
1803.1 Notice to the ship or facility operator, owner, or other
responsible person indicating Federal interest and potential action
in a spill, shall be prepared and sent by the Agency responsible for
furnishing the OSC. This notice should include, among other things,
Federal statutes and regulations violated, indication of responsibility
-------
for cleanup, notice that cleanup be effected pursuant to the National
Contingency Plan and Federal regulations, identification of OSC, and
direction that response activity be coordinated with the OSC.
1804 Action to be Taken by OSC for Phase V Activities in Conjunction
With Actions in Phase I, II, and III as described in Section 400
1804.1 Investigate observed instances of oil or other hazardous sub-
stances pollution in the waters covered by the scope of this Plan.
Investigative actions may include:
1804.1-1 Request permission to enter facility or vessel
involved. The investigator should identify himself and
explain his reason for being there. In those situations
where statutory authority does not exist for entering or
boarding and if permission to enter or board is denied,
investigator should seek assistance of local U. S. Marshal.
1804.1-2 Question all persons who may be responsible for or
have knowledge of the spillage and record the name, address
and position of each witness.
1804.1-3 Furnish anyone who may be responsible for an offense
with an appropriate warning as to his rights.
1804.1-4 Obtain signed statements wherever possible indicating
where, when, and how the spill occurred and its extent.
1804.1-5 When a witness makes an oral statement but will not
give a written statement, reduce the oral statement to writing.
1804.1-6 When the source of the pollution is unknown, obtain
as much information as possible and note any suspect vessels
or facilities.
1804.2 When investigation discloses a reasonable basis to believe a
violation has occurred, collect samples of oil or hazardous polluting
substances from the water and from appropriate spaces and drainage points
of the suspected offending vessel or vessels, shore establishments, or
other sources. Collect comparative samples in unaffected water in the
vicinity of the spill.
1804.3 Samples collected are to be transmitted for analysis, using
special courier or registered mail (return receipt requested) and ob-
serving the procedures outlined below. The analytical laboratory is
the EPA oil laboratory in Redmond, Washington. Reports of laboratory
analysis will be forwarded to the appropriate RRT for transmittal to
counsel. The Chairman, RRT, will also forward copies of the laboratory
reports to NRT.
1804.4 Photographs should be taken, if possible, using color type
film. The photographs should show the source and the extent of the
-------
pollution. The following information should be recorded on the back
of each photographic print: (a) name and location of vessel or
facility; (b) date and time the photo was taken; (c) names of the
photographer and witnesses; (d) shutter speed and lens opening; and
(e) type of film used and details of film processing. (The immediate
developing type of photographic process may be of major assistance to
the less than professional photographer by allowing on-the-spot inspection
of results and "retakes" as needed to obtain an acceptable photograph.)
1804.5 If in doubt as to whether or not a particular case may be an
oil pollution or hazardous materials pollution violation, or in doubt
as to how to proceed in any given case, contact the RRT for instructions
and advice. If, however, time is a critical factor and/or the RRT has
not yet assembled, proceed as if the incident were a pollution violation.
1805 Sample Collection Procedures to be followed by OSC
1805.1 Several precautions must be observed when taking and handling
liquid samples for analysis as the character of the sample may be affected
by a number of common conditions. These precautions concern: (a) the
composition of the container; (b) cleanliness of the container; and (c)
manner in which the sample is taken.
1805.2 In taking such samples, the following procedures are to be
followed in all cases:
1805.2-1 Glass containers of one quart size are to be used.
The portion of the closure (sealing gasket or cap liner) which
may come into contact with the sample in the container is of
considerable importance. Where oil or petroleum based hydro-
carbons are to be sampled, the closure should be made of glass,
aluminum foil, or teflon. Other pollutants may require different
or special closure material and the analysis laboratory should
be consulted whenever a question arises as to the appropriateness
of any closure material.
1805.2-2 Previously unused containers are preferred. Containers
that have been cleaned with a strong detergent, thoroughly rinsed,
and dried may be used.
1805.2-3 Samples must be properly labeled.
1805.2-4 Consult with the analysis laboratory personnel relative
to special samples and unusual problems.
1804.2-5 Some explanatory notes covering the above procedures
are: (a) Glass containers always must be used because plastic
containers, with the exception of teflon, have been found in
some cases to absorb organic materials from water and in other
cases compounds have been dissolved from plastic containers;
(b) as it is desirable to take a large sample of the pollutant,
proper skimming techniques should be used to obtain a sufficient
-------
amount of oil for analysis; and (c) since it is not unusual for
a pollution condition to change rapidly, samples should be taken
in a timely fashion, and the time sequences and places noted.
