EPA REGION III INLAND AREA COMMITTEE
AREA CONTINGENCY PLAN
VOLUME ZZ
I. GEOGRAPHIC DE8CRZPTION
The Region III Inland Area encompasses the entire inland zone
of the standard Federal Region III.
A. GEOGRAPHIC BOUNDARIES
The Regional Contingency Plan details the geographic
boundaries of Region III and includes a detailed description
of the Inland/Coastal boundary as defined by an agreement
between EPA Region III and the US Coast Guard Fifth District.
The applicable MOUs are referenced in Volume II, Section II.
G.
The western bank of the Ohio River forms the boundary
between EPA Regions III and V. EPA Region III will respond to
spills into or on the Ohio River. EPA Region V will respond
to spills involving fixed facilities west of that boundary
(Ohio). The Big Sandy River, along the southern border of
West Virginia, forms the boundary between EPA Regions IV and
III. EPA Region IV will respond to spills into or on the Big
Sandy River. EPA Region III will respond to spills involving
fixed facilities on the West Virginia side of the Big Sandy
River.
B. AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY
This plan is effective for the inland area and waters of
the United States within Standard Federal Region III as
defined above. EPA is the predesignated Federal On-Scene
Cpordinator within this area. In conjunction with the area of
responsibility in the Inland zone the US Coast Guard has six
Captain of the Port areas, these are:

C. AREA SPILL HISTORY
Experience indicates that major pollution incidents can
occur at any location where quantities of pollutant materials
are stored, processed, or transported. In general, high risk
areas are where the greatest concentration of petroleum and
chemical facilities are located.
The following areas are considered particularly high risk
operations by EPA:
- Highways
- Air Transportation
- Railways
- Vessels
- Fixed facility
- Pipelines
- Offshore
- Underground Storage Tank
- Aboveground Storage Tank
The table below shows the number of incidents by source as
reported in the region over the last three years.

*Data not svailable
Oil and hazardous material releases in the region have,
been tracked by state for the last seven years. Over this
time, Pennsylvania has consistently recorded the highest
number of both oil and hazardous substances releases, and the
District of Columbia the fewest. Releases are categorized as
oil, hazardous material, unknown or other. For the region as
a whole, oil releases have occurred more frequently than the
other materials. The unknown and other categories make up a
2

smaller percentage of the total releases. The average number
of total releases, by state, for the seven-year period were as
follows:
Delaware 87
District of Columbia 82
Maryland 321
Pennsylvania 1336
Virginia 436
West Virginia 456
D. SENSITIVE AREAS
This section sets forth the procedures for compiling the
sensitive areas appendix:
1. Sensitive areas are being identified geographically. The
size of each geographic area will be based on the size
and nature of sensitive environments. For example, a
unit will be described as that area which encompasses a
common type of environment and similar habitats. All
areas may not be sized equally.
2. The ACP committee will rely on facility response plans
which have been submitted to EPA for an initial
identification of sensitive areas. Additional resources,
such as the Three Rivers Pollution Response Council and
F/S Trustees, will also be utilized.
3. The ACP committee will map sensitive areas using the GIS
system which will appear in the Appendix.
4. The initial draft of the sensitive areas appendix will be
forwarded to state and federal natural resources
trustees, including U.S. Fish & wildlife, for review and
comment.
5. Facilities whose response plans inadequately or
incorrectly identify sensitive environments will be
contacted by EPA to revise their plans.
6. Contents of Appendix
a. Appendix 2 contains the following information:
General contact list for current information on
resources;
Endangered species;
Cultural and historical authorities;
Maps and sensitive resource data sheets;
Prioritization matrix;
Guidelines for approval of countermeasures;
Guidelines for monitoring plans; and

ORGANIZATIONAL FRAMEWORK
A. RESPONSE SYSTEMS AND POLICIES
1. Unified Command System
The concept of unified command simply means that all who
have a jurisdictional role (i.e. F/S/L government, and
responsible parties) at a multi-jurisdictional incident
contribute to the process of:
Determining overall incident objectives;
Selection of strategies;
Insuring the joint planning of tactical activities;
Insuring integrated tactical operations; and
Making maximum use of available resources.

SUPPORT
a. On-Scene Coordinator
The On-Scene Coordinator is the predesignated Federal
official responsible for ensuring immediate and effective
response to a discharge or threatened discharge of oil or a
hazardous substance. The U.S. Coast Guard designates OSCs for
the U.S. coastal zones, while the U.S. EPA designates OSCs for
the U.S. inland zones.
5
05/11/94
-------
Where appropriate, the OSC shall establish a unified
command consisting of, at a minimum, the OSC, the state
Incident Commander, and the Responsible Party representative.
The OSC is responsible for assigning individuals from within
the response community (Federal, State, local or private), as
necessary, to fill the designated positions in the NRS
incident level response organization. It should be noted,
however, that one individual may fill several of the
designated positions. These assignments will be predicated on
the nature of the spill and the need for extensive manning.
For a complete description of the On-Scene Coordinator's
role refer to Volume I, Section II.F.
b. Support Agency Coordinator (SAC)
The SAC is the prime representative of the support agency
for response actions. The SAC's responsibilities may include:
providing and reviewing data and documents as requested by the
lead agency during planning, design, and cleanup activities of
the response action and providing other assistance as
requested.
c. Responsible Party
Under OPA 90, the responsible party is responsible for
the cleanup of a discharge, and must submit appropriate
response plans defining the structure to accomplish this task,
to the maximum extent practicable. . OPA further requires that
certain owners/operators prepare tank vessel or facility
response plans defining the structure to respond to the
maximum extent practicable, to a worst case discharge, and to
the substantial threat of such a discharge, of oil or a
hazardous substance. The RP representative or qualified
individual is responsible for implementing the vessel/facility
response plan. Appendix 5 provides a list of those facilities
that have submitted FRPs for EPA approval.

a. Qualified Individual
The qualified individual is the predesignated on-scene
coordinator representing the responsible party. Under OPA 90,
the responsible party has the primary responsibility for
responding to a discharge to the maximum extent practical and
in accordance with the response plans developed under OPA 90.
The qualified individual will represent the responsible
party in the unified command system and coordinate response
activities with the OSC. However, the qualified individual
will remain in command of the RP's response activities unless
the OSC determines that the discharge poses an imminent and
substantial threat to the public health or welfare, pursuant
to section 4201 of OPA, at which time the OSC will direct all
federal/state and private actions.
b. Emergency Coordinator (EC) /Emergency Response Coordinator
(ERC)
The vessel or facility response plan may identify an
EC/ERC who is responsible for activating on-scene mitigation
and response personnel and provides notification of the
incident to the qualified individual. The facility or vessel
EC/ERC, in consultation with the qualified individual; will
notify and mobilize the appropriate level of spill response
resources.
During smaller spills, the EC/ERC may be the on-scene
representative of the qualified individual and will direct
8

2. SONS Response Structure
The SONS organization incorporates the unified command
and control support mechanism, predesignates key positions,
defines their roles, clarifies the relationships of key
functional elements, and integrates the use of Coast Guard
Reservists (for Coast Guard directed responses). The SONS
plan provides for significant augmentation of the regional
organization by a national structure containing 6 key
elements: the National Incident Coordinator (NIC), the
Alternate National Incident Manager, the National Incident
Coordinator's Chief of Staff, the Crisis Action
Center/Emergency Operations Center (CAC/EOC), the SONS Area
Operations Coordinator, and the National Incident
Coordinator's Staff.

-------
A complete description of the SONS organization can be
found in Appendix E to the NCP.
D. FUNDING/ENFORCEMENT/COST RECOVERY PROCEDURES
1. Spill Funding Procedures
Documentation and Cost Recovery Procedures
The documentation and cost recovery phase consists of a
viae variety of activities fully described in the, paragraphs
below, although procedures during this phase are extremely
incident specific. It is important to document all costs
involved with the incident response so that they may be
recovered later from the responsible party.
Proper and accurate documentation of all facts, actions,
and costs concerning each pollution incident is imperative to
substantiate what actually occurred. After the cleanup is
complete, these documents serve as the only record of the
incident used to impose fines or recover response costs from
those parties responsible. Samples,. photographs, statements
of witnesses, and records must be adequate for legal and
research purposes.
After the incident response itself, matters of
responsibility, liability, and cost surface as legal issues.
The OSC will alert the RRT of any potential legal problems.
RRT members should notify their respective attorneys who will,
in turn, coordinate with Coast Guard council concerning joint
activities to issue violations of the FWPCA and the Oil
Pollution Act.
The OSC may arrange for CG or legal assistance to
coordinate with counsel arranged by the RRT. Legal assistance
from CG or MLC may also be needed for any legal matters
regarding the response..
2. Enforcement
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA), as
amended, mandates that a civil penalty, not to exceed $10,000
must be assessed in every instance where there is a discharge
of a harmful quantity of oil or one of the hazardous
substances listed in 40 CFR 117.3. The amount of penalty
assessed is governed by circumstances surrounding each
individual case.
3. Cost Recovery
The documentation necessary for cost recovery will vary
greatly as activities during the cost recovery phase are
extremely incident specific. As a minimum, the following
documentation should be maintained during a response:
11
05/11/94
-------
• The costs of all contractor services, supplies,
equipment, and personnel should be accounted for during
a federalized response.
• All expenses incurred during a response should be logged.
Copies of Purchase Orders, SF 44s, credit card receipts,
and all other financial transactions pertaining to
purchases made as a result of the response should be
maintained.
• All TAD orders and associated per diem, and hours
expended on the response should be accurately documented.
• Cost computations must be documented to justify the cost,
of all personnel and equipment used during the response.
All computations should be based on the Standard Rates.
• All Documents pertaining to analysis and disposal of
recovered materials should be maintained for at least 3
years.
Other federal, state, and local governments are
encouraged to maintain similar record keeping, as it may be
possible for those agencies to seek reimbursement for costs
incurred during a response. Inquiries or requests concerning
cost reimbursement for agencies other than the USC6 should be
directed to the OSC.
Documentation will be used in the various reports filed
by the OSC (i.e. - Contractor Expense Report, Out-of-Pocket
Expense Report, Cost Recovery Report, etc.) to pay for and
also recover expenses for the response-
4. OSC Access to the Fund
Legislation mandating the cleanup of oil and hazardous
substances has often included within it a mechanism to fund
these types of operations. Section 300.58 of the NCP outlines
the types of funds available to federal response
organizations.
Funding a Federal Response to a Discharge of Oil The Oil
Pollution Act of 1990 . established the Oil Pollution Trust
Fund. The Trust Fund replaced the "Revolving Fund"
established by section 311(k) of the FWPCA. The guidelines
concerning specific uses of the new fund are still being
developed. Until the new guidelines have been established,
the OSC may rely on the Draft Guideline. The instruction
provides guidance on the appropriate use of the fund and the
procedures for reimbursement of costs incurred during any
potential or actual oil spill.
Criteria for Use of the Oil Fund The use of the fund
should be considered when:
a). There is a potential or actual discharge of oil into a
navigable water of the United States or adjoining
shorelines and the responsible party is unknown or not
taking adequate mitigating action.
12
05/11/94
-------
b). Government out-of-pocket expenses are in excess of
$500.00 during a response to any actual or potential
spill whether or not the responsible party is known.
c). The responsible party is known and Government expenses,
excluding out-of-pocket cost, exceed $1,000.00.
Government expenses should be calculated using standard
' rates.
d). The OSC uses reservists to assist with response efforts.
If the spiller is known, the OSC will issue a Letter of
Federal Assumption to the responsible party prior to hiring a
cleanup contractor. The spiller should also be notified of
his/her liability pertaining to government costs even if the
cleanup is not federalized. This notification is accomplished
by issuing the Letter of Federal Interest.
Opening the oil Pollution Fund Once the decision has
been made to open the fund, the OSC should take the following
actions:
a). Estimate the cost of the response prior to opening the
fund.
b). Once the approximate cost of the response has been
established, the OSC may open the fund by contacting the
CG District operations center. The fund will be opened
by the duty officer, who will provide the OSC with a
Pollution Incident Control (PIC) number and the maximum
dollar amount obligated to that number. CG may pre-
commit up to a maximum of $2,000,000 for the incident;
however, the OSC must seek contracting assistance from
Commander, MLC LANT if contracting costs exceed or are
expected to exceed $25,000.
c). Once the OSC has been issued a PIC number, a commercial
cleanup contractor may be hired.
Selecting and Hiring a Cleanup Contractor The OSC has
final approval of the selection of a cleanup contractor which
is based, on a balance of the following factors:
'/ •
a). The ability of the contractor to provide adequate
personnel and materials for the response, considering the
magnitude of the problem;
b). The location of the contractor in relation to the site
and his ability to respond in a timely fashion.
Contractors may be engaged in another project which could
hamper equipment availability or response time;
c). The cost of the contractor's services. Although some
contractors may charge more for their services, they
could be less expensive in the long run if that
particular contractor is known to be conservative with
resources and can complete the job in a shorter time
period.
Authorization to Proceed The OSC should immediately hire
a contractor with a verbal agreement and then follow up with
an Authorization to Proceed letter. The Authorization to
13
05/11/94
-------
Proceed gives the contractor permission to proceed under the
FPN number, insures that the conditions set forth in the BOA
are complied with, and sets an expenditure ceiling for the
cleanup. The OSC must notify C6 via message to MLCLANT and
the Coast Guard Finance Center to facilitate payment
authority.
Purchase Orders Purchase orders will normally be issued
by Commander, MLC LANT; however, if a contractor refuses to
proceed without a purchase order the OSC may issue purchase
orders for a project which are not expected to exceed $25,000
in contractual costs.
Supervising a Federal Cleanup For all federal projects,
the OSC must provide at least one supervisor for each
operation. The supervisor also insures site safety and
directs the cleanup contractor to use the most efficient and
cost effective cleanup techniques available. The OSC may have
to rely on the Strike Team and the augmentation by reserve
personnel to ensure that each site is properly supervised.
Allowable Expenditures Fund expenditures which pertain
directly to Phase III activities, such as contractor costs for
removal and disposal are allowed at the OSC's discretion. If
the OSC has questions about funding contractor activities
which are undefined, he should consult CG (mep), MLCLANT
(fcp), or the National Pollution Fund Center. The use of
Coast Guard, federal, state, and local resources are also at
the OSC's discretion. Reimbursement for costs incurred as a
result of using Coast Guard or other agencies should be in
accordance with
Items Covered The Oil Fund may be authorized for the
following expenditures:
a). All contractor equipment and personnel necessary to
complete the cleanup, including per diem and travel
costs, if applicable;
b). Reimbursement of the OSC's "out-of-pocket expenses"
during an actual or potential oil spill, even if the
responsible party is funding the cleanup;
c). Studies to assess the extent of the environmental impact;
d). Sample analyses to determine the properties of the
pollutant so that the most viable cleanup and disposal
techniques can be determined;
e). Salary reimbursement for personnel from other federal
agencies, who do not normally assist the OSC in response
activities, when their assistance is . specifically
requested by the OSC; and
f). Replacement or repair of' any contractor or Coast Guard
equipment damaged during cleanup operations.
Items Not Covered The Oil Fund will not cover the cost
of the following:
a). A response to a pollutant which is not oil;
14
05/11/94
-------
b). Personnel, materials, equipment, or services which are
not authorized and certified by the OSC as necessary to
Phase III removal actions for that particular response.
Funding a Federal Response to a Discharge of Hazardous
Substances The Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) was enacted
to provide the means for federal response activities to clean
up releases of hazardous substances. This program and the
corresponding funding is administered by the EPA.
Criteria for Use of Federal Funds Similar to funding a
federal response to a discharge of oil, CERCLA funds may be
used to perform a federal cleanup when there is a pollution
release and the responsible party is unknown or not talcing
adequate mitigating action. The difference is that the
release is of a hazardous substance as classified under CERCLA
rather than oil.
Opening the Fund A Memorandum 6f Understanding between
the USCG and the EPA allows the USCG to access the Hazardous

