100 INTRODUCTION
101	Background
101*1 The development of a national awareness and concern over the
hazards and damages to water-related- resources from oil pollution can
be traced in large part to the sinking of the tanker, TORREY CANYON.
This marine casualty off the south coast of England caused a massive
oil spill with a tragic destruction of water-related resources along
both the English and French coasts. But more importantly, it galvanized
the United States into action and caused us to assess our own capabili-
ties to cope with massive spills of oil and other hazardous substances.
The President recognized this need by directing the Secretary of the
Interior and the Secretary of Transportation to study the Nation's ca-
pabilities for handling such disasters. The results of this study are
detailed in "Oil Pollution - A Report to the President" (February 1968).
This report documented our unpreparedness to deal with a catastrophic
oil spill, and clearly pointed to many areas of needed Federal action.
101.2 On June 7, 1968, the President, by memorandum, directed the
Secretaries of Defense, Interior and Transportation and the Director
of the Office of Science and Technology to assume special responsi-
bilities in order to strengthen this Nation's preparedness to act in
the event of an oil spill pollution emergency along our coasts .and
waterways. The President further directed the Secretary of the Interior
to assume primary responsibility for completing, at the earliest possible
date, multiagency contingency plans for responding to oil spill emergencies.
This document is directed toward fulfilling the President's directive.
102	Purpose and Objectives
102.1	This plan (including the annexes) represents an agreement among
concerned Departments and agencies of the Federal government, state and
local governments, and private groups for a pattern of coordinated and
integrated response to pollution spills. It establishes a regional re-
sponse team and provides guidelines for the establishment of subregional
contingency plans and response teams. This plan promotes the coordination
and direction of Federal, state and local response systems and encourages
the development of local government and private capabilities to handle such
pollution spills.
102.2	The objectives of this plan are: to develop appropriate preventive
and preparedness measures and effective systems for- discovering and report-
ing 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
2

-------
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 toward the accomplishment of these
objectives is contained in the basic plan, the annexes and the sub-
regional plans.
103	Scope
103.1	This plan is applicable to the waters of the Hudson River from
the Tappan Zee Bridge located south of Tarrytown, New York, north to
Fort Edwards, New York. Thence northeast through the Champlain Barge
Canal to Whitehall, New York. Further, this plan is applicable on the
waters of the Mohawk River from its conjunction with the Hudson River
at Cohoes, New York west to Rome, New York.
103.2	The provisions of this Regional Multiagency Oil and Hazardous
Materials Pollution Contingency Plan are applicable to all agencies
signatory thereto. Implementation of this plan will be within the
framework of the National Multiagency Oil and Hazardous Materials Pol-
lution Contingency Plan and will be compatible and, complementary to
currently effective assistance plans, agreements, security regulations,
and responsibilities based upon Federal statutes and Executive Orders.

105 Definitions
105.1	Spill - is any loss of control or sudden release of oil or
hazardous substance such that it moves or is capable of moving into
the aquatic environment. Continuing discharges such as sewage or
dredged material are excluded from this definition.
105.2	Pollution Incident - is a spill, including an imminent threat
of spill, of such magnitude or significance as to require immediate
response to contain, cleanup or dispose of the material to prevent a
substantial threat to public health or welfare including finfish,
shellfish, or other wildlife, and shorelines and beaches.
105.3	Major Disaster - is any flood, drought, fire, hurricane,
earthquake, storm or other catastrophe in any part of the United
States which, in the determination of the President, is or threatens
to become of sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant disaster
assistance by the Federal government to supplement the effort and
available resources of states and local governments in alleviating
damage, hardship or suffering.
105.4	Oil - is any kind or form of oil including but not limited to
fuel oil, sludge oil refuse, and oil mixed with wastes other than
dredged spoil.
105.5	Hazardous Substance - is matter of any description or origin
other than oil or radioactive substance which, when discharged into
any waters in quantities, presents an imminent and substantial hazard
to the public health or welfare, including finfish, shellfish, or other
wildlife, and shorelines and beaches.
105.6	Minor Spill - is a spill of oil of less than 100 gallons in the
inland waters, or less than 1,000 gallons in the coastal waters, or a
spill of small quantities of other substances. Spills that: (1) occur
in or endanger critical water areas; (2) receive major display in the
public press; (3) become the focus of an enforcement action; or (4)
pose a threat to human health or welfare, should be classified as moderate
or major spills depending on the degree of impact.
105.7	Moderate Spill - is a spill of oil of 100 gallons to 10,000
gallons in the inland waters, of 1,000 gallons to 100,000 gallons in
the coastal waters, or of any material of any size that poses a threat
to the water quality or aquatic environment.
105.8	Major Spill - is a spill of oil of more than 10,000 gallons in
the inland waters or more than 100,000 gallons in the coastal waters or
a spill of any material of any size of such nature and quantity that
human health or welfare are substantially threatened.
4