1806 Chain of Custody Record
1806.1 All samples and other tangible evidence must be maintained in
proper custody until orders have been received from competent authority
directing their disposition. Precautions should be taken to protect the
samples from breakage, fire, altering and tampering. It is important
that a chain of custody of the samples be properly maintained and recorded
from the time the samples are taken until ultimate use at the trial of the
case. In this regard, a record of time, place, and the name and title of
the person taking the sample, and each person handling same thereafter
must be maintained and forwarded with the sample.
1807 Spill Pollution Report
1807,] The information for each pollution spill should be obtained
by the OSC and reported pursuant to the appropriate instructions.

Annex IX
1900 FUNDING
1901 General
1901.1 The primary thrust of this Plan is to encourage the person
responsible for a spill to take appropriate remedial actions. Usually
this will mean that the cost of containment countermeasures and cleanup
with respect to spills of oil or other hazardous substances should be
borne by the person responsible for the discharge. The OSC and other
officials associated with the handling of a spill should make substantial
effort to have the responsible person accept voluntarily this financial
responsibility.
1901.2 Actions undertaken by the Primary Agencies in response to
pollution spill emergencies shall be carried out under existing pro-
grams and authorities insofar as practicable. It is recognized, however,
that the separate agencies may have funds available specifically for
dealing with pollution and related incidents.
1901.3 It is not envisioned that any Federal agency will make resources
available, expend funds, or participate in operations in connection with
spills unless such agency can so respond in conformance with its existing
authority. Authority to expend resources will be in accordance with the
agencies basic statutes and, if required, through cross-servicing agree-
ments. This plan encourages interagency agreements whenever specific
reimbursement agreements between Federal agencies are deemed necessary
to insure that the Federal resources will be available for a timely
response to a pollution emergency.
1902 Funding Responsibility
1902.1 The funding, including reimbursement to Federal agencies, other
agencies, contractors and others, of pollution removal activities is the
responsibility of the agency providing the predesignated OSC. This fund-
ing may be provided through normal operating expense accounts of the
agency or through special funding arrangements such as the Pollution
Revolving Fund described hereinafter.
1902.2 Funding of response actions not associated with the removal
activity, such as scientific investigations, law enforcement or public
relations, is the responsibility of the agency having statutory or
executive responsibility for those specific actions.
1903 Agency Funding
1903.1 The Environmental Protection Agency can provide funds to insure
timely initiation of cleanup actions in those instances where the OSC is
an EPA representative. Funding of continuing cleanup actions, however,
will be determined on a case-by-case basis by the Headquarters Office
-------
of EPA. Inasmuch as EPA does not have funds provided for this purpose,
by statute or regulation, initiation of containment and cleanup activities
is funded out of operating program funds.
1903.2 The. U. S. Coast Guard pollution control efforts are funded under
"Operating Expenses." These funds are utilized in accordance with applic-
able Regional Plans and agency directives.
1903.3 The Department of Defense has two specific sources of funds which
may be applicable to a pollution incident under appropriate circumstances.
(This does not consider military resources which might be made available
under specific circumstances.)
1903.1-1 Funds required for removal of a sunken vessel or similar
obstruction to navigation are available to the Corps of Engineers
through Civil Functions Appropriations, Operations and Maintenance,
General.
1903.1-2 The U. S. Navy has funds available on a reimbursable
basis to conduct salvage operations.
1904 Disaster Relief Funds
1904.1 Certain pollution control response activities may qualify for
reimbursement as disaster relief functions. In making a declaration of
a major disaster for a stricken area, the President may allocate funds
from his Disaster Relief Fund, administered by the Director, Office of
Emergency Preparedness. After the President has declared a major
disaster and authorized allocation of funds, the Director may authorize
certain reimbursements to Federal agencies for disaster assistance pro-
vided under direction of his office. Applicable policies and procedures
are stated in Title 32, Chapter XVII, Part 1709, "Reimbursement of Other
Federal Agencies Performing Major Disaster Relief Functions."
1904.2 The Director may also make financial assistance available to
State Governments and through the States to local governments in accord-
ance with policies and procedures stated in Title 32, Chapter XVII, Part
1710, "Federal Disaster Assistance."
