Agencies and organizations participating in this plan are: Federal Government Department of Defense Department of Health, Education and Welfare Department of the Interior Department of Transportation Office of Emergency Preparedness State Governments New York Private Organizations Kill Van Kull/Newark Bay Harbor Pollution Abatement Committee Arthur Kill Mutual Aid Group Vermont Petroleum Association New York State Petroleum Association ------- 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. 104 Abbreviations 104.1 Department and Agency Title Abbreviations DHEW - Department of Health, Education and Welfare DOD - Department of Defense D0I - Department of the Interior DOT - Department of Transportation OEP - Office of Emergency Preparedness FWQA - Federal Water Quality Administration US0G - U.

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 spill situation exists, the On-Scene Commander should follow the same general procedures as for a minor spill. Additionally the On-Scene Commander should: a. Make a recommendation on declaration of an incident. b. Formulate plans to combat the situation. c. Initiate Phase II and III actions as appropriate. 15 ------- 506.2-5 When the initial report indicates that a major spill has occurred or that a potential major spill situation exists, the On-Scene Commander should follow the same procedures as for minor and moderate spills. However, he should immediately report the situation to the RRC even if the initial report has not been confirmed. 900 Amendments and Changes 901 General 901.1 This plan was developed in accordance with the National Con- tingency Plan and was concurred in by the participating agencies. Recommendations for amendments or changes to this plan may be sub- mitted to the Regional Response Team by any participating agency.

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. 20 ------- INLAND NAVIGABLE WATERS ------- FEDERAL WATER QUALITY ADMINISTRATION Hudson-Delaware Basins Office Edison, N.

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.

The same precepts govern in these instances as do other operations in which the Coast Guard, FWQA and other operating agencies are involved. 1502 Objectives 1502.1 The objectives of the communications and reports are: 1502.1-1 To speed the flow of information pertaining to an incident; 1502.1-2 To relay advice, instructions and reports per- taining to an incident; and 1502.1-3 To provide for alerting, notification, surveillance and warning of a pollution incident. 1503 Communications Procedures 1503.1 Normal communication circuits of each signatory agency may be used to effectuate this plan. The national and district or regional offices and telephone numbers of primary alerting and notification offices of interested agencies will be maintained in NRC and as ap- propriate in RRC. 1503.2 The initial reporting of a pollution incident will be in accordance with the information and format as described hereafter. 1503.3 SITREPS (Situation Reports) will be submitted by RRT to NRT in a timely manner as developments occur and at 0800 and 2000 local time on each day of the operation. 1504 Message Addressees 1504.1 Messages intended for the National Response Center should be addressed to the Commandant, U. S. Coast Guard. 1504.2 Messages intended for the National Response Team should be addressed to the Commandant, U. S. Coast Guard, for action. Informa- tion addressees include the Department of Transportation, Washington, D. C.; Federal Water Quality Administration, Washington, D. C.; Office of Emergency Preparedness, Washington, D. C.; Department of Health, Education^-affd Welfare, Washington, D. C.; and Department of Defense, Washington, D. C. 34 ------- 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 or by others. 1534 Plans 1534.1 The plans section should include all planned action by the responsible party, State and local forces, the Federal Government and any others. 35 ------- 1535 Recommendations 1535.1 Any recommendations that the OSG has pertaining to the response should be included in this section. 1536 Status 1536.1 The status section would indicate case closed, case pends or Federal participation terminated, as appropriate. 1537 General Instructions 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. 37 ------- Annex VII 1700 LEGAL (This annex will be provided when completed.) 38 ------- Annex VIII 1800 TECHNICAL INFORMATION 1801 Technical Library 1801.1 A technical library of pertinent pollution control technical documents will be maintained in the NRC and in each RRC. Such infor- mation should be useful as reference information to the experienced OSC and instructional to less experienced personnel. 1802 Specific References 1802.1 As a minimum the following reference documents will be main- tained in the NRC and in each RRC technical library. . 1802.1-1 Current National Multiagency Oil and Hazardous Materials Pollution Contingency Plan. 1802.1-2 Current Regional Oil and Hazardous Materials Pollution Contingency Plan. 1802.1-3 Oil and Hazardous Materials, Emergency Procedures in the Water Environment.

Conversions marked (*) are exact by definition. 18 03.12 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 gas oils 7.2 - 7.9 diesel oils 7.0 - 7.9 lubricating oils 6.8 - 7.6 fuel oils 6.6 - 7.0 asphaltic bitumens 5.9 - 6.5 (As a general rule-of-thumb use 6.5 barrels or 250 gallons per ton of oil.) 41 ------- 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 50 appearance barely visible under most favorable light conditions visible as a silvery sheen on surface water 'slightly colored" "brightly colored" 'dull" "dark" 100 200 666 1332 first trace of color may be observed bright bands of color are visible colors begin to turn dull brown much darker brown 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. 46 ------- 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. 47 ------- 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. 2000.2 FEDERAL RESOURCES U.S. COAST GUARD 1. Vessels (many types and sizes) 2.
