References Federal Water Pollution Control Act (amended by) Oil Pollution Act of 1990 National Preparedness for the Response Exercise Program (PREP) August 2016. 33 CFR Parts 154 and 155 Marine Environmental Response Manual
Applicability • Facilities transferring oil or hazardous material in bulk • (33 CFR Part 154) • Tank vessels required to have a vessel response plan • (33 CFR Part 155.1015) • Non-tank vessels required to have a vessel response plan • (33 CFR Part 155.5060)
Facility Response Plans • Required for all MTR facilities that can be expected to cause substantial harm, or significant and substantial harm, to the environment. • Substantial Harm requires 200’ of boom in 1 hour. • Significant and Substantial Harm requires 1000’ of boom in 1 hour. • Availability of response equipment. • OSRO contract listen in plan and up to date. • Records management. • Inspection and maintenance records for 3 years. • Equipment listed is in inventory and operational. • Valid for 5 years.
Coast Guard Policy • Determining Factors: • Past performance in actual spills and exercises. • Safety and environmental compliance history. • Concerns with equipment or OSRO to meet requirements. • Proximity to environmentally sensitive areas.
Goals • Test the ability of facility response plan (FRP) and vessel response plan (VRP) holders to execute their plan in response to an average most probable discharge (AMPD) • Strengthen interagency and industry partnerships • Improve the COTP’s awareness of plan holder’s emergency procedures and local Oil Spill Removal Organization (OSRO) capabilities
Expectations • Safety • Notifications • Response Capabilities
Industry Benefits • If a GIUE is determined to be successful, the plan holder will be exempted from another for 36 months and will receive credit for three other exercises: • Notification Exercise • Incident Management Team Exercise • Equipment Deployment Exercise
Common Failure Causes • Notifications • One hour response window • FRP not used