1905 Pollution Revolving Fund
1905.1 A pollution revolving fund (hereinafter referred to as the Fund)
administered by the Commandant, USCG, has been established under the pro-
visions of Section 11 of the Act. This Fund is available to pay specified
costs associated with spill response operations. Regulations governing
administration and use of the funds are contained in 33 CFR, Part 153D,
April 13, 1971.
1905.2 The Fund is available to pay the cost of removal of oil discharged
into the navigable waters and adjoining shorelines of the United States.
It is also available to pay the cost of removal of discharges of hazardous
-------
polluting substances, provided the material has been designated as a
hazardous polluting substance pursuant to Section 12(a) of the Act.
1905.3 Examples of specific costs reimbursable to a Federal agency for
spill response operations are:
1905.3-1 Costs incurred by industrial type facilities, including
charges for overhead, in accordance with the agency's industrial
accounting system;
1905.3-2 Out-of-pocket costs specifically and directly incurred
as a result of recovery activities such as:
-2.1 Travel, including transportation and per diem, when
specifically requested by the OSC.
-2.2 Supplies, materials, and minor equipment procured
specifically for response activities.
1905.4 Some limitations on use of the Fund are:
1905.4-1 Restriction of reimbursement for expenditures made for
Phase II and Phase III response actions;
1905.4-2 Personnel and equipment costs which are funded by
other appropriations and which would have been incurred during
normal operations; and
1905.4-3 Costs of surveillance activities, restoration of
damages following a spill, or investigative functions performed
in support of enforcement action or scientific documentation.
1905.5 The Commandant, USCG, will prepare and distribute detailed in-
structions to assist in determination of appropriate costs by the OSC
when available. These instructions shall be included in this Plan.
1906 General Limitations on Funding
1906.1 Care must be exercised to ensure that misunderstandings do not
develop about reimbursement of funds expended for containment and cleanup
activities. The OSC should not knowingly request services for which
reimbursement is mandatory unless reimbursement funds are known to be
available. Similarly, the agency supplying a reimbursable service should
determine the source of reimbursement before committing resources necessi-
tating reimbursment.
1907 Planning
1907.1 The availability of funds and requirements for the reimbursement
of expenditures by certain agencies must be included in resource utilization
planning. Local interagency agreements may be necessary to specify when
reimbursement is required.

Annex X
2000 OIL POLLUTION SURVEILLANCE
2001 Introduction
2001.1 Surveillance Surveillance is the action by which the On-
Scene Coordinator is kept informed on the movement of an oil slick or
hazardous substances from the time immediately after a spill is reported
until the cleanup activity has been completed. The surveillance activity
should make provisions for such items as (1) visual observations, (2)
aerial sensing, (3) weather, sea and river forecasts, carrier forecasting,
(4) physical/chemical monitoring, (5) measurement of movement, and (6)
prediction of movement. With this information available to him, the OSC
can make accurate assessments concerning the land or water areas threat-
ened and can make provisions for preventing damage in critical areas.
2001.2 Surveillance prior to the reporting of a spill is that required
to detect the presence of oil or hazardous substances uncontrolled in the
environment so that appropriate action can be taken.
2002 Preplanning
2002.1 Introduction Preplanning or preparedness to react to any spill
requires a coordinated readiness posture on the part of the concerned
agencies. Each Plan should incorporate those requirements for surveillance
necessary to the individual areas.
2002.2 Surveillance preplanning includes determination of need, deter-
mination of capability, making contact with those who have this capability,
determination of availability, and prior provision for response as reflected
in firm written agreements.
2002.3 Identification of Critical Areas There are two types of areas
towards which surveillance preplanning should initially be directed. The
first priority is those areas where a spill is most likely to occur as
defined by the Sub-Regional Plans. The other areas are those locations
where a spill would cause difficulty or economic loss as outlined in the
Regional Planning Annex.
2002.4 Data Among the kinds of data that should be available to the
OSC are: climatological studies and summaries, navigational and bathymetric
charts, tide and current tables (including data for rivers), physical
and chemical characteristics not caused by pollutant, and relation of
pollution to eco-systems. When it is determined that environmental data
are inadequate, the OSC will request that the gaps be filled.
2002.5 Basic Environmental Data The responsibility for having the
basic environmental data rests with each echelon under the National
Plan. For the Sub-Regions, this rests with the OSC designated. The
-------
kinds of data and the means of obtaining them are included herein.