-------
105.9 Potential Spill - is any accident or other circumstance which
threatens to result in the discharge of oil or other hazardous sub-
stance. A potential spill shall be classified as to severity based
on the guidelines above.
200 POLICY AND RESPONSIBILITY
201 Federal Policy
201.1	The Federal Policy to prevent, control and abate water pollution
has been established by statute, for the purpose of protecting and en-
hancing the quality and value of our Nation's water resources. To this
end, the discharge offoil under certain conditions is proscribed and
the discharge of oil from any boat or vessel into the navigable waters
of the United States prohibited; the Secretary of the Interior may ac-
complish the removal of such discharged oil if the person responsible
fails to remove it from the navigable waters and adjoining shorelines;
oil, classified as a refuse, may not be discharged; and oil may not be
discharged from vessels in international waters near the shores of the
United States. Additionally, the President has established the policy
that appropriate Federal resources will be used for dealing with the
pollution aspects of oil or hazardous substance spill problems and to
protect our natural resources from their consequences.
201.2	A primary thrust of the plan is to encourage the person respon-
sible for the discharge of oil or other hazardous substances to remove
the pollutant or adequately mitigate its effects. When such person is
taking adequate action, the principal thrust of Federal activities shall
be to observe and monitor progress and to provide advice and counsel as
may be necessary. In the event that the person responsible for a pollu-
tion incident does not act promptly, does not take or propose to take
proper and appropriate actions to contain, cleanup and dispose of
pollutants or the discharger is unknown, further Federal response actions
may be instituted.
201.3	The Federal agencies signatory to this plan possessing facilities
or other resources which may be useful in a Federal response situation
will make such facilities or resources available for use in accordance
with this plan as supplemented by the subregional plans. Agencies making
resources available shall make such assignment consistent with operational
requirements, within the limits of existing statutory authority and without
reimbursement, except where reimbursement is specifically required by
statute or by agreement with another agency.
5

-------
202 Federal Responsibility
202.1	Each of the agencies signatory to this plan has responsibilities
established by statute, Executive Order or Presidential Directive, which
may bear on the Federal response to a pollution incident. This plan
does not intend to delegate any of these responsibilities but intends to
promote the expeditious and harmonious discharge of these responsibilities
through the assignment of authority for action to those agencies having
the most appropriate capability to act in each specific situation. Re-
sponsibilities and authorities of these several agencies relevant to the
control of pollution incidents are detailed in Annex VII.
202.2	Within the framework of the National Contingency Plan and this
plan, each agency also accepts certain responsibilities to promote the
effective operation of the plan. These considerations are spelled out
in greater detail in the subregional plans.
202.3	The Department of the Interior is responsible for administering,
developing and revising the National Multiagency Oil and Hazardous
Materials Contingency Plan and for developing and revising the regional
plans. In this activity DOI will give full consideration to the recom-
mendations of NIC concerning the interpretation, revision and application
of the plan. Through the resources of the Federal Water Quality Adminis-
tration, DOI will provide technical expertise to NRT and the RRTs relative
to water pollution control techniques. The assessment of damage to fish
and wildlife resources will be made by the appropriate DOI agency.
202.4	The Department of Transportation through the U. S. Coast Guard,
supplies expertise in the fields of navigation, port safety and security,
and maritime law enforcement. Additionally, the Coast Guard maintains
continuously manned facilities that are capable of command, control and
surveillance for spills occurring on the navigable waters of the United
States or the high seas.
202.5	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 a major
disaster under P.L. 81-875 for the pollution incident, the Director, OEP,
will provide coordination and direction of the Federal response in accord-
ance with OEP policies and procedures.
202.6	The Department of Defense, consistent with its operational require-
ments, may provide assistance in critical pollution incidents and in the
maintenance of navigation channels, salvage, and removal of navigation
obstructions.
202.7	The Department of Health, Education and Welfare is responsible
for providing expert advice and assistance relative to those spills that
constitute a threat to public health.
6

-------
202.8 All of the Federal agencies signatory to the National Multi-
agency Oil and Hazardous Materials Pollution Contingency Plan are
responsible for making resources available to other signatory Federal
agencies as described in the National Contingency Plan's policy for
Federal response and in accordance with this plan; for providing
official representation to RRT and SRT; for making information avail-
able 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.
203.1 The policy of the New York State Health Department is to have
the polluters remove the spilled oil and restore the affected area to
its original state, or as near to this as possible. The New York State
Health Department will furnish technical assistance and guidance to
help remove the polluting material.
300 PLANNING AND RESPONSE ELEMENTS
301	National Interagency Committee
301.1 The National Interagency Committee for Control of Pollution by
Oil and Hazardous Materials (NIC) is the principal instrumentality for
plans and policies of the Federal multiagency preparedness and response
to pollution incidents. The Committee is composed of representatives of
the agencies signatory to the National Contingency Plan.
302	National Response Center
302.1 The National Response Center (NRC) is the Washington, D. C., head-
quarters site for activities relative to pollution incidents. NRC will
be accommodated in Coast Guard Headquarters, and will provide communica-
tions, information storage, necessary personnel and facilities to promote
the smooth and adequate functioning of this activity.
303	National Response Team
303.1 The National Response Team (NRT) consists of representatives of
the signatory agencies of the National Contingency Plan and shall act as
an emergency response team to be activated in the event of a pollution
incident involving oil or other hazardous material which: (a) exceeds
the response capability of the region in which it occurs, (b) transects
regional boundaries, or (c) involves national security or presents a
7