Priorities and Strategies
Priorities - 40 CFR Section 300.317 clearly states the
following national response priorities.
1). The top priority for every response is the safety of
human life, both the public and the response community.
2). Stabilizing the situation to preclude the event from
worsening.
19
05/11/94
-------
3). Using all necessary containment and removal tactics
to minimize adverse impact to the environment. Section
IV of this plan describes the various countermeasures
available to the responder to ensure a timely and
effective response.
b. Strategies - The ACP response strategy to ensure the
protection of environmentally and economically sensitive
areas is based on the national strategy and is more fully
discussed in Volume I Section III.E. All parts of the
national response strategy should be addressed
concurrently, with safety and stabilization the highest
priorities. Implementing concurrent containment and
removal tactics requires identifying pre-planned
strategies for addressing all spills. The following
table outlines the types of strategies that are
recommended by the AC to be included in plans for each
size spill scenario. Any or all of these strategies may
be employed to respond to oil spills depending on the
spill's location.
On-water
This includes skimming, containment and
spill tracking strategies. Also the
identification of access points for both
deploying equipment and recovering oil.
Riverbank or
Close-to-shore
Inland spills typically involve riverbank
or shoreline strategies, shallow water
operating capabilities, control or
containment booming and protection
strategies.
Riverbank or
Shoreline
Protection
The identification and prioritization of-
environmentally and economically sensitive
areas is necessary for the development and
evaluation of shoreline protection
strategies.
Riverbank or
Shoreline
Cleanup
Apply the existing Region III RRT Shoreline
Countermeasures Manual, develop specific
strategies based on the shoreline type and
energy and recommended techniques, for
shoreline cleanup.
3. Response Procedures
Response Actions for the Discharge of Oil Actions
performed in response to a discharge of oil will generally
follow a four phase progression, as outlined in the NOP:
Phase I - Discovery and Notification
Phase II - Preliminary Assessment and Initiation
of Action .
Phase III - Containment, Countermeasures, Cleanup
and Disposal

a. Phase I - Discovery and Notification
Initial discovery of an oil spill requires an eye witness
who observes a sheen, sludge, or emulsion on the surface of a
navigable waterway of the United States and who, recognizing
this as a hazard and violation of law, reports this incident
to the NRC or to the local Coast Guard office.
21

-------
b. Phase II - Preliminary Assessment and Initiation of
Action
Pertinent and timely information that gives an accurate
picture of the incident makes it possible to plan an
expeditious and effective response effort. Immediately
following notification, the OSC must conduct a preliminary
assessment of the situation using all available personnel.
f '
c. Phase III - Containment, Countermeasures, Cleanup and
Disposal
To be effective, Phase III actions must begin as soon as
possible after a discharge or potential discharge is
discovered. The objectives of this phase include:
1). Protection of public health and welfare;
2). Protection of environmentally sensitive areas;
3). Protection of wildlife and their habitats;
4). Protection of public interest areas, particularly,
those that affect local economies.

IV. COUHTKRMEASURE8
In any oil pollution incident the OSC must choose the
best method from the response "tools" available to him. By
policy of the Federal Region III RRT, the traditional method
of physical recovery and removal of oil is the preferred
clean-up technique. However, under certain conditions other
countermeasures or alternative methods can be very effective
tools used by the OSC. Region III OSCs are aware of the types
of circumstances where dispersants present the best response
tool, and have conducted contingency planning for their use.
Some of these methods may need to meet certain criteria such
as: concurrence from the RRT; approval from a Federal, State
or Local government; or a permit issued from a Federal, State
or Local agency. Many of these countermeasures may require
consultation with trustees or state agencies.
A. TRADITIONAL METHODS
Traditional methods are those methods that may be
considered standard, best available technology to physically
recover/remove the oil from the environment. These
methods/techniques typically do not require approval or
preapproval from federal, state, or local governments.
1. Prevention - The implementation of SOP training and
engineering controls that aim to prevent unsafe situations or
actions.
2. Recovery - Defensive actions usually begin as soon .as
possible to prevent, minimize or mitigate the threat of a
released material. Mechanical methods are put in place to
quickly control the source of discharge; to speed the
placement of physical barriers; to protect sensitive areas;
and to speed up salvage operations. Mechanical methods may
require consultation with Local and State agencies as weill as
Federal Trustees.
a. Containment - The appropriate use of any booming,
berming, or trenching device to prevent the further migration
of released material.
b. Protection - The act of guarding any resources from
potential exposure of released material.
c. Removal - Actively containing and collecting any spilled
material using such methods as Oleophillic materials to
collect oil (may require Federal, State, or Local
consultation).
B. ALTERNATIVE METHODS
Alternative methods are those methods available to the
OSC, that usually require approval or pre-approval by federal,
state, or local governments, these technologies may also
require RRT concurrence or federal; state or local permits.
46
05/11/94
-------
1. Decanting - the process of allowing oil and water to
separate in a contained area, such as a vacuum tank, and then
releasing the water back to the original environment (may need
State or Local permit).
2. In-situ Burning - the ignition and burning of oil at the
source or area of the spilled material (requires RRT
concurrence).
3. Shoreline Washing - hot, cold, or warm water, used in a
high, medium, or low pressure spray to allow for the removal
of oil from a shoreline.
4. Staging Areas for Disposal - an area designated for use
in the event of a spill to hold contaminated material until
disposal arrangements are made. (Areas may need approval or
pre-approval by Federal, State, or Local agencies.)
5. Incineration/Thermal Destruction - the thermal
destruction of waste material such as PPE or sorbents that
have accumulated as a result of a release (may require State
or Local permits).
C. CHEMICAL COUNTERMEASURES
1. Authorization of Use
OPA requires that the Area Contingency Plan describe the
procedures to be followed for obtaining an expedited decision
regarding the use of dispersants. Appendix 4 of this plan,
the Region III Dispersant Employment Evaluation Plan (DEEP),
as developed and approved by the Region XII RRT, describes in
detail the procedures for obtaining decisions for approval of
the use of dispersants.
Under Section 300.910 of the NCP, only the OSC may
authorize the use of . chemical countermeasures. Such
authorization requires the concurrence of the RRT
representatives from EPA, the states and appropriate natural
resource trustees. To facilitate this concurrence, the RRTs
and AC are required as part of their planning activities to
address the appropriate use of dispersants listed in Subpart
J of the NCP as follows:
a. Dispersants
b. Surface Washing Agents
c. Surface Collecting Agents
d. Bioremediation Agents
e. Burning Agents
f. Miscellaneous oil Spill Control Agent
g. Sorbent material (do not require approval, concurrence,
permits, or consultation)
hv Mixed material
47
05/11/94
-------
This ACP collectively refers to dispersants and other
chemicals listed in Subpart J as chemical countermeasures.
For a complete discussion on authorization of use see the RCP,
Annex J, Section C.
2. Preauthorized Use of Chemical Countermeasures
The NCP authorizes the RRTs and ACs to identify and
evaluate the appropriateness, in advance, of the use of
certain chemical countermeasures under specified circumstances
as described in the RCP. On areas identified and approved in
advance, the OSC may authorize the use of the product without
obtaining the specific concurrences as described in the NCP.
Except in unusual circumstances, dispersants will not be
used in the Ohio River and its tributaries. The fast currents
and the large number of shallow water oil collection points in
the river are conducive to mechanical cleanup methods and do
not lend themselves well to dispersant use. No sites are
currently being considered for preapproval of use of
dispersants. Recommendations by the Area Committee for
consideration of preapproval of dispersants shall follow the
procedures currently outlined in the Region III DEEP. The AC
is developing approval and preapproval procedures, guidelines
and standards that will be incorporated into this plan, upon
the approval of the AC (see Section IV.E of this plan).
D. DISPOSAL
Disposal of oily wastes and debris resulting from cleanup
of a spill site will be in accordance with applicable federal
and state regulations. Potential problem areas for disposal
may include such things as: oily debris; oiled PPE; and oiled
animals. When the specific characteristics of the oil or
chemical are not known, it is necessary to first have the
waste material analyzed. A list of laboratories capable of
providing this type of analytical service is shown in Appendix
1 - Directory.
If the recovered material is classified as hazardous
waste, it must be properly manifested prior to transportation.
The manifest will include the EPA identification number as
well as other information on the generator, the transporter,
and the treatment, storage, and disposal facility (TSD)
receiving the waste. The EPA generator number may be obtained
from each state's environmental office.
Delaware: Contact DE DNREC, Division of Air and Waste
Management's Hazardous Waste Management Branch at (302)739-
3689 for hazardous waste issues and the Solid Waste Branch at
(302)739-3820 for non-hazardous waste issues. After normal
working hours disposal issues can be addressed by DE DNREC
Environmental Response Team members. There are no commercial
hazardous waste treatment, storage or disposal facilities in
Delaware.

AWAITING INPUT FROM MD, PA, AND VA
For cleanup action initiated by the OSC in which the U.S.
Coast Guard would be considered the generator of the waste,
the EPA generator number issued to the MSO/Group shall be
used. A disposal facility-will be selected by the OSC. The
selection should be the most economically feasible location
which meets all federal and state requirements. For incidents
involving a major spill, where conventional methods for the
transportation and disposal of the waste would not be
practical,, other alternatives, such as on-site incineration,
burial, or temporary qn-site storage, would have to be
considered on a case by case basis. This Would require
coordination between numerous local, state and federal
government representatives. During these instances the OSC
might require the assistance of the RRT or NRT.