2003 Monitoring/Prediction
2003.1 Techniques A variety of monitoring and observation techniques
are available and have been tried in examining the extent, dynamics, and
effects of an oil spill. These include visual observations on the ground,
from the shore, surface craft, or aircraft, and photographic methods or
other more sophisticated remote sensing techniques from low and high
flying aircraft. Additionally, there are remote sensing capabilities
from satellites.
2003.1-1 Observations from Aircraft The primary value of
visual observation from aircraft is the capability for covering
large areas quickly in the initial stages of a spill. Experi-
ence indicates that there is a tendency to map the extent of an
oil spill without an adequate description of open-water areas
within mapped limits. This leads to over-estimates of the
volume of oil that has been released and can initiate adverse
reactions.
2003.1-2 Airborne Imagery The most important procedures that
have been learned to date are:
(a) When they can be obtained, photographs provide
a permanent record. Accurately locate the aircraft
when the photograph is taken. Location can be accom-
plished by including known land areas in each photograph
and/or by tracking the aircraft by radar. Other
navigational aids could be used, where appropriate.
(b) Use cameras and filter systems with the best
possible response for the conditions being photographed.
(c) For oil spills, use photographic techniques that
are capable or designed to photograph the sun glint on
the water. Mosaics made up of the sun glint will provide
very detailed information on the extent and distribution
of the oi1.
(d) Ultra-violet imagery techniques are available. The
wave lengths near 0.35 microns are useful to show the
extent of oil.
(e) Particularly promising is the airborne use of both
active and passive radar. The first method is very
sensitive to the change of wave slope that occurs be-
cause of the influence of oil. The second is sensitive
to temperature changes. Both could possibly be calibrated
for oil thickness. These methods should be par-
ticularly valuable because they are operable under
essentially all weather conditions.
-------
(f) Thermal infrared (8 to 14u) is useful in the
immediate vicinity of a spill provided thermal
differences exist between the pollutant and surface
water or if water of a different temperature has
been brought to the surface.
2003.1-3 Other Hazardous Materials Many potentially hazardous
materials are soluble and much more difficult to detect than
oil. Fluorescent tracers, dyes, and Fraunhofer line discriminator
monitoring capabilities are available. These techniques allow
mapping of the rate of movement, dispersion and relative concen-
tration. This capability would be of special significance when
soluble hazardous materials are spilled into rivers Jakes, and
estuaries where dilution rates may be slow.
2003.1-4 Plotting Consistent plotting is necessary for moni-
toring of the spill, prediction of its movement and for record
purposes. It should be done by the same team on the same
plotting scheme. The OSC will assign local responsibility
for plotting.
2004 Ope rational
2004.1 Operational requirements for surveillance will be dependent on
the circumstances surrounding each spill and must be evaluated in the
same manner as other response requirements. Such factors as type and
quantity of material, location, apparent direction and speed of movement,
proximity to critical water use areas, and availability of response re-
sources should be considered. Even after a determination is made that a
surveillance response is required, it will be necessary to determine the
type, extent and duration of the surveillance coverage. This will have
to be constantly reevaluated as the situation progresses. The following
sections contain some general guidelines that should be considered when
determining surveillance needs. These should not be considered as limit-
ing, but should be used as a planning base.
2004.2 In minor spills, normally, special surveillance activity will
not be required. However, during other spills, although they may not
reach major proportions, considerable special surveillance capability
may be required. Regional planning should determine what information is
presently available to assist in predicting behavior and carrying out
other surveillance functions. Arrangements should be made to obtain this
information for the Regional and Sub-Regional Response Centers, as approp-
ri ate.
2004.3 The surveillance activity associated with a medium or major
spill will take two distinct aspects. These are: (1) determination
of the coverage, and (2) prediction of future action. Although there
are two separate aspects of the problem, many of the parameters deter-
mined during one phase are utilized in the other phase.
2004.4 The initial function of surveillance will be assessment of the
actual threat. In many situations this function will be combined and
-------
accomplished during the initial surveillance sortie. This function
will provide the OSC with information as to the degree of further re-
sponse activity required, including the need for additional surveillance.
2004.5 During the incident it will be necessary to monitor the situation.
This will consist of tracking and plotting. This tracking and plotting
may be required on a continuous basis or may be periodically accomplished,
depending on the degree of threat. Plots should be labeled and retained
in sequence, together with the available meteorological and oceanographic
data to permit appropriate review and study to assist in the long-range
determination of the behavior of oil on water.