-------
major hazard to substantial numbers of persons or nationally signifi-
cant amounts of property.
303.2 During a pollution incident, NRT will evaluate reports coming
from the OSC, requesting additional information as may be indicated.
NRT will coordinate the actions of other regions or districts in
supplying needed assistance to the OSC. NRT may recommend courses of
action through RRT for consideration by the OSC but has no operational
control of the OSC. On the basis of reports and information about a
pollution incident, NRT may request other Federal, state, local govern-
ments or private agencies (whether or not they are signatory to this
document) to consider taking action under whatever authorities they may
have to accomplish needed objectives for the purpose of pollution control.
NRT may recommend the deployment of personnel to monitor and observe the
handling of any pollution incident. Copies of all reports and documents
developed by RRT as a result of pollution incidents will be provided to
NIC for its evaluation.
304	Regional Response Center
304.1 The Regional Response Center is the regional headquarters* site
at the Rescue Coordination Center, Third U. S. Coast Guard District,
Governors Island, N. Y., for pollution control activities under this
plan. The Regional Response Center will be accommodated in quarters
described in Annex III and will provide communications, information
storage and other necessary personnel and facilities to promote the
smooth and adequate functioning and administration of this plan.
305	Regional Response Team
305.1	The Regional Response Team (RRT) consists of representatives of
the signatory agencies. The representative of D0I will act as Chairman
and the representative of DOT will act as Executive Secretary.
305.2	The Regional Response Team functions as an emergency response
team and shall be activated in the event of a major spill or pollution
incident occurring within the region. It may be activated for any other
spill if requested by any member of the team. The Regional Response
Team will assemble at the Regional Response Center, the Subregional
Response Center, at the scene or at such other locations that may be
designated.
305.3	The Regional Response Team will perform functions within the
Region similar to those performed nationally by the National Interagency
Committee and the National Response Team. Generally these include plan-
ning, preparedness and response activities.
305.4	The planning and preparedness functions of the team are outlined
below.
305.4-1 Develop procedures to promote the coordinated
actions of all Federal, state, local government and
private agencies in response to pollution incidents.
8

-------
305.4-2 Assist in the preparation of amendments to
this plan.
305.4-3 Review Subregional Contingency Plans and
make recommendations for improving the effectiveness
of such plans.
305.4-4 Forward copies of reports concerning spills
to the NIC.
305.4-5	Review reports from the On-Scene Commander on
the handling of major spills and pollution incidents
for the purposes of analyzing response actions and
recommending needed improvements in the contingency plans.
305.5 Response functions would be performed anytime 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.
305.5-1	Monitor incoming reports and evaluate the
possible impact of such spills. Maintain an awareness
of proposed actions of the On-Scene Commander.
305.5-2 Coordinate the actions of the various agencies
in supplying needed assistance to the On-Scene Commander.
Assistance will normally be obtained through the appro-
priate member of the Regional Response Team.
305.5-3 Provide advice as required to the On-Scene
Commander and recommend courses of action for consi-
deration by the On-Scene Commander. The Regional
Response Team, however, has no direct operational
control over the On-Scene Commander.
305.5-4 Determine the nature and extent of Federal
Response required.
305.5-5 Recommend deployment of personnel to monitor
the handling of the spill.
305.5-6 Request other agencies and groups to consider
taking appropriate response action.
305.5-7 Determine when a shift of on-scene coordination
from the pre-designated OSC is indicated by circumstances
and designate the appropriate OSC.
305.5-8 Provide a focal point for public relations
(See Annex VI).
9

-------
305.6	For the purpose of the development of regional contingency
plans, the Nation's waters are divided into hydrologically oriented
regions corresponding to FWQA 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. These boundaries are delineated in Annex IV.
305.7	The agency membership on RRT is established by the National
Contingency Plan; however, individuals representing the signatory
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 pollution incident shall be accomplished through an
On-Scene Commander (OSC). The OSC is the single executive agent pre-
des ignated 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 substance the first responsible Federal
official on the site, from any of the signatory
agencies, 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 the nature, amount, and
location of material spilled, probable direction and
time of travel of the material, resources and instal-
lations which may be affected, and the priorities for
protecting them.
306.1-3 The OSC shall initiate and direct Phase II,
and Phase III and Phase IV operations as hereinafter
described.
306.1-4 The OSC shall call upon and direct the
deployment of available resources 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 RRT to ensure the
maximum effectiveness of the Federal effort in pro-
tecting the natural resources and environment from
pollution damage.
10

-------
306.1-7 It is recognized that in some cases the OSG,
particularly where he is a Coast Guard Officer, may have
other functions such as search and rescue or port safety
and security which must be performed along with pollution
control functions.
306.2 The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, New York District, is
assigned the responsibility to furnish the On-Scene Commander for
the inland waters covered by this plan.
307	Subregional Areas - omitted
(See paragraph 103.1)
308	Subregional Response Centers - The Subregional Response Centers
relating to the waters covered by this Plan are located in U. S. Army
Reserve Center in Kingston, New York, and at the U. S. Army Engineer's
Troy Lock & Dam at Troy, New York.
(See Annex IV)
309	Subregional Response Team - omitted
400 RESPONSE OPERATIONS — RESPONSE PHASES
400.1 The actions taken to respond to a spill or pollution incident can
be separated into five relatively distinct classes or phases. For des-
criptive 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 concurrently 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 and educational efforts to identify the channels by
which RRC can most promptly be notified of the spill. Insofar as possible
these sources should be organized into alerting networks and detailed in
the Subregional Contingency Plans.
401.2	The severity of the spill will determine the reporting procedure,
the participating Federal agencies to be notified and the level of noti-
fication required. 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.
11

