Book BP Deepwater Horizon Spill

Download or read book BP Deepwater Horizon Spill written by and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the nation, the Deepwater Horizon oil well blowout and release was unprecedented in scope, scale, and duration. While the response system established by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA 90) has effectively dealt with approximately 1,500 oil spill incidents per year since its enactment, this incident exposed deficiencies in planning and preparedness for an uncontrolled release of oil from an offshore drilling operation. The incident also highlighted the differences between the system of response for oil spills and that provided for other emergencies such as natural disasters and terrorist incidents.

Book The U  S  Coast Guard s  USCG s  Oversight of Recommendations from Deepwater Horizon After Action Reports

Download or read book The U S Coast Guard s USCG s Oversight of Recommendations from Deepwater Horizon After Action Reports written by Michael Siviy and published by . This book was released on 2014-04-26 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The April 20, 2010, oil spill that followed the explosion of the Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit, Deepwater Horizon, was the largest in U.S. history. It was also the first Spill of National Significance -- so complex that it required extraordinary coordination of Federal, State, local, and responsible party resources to contain and clean up the discharge. As the lead Federal agency for oil spill or hazardous material incidents in U.S. coastal waters, the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) served as the Federal On-Scene Coordinator for response to this oil spill. Seven after action reports containing 549 recommendations were issued in the wake of this incident. This report attempted to determine whether the USCG had implemented Deepwater Horizon after action report recommendations. However, due to inconsistencies in the USCG's process to track progress, this report sought to understand how the USCG tracked after action report recommendations and why the USCG had difficulty in providing supporting documentation for the recommendations it said were completed. The USCG did not provide effective oversight of recommendations made to it in Deepwater Horizon after action reports, nor could it provide reasonable assurance that corrective actions for the Deepwater Horizon incident addressed the recommendations in these after action reports. This may have affected the response to the oil spill and could affect the USCG's response to future disasters. Table and figure. This is a print on demand report.