2004.6 Information obtained during monitoring operations is of limited
value unless movement prediction can be made from them. Generally, it
will be necessary to estimate the movement of the pollutant. There will
be made available to the National Response Team, the Regional Response
Teams, and the pre-designated OSC, a compilation of the latest empirical
relationships for pollutant movements--for example, the movement of an
oil slick relative to the windflow. Until such compilation is available,
tests and experience have shown that movement of the oil at approximately
3% of the wind velocity may be used as a rule of thumb.
2004.7 A forecast office will have additional information, either permit-
ting more detail in the prediction, taking into account, for instance, local
topography, or information concerning a longer range prediction. All Weather
Service Offices operate 24 hours daily, seven days a week, and are available
for immediate response for weather information.
2004.8 The Weather Service contact at the Regional level will make gen-
eral arrangements for special data and forecasts, for wind, sea-state, and
river flow, as appropriate. This may be by telephone, teletypewriter cir-
cuits, radio or some combination. If considered necessary or helpful, and
resources are available, a forecast specialist will proceed to the incident
and report to the OSC staff assistant during the period of the emergency.
This on-scene support may include a mobile unit.
2004.9 Carrier predictions will serve as the base for material pre-
dictions. In the absence of wind, movement is with the surface current.
Energy coupling, involving wind an current movements, is essential to
know for these predictions also. The OSC will make the estimate of the
carrier movement based on all available data.
2004.10 If specific capabilities or other agency environmental prediction
programs are required because of the area or unusual conditions, and if
requested by the OSC, the Weather Service will be prepared to coordinate
the prediction efforts.
2004.11 Spills of Hazardous Substances Surveillance activity during a spill
assumes even greater importance when the material is hazardous matter other
than oil. Here the surveillance function is more difficult, however.
Behavior of many of the possible products that can be involved is not as
-------
well understood as the behavior of oil. This problem can be further com-
pounded since many of the substances wi.ll not be amenable to visual or
electronic detection techniques.
2004.12 Materials that are soluble or emulsify in water will probably
be affected primarily by subsurface currents. It will be necessary to
sample periodically with suitable techniques to determine if the predic-
tive movement corresponds to the actual movement. In some cases it may be
advantageous to add a trace element to the waterway, since many elements
may be difficult to trace through direct sampling techniques. Prediction
of carrier movement should be accomplished in the preplanning phases,
since it will probably not be possible to compile accurate predictions
within a suitable time frame during actual incident.
2004.13 Materials that are non-soluble in water or otherwise precipitate
and sink as solids will seldom travel far from the point at which they
sank, even in relatively high currents. The main problem in this case
will be actually locating the material. This might be accomplished by
bottom sampling, underwater search, either visual or magnetic, or dragging.
When located, and if required, the limit of the spill should be marked by
suitable buoys.
2004.14 Non-soluble materials that float should be handled in the same
fashion as oil.
2004.15 Because of the diversity of characteristics of these and other
materials, it may be necessary to modify these general procedures to meet
particular situations. The same general principles should be applied,
however. Adequate, timely data--in a form that can be used--is a first
priority requirement.

FEDERAL CAPABILITIES AND RESOURCES
Environmental Protection Agency
The Alaska Operations Office, Anchorage (AOO), has no clean-up and
containment equipment for use should an oil or other hazardous material
spill occur. In a major spill situation, manpower and equipment can be
obtained from State, Federal, Military, industry, public municipalities
and local contractors on an availability basis. The manpower and equip-
ment pool fluctuates seasonally outside and major cities. Since road
camps, summer field camps, and other construction areas shift according
to work underway or work completed, it is difficult to draft a meaningful,
up-to-date inventory list which could be commited in the event of a spill
emergency at a specific location. The following summary has been prepared,
generally stating the type of equipment which may be available by agency.
A notification sheet, listing the person to call to obtain authorization
for use is included in this report. No reimbursement for costs involved
is discussed in this plan and will have to be worked out on a case by
case basis. Generally speaking, the committment of Federal resources will
not be delayed owing to administrative requirements.
Field deployable analytical and laboratory water quality analysis
are available through the EPA Alaska Water Laboratory, College, Alaska.
Oil analysis will be carried out by the Regional EPA Oil Laboratory,
Redmond, Washington.
AOO, Anchorage will provide technical assistance for clean-up, contain-
ment, and disposal of oil or other hazardous substances.
U. S. Coast Guard
The Coast Guard strike force for coastal waters will be available
for inland spills. Presently, the strike force is still in the formation
stage. Requests for activation of the Coast Guard strike force will be
through EPA, AOO, Anchorage for inland spills. EPA will in turn contact
the Coast Guard Seventeenth District, Juneau.