-------
401.3 Alerting Procedure and Communication Links - In the event of
a potential major spill or an actual major spill, all Federal, state
and local government agencies and private organizations will notify
the Rescue Coordination Center, Third U. S. Coast Guard District,
Governors Island, New York. The personnel of the Rescue Coordination
Center will notify the Federal Water Quality Administration, Hudson-
Delaware Basins Office at Edison, New Jersey, who will, in turn, alert
other Federal, state and local governments and private organizations,
as necessary. (See Annex II )
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 or pollution incident.
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 pro-
cedures, 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 effects 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, such as replacement of beach sand or re-seeding
of a shellfish bed decimated by the toxic effects of a pollutant.
405	Phase V — Recovery of Damages and Enforcement
405.1 These may include a variety of activities, depending on the
location of and circumstance 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 Oil
Pollution Act of 1924, the Refuse Act of 1899, and state and local statutes
and ordinances are also included. The collection of scientific and
technical information of value to the scientific community as a basis for
12

-------
research and development activities and for the 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 for en-
forcement and other purposes.
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 signatory 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 or the RRC for the affected area
will be notified. After considering the available information, the
RRT may declare that a pollution incident has occurred. 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 counter-measures. The OSC shall have the full authority
to initiate Phase II actions pending the determination by RRT that a
pollution incident exists. Continuing water pollution control techniques
must receive the concurrence of the representative on the RRT of the
agency having concomitant statutory authority.
406.3	The OSC is assigned responsibility for conduct of Phase III
activities utilizing techniques concurred in by the representative on
the RRT of the agency having concomitant statutory authority.
406.4	The OSC is assigned responsibility for the conduct of Phase IV
activities utilizing techniques concurred in by the RRT. If the RRT
is deactivated during Phase IV activity, the OSC must obtain concurrence
for continuing water pollution control techniques from the representative
on the RRT of the agency having concomitant statutory authority.
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
representative on RRT of the agency having concomitant statutory authority.
13

-------
502	Multi-Regional Actions
502.1 In the event that a potential pollution source moves from the
area covered by one contingency plan into another, the authority to
initiate pollution control actions shall shift with the potential source.
In the event that a pollution incident affects areas covered by other
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 III.
503	U. S. Public Vessels and Federally Operated Facilities
503.1 When a spill, caused by a U. S. public vessel or by a Federally
controlled facility, is classified as a pollution incident the responsible
agency shall provide the OSC and take the initial response actions. Con-
tinuing water pollution control actions taken under Phase II, III and IV
must be concurred in by the RRT if activated; if the RRT is not activated,
concurrence will be obtained from the representative on RRT of the agency
having concomitant statutory authority.
504	Nuclear Pollution
504.1 In the event of a nuclear pollution incident the procedures of
the Interagency Radiological Assistance Plan shall apply*
505	Notification
505.1 All reports of spills or potential spills should be forwarded to
the predesignated On-Scene Commander immediately. The detailed instructions
for further alerting and notification and reporting procedures are contained
in Annex II.
506	General Pattern of Response Actions
506.1 When the On-Scene Commander 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.
506.1-1 Investigate the report to determine pertinent
information such as type and quantity of material, source
of spill, and the threat posed to water and related resources.
506.1-2 Designate the severity of the situation and
determine the future course of action to be followed.
506.1-3 Effect notification in accordance with Annex II.
14

-------
506.2 The results of the report probably can be categorized by one
of five classes. Appropriate action to be taken in each specific type
case is outlined below:
506.2-1 If the investigation shows that the initial
information overstated the magnitude or 1 danger of the
spill and there is no water pollution invovedi it should
be considered a false alarm and the case should be closed.
506.2-2 If the investigation shows a minor spill with
the discharger taking appropriate cleanup action, contact
is made with the discharger, the situation is monitored
and information is gathered for possible enforcement action.
506.2-3 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 On-Scene Commander should notify
appropriate state and local officials.
He should keep the Regional Response
Center advised and initiate Phase II and
III activities as conditions warrant.
506.2-4 When the initial report or investigation indicates
that a moderate spill has occurred or that a potential moderate

Annex II
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 a minor, moderate
or major spill. This initial classification will be used to determine
notification procedures until the degree of severity can be confirmed.
1202	Notification Requirements
1202.1	Initial notification would be accomplished by telephone or
message. Messages should be in the SITREP format. Normally the agencies
receiving initial notification would receive subsequent SITREPs pertain-
ing to the case.
1202.2	Minor spills. The OSC should report all minor spills to the
Regional Response Center or Subregional Response Center as appropriate.
This may be accomplished by SITREP ONE AND FINAL. If local government
cleanup action is required cognizant officials should be notified. The
RRC or.SRC should notify the FWQA Regional Director daily of reports of
minor spills with a SITREP ONE AND FINAL summarizing the various cases.
1202.3	Moderate spills. The OSC should report all moderate spills or
potential moderate spills to the Regional Response Center or Subregional
Response Center as appropriate. This should be accomplished as soon as
practical by message or telephone. The RRC or SRC should notify the FWQA
Regional Director of all reports of moderate spills as soon as possible
using teletype or telephone whichever is appropriate. Further notifica-
tion will be accomplished by the FWQA Regional Director as indicated by
the situation.
1202.4	Major spills or pollution incidents. The OSC should immediately
report all major or potential major spills and all pollution incidents to
the Regional Response Center or Subregional Response Center as appropriate.
This should be accomplished immediately by telephone and verified by
message. The RRC or SRC should immediately notify the RRT and NRC by
telephone of all reports of major or potential major spills and all pol-
lution incidents. As soon as possible the NRT should be advised by message*
19

