Enhancing Water Crude Oil Response Strategies in NW Area

This paper focuses on identifying gaps and issues in fast water crude oil response in the Columbia River area. Recommendations include incorporating response manuals into the Area Plan, assessing equipment, staging needs, and rail industry involvement. Topics cover emergency consultation tools, In Situ Burn policy development, oil spill response techniques, and wildlife rehabilitation criteria.

  1. NW Area Committee 2014 Task Forces

  2. Oil By Rail TF • Identify gaps, issues and recommended tools/solutions for fast water crude oil response. Using a gap analysis for responses to a crude oil spill into the Columbia River, the paper should identify solutions to the specific response issues. Topics should include: • Incorporate fast water response manuals and recommendations in Area Plan (literature search) • Look at current equipment • Identify any staging needs • Request rail industry to put their notification process into the area plan • Request Rail industry to put response equipment on WRRL

  3. ESA Section 7 - Emergency Consultation Tools TF • Use Cultural and Historic Preservation Act tool and Region IX tool to develop an ESA emergency consultation tool. This may include checklists, contacts, and process flow diagrams and a flow chart.

  4. In Situ Burn TF • Continue work of (and complete) 2013 ISB TF to develop and implementable ISB Policy using current health standards. • This group will not reconsider the pre-authorization zone.

  5. Group V Oils Response TF • Create a section (response tool pullout) in the NWACP that outlines response techniques tools, tactics and considerations unique to Group 5 oil spills. Compile or draw from existing information.

  6. SCAT Pre-Segmentation • Continue coordination between stakeholder agencies. Hold a one day workshop to discuss and develop draft segmented shoreline process before starting the segmentation.

  7. Public Information Strategy TF (Outreach and JIC Expansion) • Construct an overall strategy to provide the public with the information they need both prior to and in the aftermath of an incident.

  8. Wildlife Rehabilitation TF • Brainstorming Session for Potential locations • Identify criteria for determining locations • A decision Flow chart • Geographic Review • More specific requirements for birds, and which rules apply • A list of real estate and property managers that can be called about facilities • Scoping requirements for marine mammals • Identify team for ground truth for facilities and locations identified. • Incorporate King County list into our list and potentially add for other places that use the process

  9. Work Outside TF Structure • Trustee Notification Guidelines • Derelict Vessels • Chapter 3000 Rewrite • Volunteer Management 2014 • Places of Refuge TF

  10. Passed Over for 2014 • Common Operating Picture • Compilation of Science • VTRA Study Inclusion • 9401: Permit Matrix • Incident Command Post