C-130 aircraft and helicopters can be made available on requests;
however, SAR cases have first priority. Deployment of CG aircraft for
surveillance or transportation in connection with an inland spill will
be handled on a case by case basis.
No shallow draft boats, suitable for use on inland rivers and lakes
are available.

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

2503.12 APPROXIMATE CONVERSIONS:
Material Barrels per Ton (long)
Crude Oils 6.7-8.1
Aviation gasolines 8.3 - 9.2
Motor gasolines 8.2 - 9.1
Kerosenes 7.7 - 8.3

(As a general rule-of-thumb use 6.5 barrels or 250 gallons
per ton of oil.)
2503.13 CRUDE OIL: Petroleum as it is extracted from the earth. There
may be several thousands of different substances in crude oil some of
which evaporate quickly, while others persist Indefinitely. The physical
characteristics of crude oils may vary widely. Crude oils are often
identified in trade jargon by their regions of origin. This identification
may not relate to the apparent physical characteristics of the oil. Com-
mercial gasoline, kerosene, heating oils, diesel oils, lubricating oils,
waxes, and asphalts are all obtained by refining crude oil.
2503.14 DEMULSIBILITY: The resistance of an oil to emulsification, or
the ability of an oil to separate from any water with which it is mixed.
-------
The better the demulsibility rating, the more quickly the oil separates
from water.
2503.15 DENSITY: Density is the term meaning the mass of a unit volume.
Its numerical expression varies with the units selected.
2503.16 EMULSION: A mechanical mixture of two liquids which do not
naturally mix as oil and water. Water -in-oil emulsions have the water
as the internal phase and oil as the external. Oil-in-water emulsions
have water as the external phase and the internal phase is oil.
2503.17 FIRE POINT: The lowest temperature at which an oil vaporizes
rapidly enough to burn for at least 5 seconds after ignition, under
standard conditions.
2503.18 FLASH POINT: The lowest temperature at which an oil gives off
sufficient vapor to form a mixture which will ignite, under standard
conditions.
2503.19 FRACTION: Refinery term for a product of fractional distilation
having a restricted boiling range.
2503.20 FUEL OIL GRADE: Numerical ratings ranging from 1 to 6. The
lower the grade number, the thinner the oil is and more easily it
evaporates. A high number indicates a relatively thick, heavy oil.
No. 1 and 2 fuel oils are usually used in domestic heaters, and the
others are used by industry and ships. No. 5 and 6 oils are solids which
must be liquefied by heating. Kerosene, coal oil, and range oil are all
No. 1 oil. No. 3 fuel oil is no longer used as a standard term.
2503.21 INNAGE: Space occupied in a product container.
2503.22 IN PERSONAM: An action in personam is instituted against an
individual, usually through the personal service of process, and may
result in the imposition of a liability directly upon the person of a
defendant.
2503.23 IN REM: An action in. rem is one in which the vessel or thing
itself is treated as offender and made defendant without any proceeding
against the owners or even mentioning their names. The decree in an
action in rem is enforced directly against the res by a condemnation and
sale thereof.
2503.24 LOAD ON TOP: A procedure for ballasting and cleaning unloaded
tankers without discharging oil. Half of the tanks are first filled with
seawater while the others are cleaned by hosing. Then oil from the cleaned
tanks, along with oil which has separated out in the full tanks, is pumped
into a single slop tank. The clean water in the full tanks is then dis-
charged while the freshly-cleaned tanks are filled with seawater. Ballast
is thus constantly maintained.
-------
2503.25 OIL FILMS: A slick thinner than .0001 inch and may be classified
as follows:

Note: Each one-inch thickness of oil equals 5.61 gallons per square
yard or 17,378,709 gallons per square mile.
2503.26 OUTAGE: Space left in a product container to allow for expansion
during temperature changes it may undergo during shipment and use. Measure-
ment of space not occupied.
2503.27 pH: Term used to express the apparent acidity or alkalinity of
aqueous solutions; values below 7 indicate acid solutions and values above
7 indicate alkaline solutions.
2503.28 POUR POINT: The lowest temperature at which an oil will flow or
can be poured under specified conditions of test.
2503.29 RESIDUAL OIL: A general term used to indicate a heavy viscous
fuel oil.
2503.30 SCUPPERS: Openings around the deck of a vessel which allow
water falling onto the deck to flow overboard. Should be plugged during
fuel transfer.