-------
1203
National Level Telephonic Notification
1203.1 During working hours the NRC should be notified by contacting
the Maritime Pollution Control Branch or Law Enforcement Division, 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. (Tele-
phone 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 1504.2.
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 information should be submitted in the SITREP format. The SITREP
format is contained in Annex V.
1207.2	Minor spills would normally be reported by the OSC in SITREP
ONE AND FINAL. See section 1202.2.
1207.3	The OSC should submit timely SITREPs to the RRC and SRC on all
moderate spills, major spills or pollution incidents. The RRC or SRC
is responsible for keeping the RRT advised. The RRT shall submit timely
SITREPs to the NRT on all major spills and pollution incidents. This
may be accomplished by double heading the OSC's SITREPs or by originating
SITREPs by the RRT or a member of the team.
1208	Administrative Report Requirements
1208.1	At the conclusion of Federal activity resulting from a pollution
incident the OSCs involved will, pursuant to applicable instructions of
their own agencies, submit an administrative report of the incident and
the actions taken. Copies will be furnished to the NRT and appropriate
RRTs. The NRT will be responsible for forwarding copies of the report
to the NIC. The NIC will then evaluate each incident and will make ap-
propriate recommendations.
1208.2	In addition to the report required for pollution incidents, 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 in-
cluded to permit full evaluation of the report.

Annex III
1300 REGIONAL RESPONSE CENTER AND REGIONAL RESPONSE TEAM
1301 Regional Response Center
1301.1	In the event of a major oil (or chemical) spill, there will
be established a Regional Response Center. The Primary Center will
be located in the 3rd U. S. Coast Guard District's Rescue Coordina-
tion Center, Building #125, on Governor's Island, New York Harbor.
Upon notification of a major spill, a representative of the Federal
Water Quality Administration, the U. S. Army Engineer Division,
North Atlantic, OEP Region I and II and the Department of HEW will
proceed to the Regional Response Center where they will meet with
their counterpart from the 3rd U. S. Coast Guard District. This center
will be capable of obtaining and evaluating all information relative
to a major spill of oil or other hazardous substance and controlling
all on-scene operations. The selection of the Rescue Coordination
Center as a Regional Response Center is ideal in that the Center is
equipped to handle ship-to-shore, ship-to-ship and air-to-ground com-
munications in addition to having an extensive land-line communications
setup.
1301.2	Subregional Response Centers - In the event of a major spill
in the waters covered by this plan, the Regional Response Team will
move to either one of the Subregional Response Centers.

1510 - 1529 Communication Systems
(See Annex II)
1530	SITREP Format
1531	General Format
1531.1 All messages pertaining to a spill, should be in the situation
report (SITREP) format. This SITREP format consists of five basic
sections including the situation, action, plans, recommendations, and
status.
1532	Situation
1532.1	The situation section should provide the full details on the
spill including location, what happened, type and quantity of material,
who is involved, extent of coverage, times, areas threatened, predicted
movement, success of control efforts and prognosis.	,
1532.2	The location would be expressed in general and specific terms.
The general location would include high seas (beyond contiguous zone),
contiguous zone (3-12 mile limit), coastal waters (to 3 mil limit),
Great Lakes, roadsteads or other large bodies of open water in internal
waters (excluding Great Lakes), port (including harbor area), terminals,
beaches, other navigable waterways or river area. The specific location
would be expressed as the geographic location of the affected area.
1532.3	The type of material would include the general nature or
characteristic such as persistent or non-persistent oil, toxic material
or corrosive matter. If known, type would also include the specific
nature of the material (i.e., gasoline, benzene, sodium cyanide or
sulfuric acid).
1533	Action
1533.1 The action section should include a summary of all action taken
by the responsible party, State and local forces, the Federal Government

1537.1	The minimum information that should be included in a SITREP
ONE AND FINAL includes specific location, spill size, specific nature
(if unknown, general nature), source, and general location.
1537.2	The initial SITREP for moderate and major spills should be sent
as soon as possible and should include as much of the information con-
cerning the case as is immediately available. Transmission of the SITREP
should not be delayed to obtain information not immediately available.
Such information should be included in subsequent SITREPs.
36

-------
Annex VI
1600 PUBLIC INFORMATION
1600.1	Any significant spill of oil or other hazardous material
inevitably generates a number of urgent requests for information
from the news media. It is important, even crucial in many situa-
tions, that this information be provided promptly and that the
information be fully coordinated with the agencies concerned and
be as complete as possible. Follow-up information should be
provided to all interested media as it becomes available.
1600.2	During pollution emergency operations, the NRC will 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.
1600.3	During Federal response operations, the RRT will be respon-
sible for coordinating the interagency information releases at the
regional operations level. This will be accomplished by furnishing
the news media with information regarding the pollution incident
directly from the RRC, or where the RRT determines the situation
warrants, a professional information officer will be detailed to
the scene of the incident to establish a news media contact office.
The information officer at the scene of a pollution incident will
coordinate information with the RRT prior to release. Information
copies of all formal news releases from the regional level will be
forwarded to NRC.
1600'.3 The agency furnishing the OSC in each incident will also
provide the necessary information personnel as determined by the RRT.
If this agency is unable to provide the necessary information services
from its own information resources, the RRT will arrange for the
detail of appropriate information personnel from one or more of the
signatory agencies.