V. RELATIONSHIP TO OTHER PLANS
A. PLAN INTEGRATION
Regional response policies and preparedness activities,
concerning both inland and coastal issues, are currently
addressed through the RRT, and outlined in the Regional
Contingency Plan, which is approved by both the EPA and USCG
co-chairs. Plan integration is currently provided by
overlapping membership on coastal and inland Area Committees
by the State representative of the RRT, as well as by
participation by EPA Region III in the appropriate coastal
Area Committee and subcommittees. Future activities will be
to develop coordination through EPA OSCs to ensure consistency
between the planning and response activities the inland Area
Committees of Regions III, IV and V. (A pilot effort has been
proposed for Huntington, WV area in conjunction with USCG COTP
Huntington efforts.)
B. INTEGRATION WITH FACILITY AND VESSEL RESPONSE PLANS
Facility and vessel responise plans, required by Section
4202(a)(5) of OPA, shall be reviewed and approved for
consistency with this Plan (ACP). During a response, the OSC
shall meet with the other responding parties to coordinate and
integrate the response described in this plan with all other
relevant plans including, but not limited to, Federal, State,
local, tribal, and private plans. The Area Committee will
review effectiveness and integration of all plans based upon
actual responses, exercises, and all other relevant
information leading to enhancement of these plans.
C. OTHER PLANS
This plan incorporates the planning and response elements
from many of the plans listed below. Its intent is to enhance
the contingency planning of officials at all levels of
government and to assure preplanning of joint response
efforts. The purpose of this section is to identify other
plans and/or requirements which may be helpful to federal,
state and local responders to aid in the decision-making
process.
Table 4 identifies F/S/L plans available to be used as
resources. Complete copies of plans will not be included;
however, contact names and telephone numbers will be included.

In terms of prevention of oil spills, including a worst
case discharge, the Spill Prevention, Control, and
CountermeaSures (SPCC) Program, administered through EPA,
requires all non-transportation-related facilities within
EPA's jurisdiction, to develop plans necessary to contain a
discharge of oil and prevent it from reaching navigable
waters. It requires applicable facilities to develop design
and engineering plans, including the installation of certain
equipment, most notable secondary containment systems, such as
(302)738-3131
(302)734-6042
(302)855-7803
(302)739-5072
(302)834-4531
51
05/11/94
-------
dikes, barriers and diversionary flow paths such that spills
into waters of the U.S. will be prevented.
When such design and engineering controls are not
practicable for a facility, the owner must provide a detailed
contingency plan following the criteria outlined in 40 CFR
Part 109. Some of these criteria include the establishment of
notification procedures, identification of resources, and
provisions for specific actions. For transportation-related
on-shore and off-shore facilities, such as vessels, the
Department of Transportation (DOT) issues regulations
concerning the safe handling of hazardous materials. The
Minerals Management Service of the Department of the Interior
is also responsible for certain off-shore fixed facilities.

SCENARIOS
The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 requires that the ACP "when
implemented in conjunction with the National Contingency Plan
be adequate to remove a worst-case discharge, and to mitigate
or prevent a substantial threat of such a discharge...". This
plan lists those facilities which have submitted facility
response plans pursuant to Section 4202 of OPA. The lists
include a description of each facility's worst-case discharge.
At this time the Area Committee will only consider these
volumes in evaluating its ability to respond as required in
OPA.
The Area Committee believes it is appropriate to classify
worst-case scenarios in broad terms such as derailments, tank
collapse, pipeline rupture, and vessel loss. The tactics and
strategies for response to any class of worst-case scenario
are fundamentally the same. The OSC should prepare a
shortfall analysis of response capability based on the worst-
case scenarios as listed in Section VII of this volume.
A. CASE HISTORIES
1. Tank Collapse
The largest spill occurring from a tank collapse was the
Ashland Oil Spill of January 1988. An above-ground storage
tank owned by the Ashland oil Company ruptured, allowing
750,000 gallons of diesel oil to spill indirectly into the
Monongahela River at Floreffe, PA. More than 70 communities
had to shut down their drinking water supplies as a result of
the contamination of the river.
2. Pipeline Rupture
The Most Complex Spill in recent memory was the Colonial
Pipeline Company, Sugarland Run Oil Spill in Virginia.
B. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL SPILL CONSIDERATIONS
The Area Committee is mandated to respond to worst-case
scenarios. For such a large area, defining all probable
worst-case scenarios is impractical. However, EPA has
identified high risk operations that could result in a worst-
case scenario. These operations are, again: refineries,
transfer operations, storage facilities, railroad crossings,
pipeline river crossings, barge and vessel traffic.
In Appendix 5, is a list of all facilities in this area
that have responded with a plan identifying their worst-case
spill scenario. Based on those submissions, the worst-case
scenarios for the Area range from 198 gallons for the
Pittsburgh Coke & By-Products Works facility to 48,072,460
gallons for the Maritank Philadelphia, Inc. facility. In each
case the time of year, weather conditions, migratory, social,
economic and political considerations will greatly impact on
the response. For purposes of planning, the Area Committee
53
05/11/94
-------
assumes ideal conditions for recovery operations. This
assumption will be used in defining response needs and.
capabilities and in identifying shortfalls.
C. ACP ILLUSTRATION
Introduction
The ACP illustration used in this plan will be based on
an actual incident. The folloving incident description will
highlight areas where the ACP could be utilized to improve
response activities for a significant spill.
Site Description
On March 28, 1993, a pipeline carrying #2 fuel oil
(diesel) ruptured, releasing approximately 400,000 gallons of
oil into the environment. The spill impacted three local
jurisdictions, two states, and the District of Columbia.
Colonial Pipeline Company assumed responsibility for the
cleanup and EPA was designated as Federal On-Scene
Coordinator.
Notification
Immediate notification of response agencies, as well as
critical organizations, such as the county water authority, is
essential. Although the local, state and federal agencies all
maintain well established call-down lists, the notification
list included in the ACP can be used to double-check that no
notification has been missed.
Protection of Public Health
Local emergency responders will be a major participant in
performing the task of identifying exposed persons, providing
medical treatment, and disseminating information for
protective measures. Evacuation may also be necessary. The
ACP can be used to identify the agencies or persons who can
help coordinate these efforts. Also, local emergency response
plans, which will be identified in Section V, can be utilized
according to Standard Operating Procedures. This ACP will
also list resources available to obtain further guidance on
protecting human health.
Protection of the Environment
The sensitive areas appendix would be used to prioritize
environmental protection strategies. Also, collection points,
as identified in the FRPs, will be included in the ACP. This
plan will also identify natural resource trustees and other
agencies who should be included in the damage assessment
process.
Establishment of a Unified Command Team
54
05/11/94
-------
Significant spills, such as this, require that a number
of agencies be included in the decision-making process,
thereby establishing a unified command team. If individuals
have been designated for this assignment, this information can
be included in the ACP. However, changes should be
anticipated based on the nature of the incident and the
availability of designated personnel.
Acquisition of Resources
In incidents such as a pipeline rupture, the location of
the spill will not be known beforehand. Therefore, a
comprehensive list of contractors who can provide assistance
at the scene is crucial. This ACP will identify such
resources in Appendix 1 -Directory. Since federal, state,
and local plans t&ay contain resource information, the
"Relationship to Other Plans** section can also be utilized.
Enforcement Strategies
The ACP will be used to continue "enforcement first"
policies. In the event the PRP is willing to perform the
cleanup, as was the case with the Colonial Pipeline Spill, the
ACP can be used by the FOSC to quickly identify objectives
which should be relayed to the PRP.
Approval of Spill Countermeasures
The ACP will identify procedures for approval of spill
countermeasures. These procedures can then be quickly
implemented to provide approval, as appropriate, or spill
countermeasures at the scene of the incident. However, site-
specific conditions should not be overlooked. This spill
emphasized the importance of evaluating the success of
alternative countermeasures oh a case-by-case basis.
Oversight of Post-Emeroencv Cleanup
This plan can be used to identify resources available to
assist with post-emergency cleanup measures. At the Colonial
Pipeline Spill, special workgroups were organized to review
proposed actions, including treatment of contaminated soils,
public relations strategies, and residential well monitoring.
Information from the resources, sensitive environments, and
other plans appendices would be especially helpful for these
tasks.

SECTION 1
PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this document is to create a "Sensitive Areas" (SA) appendix to the Area
Contingency Plan (ACP). The intent of the format of the appendix is to maintain a document
which addresses federal, state, and local concerns and can be useful to responders at the scene
of an oil spill and/or hazardous substance incident, Wherever possible, the information
contained in this document will be computerized using the Geographic Information System
(GIS).
The objective of this appendix is to highlight both "environmentally" and "economically"
sensitive areas. The information contained herein will identify areas according to location and
will indicate priority areas to be protected, along with preferred protection strategies, if
available.

APPEND IX 2
-------
SECTION 2
AUTHORITY AND APPLICABILITY
The S A appendix to the ACP was written and compiled under congressional mandate, to support
the intent of the ACP as required by Title IV, section 4202 of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990
(OPA), which amends Subsection (j) of Section 311 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act
(FWPCA) (33 U.S.C. 1321 (j)) as amended by the Clean Water Act (CWA) of 1977 (33 U.S.C.
125let seq). This appendix was written to be used in conjunction with the National Contingency
Plan (NCP) (40 CFR part 300) and die Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation
and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9601) as amended by the Superfund
Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA). The appendix only applies to the anas
designated in Section m (Designated Areas) of this document The authors of the appendix are
representatives of the Inland Area Committee, as well as representatives of the
States/Commonwealths of Delaware, Maryland, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Virginia; die
District of Columbia; the U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. Coast Guard); die U.S.
Department of the Interior (Fish and Wildlife Service); die U.S. Department Of Commerce
(National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration); the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) Region III; and private organizations.

SECTION 3
DESIGNATED AREAS
This section details regional, district and zone boundaries of Federal agencies haying jurisdiction
and responsibilities within Federal Region m. The responsibility to provide on-scene-
coordinators (OSCs) for incidents or potential incidents has been placed upon the EPA, U.S.
Coast Guard (USCG), and the Department of Defense (DOD). The DOD will provide an OSC
for all DOD related incidents and for all non-DOD related incidents occurring on DOD property
within Federal Region m as outlined in NCP Section 300.120(b). All other real or potential
incidents will be responded to by OSCs provided by either EPA or the USCG. The USCG will
provide the OSC within the coastal zone. The EPA will provide OSCs within the inland zone.
The Coast Guard, through the appropriate Captain of the Port, shall be responsible for furnishing
the predesignated on-scene coordinator for all discharges of oil and hazardous substances which
result from a vessel casualty or vessel-transfer activity which occur in these specified ports and
harbors of the inland river system. The EPA will provide the OSC for all incidents occurring
elsewhere within EPA Region m. The Coast Guard will not normally respond to those discharge
incidents within their predesignated zone which occur (1) at industrial facilities, (2) from
non-marine transportation casualties, (3) at bulk storage facilities, and (4) at hazardous waste
sites.
Operations and resources permitting, the USCG will, at the request of EPA'Region m, provide
assistance and a First Federal Official on scene to those major incidents which occur in the
inland zone that require immediate federal response presence to assess the impact and extent of
the oil/hazardous materials release.