2503.31 SLUDGE OIL: Muddy impurities and acid which have settled
from an oiTT
2503.32 SPECIFIC GRAVITY: The ratio of the weight of a given volume
of the material at a stated temperature to the weight of an equal volume
of distilled water at a stated temperature.
2503.33 SPONTANEOUS IGNITION TEMPERATURE (S.I.T.): The tenperature
-------
at which an oil ignites of its own accord in the presence of air oxygen
under standard conditions.
2503.34 STOKE: The unit of kinematic viscosity.
2503.35 TONNAGE: There are various tonnages applied to merchant ships.
The one commonly implied is gross tonnage, although in these days tankers
and other bulk-carriers are often referred to in terms of deadweight.
2503.35-1 Gross tonnage 100 cubic feet of permanently en-
closed space is equal to one gross ton—nothing whatever to
do with weight. This is usually the registered tonnage, al-
though it may vary somewhat according to the classifying
authority or nationality.
2503.35-2 Net tonnage The earning capacity of a ship.
The gross tonnage after deduction of certain spaces, such as
engine and boiler rooms, crew accommodation, stores, equip-
ment, etc. Port and harbor dues are based on this tonnage.
2503.35-3 Displacement tonnage The actual weight in tons,
varying according to whether a vessel is in light or loaded
condition. Warships are always spoken of by this form of
measurement.
2503.35-4 Deadweight tonnage The actual weight in tons of
cargo, stores, etc. required to bring a vessel down to her load
line, from the light condition. Cargo deadweight is, as its
name implies, the actual weight in tons of the cargo when
loaded, as distinct from stores, ballast, ect.
2503.36 ULLAGE: The amount which a tank or vessel lacks of beinq full,
(see also OUTAGE)
2503.37 VISCOSITY: The property of liquids which causes them to resist
instantaneous change of shape, or instantaneous rearrangement of their
parts, due to internal friction. The resistance which the particles of
a liquid offer to a force tending to move them in relation to each other.
Viscosity of oils is usually expressed as the number of seconds at a
definite temperature required for a standard quantity of oil to flow
through a standard apparatus.
2503.38 VISCOUS: Thick, resistant to flow having a high viscosity.
2503.39 VOLATILE: Evaporates easily.

Annex XVI
2600 SCHEDULE OF DISPERSANTS AND OTHER CHEMICALS TO TREAT OIL SPILLS
2601 General
2601.1 This schedule shall apply to the navigable waters of the United
States and adjoining shorelines, and the waters of the contiguous zone
as defined in Article 24 of the Convention on the Territorial Sea and
the Contiguous Zone.
2601.2 This schedule applies to the regulation of any chemical as here-
inafter defined that is applied to an oil spill.
2601.3 This schedule advocates development and utilization of mechanical
and other control methods that will result in removal of oil from the
environment with subsequent proper disposal.
2601.4 Relationship of the Environmental Protection Agency with other
Federal agencies and State agencies in implementing this schedule: if
Alaska develops more stringent laws, regulations or written policies for
regulation of chemical use, these laws, regulations or written policies
shall govern. Until then, this schedule will apply.
2602 Definitions
Substances applies to an oil spill are defined as follows:
2602.1 Collecting agents - include chemicals or other agents that can
gell, sorb, congeal, herd, entrap, fix, or make the oil mass more rigid
or viscous in order to facilitate surface removal of oil.
2602.2 Sinking agents - are those chemical or other agents that can
physically sink oil below the water surface.
2602.3 Dispersing agents - are those chemical agents or compounds which
emulsify, disperse or solubilize oil into the water column or act to
further the surface spreading of oil slicks in order to facilitate dis-
persal of the oil into the water column.
2603 Collecting Agents
Collecting agents are considered to be generally acceptable,
providing these materials do not in themselves or in combination with
the oil increase the pollution hazard.
2604 Sinking Agents
Sinking agents may be used only in marine waters exceeding
100 meters in depth where currents are not predominately onshore, and
-------
only if other control methods are judged by EPA to be inadequate or
not feasible.
2605 Authorities Controlling Use of Dispersants
2605.1 Regional response team activated: dispersants may be used in
any place, at any time, and in quantities designated by the on-scene
coordinator, when their use will:
2605.1-1 In the judgment of the OSC, prevent or substantially
reduce hazard to human life or limb or substantial hazard of
fire to property;
2605.1-2 In the judgment of EPA, in consultation with appropriate
State agencies, prevent or reduce substantial hazard to a major
segment of the population(s) of vulnerable species of waterfowl;
and,
2605.1-3 In the judgment of EPA, in consultation with appropriate
State agencies, result in the least overall environmental damage,
or interference with designated uses.