-------
1803.13	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 charac-
teristics of the oil. Commercial gasoline, kerosene, heating oils,
diesel oils, lubricating oils, waxes, and asphalts are all obtained
by refining crude oil.
1803.14	DEMULSIFY; 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 demulsification rating, the more quickly the
oil separates from water.
1803.15	DENSITY: Density is the term meaning the mass of a unit
volume. Its numerical expression varies with the units selected. .
1803.16	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.
1803.17	FIRE POINT: The lowest temperature at which an oil vaporizes
rapidly enough to burn for at least 5 seconds after ignition, under
standard conditions.
1803.18	FLASH POINT: The lowest temperature at which an oil gives
off sufficient vapor to form a mixture which will ignite, under
standard conditions.
1803.19	FRACTION: Refinery term for a product of fractional dis-
tillation having a restricted boiling range.
1803.20	FUEL OIL GRADE: Numerical ratings ranging from 1 to 8.
The lower the grade number, the thinner the oil is and the 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.
1803.21	INNAGE: Space occupied in a product container.
1803.22	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.
42

-------
1803.23	IN REM: An action in rem is one in which the vessel or thing
itself is treated as offender and made defandant 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.
1803.24	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.
1803.25	OIL FILMS: A slick thinner than .0001 inch and may be classified
as follows:
standard term
"barely visible"
"silvery"
gallons of oil
per square mile
25

Note: Each one-inch thickness of oil equals 5.61 gallons per square
yard or 17,378,709 gallons per square mile.
1803.26	OUTAGE: Space left in a product container to allow for expansion
during temperature changes it may undergo during shipment and use.
Measurement of space not occupied.
1803.27	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.
43

-------
1803.28	POUR POINT: The lowest temperature at which an oil will
flow or can be poured under specified conditions of test.
1803.29	RESIDUAL OIL; A general term used to indicate a heavy
viscous fuel oil.
1803.30	SCUPPERS: Openings around the deck of a vessel which allow
water falling onto the deck to flow overboard. Should be plugged during
fuel transfer.
1803.31	SLUDGE OIL: Muddy impurities and acid which have settled
from a mineral oil.
1803.32	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.
1803.33	SPONTANEOUS IGNITION TEMPERATURE: (S.I.T.): The temperature
at which an oil ignites of its own accord in the presence of air oxygen
under standard conditions.
1803.34	STOKE: The unit of kinematic viscosity.
1803.35	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.
1803.35-fl Gross tonnage. 100 cubic feet of permanently enclosed
space is equal to one gross ton—nothing whatever to do with weight.
This is usually the registered tonnage although it may vary somewhat
according to the classifying authority or nationality.
1803.35-2 Net tonnage. The earning capacity of a ship. The gross
tonnage after deduction of certain spaces, such as engine and boiler
roomst crew accomodation, stores, equipment etc. Port and harbour
dues are based on this tonnage.
1803.35-3 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.
1803.35-4 Deadweight tonnage. The actual weight in tons of cargo,
stores etc., required to bring a vessel down to her load line, from
the light condition. Cargo deadweight is, as its name implies, the
actual weight in tons of the cargo when loaded, as distinct from
stores, ballast etc.
1803.36	ULLAGE: The amount which a tank or vessel lacks of being full.
(See also OUTAGE)
44

-------
1803.37	VISCOSITY: The property of liquids which causes them to
resist instantaneous change of shape, or instantaneous re-arrangement
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 quality
of oil to flow through a"standard apparatus.
1803.38	VISCOUS: Thick, resistant to flow having a high viscosity.
1803.39	VOLATILE: Evaporates easily.
1804 Policy on the Use of Chemicals to Treat Floating Oils
1804.1 The Department of the Interior - Federal Water Quality Admin-
istration Policy relative to the use of chemicals to treat floating oil
is included for the information and instruction of the On-Scene Commanders
and all other persons concerned with the control and cleanup of spills of
oil. The complete policy statement follows:
1804.1-1 Chemicals should not be used to emulsify, disperse,
solubilize, or precipitate oil whenever the protection or
preservation of (a) fresh water supply sources, (b) major
shellfish or finfish nurseries, harvesting grounds or passage
areas, or (c) beaches is a prime concern.
Such chemicals should only be used in those surface water areas
and under those circumstances where preservation and protection
of water related natural resources is judged not to be the highest
priority or where a choice as to resource preservation may make
the use of such materials a necessary alternative.
1804.1-2 Examples of areas and circumstances where the use
of such chemicals might be acceptable are:
a.	where fire or safety hazards are presented by the
spill of a petroleum product;
b.	where large numbers of waterfowl may perish because
of the proximity of floating oil;
c.	under certain conditions, as a "polishing" or final
cleanup of light slicks of oil following mechanical
removal of floating oils.
45

-------
1804.1-3 Chemicals that emulsify, disperse, solubilize or
precipitate oil should be used only under the immediate
supervision of the Federal Water Quality Administration
except where it is judged that fire or safety hazards
require the immediate application of such chemicals.
1804.1-4 When chemical compounds are used in connection
with oil cleanup, only those compounds exhibiting minimum
toxicity toward the aquatic flora and fauna should be used.
The Federal Water Quality Administration is now developing
and will soon issue a standard procedure for determining
the toxicity of such chemicals.
1804.1-5 Materials which aid in the collection of floating
oils such as sorbents, gellants and viscosity control additives
are considered to be generally acceptable providing that these
materials do not in themselves or in combination with the oil
increase the pollution hazard.
1804.1-6 Research and development to improve chemicals which
emulsify, disperse, solubilize or precipitate is encouraged.
Whenever it is demonstrated to the complete satisfaction of
the Federal Water Quality Administration, that such a chemical,
by itself and in combination with oil is non-toxic, its use
may be approved in the areas where the protection or preserva-
tion of a) fresh water supply sources, or b) major shell-
fish or finfish nurseries, harvesting grounds or passage areas
is a prime concern.