SECTION 4
SENSITIVE AREAS IDENTIFIED
As described in this appendix "sensitive areas" include areas of special economic or
environmental importance that might be adversely affected by a discharge. In describing areas
of special economic and environmental importance, several factors should be considered. The
factors include, but are not limited to: the presence and proximity of natural resources,
environmentally sensitive areas, population concentrations; drainage basins and appropriate
geographic and/or topographic features; water supplies; beaches, ports, recreational areas, areas
of seasonal significance, and migratory bird flyways.
. Environmentally Sensitive Areas refers to environments that may be considered habitat to fish
and wildlife or contain significant biological resources other than fish and wildlife.
Environmentally sensitive areas are broken down into three separate subareas: habitat,
management areas and biological resource areas.
Habitat
• Marshes, tidal or fresh
• Swamps, tidal or fresh
• Riverine, tidal or fresh
• Intertidal flats both exposed and sheltered
• Sheltered sand/mud flats, sheltered scarps in bedrock
• Sheltered vegetated low banks
• Muddy unvegetated substrates, vegetated low banks
• Seagrass areas
• Sheltered manmade structures, sheltered rocky shores
• Sheltered scarps in bedrock
• Vegetated steeply sloping bluffs
• Reefs, riprap structures, gravel beaches
• Mixed sand and gravel beaches
• Soft bottom subtidal areas
• Fine grained sand beaches
• Eroding scarps in unconsolidated sediments
• Exposed eroding banks in unconsolidated sediments

SECTIONS
QA/QC OF THE RESOURCE INFORMATION
Users of the resources provided in this appendix are expected to realize that the information
itself is dynamic and subject to variations within seasons. It is extremely important that anyone
considering protection and response decisions affecting these resources first contact and consult
the listed State/Commonwealth. Federal, and other resource specialists to refine this general
information. Consultations with these specialists are die most effective way of obtaining incident
specific information on the abundance, locations and condition(s) of the resources at risk.
Contact with the recommended specialists should ensure that the best network of current
information sources can be utilized to assist decision makers.
The Inland Area Committee has defined three levels or tiers of information based on quality
which is included in this appendix. The quality of data is determined by its accuracy and
precision against prescribed requirements or specifications, and by its usefulness in assisting the
user in malting a decision or answering a question with confidence. Each tier represents a
different level of confidence.
The three levels of information sue as follows:
• QA Level I is basic maps detailing information locations. This information may
contain latitude and longitude, but is considered unconfirmed data.
• QA Level n is a data base or report which provides detailed information on a
sensitive area type. This information has been confirmed, but may lack periodic
updating.
• QA Level m is a data base which is periodically updated. This information is
considered to be die highest form of confirmed data available.
All available data was used in the preparation of this appendix. Information sources that were
used to identify sensitive areas were assigned QA levels based on the defined levels mentioned
10
APPENDIX 21
-------
above. These assigned levels should be reviewed and modified, if necessary, by the
trustees/resource specialists upon review of this information.
11
APPENDIX 2

SECTION 6
MAPS AND DATA SHEETS DESCRIBING SENSITIVE RESOURCES
A large number of sensitive areas have been identified in EPA Region m, which includes the
states of Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of
Columbia. Information on sensitive areas was obtained from Facility Response Plans (FRPs)
and other information provided to EPA by various industries and state, local and private
agencies. The FRPs identify sensitive area locations primarily by latitude and longitudinal
coordinates and provided data sheets describing these areas. Sensitive areas information obtained
from state, local and private agencies was primarily in die form of data bases and located by
nearest town and/or county. The information gathered from both the FRPs and agencies was
organized into an easily utilized format for the Sensitive Areas Appendix. When a spill/release
incident occurs, response personnel will be able to use die latitude/longitude coordinates and/or
county for the incident to identifyAocate sensitive areas in die vicinity of the spill. The ultimate
goal of the Region TO Inland Area Committee is to computerize all information into a
Geographic Information System (GIS) and have access to this system via portable laptop
computers.
Currently, the Sensitive Areas Appendix is arranged in a three part format. The first part
involves the use of a quick reference city-map index. This part can be utilized to quickly find
sensitive environments if the city in which the incident occurred is known.
The second part is composed of reference maps and corresponding FRP sensitive area data
sheets. The reference maps are labelled with latitude and longitude coordinates and symbols
identifying the location and type of sensitive environment. The FRP data sheets provide details
on sensitive areas in the vicinity of oil storage facilities. The following information is included
on the FRP data sheets:
12
appendix:
-------
• FRP ID number
• Latitude and longitude of facility
• Facility name and address
• Facility's owner name
• Additional information
• Collection and/or access points
• Types of sensitive environments
• Agency contact and address
• Environmental effects on sensitive area
• Recommended protection measures
• Additional resources/references
The third and last part includes data sheets on sensitive areas provided by agencies. These
sheets are arranged in alphabetical order by county. Agency sensitive area data sheets that do
not list county locations are located at the end of this section. Each data sheet provides details
on one sensitive environment. The following information is included on each data sheet:
• Type of sensitive environment (environmentally or economically)
• State and county location
• Associated reference map
• Level of quality of information
• Agency contacts/additional references
• Sensitive area subcategory
• Geographic description
• Potential impacts
• Recommended protective measures
• Collection and/or access points
• Information reference
• Additional information
Steps to locate sensitive areas in the vicinity of a particular incident area using the reference
maps and data sheets described above are detailed in Section 8, Use of this Guidance.
ARCINFO, a Geographic Information System (GIS), will be used to produce the Final Sensitive
Areas Appendix. In this system, all sensitive area information will be input into one standard
format/data sheet. This will replace the current appendix format in which two data formats are
being used, FRP and agency data formats. The ARCINFO system will also plot the sensitive
13 APPENDIX 2
-------
areas on maps.
Also in the Final Sensitive Areas Appendix, this section will identify a specific ranking for each
resource (a sensitivity scale of 1-10 has been established with 1 being the least sensitive and 10
being the most sensitive).
Section VII of this appendix will identify three general ranking schemes for different "sensitive
area types" in the event that they have not been identified in the data sheets. The Area
Committee recognizes that some areas are more sensitive than others of the same type, due to
the proximity to other resources. Information gathered in this section will be reviewed by the
trustees to determine accuracy in prioritizing information. The trustees include federal, state and
local agencies responsible for the resources identified.
The Area Committee recognizes that ail "Sensitive Areas" may not hav. oeen addressed in this
section and requests any additions be forwarded to the Inland Area Committee for inclusion in
this appendix. If possible, all infonrarion submitted should be consistent with information
already gathered in this appendix.

SECTION 7
INITIAL RANKING OF RESOURCES SENSITIVITY
The Inland Area Committee has determined a general ranking system of the various types of
sensitive resources. These rankings were intended as general guidance for placing protection
priorities on these resources in the absence of more specific information relating to a particular
resource. Factors such as sensitivity, recovery time, and ease of cleanup were considered in
assigning these rankings.
Environmentally sensitive areas are most at risk from oil spills when:
• Large numbers of individuals are concentrated in a relatively small area;
• Wildlife come ashore for birthing, resting, or molting;
• Early life stages are present in somewhat restricted areas;
• Areas important to specific life stages or migration patterns;
• Specific areas are known to be vital sources for propagation;
• Species are threatened or endangered;
• TTie season provides for a large gathering of a population; and
• A significant percentage of the population is likely to be exposed to
contamination.
Economically sensitive areas are most at risk from oil spills when there are:
• High recreational use and shoreline access areas;
• Officially designated natural resource management areas;
• Resource extraction sites; and
• Archeological, historical, and cultural sites.
The Inland Area Committee recognizes that not all specific areas are identified in this appendix.
This section is intended to provide the OSC/RPM with a general ranking scheme in the event
a "Sensitive Area" has not been identified in this plan. The following ranking designations are
used:
A = most sensitive
B «= sensitive
C = least sensitive

USE OF THIS GUIDANCE
In using the map and data sheets, the following steps should be taken to locate sensitive areas
in the vicinity of the particular incident area:
1. If possible, identify the location of the incident by city, latitude/longitude and county.
2. If the city is known, go to the quick reference city-map index and determine the map number
that the city is located on. From this map, latitude/longitude coordinates can be obtained for
the city. If a symbol representing a sensitive area is shown at these coordinates cm the map,
then go to the associated FRP data sheets for details on this area or areas.
3. If the latitudeAongitude is known, find the map on which these coordinates are present.
If a symbol representing a sensitive area is shown at these coordinates on the map, then go
to the associated FRP data sheets for details on this area or areas.
4. If the county is known, go to the appropriate county (listed alphabetically) for all
sensitive areas in that county. Some of these data sheets on sensitive environments are cross-
referenced to other counties.

SECTION 9
PROTECTION GUIDELINES
In the event of a discharge, it is the responsibility of the OSC to best utilize all resources
available. In order to assist the OSC, the Inland Area Committee has established recommended
protection strategies for different "Sensitive Areas".
In choosing protection strategies, the OSC must realize that some methods may require
concurrence with the Regional Response Team (RRT) or state or local governments. Typical
strategies that require RRT concurrence include:
shore removal, cleansing, and replacement;
cutting vegetation;
chemical oil stabilization;
chemical protection of beaches;
chemical cleaning of beaches;
in-situ burning;
nutrient enhancement;
microbial addition; and
sediment reworking.
Protection methods that do hot require RRT concurrence include:
• no action;
• manual removal;
• passive collection (sorbents);
• debris removal;
• trenching;
• sediment removal;
• cold water flooding (deluge);
• cold water/low pressure washing;
• cold water/high pressure washing;
• warm water/moderate-to-high pressure washing;
• hot water/high pressure washing;
• slurry sand blasting; and
• vacuum.

This plan is intended, "to provide for coordinated, immediate
and effective protection, rescue, and rehabilitation of and
minimization of risk of injury to, fish and wildlife resources and
habitat." [proposed NCP 40 CFR 300.210 (c)(4)(i)] The plan
provides information and procedures to the OSC and the Field
Response Coordinator (FRC) to immediately and effectively respond
to discharges that may adversely affect fish and wildlife resources
and their habitat. The OSC can activate this plan by requesting a
response from fish and wildlife organization/agency Point of
Contact (POC) or when the FWS FRC notifies the OSC that their
agency is responding to the impact or potential impact on fish and
wildlife.
The OSC shall notify the primary fish and wildlife POC (listed
below) in addition to Natural Resource Trustees when the OSC
determines that the spill/discharge is impacting or potentially
impacting fish and wildlife. This plan addresses those cases
where, in addition to natural resources, fish and wildlife are also
threatened.
All fish and wildlife organizations involved in a response
consistent with this plan, shall coordinate their activities with
the lead response agency.

CHAPTER ONE
FWRP SUMMARY
Summary
The EPA Region III Inland Area Fish and Wildlife Response Plan
is a guide for officials who are responsible for health and safety
response perso-nnel and the coordination of response
countermeasures, clean-up, damage assessment and restoration. In
addition, the plan provides information for Federal, State and
local officials as well as facilities involved with drawing up
plans as required by OPA 1990 to effectively respond to a worst
case scenario spill of oil or hazardous substance. It gives
procedures and checklists for on-site use, with a list of
references on hazardous substances. Its objective is the
production of after action damage assessment reports which are
complete in ail respects and fully meet legal requirements and
scientific standards.
This plan is not intended as a stand alone document, it
requires the use of various F/S/L standard operating procedures and
appendices of the Area Contingency Plan. It may be used before a
spill as a guide of what will have to be done; during the response
as a checklist to the techniques and procedures; and after the
response as a reminder for report preparation and completeness.
Purpose
This Plan is intended, "to provide for coordinated, immediate
and effective protection, rescue, and rehabilitation of and
minimization of risk of injury to, fish and wildlife resources and
habitat."[proposed NCP 40CFR300.210)(c)(4)(i)] It addresses fish
and wildlife resources and their habitat, including areas
considered sensitive environments in a separate appendix. The plan
provides information and procedures to the OSC and FRC to
immediately and effectively respond to discharges that may
adversely affect fish and wildlife resources and their habitat. It
includes identification of appropriate agencies and their
responsibilities, procedures for notifying these agencies following
a spill or discharge, protocols for obtaining permits, and
provisions to ensure coordination of trustee related activity with
removal operations.
Scope
This Plan is applicable to any spill of oil or discharge of
hazardous substance(s) that impacts or poses a threat to the
natural resources or sensitive areas defined in the Region III
Inland Area Contingency Plan. It is neither a textbook nor a
substitute for training, qualified technical advice* or common
sense.

APPENDIX 3
-------
How to Use the FWRP
This Flan has been organized to correlate as clearly as
possible with the sequence of work, from the first quick appraisal
of the situation, through the development of a plan of action,
conducting the investigation and writing the report. Each section
is suitable for scanning before taking action, as a checklist when
planning or responding and as a reference when preparing a report.
Notification
The Natural Resource Trustees designated to receive
notification from the On-Scene Coordinator, regarding potential
injuries to natural resources, will Jse listed in the Area
Contingency Plan and the Regional Contingency Plan.
When the OSC determines that the spill/releas<£ is impacting or
potentially impacting fish and wildlife, s/he shall notify the
primary fish and wildlife contacts listed in Table 1. The NOAA CRC
assigned to Region III is the notification contact for NOAA, and
the DOI Regional Environmental Officer assigned to Region III is
the contact for the DOI. These representatives are referred to
collectively as the "federal trustee". When the OSC notifies the
federal trustee, the OSC should provide the federal trustee with an
indication regarding the scope of the action contemplated, the
anticipated schedule for initiating the removal and the length of
time the removal response will be ongoing. If a federal trustee
determines that additional involvement by the federal trustee is
necessary, the OSC will be notified.
Planning
Planning must be developed in stages. The sequence is:
- Quick appraisal of the situation, to find what must be
done at once or very soon.
- Preliminary plan of urgent action.
^ .
\ 1 .
- Detailed survey to decide on the full scope of the
response.
- Final plan of response and damage assessment.
The planning phase is discussed in Chapter 3.
Response
Response is broadly defined for the purposes of this plan as
those field activities relating to surveying, sampling, damage
assessment, response countermeasures, investigation,, compilation
and documentation of information for the final report. Some of
04/25/94

these activities are further detailed in subsequent chapters of
this plan.
Reporting
Someone once said "getting there is half the battle," to
regulatory agencies, the final report is the other half. In
Chapter 8, this plan provides a discussion of the special factual,
scientific, and legal requirements for a final report that may be
used in legal proceedings.