2605.2 Regional response team not activated: provisions of Section 2605.
1-1 shall apply. The use of dispersants in any other situation shall be
subject to this schedule, except in States where state laws, regulations,
or written policies that govern the prohibition, use, quantity, or type
of dispersant are in effect. In such States, the State laws, regulations,
or written policies shall be followed during the cleanup operation.
2606 Interim Restrictions on Use of Dispersants for Pollution Control
Purposes
Except as noted in 2605.1 , dispersants shall not be used:
2606.1 On any distillate fuel oil;
2606.2 On any spill of oil less than 200 barrels in quantity;
2606.3 On any shoreline;
2606.4 In any waters less than 100 feet deep;
2606.5 In any waters containing major populations, or breeding or passage
areas for species of fish or marine life which may be damaged or rendered
commercially less marketable by exposure to dispersant or dispersed oil;
2606.6 In any waters where winds and/or currents are of such velocity and
direction that dispersed oil mixtures would likely, in the judgment of EPA,
be carried to shore areas within 24 hours; or
2606.7 In any waters where such use may affect surface water supplies.
-------
2607 Dispersant Use Di&persants may be used in accordance with this
schedule if other control methods are judged to be inadequate or infeas-
ible, and if:
2607.1 Information has been provided to EPA, in sufficient time prior to
its use for review by EPA, on its toxicity, effectiveness, and oxygen
demand determined by the standard procedures published by EPA. (Prior to
publication by EPA of standard procedures, no dispersant shall be applied,
except as noted in Section 2605.1-1 in quantities exceeding 5 ppm in the
upper 3 feet of the water column during any 24-hour period. This amount
is equivalent to 5 gallons per acre per 24 hours); and if:
2607.2 Applied during any 24-hour period in quantities not exceeding the
96 hour TLrg of the most sensitive species tested as calculated in the top
foot of the water column. The maximum volume of chemical permitted, in
gallons per acre per 24 hours, shall be calculated by multiplying the 96-
hour TL50 value of the most sensitive species tested, in ppm, by 0.33;
except that in no case, except as noted in Section 2605.1-1, will the daily
application rate of chemical exceed 540 gallons per acre or one-fifth of
the total volume spilled, whichever quantity is smaller.
2607.3 Dispersant containers are labeled with the following information:
2607.3-1 Name, brand or trademark, if any, under which the
chemical is sold;
2607.3-2 Name and address of the manufacturer, importer or
vendor;
2607.3-3 Flash point;
2607.3-4 Freezing or pour point;
2607.3-5 Viscosity;
2607.3-6 Recommend application procedure(s), concentration(s),
and conditions for use as regards to water salinity, water
temperature, and types and ages of oils; and
2607.3-7 Date of production and shelf life.
2607.4 Information to be supplied to EPA on the:
2607.4-1 Chemical name and percentage of each component;
2607.4-2 Concentrations of potentially hazardous trace materials,
including, but not necessarily being limited to, lead, chromium,
zinc, arsenic, mercury, nickel, copper, or chlorinated hydrocarbons;
2607.4-3 Description of analytical methods used in determining
chemical characteristics outlined in 2607.4-1 and 2607.4-2 above;
-------
2607.4-4 Methods for analyzing the chemical in fresh and salt
water are provided to EPA or reasons why such analytical methods
cannot be provided; and
2607.4-5 For purposes of research and development, EPA may
authorize use of dispersants in specified amounts and locations
under controlled conditions irrespective of the provisions of this
schedule.
~NOTE:
In addition to those agents defined and described in Section 2607 above,
the following materials which are not a part of this Schedule, with cautions
on their use, should be considered:
1. Biological agents - those bacteria and enzymes isolated, grown,
and produced for the specific purpose of encouraging or speeding
biodegradation to mitigate the effects of a spill. Biological
agents shall be used to treat spills only when such use is approved
by the appropriate state and local public health and water pollution
control officials.
2. Burning agents - are those materials which, through physical
or chemical means, improve the combustibility of the materials to
which they are applied. Burning agents may be used and are acceptable
so long as they do not in themselves, or in combination with
the material to which they are applied, increase the pollution
hazard and their use is approved by appropriate Federal, State,
and local fire prevention officials.
