  3. In October 2001 a Commandant message placed the trailers on a low emphasis due to our additional duties of Security! In March of 2004 District 5 decided to bring the purpose of the trailers back into focus. Pollution Response Trailers

  4. I inspected and recorded the deteriorating conditions and quickly learned how difficult it would be to achieve full intended function of their use with Sector support for a program left to decay for years. Pollution Response Trailers

  5. District 5 has an average use of 3 times/year for the trailers. I’m speaking of FY04, 05, and 06. Pollution Response Trailers

  6. Pollution Response Trailers District Five has 24 trailers distributed like this; Sector Delaware Bay 5 trailers Sector Baltimore 7 trailers Sector Hampton Roads 5 trailers Sector North Carolina 7 trailers

  7. The Sector Engineering Officer was brought along on the FY06 inspection of the trailers. HQ included the response trailers in a May 2005 preventative maintenance manual. Pollution Response Trailers

  8. Current plans! • 2 Sector response personnel attended a 5-day oil spill booming course in November. Sectors are asked to provide stations the skills and knowledge of deploying boomby April 1st. Pollution Response Trailers

  9. Current plans! • Captain of the Ports had this training in place before 9/11! The District Admiral wants to return to a proficient level! Pollution Response Trailers

  10. Future plans! • Make District Five’s trailer hitches all the same size as the Standard 25 ft Boat trailer, 2-5/16 in. This simplifies equipment needs when a young Coastie is in a hurry! We started doing this with our seven new trailers we just bought. • Place the annual inspection in the Ready for Operations (RFO) process. • Any questions? Pollution Response Trailers