CHAPTER TWO
RESPONSE AND COORDINATION PROCEDURES
Who responds (on scene and/or by phone)
Coordination between responders
Response
One or more of those agencies/organizations listed in Table 1
will respond when fish and wildlife are impacted or threatened by
a discharge or release of oil and/or hazardous substance. Whether
requested to respond by the OSC, or responding based on information
provided in the initial notification, each agency/organization
shall coordinate their activities with the lead agency. Following
are the general response policies for the organizations listed in
Table 1.
1. U.S. FWS - The FWS responds to oil spills when trust resources
are affected or if it is a major oil spill. For coastal areas
major is defined as a spill of 100,000 gallons or more, and for
inland areas as a spill of10,000 gallons or more. For chemical
spills, advice is generally given by telephone. It is FWS policy
that FWS personnel will not enter identified hazardous substance
sites unless they have received specific Regional clearance and
abide by the procedural and safety provisions established by the
FWS.

CHAPTER THREE
RESPONSE ASSESSMENTS
Impacted areas
Potentially impacted areas
Surveys (ground, aerial, shoreline, boat)
Sampling
The key to a successful response is development of a good plan
of action. Through the use of RRT SOPs, such as the Shoreline
Countermeasures Manual, it can be determined how an impacted area
will be assessed, the number of teams needed to conduct surveys and
the number of personnel per team. Pre-planning will also determine
what tasks are necessary and who will perform them. First the
potential impacts of the spill on fish and wildlife must be quickly
assessed, . and then a preliminary plan of action developed.
Detailed surveys/assessments must be conducted to determine the
extent of the response required. ^ A final plan of action will then
be developed followed by damage assessment.
To protect and rescue fish and wildlife and their habitats, a
response assessment must be conducted initially to determine which
fish and wildlife resources and habitat have been impacted or are
threatened by the spill. The OSC should then provide the trustees
with an indication of the scope of the action contemplated by the
OSC, the anticipated schedule for initiating the removal and the
length of time the response will be ongoing. Conducting surveys is
an integral part of the assessment process. Surveys can be
conducted by air, boat, on the ground or along the shoreline.
Regardless of the method of survey, an OSC can utilize the
Sensitive Areas Appendix to the ACP to determine which species or
sensitive environments are affected and the order of priority for
response activities.
Surveys
Aerial surveys are conducted to determine the impact of a
spill on migratory birds and their habitats and to identify
resources at risk. They can provide broad scale evaluations,
definition of the impacted area, general characterization of the
oiling conditions and recommendations for*boom deployment sites,
access points, or restrictions.
Boat surveys provide more accurate information on the extent
of oiling than aerial surveys. Data should be collected on
species' numbers and distribution and on the proportions of dead or
oiled wildlife. The number of animals should be recorded by
location. It may be possible to record the degree of contamination
and behavioral responses which might not be apparent from aerial
surveys.
04/25/94
5
APPENDIX '3
-------
Shoreline surveys are the most common method of mapping
impacted areas and locating oiled wildlife. Accurate observations
and identifications can be made and specimens collected for'
analysis. The shoreline evaluation survey form developed for the
Colonial Pipeline Spill response is included as Annex 6.
Ground surveys provide detailed information on the extent of
piling oh various shoreline types necessary for site-specific
decisions on shoreline treatment techniques. It is critical that
ground survey teams use consistent methods and terminology
throughout a response. To aid in this endeavor, a series of survey
forms have been developed as the basis for data collection and
reporting.
Sampling
In a fish and wildlife response, sampling is conducted for two
primary reasons: to fingerprint the oil and to determine its
concentration. Fingerprint identification of oil allows federal
officials to verify the source of the oil, which is vital for
potential cost recovery. Sampling to determine an oil's
concentration will aid in the decision-making process on the use of
countermeasures in an impacted area and selection of a particular
countermeasure method. Sampling will also be conducted following
the use of countermeasures to determine the effectiveness of the
countermeasure use.

CHAPTER FOUR
PROTECTION, RESCUE/ REHABILITATION
Protection methods (booming, hazing)
Rescue (capture)
Rehabilitation (organizations, volunteers)
Protection
Protection methods, such as booming and hazing, are employed
to prevent natural resources from potential exposure to released
material. Deflection booming diverts moving oil away from
sensitive areas towards recovery sites which have a slower flow
rate, easier access, etc. Exclusion booming places boom to prevent
oil from reaching sensitive areas.
Hazing involves the use of loud sounds to drive unoiled
wildlife away from an oil spill. Hazing can be done by air, on the
ground or water. Aerial hazing uses aircraft in a spill area to
frighten birds away from the area. Examples of ground/water hazing
techniques include the use of automatic exploders, fireworks, sound
devices, hawk and owl silhouettes, and balloons. Birds that have
already been oiled should never be hazed to prevent oiled birds
from contaminating unoiled birds.
Rescue
It is recommended that only trained, permitted personnel (see
Chapter 5), such as State or Federal biologists or oil cleanup
contractors, capture and handle oiled birds and wildlife. Rescue
can be accomplished by a 3-4 person crew using a variety of
equipment, including towels, shee.ts, throw nets, seine and long
handle pole nets and carrying containers. . Efforts to run down and
capture oiled-birds must be closely monitored and limited in time.
Beached birds should be approached from the water to prevent the
birds from going back intp the water where they may drown.
Repeated attempts at capture can bring a bird to exhaustion and
cause fatal damage to the animal.
Rehab i1itation
Rehabilitation of oiled wildlife is a difficult, time-
consuming, laborious process which should only be undertaken by
trained personnel. Experienced organizations such as Tri-State
Bird Research and Rescue, Inc., have been established to organize
and conduct training of volunteers in rehabilitation procedures.
Table 2 below depicts the various agencies and their primary role
in protection,, rescue, and rehabilitation operations.

require procurement of federal/state/regional permits. It is very
important that responders obtain the necessary permits required for
their respective task/operation prior to a spill incident. Permits
may differ from state to state, therefore, responders must not
assume coverage under their permit without first checking with the
appropriate state. Examples of tasks that may require permits are
given below.
Federal Permits: capture/handling/killing of migratory birds,
collection of dead birds, handling any protected wild animal
state Permits: handling/caring for protected wild animals
U.S. FWS Regional Permits: salvage and temporary possession of
dead, sick, or injured migratory birds
When endangered species are involved, FWS. Law Enforcement
should be notified within 24 hours, and the Region 5 Chief of
Endangered Species contacted.
Please list'the permits required and the primary contacts for
obtaining these permits from your agency. ' .

CHAPTER SEVEN
FUNDING
The Oil'Spill Liability Trust Fund is available under certain
circumstances to fund removal of oil performed under the Oil
Pollution Act of 1990. Where the OSC requests assistance from a
federal agency, that agency may be reimbursed in accordance with
the provisions of 33 CFR subchapter M. Verbal approval from the
On-Scene Coordinator is required to obtain funding, and a Coast
Guard Federal spill number must be obtained. Reimbursement will be
more likely and more rapid if authorization is obtained from the
OSC before the responding agency goes on spene or appends funds (or
as soon thereafter as possible). Allowed reimbursements include
travel, per diem, overtime, and expenditures for equipment. The
"U.S. Coast Guard Pollution Control Daily Activity Report" (see
Annex 6) can be used to document and report time spent on a spill.
The responding agency should contact the appropriate administrative
officer at their state or regional office to set up a site specific
account for cost tracking purposes.

DOCUMENTATION/REPORTS '^'Vh

Maintaining detailed, thorough documentation of activities
throughout an incident is extremely important for' both legal and
informatipnal purposes.
During all phases of response, each agency shall complete and
maintain documentation to support their actions taken under the NCP
and which will be the basis for potential cost recovery. In
general, documentation shall be sufficient to provide a description
of the actions taken in support of a federal response and what
those actions cost. This documentation shall be the basis for
response cost recovery.
Documentation of areas impacted, rescue and rehabilitation
efforts, and the number of affected wildlife (rescued, rehabbed, or
dead) is also necessary. Tri-^State Bird Rescue and Research, Inc.
has developed numerous forms related to bird rescue; and
rehabilitation. Sample forms used for tracking/logging rescued and
rehabilitated wildlife and documenting shoreline surveys are
included in Annex 6.

August 12.1992, NOAA held e public
hearing on the issue of whether
constructed market methodologies,
including Contingent Valuation (CV),
can be used to calculate reliably paasive
use values for natural resources, and if
so, undar what circumstances and under
what guidance; On January 15.1993, at
58 FR 4601. NOAA published in full the
report of the panel commissioned by
NOAA to evaluate the reliability of CV

The proposed rule summarizes the
written comments received by the
agency and issues raised during the
public meetings and workshops,
responds to those comments, and
contains proposed regulatory language
on the various issues raised. Many of
the specific comments summarized in
the proposed rule refer to the status
report published by NOAA in the March
13; 1992, Federal Register notice.
This preamble is organized in the
.following manner, the Introduction
gives an overview of the proposed rule
and is followed by a discussion of ear '
of the subparts of the proposed rule.
Subpart A deals with the optional
prespili planning for a damage
assessment and other general topics,
subpart B describes the Preassessment
Phase, and subparts C, D. E. F. and C
contain the description of the
Assessment Phase and the range of
assessment procedures. Subpart H
describes the Post-assessment Phase.
INTRODUCTION
Overview of Process
I. General
The proposed rule simplifies the task
of the natural resource trustee(s) by
providing a flexible and logical process
for assessing natural resource damages
resulting'from a discharge of oil. To
assist the tnistee(s) in conducting
damage assessments, the proposed rule
defines a number of key statutory terms
relevant to damage assessment and
identifies a number of damage
assessment techniques that NOAA has
determined are the best svailable. In
addition, the proposed rule ia intended
to facilitate public and responsible party
(RP) involvement in the restoration of
injured natural resources and/or
service* by creating an open,
administrative process for selection^
restoration measures. The pro;
promotes a cooperative approach to^
resolution of natural resource damage -
cases by providing greater certainty
regarding the measure of damages and
the process by which damages will be
determined.
The proposed rule is intended to
provide the trusteed) with maximum
flexibility in conducting damage
assessments. It is important to bear in
mind that the proposed rule is optionaL'
The trusteed) is free to depart from the
proposed rule, however, section
1006(e)(2) of OPA provides that damage
assessments conducted pursuant to this
proposed rule shall have a rebuttable
presumption of accuracy in any
administrative or judicial proceedings
under OPA. Also, this proposed rule
. makes possible judicial review on the
administrative record for the
Assessment/Restoration Planning
process. The sdministntive record is
the.repository of all the information and
data considered by the tnistee(s) during
the assessment. The trustee(s) may use
damage assessment techniques outside
the scogi of this proposed rule at the
cost of assuming the burden of proof
with respect to those components c .
damage assessment.

The nature and scope of this proposed
la can best be understood in the
ntext of the overall statutory scheme
|or natural resource damage cases. The
llements of liability under sections
1002(a) and (b)(2) of OPA are simple
and straightforward: (1) A discharge (2)
of oil (3) from a vessel or facility (4) into
or upon navigable waters, adjoining
shorelines or the Exclusive Economic
Zone, (S) which results in injury to
natural resources and/or services. Thus,
liability is established when there is
some injury to a natural resource and/
or service resulting from a discharge of
oil. The damage assessment is designed
to determine and quantify injury, the
appropriate restoration approach, andrr
the damages resulting from the injury. ,,
The damage assessment process-1*'*"
described in this proposed rule has
three major phases: (1) The
Preassessment Phase; (2) the
Assessment Phase: and (3) the Post-
Assessment Phase (See Figure 1). .

potential RPs. and the public to ensure
a cost-effective and coordinated
assessment once a discharge of oil
occurs. Thus, it is not part of an
incident-specific assessment, but an
important part of preparation by the
trusteed) for falfilling their natural
resource damage assessment
responsibilities during spill response.
The Preassessment Phase involves two
basic decisions: The decision whether to
proceed with the Preassessment Phase
and the decision as to the scope of the
assessment to conduct, if any. The
Assessment Phase offers a choice
involving four types of assessment
procedures: compensation formulas,
computer models, expedited
procedures, and comprehensive
procedures. The Post-Assessment Phase
gives guidance on using the recoveries
effectively and efficiency to bring about
the recovery of injured natural resources
and/or services.
NOAA is also developing detailed
guidance on various aspects of damage
assessment. It is anticipated that
guidance documents will soon be
available on: Preassessment. injury
(determination and quantification, and.
restoration. NOAA will publish a Notice
of Availability when these documents
are ready for the public These guidance'
documents are being prepared in
conjunction with this rulemaking to
provide more specific technical
information to those performing
assessments and restorations under OPA
•nd other interested members of the
public. These documents will not
institute regulatory guidance nor must
they be followed to obtain the rebuttable
presumption. The documents, in their
final form, will be made evailable
through a public information
distribution service.

