Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of the study was to determine the types, quantities and locations of equipment required by the U.S. Coast Guard to respond to spills of hazardous chemicals into U.S. waters and adjacent shorelines, over and above the resources of private industry, contractors and other government agencies. The methodology was to (1) assess equipment availability outside the Coast Guard, (2) determine the distribution of hazardous chemical spills in time and location, and (3) determine the Coast Guard equipment deployment, allowing for the results of (1) and (2).

This book was released on 1979 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents results of a study to examine the siting and equipment requirements that would have to be met for the U.S. Coast Guard to provide an adequate response within six hours for spills of up to 100,000 tons (28,000,000 gals.) of oil in U.S. waters. A data base of spills over 50,000 gallons in U.S. waters has been compiled from the Pollution Incident Reporting System and National Response Center files of the USCG. Spill rates are derived and applied for the U.S. as a whole and for four major sub-areas. A set of baseline pollution response equipment is adopted, and several equipment site configurations covering the U.S. are evaluated on the basis of six-hour coverage, historic spills encompassed and spill potential. Relative levels of equipment capability for the sites are derived from a simple optimization model. These relative levels are converted to specific equipment requirements on the basis of reasonable forecasts of oil movements in U.S. coastal waters, including oceanic tankers, coastal tank vessels, deepwater ports, and outer continental shelf production. Additional needs of the U.S. Coast Guard are estimated by subtracting the response capacity of equipment available from other response organizations. Worldwide experience of oil spills larger than 1,000,000 gallons is also examined for 1968-1978, and three massive spill scenarios are presented for the U.S. Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Corresponding response scenarios are evaluated, and site locations, equipment levels and logistic requirements are rexamined.

This book was released on 1982 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The test procedure and study documented by this report were performed to evaluate the ability of a remote vehicle system to perform pollutant sampling and vessel hull rupture plugging during hazardous chemical spills. Part I testing in which a RECON III-B vehicle was used to take water samples and plug test target holes using preselected equipment supplied by the U.S. Coast Guard has shown that a remote vehicle is capable of performing the necessary tasks, under certain conditions. The tests have also shown that the configuration of the plugging wands used in, but not designed for, the tests is not acceptable for use in a remote vehicle application. The hazardous chemical vehicle effects study concludes that the RECON III-B vehicle is acceptable for operation in hazardous chemical conditions as defined by the United States Coast Guard. Only one substitution requires attention, this being vehicle paint, but it is not mandatory for successful operation. Otherwise the RECON system, as is, will perform in the defined hazardous chemical environments with the high reliability shown in the commercial operations.

This book was released on 1980 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is a study of methods that might be used by the Coast Guard, in accomplishing three tasks when responding to a hazardous chemical spill originating from a tank vessel or barge in the marine environment. The specific tasks are: (1) Damage inspection of the endangered vessel; (2) Delivery of Coast Guard hazardous chemical patching and plugging devices (e.g., polystyrene foam plug, evacuated foam plug, air/water inflatable bags); and (3) Delivery of a chemical sensor for venting rate measurements, sampling, and analysis for the detection, identification, and quantification of hazardous chemical pollutants. Mission requirements and hardware design goals are established. All possible methods are reviewed and subjected to a weighted factor evaluation. The results of the evaluation indicate the most promising approach is through the application of a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV). Detailed information of ROVs is compiled and presented. (Author).

This book was released on 2019-01-18 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Law Library presents the complete text of the Vessel and Facility Response Plans for Oil - 2003 Removal Equipment Requirements and Alternative Technology Revisions (Federal Register Publication) (US Coast Guard Regulation) (USCG) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 The Coast Guard is updating its requirements for oil-spill removal equipment associated with vessel response plans and marine transportation-related facility response plans. This update is based on an ongoing review of these requirements conducted by the Coast Guard pursuant to our regulations. These changes will add requirements for new response technologies and revise methods and procedures for responding to oil spills upon the navigable waters of the United States, adjoining shorelines, and the exclusive economic zone. The Coast Guard is also revising the compliance date for updates of vessel response plans (VRPs) required by the Salvage and Marine Firefighting final rule. This extension of the compliance date will ensure that plan holders are not required to update their VRPs twice within a 12-month period. This ebook contains: - The complete text of the Vessel and Facility Response Plans for Oil - 2003 Removal Equipment Requirements and Alternative Technology Revisions (Federal Register Publication) (US Coast Guard Regulation) (USCG) (2018 Edition) - A dynamic table of content linking to each section - A table of contents in introduction presenting a general overview of the structure

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses the U.S. Coast Guard Atlantic Strike Team, covering the general organization, capabilities, and inventory of response equipment and instrumentation. Because the Atlantic Strike Team has become increasingly involved in federal hazardous waste site activities, the paper focuses on chemical response. In the course of such a response, team members must continually evaluate site hazards and thereby play an active role in the determination of adequate personnel protection equipment. The paper discusses procedures used at the Atlantic Strike Team for making these determinations, as well as identifying those resources available to assist in both level of protection and protective suit material selection decision logic.

This book was released on 2019-01-17 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Law Library presents the complete text of the Temporary Suspension - Certain Oil Spill Response Time Requirements to Support Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill of National Significance (SONS) Response (US Coast Guard Regulation) (USCG) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 This joint Coast Guard and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) temporary interim rule will suspend oil spill response time requirements, and certain identification and location requirements, for facilities and vessels whose response resources are relocated in support of the Deepwater Horizon SONS response. By providing oil spill removal organizations (OSROs), and facilities and vessels with their own response resources, with the temporary opportunity to relocate response resources from current locations to the Gulf of Mexico, this rule directly assists in the urgently needed immediate relocation of nationwide oil spill response resources to the Gulf of Mexico to aid in the response to the Deepwater Horizon SONS. The rule also provides notice that the Federal On-Scene Coordinator for the Deepwater Horizon SONS has requested the Armed Forces to relocate Armed Forces oil spill response resources, in particular those of the Navy, from their current locations to the Gulf of Mexico to aid in the response to the Deepwater Horizon SONS.