Annex IX
1900 NON-FEDERAL INTERESTS
1901	General Policy
1901.1 The policy of the Federal Government is to respond only to
those situations which are beyond the response capability of State
and local-governments and private interests. Normally minor spills
will be well within the capability of non-Federal resources and
will not therefore require a Federal response. During moderate and
major spills or pollution incidents Federal response may be required.
The cognizant officials would be notified and Federal resources used
to supplement local resources.
1902	Planning and Preparedness
1902.1	The planning and preparedness functions incorporated in the
contingency plans also apply to non-Federal resources. The state
and local government and private interests should be encouraged to
participate at the planning and preparedness functions.
1902.2	State and local governments should be encouraged to incor-
porate the pollution spill contingency plan into existing emergency
planning.
1903	Commitment
1903.1	Firm commitments for response personnel and other resources
should be obtained from state and local governments.
1903.2	It is anticipated that Federal resources would only be used
if the response requirements exceed the state and local capabilities.
When no Federal resources are required, the predesignated OSC would
monitor the situation and be available to offer advice.

Annex X
2000 PROCEDURE FOR THE CONTROL OF OIL SPILLS
2000.1 There can be no hard and fast guidelines set down on paper
for the control of oil spills. Every oil spill encountered will be
somewhat different from those previously observed because of such
things as weather, wind, tidal conditions, location and the type and
amount of oil spilled.
In the ideal situation, when a spill occurs, there would be on hand
a staunch floating boom to immediately contain the oil, a vacuum tank
barge standing by to remove the oil from the water and, where appli-
cable, enough nontoxic, petroleum free emulsifier to disperse the re-
maining traces of the spilled oil.
We know that the ideal situation outlined above will probably never
occur. To assist the On-Scene-Commander in combatting an oil spill,
the following procedures are offered as guidelines that cover a number
of situations likely to be encountered by him. However, as mentioned
previously herein, every oil spill encountered will be different and
the On-Scene-Commander must rely on his personal judgment and past
experience and on the advice of the Regional Response Team, whose
combined judgment and experience will be available to assist him.
The most important factor in any oil spill is speed of reaction. The
first few minutes are crucial in that once the oil leaves its place
of containment, it may be carried by wind and tide over a large area
making recovery almost impossible.
Upon arrival at the site of oil spill, the On-Scene-Commander should
assay the situation and make note of the following:
1.	Amount of oil spilled.
2.	Amount of oil remaining in vessel or container that could
reach the navigable waters.
3.	Type of oil spilled.
4.	Wind direction and speed.
5.	Tide direction and speed.
6.	Nature of area in which spill occurred (recreational area,
residential area, shellfish beds, commercial finfish area,
wildlife area, fresh water supply area, industrial area, etc.)
7.	Amount of pollution abatement equipment available at the scene
of the spill.
8.	Estimate of the type and amount of pollution abatement equip-
ment needed to contain and remove the oil spill from the nav-
igable waters.
Once his estimate of the situation is completed, the On-Scene-Commander
should take, or have taken, a sample of the oil on the navigable water
and a sample from the source of the spill. Clean, unused, mason-type,
pint size jars with a screw-on cap should be used, if available. Samples
from the source should contain a full pint of oil. Samples from the nav-
igable water should contain as much oil as possible.
H8

-------
As soon as possible after taking the samples, the samples should be
tagged to show "Sample #1" and "Sample #2." To preclude a mix-up of
the samples in the future, Sample ft1 should always be taken from the
water and so marked.
These samples will be marked with the name of the person taking them,
the name of any witness, the date, time, location and the name of the
vessel or plant from which the spill occurred. The samples should be
carefully safeguarded, for now they become evidence which may be used
in a court of law.
Every time the samples change hands, they must be receipted in order
to establish a chain of custody from the time they were obtained to
the time they are presented in court as evidence. All samples will
be accompanied by a chain of custody sheet.
After having obtained his samples, the OSC should next attempt to photo-
graph the scene of the oil spill. Every effort should be made to correlate
the photographs of the spill with a known or identifiable landmark, (i.e.,
vessel, buoy, etc.), or other readily identifiable object, keeping in mind
that all photographs then may be entered into a court of law as evidence.
Photographs should be in color if possible. Notations should be kept on
each photograph as to: time, date, subject, name of photographer, distance
from camera to object, lens setting and shutter speed.
The method which the On-Scene-Commander chooses to fight the spill should
depend on the type of spill and its location.
Example #1:
Gasoline, aviation jet fuel, naptha, etc., spilled in an area where fire
or explosion would result in loss of life or high value property destruc-
tion. The On-Scene-Commander should recommend fire fighting foam, water
jet spray, even the use of emulsifiers. In the event of a highly volatile
spill, all open flames, sparks and motor vessels should be kept from the
immediate area of the spill. Normally, containment in this type of spill
should only be used to exclude the fuel from an area rather than contain
it to an area. Fortunately, the highly volatile petroleum product dissi-
pates rather rapidly and as time progresses, the chance of explosion or
fire diminishes. In all cases, in the event of a spill of this nature,
the nearest fire department should be notified.
Example #2;
Oil (any type from lightweight oils to heavy crudes) spill from a vessel.
Again, the action taken in each spill will depend on the circumstances re-
lating to the incident. First thoughts should be given to off-loading the
oil from damaged tanks into a -lighter, or cross pumping to other on-board
tanks. The more oil recovered in this manner means less oil to be removed
from the navigable water itself. Once the oil has reached the water, you
have a different problem. The use of floating booms to contain a spill
of this nature is highly desirable - in calm waters. However, booms are
quite useless when the vessel is emitting oil in a high running sea. In
fact, if a tide is running more than three knots per hour, even in inland
waters, the contemporary floating boom will not confine oil very effectively.
49