Plan (DARP) as a guide to how the

exposure to oiL The scope of the
trustee's(s') data collection should be
reasonable in light of the characteristics
of the discharge end natural resources
and/or sendees potentially effected by
the disdtarge. However, the trasteew
and RP(s) may agree to undertake
limited injury determinetion studies to
verify that no significant injury to
natural resources and/or services has
resulted from the discharge, although
costs for such undertakings ere not
recoverable. .
When reeaonabty practicable, the
. trustee(s) should collect the following
types of information during the
Preessessment Phase: (1) Data that are
necessary to meke a determination to
proceed with the Preassesanent Phase;
(2) ephemeral or perishable data that
may be tost if not collected
immediately; and (3) nersjssry data that

Expedited Damage Assessment (EDA) or

(CDA».
E. Emergency Restoration
At any time after the discharge, the
trusteed), with the approval of the OSC,
may dedde to conduct emergency
restoration aa long aa it does not
interfere with response ectiona. These
actiona are designed to protect natural
resources and/or services when there is
insuffident time to await completion of
the entire damage assessment/

Emergency restoration is not subject
to required public review and comment.

The trustees) must review and
respond to public comments during
preparation of the restoration
component of the DARP. In addressing
comments received concerning the
proposed restoration epproech. it is not
necessary for the trustees) to respond to
each comment received. Comments mey
be summarized in like-subject areas ana
responded to only once.
The proposed rule allows the
trusteed) to modify the restoration
component of the DARP. if necessary.
Public review is required for
modifications deemed significant by the
tnistee(s). Large discharges or
discharges with extensive
environmental effects may require the *
trustees) to develop multi-year plans.
Again, modifications of the annual
notation plans that are significantly
t erent from the preceding year should
provided for public review.
CompensaUonForrnulas
The estuarine/marine and inland
waters compensation formulas
deeaibed in this proposed rale would
be epplicabie to the vast majority of oil
discharges. An analysis of reported
coastal discharges of oil from 1973-1990
shows that 994% of the discharges went
less than S0.000 gallons and 99% were
- less then 10.000 gallons. Compensation
formulas could be used for most of theso
relatively small dlsdiarges, particularly
for those that occur in areas when it
would be difficult to ascertain pradso
environmental effects, e.g., smell
. discharges in open water or in areas that
are subject to frequent discharges.
These formulas allow an estimate of
damages per gallon taking into account
average restoration costs, plus average
lost direct use values pending
restoration. The formulas assume
various levels of natural resource effects
likely to result from the discharge of oil
Theso assumptions consider the amount
and type of oil discharged and region
and habitat type in which the discharge
*cura. The formulas are applicable to a
i de range of the most commonly
P->scharged oil products. This oppreech
allowa both a national consistency and
regional specificity.
D. Computer Models
NOAA is proposing that the natural -
resource trustees) mey use the Natural
Resource Damage Assessment Model for
Coastal and Marine Environments,
Version 1.2, known as the Type A
model, developed by the U.S.
Department of the Interior (DOl). for
damage assessments under OP A. The
Type A model is described et 43 CTR
Part ll, subpart D. The Type A model
may be used when the conditions of the
discharge are sufficiently similar to the
conditions at 43 CFR 11.33(b).
It is likely NOAA will elso
recommend the new set of computer
models being developed by DOL The
current computer model, for use in
coastal and marine environments, is
being revised to comply with the circuit
court's decision in Colorado v. VS.
Deportment of the Interior, 880 F.2d 481
(D.C. Or. 1989) (Colorado v. DOtj and
as part.of the statutorily-mandated
review'and update. The court in
Colorado v. DOl held thet natural
resource damage essossments should be
besed upon costs to restore, replece,
rehabilitate, or ecouire the equivelent of
the injured natural resources, plus the
diminution of all reliebly calculated
values pending recovery. Until the
revisions to the Type A model ere
completed, the trusteefs) may use the
current Type A model for lost use
values and supplement the resulting
figure with estimates of restoration costs
and other epplicabie damage* DOl ia
also developing e second computer
model for use in the Great Lakes and
their firnntfting
These new computer models ere
under development through DOl, but
aro not yet available for public review.
NOAA ia working closely with DOl in
its development of these computer
models. Based upon an initial
evfluation of these models, ft is likely
thet NOAA will recommend that there
be eveileble procedures that the
irustee(s) may choose to use.
E. Expedited Damage Assessment (EDA)
Included in the proposed rale is a
new type of assessment procedure-
Expedited Damage Assessment EDA
reflects a damage assessment approach
that is intermediate between the current
Type A and the GDA procedures. This
approach recognizes thet e TypeA
model mey not address all key natural
resources and/or services injured or et
risk, particularly for inland discharges.
The approach also recognizes thet the
size, location, and timing of a given
discharge may not warrant the extensive
procedures associated with a CD A. The
EDA oilers an option that eddresaes a
broader rfnge of natural resources and/
or services than a Type A model but is
less time1 consuming and less expensive
thana-CDA.
The goiiof an EDA is to initiate
necessary restoration as quickly as
possibleby truncating the injury
determination and quantification
components. Accordingly, an Q}A does
not include comprehensive or long-term
injury determination and quantification
studies nor does it address injury for
every natural resource and/or service
that may be injured.
An EDA is not necessarily a unitary
epproech to damage assessment. It
encompasses e range of techniques that
permit the tjnisteets) to determine injury
based on limited, focused observations.
In some circumstances, an EDA may
entail supplementing the Type A model
with field studies. In other situations, an
EDA may comprise an abbreviated CDA
epproech. Accordingly, the EDA should
be viewed es e dynamic, flexible process
nther than a rigid step-by-step
epproech.
Simply ststed. the goals of an EDA are
to: (1) Identify and quantify injuries to
selected netural resources end/or
services resulting from s discharge, (21
eccomplish the shove goal using
focused studies and/or preexisting
information, and (3) provide the basis
for restoration and recovery of netural
resources end/or services. The tnistee(s)
mey undertake injure determination and
quantification only for selected netural
resources end/or services.
Ideelly, date collection in en EDA
should not exceed two-field seesons.
During this period, the trusteefs] should
ouickiy develop eppropriate injury
detenninetton end quantification
studies, end e draft restoration plen. The
remeining time should be devoted to
completion of the restoration plan, and °
to public review of the consent deaee
end/or restoration plan.
F. Comprehensive Damage Assessment
(CDA)
1. General. Whereas the EDA
desaibed above is intended primarily
for situations involving cooperative
efforts completed within e relatively
short time, the CDA should be used
where it is sntiapeted that the
assessment will require prolonged (Le..
multi-year) studies. The G3A is
particularly appropriate where the
trustee(s) expects complex effects for
which there b little documentation in
the literature. TfieCDA includes
guidance on: injury determinetion.
injury quantification, restoration
pisnning end costs, and economic
valuation.

There are seven! issues involving
handling sums recovered. One issue is
management of the account into which
sums recovered are placed. The
proposed rule allows trustees to
establish a "joint trustee account." This
trustee account should be managed by
all trustees through a mutually agreed
upon trustee committee or council.
However, if for some reason, the trustees
cannot establish a joint account, the
proposed rule allows the trustees to
divide the recoveries and deposit their
respective amounts into separate
accounts.
The second issue is the possible
pooling of recoveries from more than
one discharge into one account for
Regional Restoration Plana. Whether the
trusteed) establishes joint or separate
accounts, there are two possibilities for
handling sums recovered from
discharges. The trustee(s) may establish
an inadent-spetific account into which
sums recovered from a single discharge
may be placed. However, an alternative
allowed by the proposed rule would be
for the trusteed) to establish a combined
account into which sums recovered
from several discharges could be. placed.
Finally, whether joint or separata,
incident-specific or combined, these
various accounts may be established
within the trustee agency's own
treasury, in an account under die
¦registry of the applicable federal court,
or in a commercial account. The
commercial account may be an esaow
account or any other type of account not
prohibited by law. Each Of these various
types of accounts should be interest
bearing. The trustee(s), should provide
that money may only be withdrawn"
from such accounts with trusties)
approval. Also, because of the multiple
types of accounts, the trustee(s) must
maintain appropriate accounting and
reporting methods to ensure the proper
use of sums recovered.The damages
representing compensation for injuries
to natural resources and/or services are
to be spent to develop and implement
a final restoration plan.
The proposed rule describes two
types of post-assessment restoration
plans. First, the tnistee(s) may develop
ah incident-specific restoration plan to
address the effects of the discharge of
concern. This plan shall be based upon
the restoration component of the DARP
developed using guidance given in the
CDA phase of the proposed rule. ••
Second, the trustee(s) is allowed to
pool recoveries to apply them to a
Regional Restoration Plan for a specific
area. This Regional Restoration Plan
would have to be developed through a
public review and comment process
consistent with the restoration planning
process described in the proposed rule.
Where such a plan alreaay exists,
whether developed pursuant to this
proposed rule or.under other
management efforts, that plan may be
used subject to the requirements for
such a plan listed in the proposed rule.
This Regional Restoration Plan would
allow the trusteed) to apply several
relatively small recoveries to a specific
area, such as a bay or estuary to achieve
a more comprehensive restoration than
what may otherwise be achieved
tluough a smaller, more segmented
approach. .
Relationship to 43 CFR Part 11
The U.S. Department of the Interior
(DOI) has promulgated natural resource
damage assessment regulations under
the Comprehensive Environmental
Response. Compensation, and Liability
Act of 1980. as amended (CERCLA), 42
U.S.C. 9601 e( seq. These regulations,
which are codified at 43 CFR pan 11.
establish an administrative process and
procedures for the assessment of
damages for injuries to natural resources
affected by a release of a hazardous
substance or a discharge of oil. These
regulations currently provide guidance
for damage assessments resulting from
both oil and hazardous substances. After
the OPA regulations are promulgated,
the 43 CFR part 11 procedures can still
be used to assess damages for natural
resource injuries resulting from a release
of a hazardous substance or a discharge
of oil not covered under OPA.
The'procedures identified in 43 CFR
part 11 provided a base from which to
identify assessment procedures to be
promulgated under OPA. NOAA
requested comments on the
applicability to oil discharges of 43 CFR
part 11, as modified by the court
decisions of Ohio v. US: Department of
the Interior. 880 F.2d 432 (O.C Gr.
1989), and Colorado v. U.S. Department
of the Interior, 880 F.2d 481 (D.C Cir.
1989). In addition. NOAA and DOI are
coordinating their respective
rulemakings to ensure consistency,
when practicable, for the trust eels) and
RP(s) in conducting natural resource
damage assessments due to either a
discharge of oil or release of a hazardous
substance. Although similar, these
proposed procedures vary in several
aspects from the DOI rule.
Procedural Comparison
Figure 2 shows a rough structural
comparison between the two processes.
First, this proposed rule strongly
encourages actions conducted prior to a
discharge for "prespill planning."

^OAA wishes to emphasise with this
'Agnation that actions taken before a
scharge actually occurs are important
Jto the conduct of an assessment after the
discharge has occurred. -
Second, the Preassessment Phase
described in this proposed rule has been
expanded to reflect more clearly those
actions that must occur before beginning
an assessment. This phase includes the
Preassessment Determination, similar to
the Preassessment Screen found in 43
CFR part 11. However, the decision as
to what kind of assessment procedure is
appropriate for a given incident has
been moved up to the Preassessment
Phase in this proposed rule in ,
recognition that this decision must, by
. necessity, precede the actual
assessment.
Third, the Assessment Phase in this
proposed rule lists a wider range of
assessment procedures available to the
trustee(s). Section 301(c) of CERCLA,
which requires the development of the
43 CFR part 11 process, calls for two
types of assessment procedures. Section
1006(e) of OP A. which requires the
promulgation of this proposed rule,
does not specify the number of
assessment procedures to be made
available to the trusteeU). Therefore,
his proposed rule offers four types of
l cessment procedures two new
'procedures and two procedures based
upon 43 CFR part 11. The two new
procedures contained in this proposed
rule are the compensation formulas and
the expedited damage assessment
procedures. The compensation formulas
are the simplest procedure available and
are designed to address the vast majority
of discharges, those under 30.000
gallons. The expedited damage
assessment procedure recognizes the
need for a procedure that alls
somewhere on a scale between the
current Type A and Type B procedures
found in 43 CFR part 11. Besides these
two new procedures. NOAA recognizes
the need for assessment procedures like
the Type A and Type B procedures.
Therefore. NOAA is proposing to adopt,
the use of the current Type A procedure
of 43 CFR part ll. subpart O. for use in
assessments conducted pursuant to this
proposed rule. Finally. NOAA has also
used the current Type B procedure as a
base to develop the comprehensive
damage assessment procedure in this
proposed rule. The cunent Type B
process has been modified to allow a
streamlining of the process to recognize
the dynamic nature of a discharge of oil.
wen a discharge requiring a multi-year
issessment process.
Fourth, the Post-assessment Phase of
this proposed rule is structured in a'
similar way to 43 CFR part ll. NOAA
recognizes that, at theconipletion of a
damage assessmeht.'tHe'same basic
actions are necessary?;*- l-x
Substantive Comparison
In reviewing this proposed rule, the
reader will find numerous substantive
differences between this proposed rule
and 43 CFR part 11. Some of these
differences are dictated by the
differences between OPA and CERCLA.
Other differences are necessary, either to
reflect lessons learned in damage
assessments in the last several years or
to acknowledge the inherent differences
between oils and hazardous substances.
One example of the substantive
differences between the two rules is in .
the components of the assessment
procedures. In this proposed rule,
restoration planning and compensable
value determination are separated, as
opposed to the "Damage Determination"
step of. 43 CFR part 11. This separation
is necessary to allow a clear line for the.
record review of the restoration
component without trying to include
the compensable valuation component
into that review. Other substantive
differences appear throughout the
proposed rule.
Issues of Interest in Proposed Rule
Several specific issues within the
rulemaking process have been the focus
of attention among interested parties.
Some of the interest is in response to the
(act that damage assessment regulations
were promulgated under CERCLA.
These current regulations, codified at 43
CFR part 11. apply to both hazardous
substances and oils. The OPA rule,
when it becomes effective, will
supersede those parts of the ORCLA
rule that deal with oil. Therefore. NOAA
is specifically seeking comments on
those aspects of this proposed rule that
are different from the CERCLA rule.
Although the entire proposed rule is
open for comment. NOAA is also
particularly interested in receiving
comments on several issues that have
driwn much interest from very different
points of view. These issues include:
The appropriate standard of judicial
review of damage assessments: the
proposed definition of assessment costs;
causation as it relates to injury: the use
of a compensation formula and the
nature of its results: and whether the
trusteed) may pool recoveries from
various "small" discharges to conduct
restoration efforts from a regional or
watershed approach. Specific economic
issues include: the recovery of passive
use values for natural resources and the
measurement of these values using the
contingent valuation method: and the
appropriate discount rate to use in
converting damages to cunent dollars. '
Each of these issues is discussed in the
following pages.
Review on the Record
Section 1006(c) of OPA provides that
the trustees shall "develop and
implement a plan for the restoration,
rehabilitation, replacement, or
acquisition of the equivalent, of the
natural resources under their
trusteeship." Section 1006(c)(5)
provides that "plans shall be developed
and implemented under this section
only after adequate public notice,
opportunity for a hearing and
consideration of all public comment."
NOAA is proposing to implement these
provisions by requiring the tnistee(s) to
document development of restoration
plans in an administrative record
through notice and comment
procedures.
A majority of the cbmmenters who
have spoken to the issue of the
administrative record and judicial
review "on the record" support the
concept. Several commenters pointed
out that these assessments involve
highly technical, scientific findings in
which courts have traditionally treated
the agency's determination with great
deference. Therefore, the commenters
conclude that judicial review of the
assessment/restoration plan should be
conducted on the administrative record,
applying an arbitrary and capricious
standard.
Other commenters, however, contend
that NOAA would exceed its statutory
authority in granting such a standard of
review. Several commenters stated that
the responsible party has the legal right
to a jury trial in natural resource damage
assessment disputes as guaranteed by
the United States Constitution. The
commenters argued that every CERCLA
natural resource damage case that has
addressed the issue has required a jury
trial for these actions at law. therefore,
issues related to the selection of '
assessment/restoration plans must be .
decided by a trial court.
NOAA notes that the administrative
record provisions in the proposed rule
are intended to implement several
important policy concerns expressed by
Congress in OPA. NOAA has considered
administrative law principles and
various comparable policies found in
CERCLA to be relevant to the natural
resource damage assessment process in
several areas. The administrative record
provisions of this proposed rule are
intended to create an open assessment/
restoration process to allow an objective
evaluation of how to restore or replace
resources injured by discharges of oil.
Whether these provisions would result
-------
1072
Federal Register / Vol. 59. No. 5 / .ffriday. Januarya7. 1994;/y Proposed Ruiesc5 ^
in "record review" is ultimately the
decision of thecouits. However; NOAA
feels that recottbreview, i» essential for
the type of expeditious, fair assessments
called for by OPA.and specifically asks
for comments on.this approach.
Assessment Costs
OPA allows recovery of damages for
injury to natural resources as well as the
reasonable costs of assessing those
damages. Under the CFKG.A rule,
reasonable costs are defined in terms of
the costs being less than the anticipated
damage amount. NOAA has received
several comments in support of
adopting the CERGLA rule's definition
of "reasonable costs" to avoid exorbitant .
assessment costs. However, some
commenters have argued that it is
difficult at the onset of a discharge to
make a preliminary damage estimate
that will then be used to snape the
subsequent assessment.
Within the proposed rule. NOAA is
defining reasonable eoSts to mean those
costs associated with performing an
assessment in accordance with the
proposed rule. The proposed rule, in
turn, gives guidance for each phase of
the assessment as to the reasonableness
of assessment activities. The proposed
rule requires that any studies or
procedures be directly related to the
purpose of the assessment and are
conducted in a cost-effective manner.
This approach does not require the
trustee(s) .ln the early stages of a
discharge to devise a preliminary
estimate of total damages likely to result
from that discharge. However, the
proposed rule does require that the
assessment be conducted in such, a
manner to avoid unnecessary and
excessive costs. ,
Injury/Causation
Under section 1002 of OPA. liability
is established when there is any injury
to a .natural resource resulting from a
discharge of oil. Injury under OPA •
encompasses the phrases "injury to."
"destruction of." "loss," and "loss of
use." The definition of "injury"
proposed by NOAA is different from
that contained in the CERCLA rule.
According to the CERCLA rule, injury
is defined as "a measurable adverse
change, either long- or short-term, in the
chemical or physical quality or the
viability of a natural resource resulting
either directly or indirectly from
exposure to a discharge of oil or release
of a hazardous substance, or exposure to
a product of reactions resulting from the
discharge of oil or release of a hazardous
substance." The definition of injury
under CEROA Incorporates the
concepts of injury and causality.
Specific injury definitions and
causation £or resources,are detailed in
the CERCLA rule.
Under the OPA proposed rule. NOAA
has attempted to mot* clearly delineate
these terms. The definition of injury
under the OPA proposed rule is more
relaxed because it does not require.that
there be a "measurable" adverse change.
Consequently, any discharge is likely to
result in an injury. The OPA proposed
rule defines injury as "any adverse
change in a natural resource, or any
impairment of a human or ecological
service provided by a resource." Injury
causation (i.e.. definition of "injury
resulting from a discharge") has been
determined when the trasteefs) has
demonstrated that: (1) With direct
exposure, (a) the natural resource was
exposed; (b) there is a pathway between
the discharge and exposed natural
resource; and (c) the exposure of oil. its
components, or by-products has been
shown by rigorous and appropriate
scientific methodology to nave an
adverse effect on the natural resource in
laboratory experiments or the field: or
¦ (2) in the absence of direct exposure, (a)
the adverse effect on or impaired/
diminished use of a natural resource has
been shown by rigorous and appropriate
scientific methodology; and (b) the
adverse effect on or impeired/
diminished use of the natural resource
would not have occurred but for the bet
of the discharge or threat of a discharge.
The rationale for this approach is to
simplify the legal determination of
liability. Basically, liability is
established by the presence of oil in the
water. The trustee(s). however, recovers
damages by establishing a causal link -
between the presence of oil and the
observed advene change in the resource
or impairment of a human or ecological
service. Conceptually, this approach
does not change substantially the
definition of injury under the CERCLA
rule.
Compensation Formulas
The proposed rule offers a new
damage assessment procedure in the
form of compensation formulas for both
estuarine/marine and inland waters. -
The estuarine/marine and inland waters
compensation formulas described in
this proposed rule are applicable to the
vast majority of oil discharges. An
analysis of reported coastal discharges
of oil from 1973-1990 shows that 99.8%
of the discharges were less than 50.000
gallons and 99% were less than 10.000
Elions. Compensation formulas would
used for most of these relatively
small discharges. These formulas would
allow an estimate of damages per gallon
taking into account average restoration
costs; plus average lost direct use values
pending restoration.For various
reasons, passive use values are not
included in these formulas'at this time.
The'formulas assume various levels of
natural resource effects likely to result
from the discharge of oil. These
assumptions consider the amount and
type of oil discharged and region and
n&itat type in which the discharge
occurs. The formulas are applicable to a
wide range of the most commonly
discharged oil products. This approach
allows both a national consistency and
regional specificity.
Some commenters expressed concern
that such formulas may urider-value
resources in industrialized or
biologically degraded areas. Others
noted several disadvantages in
simplified assessments, including the
potential overlapping trustee interests in
certain natural resources, damages will
not sufficiently reflect the extent of the
actual injury, and the risk that a
compensatory assessment could be
transformed into'a punitive exercise.
Since the compensation formula is
based upon avenges, it is impossible to
include all known coastai-haoitats and
every combination of discharges. As
proposed, the Estuarine and Marine
Environments Compensation Formula is
based upon 95 representative province/
habitat combinations, ranging from
Northern Maine to the Alaskan coast,
the Hawaiian and Pacific Islands. The
Inland (Freshwater) Weten
Compensation Formula is based upon
100 representative province/habitat
combinations representing the Great
Lakes and other inland waten by type.
i.e.. river, lake, fast flowing stream, etc.
By comparing the habitat of the actual
discharp with the province and specific
habitat used to estimate the damages in
the formula, the tnistee(s) should, in'
most cases, find the most applicable
scenario. NOAA emphasizes that the
primary advantages of a compensation
formula are for simplicity and cost-
effectiveness.
In cases where the circumstances of
an actual discharge are determined to be
for out of the bounds of the
compensation formula, the trusteefs)
should consider the use'of another
assessment procedure. The
compensation formulas generate
damages based on avenge restoration
costs and avenge diminution of value of
the affected natural resources and are
thus compensatory as authorized by
OPA. Therefore, the compensation
formulas are not akin to punitive
damages. •
NOAA is also-proposing that the
damages generated by the compensation
formulas will be conclusive in nature.