-------
If the sea is calm, the use of booms should be attempted as they can
be effective to contain oil. Care should be used in attaching the
boom to the ship. One end of the boom should be made fast to the ship
by either tying it with the lines provided or attach the boom to the
ship's skin with a powerful magnet. When one end of the boom is attached
to the ship the other end should be "snaked" gently around the area to be
enclosed and firmly fastened to the ship on the far end of the desired
enclosure.
Once the pollutant is contained the next logical step is removal. This
can be done in a number of ways, provided the weather remains calm. If
a slop oil barge is available, this can be used to suck the oil from the
water through vacuum hoses. In the New York Harbor area, there are avail-
able at the present time, six such vessels with a combined capacity of
651,000 gallons.
Another method of removing spilled oil from the water is known as the
absorbent family. This includes, but is not limited to: straw, sawdust,
rope, bark, chrome leather, Polyurethane foam, Polypropylene fiber, etc.
The absorbent method of removing oil from water has two drawbacks; it is
impracticable on a major oil spill and second, recovery of the oil soaked
absorbent can, in itself, be a major problem.
Still another method of treating major oil spills is chemical dispersion.
Here is the classic case of where the cure can be more deadly than the
illness. The general use of detergents is not recommended until such
time as a standard bioassay test for toxicity and degradability is de-
veloped by the Federal government. However, there are such times and
situations where detergents can be useful. Examples of areas and cir-
cumstances where the use of such chemical detergents might be acceptable
are:
a.	Where fire or safety hazards are presented by the spill of a
petroleum product.
b.	Where large numbers of waterfowl may perish because of the
proximity of floating oil.
Chemicals that emulsify, disperse, solubilize or precipitate oil should
be used only under the immediate supervision of the Federal Water Quality
Administration except where it is judged that fire or safety hazards re-
quire the immediate application of such chemicals.
Example #3:
Oil Spill from Shore Installations. By far, the greater majority of oil
pollution incidents of the navigable waters occur from shore installations
rather than from seagoing vessels. In a refinery or other major installa-
tions dealing with oils, many opportunities exist for the spill of oil into
the navigable waters. Some of the risks inherent in this type of operation
are as follows: In refining of crude oil some of the operations include
distillation, thermal or catalytic cracking, reforming, chemical treatment,
alkalation, polymerization, isomerisation and solvent refining. During
these operations, oily wastes are released from the plants to the sewer
50

-------
system because of leaky connections, pump-gland leakage, water with-
drawals from product accumulators, sampling connections, spills, line
breakage and tank ruptures. In addition to the foregoing, we have the
"hot residua" problem: hot residua sometimes are stored at temperatures
well over 212°F. The accidental induction of even a small amount of water
to a tank containing such residual oil may cause a violent "boilover",
which may spread oil across adjacent yards and into the navigable waters.
Another source of oil spills from shore installations is the human error
spill. It is surprising, the number of times that operators have tried
to place 150,000 gallons of oil into a 100,000 gallon tank. Or the op-
erator who tries to place 100,000 gallons of oil into a tank with 100,000
gallon capacity, that already contains 50,000 gallons of oil.
After having obtained his samples and assayed the situation, one of the
first things the On-Scene-Commander should do is try to stop the source
of the spill and contain as much of it as possible on land. This can
be done in many ways, again, depending on the actual situation. If the
spill is caused by a separator failure, stop all sources of incoming
water and/or oil. Have the oil removed from the overloaded separator by
manual labor, if necessary. If the oil has overflowed a tank and is run-
ning down an embankment into the water, a moat can be cut into the earth
by a bulldozer. If sandbags are available, a hastily constructed dike
can be erected to contain the oil. If the oil spill occurred within a
pre-constructed diked-in area, check to insure that drainage holes are
plugged up.
Once the oil reaches the water, it can be treated and contained as shown
in the previous examples, supra. In the case of a large spill from a
shore installation where the ground cover is natural earth, it would be
wise to retain a boom on the water surrounding the site of a spill for
several days after the spill has been cleaned up. The reason for this
is the oil may sink into the porous earth and leach out into the water-
way for some time to come.
To obtain maximum effect, the hoses of the tank trucks should be sus-
pended just above the oil mass, from 1/8 to 1/16 of an inch, with one
lip of hose actually touching the oil. It has been found this method
is more efficient than dropping the hose down into the oil/water mass.