Implying the formulas in a particular

Regional Restoration Plans .
Section 1006(0 of OPA requires that
sums recovered as damages be used to
develop and implement a plan for the
restoration, rehabilitation, replacement,
or acquisition of the injured natural
resources. The proposed rule describes
two types of Restoration Plans. First, the.
trusteed) may develop an Incident-
Specific Restoration Plan to address the
effects of the discharge of concern. This
plan would be based upon the
restoration planning guidance given in
the proposed rule. This plan should
serve to define the objectives and
approach based on a sound
decisionmaking process for the
particular discharge site. However,
under this proposed rule, the trusteed)
would also be allowed to pool
recoveries to apply them to a Regional
Restoration Plan. These plans could be
developed on a geographical or habitat
v^sis to allow the recovery of the system
^ 'ered by the plan. Where such a plan
Heady exists, whether developed
Brough prespill planning efforts or
under regular management efforts, that
plan may be used if it has been
developed through a public review and
comment process that considers the
major factors contained in the
restoration planning guidance in the
rule. The plan must also address the
same or similar resource injuries as
those identified in the assessment
procedure. These requirements are •
completely consistent with the currant
dRCLA nrie, which also allows for
pooling damans. This option will likely
be most useful in areas Math long-term
pollution effects where damages from a
single discharge would be too small to
"restore" the ecosystem or when the
planning costs for the restoration after a
single discharge would be quite high
compared to the damage figure.
However, where a Regional Restoration
Plan has not been developed, an
Incident-Specific Restoration Plan must
be developed for use of the damages
recovered.
Several commenters have strongly
rejected the use of recoveries from
several discharges for an ecosystem,
^y. or area approach. The commenters
H ued that pooling* and usage of hinds
^contrary to the principles of
compensatory damages and avoidance
of double damages enunciated by
Congress in passing OPA. Further, this
usage contradicts section 1006(0 that
"there be a nexus between monies
recovered'resulting from a particular
spill and their use to restore or enhance .
the specific resources 'affected by a
discharge.'" Other commenters.
however, have supported a pooling of
funds in order to hind a restoration plan
for an entire region, provided a legally-
approved regional restoration plan
exists.
NQAA does not beiieve that pooling
recoveries for use in a Regional
Restoration Plan contradicts the
requirement in OPA that recoveries be
used to restore the resources affected by
a discharge. A relatively small recovery,
assessed by a compensation formula, is
unlikely to be sufficient to restore a bay
or 'sstuary affected by a discharge where
many forces are working to degrade that
ecosystem. By pooling recoveries, the
trustee(s) has a chance to cany out
meaningful actions to help that system
recover. The responsible party will be
able to defend against an attempted
double recovery by showing how the
damage figure is to be applied within
the regional plan.
Resource Values
The major focus on economic issues
within the rulemaking has been the
question of what types of values should
be included in a damage assessment and
what methods should be used to
measure those values. Section 1006(d)
of OPA authorises the trusteed) to
recover The cost of restoring,
rehabilitating, replacing or acquiring the
equivalent of the injured or lost natural
resources and/or services; the
diminution in value of the injured or
lost natural resources pending
restoration: plus the reasonable cost of
assessing those damages. In the
proposed rule, the total diminution in
value of resources and/or services
affected by a discharge is referred to as
compensable values, which include all
reliably calculated values that comprise
the total diminution in value of lost or
diminished services of trust resources as
a result of a discharge, from the onset
of the event until recovery to baseline or
comparable conditions is deemed
complete by the trusteed). In
accordance with the OPA Conference
Report,"diminution of value" refers to
the standard for measuring resource
damages cited in the D.C Circuit Court
decision on Ohio v. DOl. Hie Ohio
opinion defines "use values" broadly, to
encompass both direct use and passive
use values that can be reliably
calculated. i.e., calculated in a manner
that is trustworthy or worthy of
confidence.
Direct use values are defined as the
velue individuals derive from direct use
of ^natural resource. Direct uses of
resources include both consumptive
uses, such as fishing and bunting in
which resources are harvested, and
nonconsumptive uses, in which the
activity does not reduce the stock of
resources available for others at another
time, such as bird watching and
swimming. Passive use values are
defined as the values individuals place
on natural resources independent of
direct use of a resource by the
individual. The term "nonuse values"
has also been used to refer to the same
concept, but NOAA prefers the term
"passive use values." Passive use values
include, but are not limited to: the value
of knowing the resource is eveilabie for
use by family, friends, or the general
public and the value derived from
protecting the natural resource for its
own sake; and the value of knowing that
future generations will be sble to use the
resource.
Some interested parties have asserted
that passive use value damages should
only be assessed for permanent or long-
lasting injuries to unique natural
resources—etypical conditions for
discharges of oiL They argued there is
no need for compensation for lost
passive use values when the resource
will ftilly recover and when
compensation .will be paid for direct use
losses pending restoration.
Others have argued that passive use
values should be included in damage
assessment, because exclusion would
understate the true cost of exposing
natural resources to environmentally
risky activities. They have also argued
that exclusion of passive use values
would induce systematic reallocation of
environmentally risky activities to those
environments that generate graeter
passive use values relative to direct use
values.
NOAA has found no empirical
evidence to suggest that a natural
resource must be unique, non-
reproducible and/or permanently
injured in. order to have significant
passive use values. NOAA recognizes
that, in cases involving temporary
injury, individuals may not experience
e significant sense of loss because the
existence of the resource is not
permanently threatened. NOAA has
found ample evidence, from the OPA
Conference Re portend the decision in
Ohio v. DO!, to believe that "diminution
of value" refers to the standard for
measuring resource damages dted in
Ohio v. DOI. This opinion defines "use
values" broadly, to encompass both
direct use and passive use values that
can be reliably measured. NOAA
-------
1074
Federal Register / Vol. 59. No. 5 / Friday. January 7, 1994 / Proposed Rules
believes that failure to include all
relevant categories of damages in a
claim would understate the true loss to
the American public attributable to a
discharge of oil. Under OPA. fnd in
accordance with the Ohio v~D01
decision, passive use values an a
component of compensable values that
are necessary to fully compensate the
public for losses as a result of a
discharge, and to return the public, as
nearly as possible, to the level of well-
being it enjoyed before the discharge.
Contingent Valuation Method ¦
In the Ohio decision, the D.C Circuit
Court determined that the interim lost
value portion of the claim was to
include total resource value,
encompassing both direct use
(recreational, commercial, cultural/
historical) and passive use of resources.
In the comments, there has been
substantial discussion about contingent
valuation (CV). the only known
methodology for measuring the passive
use component of total resource value.
CV is a survey-based approach to the
valuation of nonmarket goods and
Services that relies on a questionnaire
for the direct elidtation of information
about the value of the good or sendee
in question.
Contingent valuation surveys
generally measure total value of a good
or service. w*hich includes both direct
use value and passive use values.
Because passive uses of resources leave
no behavioral trace, they are to
validate externally. A number of
criticisms of CV pertain specifically to
its use in valuing the passive use
component of total use value and the
difficulty of external validation of that
component of total value. Proponents of
CV assert that these problems are not
inherent to the method and that well-
designed and well-executed CV studies
can eliminate them or render them
inconsequential
Though no other methods are
available to provide alternative
estimates of the passive use component
of total value, it is possible to develop
e variety of tests to evaluate the validity
of the responses. Due to the substantial
interest in the topic. NOAA convened a
panel of experts co-chaired by two
Nobel laureates, to evaluate the
reliability of CV to measure passive use
values. "Hie report issued by the panel
is psrt of the administrative record of
this rulemaking, along with the
comments received from economists,
industry representatives and other
interested parties. Based upon
information in the panel's report and
other comments. NOAA is
recommending several validity tests in
guidance for designing and conducting
CV studies provided in the proposed
rule.
NOAA is proposing that reliable
estimates of lost passive use value due
to discharges of oil can be estimated
using CV so long as the CV study
follows the guidance offered in this
preamble and the proposed regulations.
This guidance basically states that the
trustee(sl should follow a conservative
approach when designing a CV
instrument, that is. to choose the design
that would understate the natural •
resource damage rather than overstate
the damage.
One commenter has noted that any
damage assessment rule authoriidng CV
to measure passive use damages could
well cost the U.S. economy hundreds of
millions of dollars annually by
generating excessively high estimates of
passive use damages and could result in
the bankruptcy of some responsible
parties. The proposed rale has bean
designated as a -major" rule because of
the significant issues involved in the
rulemaking. However, because of the
difficulty of evaluating the effects of •
alternatives to this proposal a .
Regulatory Impact Analysis under E.O.-
12866 is not necessary and has been
waived.
Discounting Damages
Calculation of natural resource
damages will generally require the use
of discounting in the estimation of: (1)
Estimated restoration costs; (2)
diminution in value of the Injured or
lost resources pending restoration; and
(3) damage memment and restoration
costs incurred by the trusteed
"Discounting** is a widely used
economic procedure that allows the
trusteeU) to convert pest and future
damage sums to Current dollars. This
conversion is necessary for the trustse(s)
to be able to present a claim for a "sum
certain." Currently, the CEROA rule
requires that a 10% discount rate be
used. NOAA is proposing that the U.S.
Treasury rete should be used for
discounting a trustee damage claim.
DISCUSSION
Subpart A
Scope. Applicability. Purpose
OPA provides for ths prevention of.
liability for. removal of. end
compensation for the discharge of oil
into or upon the navigable waters or
adjoining shorelines of the United
States, including the natural resources
of the Exclusive Economic Zone. OPA
provides for the designation of federal,
state. Indian tribe, and/or foreign
officials to act on behalf of the public as
trustee(s) for the nation's natural
resources. In the event that natural
resources are injured, destroyed, lost, or
the loss of use of natural resources
occurs as a result of s discharge of oil
covered by OPA. these officials are to
assess natural resource damages, present'
a claim to the RP(s). recover damages,
and develop and implement a plan for
the restoration, rehabilitation,
replacement, or ecquisition of the
equivalent of natural resources and/or
services under their trusteeship.
This part applies to assessments of
damages resulting from discharges of oil
where those discharges occurred after
the effective date of OPA (August 18.
1990). Discharges involving mixtures of
oil and hazardous substances would
ordinarily be covered by CERCLA.
However, the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (U-S. EPA) has issued
guidance on the petroleum exclusion
under sections 101(14) and 104(a)(2) of
CERCLA. (U.S. EPA Memorandum on
the Petroleum Exclusion under the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act. July 31.1987; BNA Environment
Reporter 41:3321.2/12/88.) Under this
guidance oil coveted by OPA would be:
(1) Crude oil and fractions of aude oil
including the hazardous substances,
such es benzene, toluene, and xylene,
which are indigenous to petroleum and
its refinedproducts; and (2) hazardous
substances that are normally mixed with
or added to crude oil or aude oil
fractions during the refining process,
including hazardous substances that
have incesssd in level as a result of the
refining process. However, hazardous
substances added to petroleum that
increase in concentration through any
process other than refining, or added as
a result of contamination of the
petroleum during use (including waste
oil), would not be excluded from
CERCLA. For example, the presence of
dioxin in oil used as a dust suppressant
on highways would bring a dischsrge of
such a mixture under the jurisdiction of
CERCLA. not OPA.
This part applies to all natural
resource damages caused by oil (es
defined by the Clean Water Act
amended by OPA) discharged into .
navigable waters of the United States.
The "oU" definition includes petroleum
and non-petroleum (e.g.. animal,
vegetable, and wood chemicel). A
natural resource damage assessment
may be appropriate even in discharges
caused by-carrien transporting
quantities smaller than the threshold
limits that wpiild require OPA response
plans. The determination of when
natural resource damage assessment j
will be conducted is a responsibility ofl

The proposed rule repeats the statutory
language of "belonging to. managed by.
held in trust by. appertaining to. or
otherwise controlled by." and thus
covers a broad range of government
interest in natural resources on behalf of
the public. Pursuant to that language,

Response to Comments
Scope. Applicability. Purpose
Comment: Severe 1 commenters noted
that the damage assessment procedures
outlined in this proposed rule apply
only to discharges of oil under OTA.
These commenters pointed out that this
rule replaces the current DOl rule, at 43
CFR oart 11. for natural resooiee
dam .-?• assessments in discharges of oil.
One f ¦ >ese commenters noted that the
DOI rule cannot be incorporated since
parts of that rule were declared fflegel
and are not yet revised.
Response: NOAA agrees that the
proposed rale only applies to natural
resource damage assessments performed
for discharges of oil under OPA. When
this proposed rule Is promulgated as a
final rule, it will supersede those parts
of the current 43 QTt pert 11 that deel
with discharees of oil covered by OPA.
The status oi43 CFR put 11 Is
immaterial to this ongoing rulemaking
since only those smUnnii upheld by the
Court In tho Ohio dadsion were used as
a starting point for the OPA regulations.
Comment One of those oommeaters
spedficaDy stated that, since the
decisions of Ohio v. OS. Department of
the Interior tOhlo) and State of Colorado
v. US. Deportment of the latuior
(Colorado) concerning 43 CFR part 11
wem decided hefenQPA'a peaaege,
those two decisions are not controlling
over NOAA'a rule. These commeniers
argue thet Congress was aware of tbe
dortsinne but did not inmrpceate them
in the NOAA charge to promulgate this
DrsDand kIl
Aespoase.'NQAA notes that the
decisions in Ohio and Colorado cases
are not directly controlling on the OPA
rules. However, the decisions do
represent the only existing case law on
some of the issues involved in this
rulemaking. Also, Congress did
specifically reference the Ohio
decision's definition of "diminution of
value" in the Conference Report on
OPA.
Comment Several commehian noted
that tbe natural resource damage
assessment rule is a part of the
regulatory scheme covered by OPA.
These commenters uiged NOAA to keep
this perspective in mind so that NOAA's
rule does not duplicate or overlap other
OPA regulations; therefore. NOAA's
rule should not allow punitive damages,
since penalties are set up in other
provisions of OPA, nor should this rule
allow scientific research beyond what is
needed to determine the netural
resource damages.
Response: NOAA recognizes that this
proposed rule is but e small part of the
larger scheme of regulations required by
OPA. For example, this proposed rule
would supplement the overall activities
surrounding e response to oil discharges
set out in the NCP. 40 CFR part 300.
There art elso regulatory requirements
for transport of oil, certification of
vessels, etc, called for by Title IV of
OPA These other rulemakings are
separate and apart from this proposed
rule. NOAA has been coordinating with,
other federal agendes, particularly those
other agendes that have regulatory and
planning responsibilities under OPA to
ensure consistency and avoid
overlapping requirements.
NOAA also notes that Title VII of
OPA authorizes an ambitious nueaidi
and development program on oil
pollution to cover the besic reeeeich
that is beyond a natural resource
damage ¦iiH.iimmit. As noted elsewhere
in tbe preamble, this proposed rule
disallerws work beyond that needed to
