MARINE OIL SPILL RESPONSE Safety is fundamental to all aspects of spill response operations. Personnel awareness is a vital part of safety.
A site safety evaluation and characterization will include: Hazard identification/evaluation 

### (e.g., chemical, physical, biological) and routes of exposure Site access and 

### egress Detennination and use of the appropriate personal protective equipmenl (PPE) Ability to provide personnel decontamination Implementallon of safety and health practices Site safety briefing



### POTENTIAL CHARACTERISTICS OF A SPILL SITE Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards exist for the more volatile components of crude oil: benzene and total hydrocarbon (THC), measured as parts per million of volatile organic compounds (VOC). Benzene and THC 

### are expected to evaporate when exposed to the atmosphere.


### SITE CHARACTERIZATION AND ENTRY LIMITATIONS Site characterization is a three slep process: (1) a preliminary evaluation using a pre-entry survey. (2) the initial sile characlerization, and (3) an oni/oing sile characterization and monitoring.


### First responders and/or vessels on scene initiate the site characterization process with a pre-entry survey. General Procedure: 1. Use full-face respiratory protection. 2. Assure vessel safety by measuring air contaminant levels below the lowest point of any ignition sourceS. 3. Verify conditions 

### are within limits for the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) and THC vapors. 4. Continue site monitoring to measure and alert personnel of changing conditions. Monitoring shall be constant unlil the Safety Officer directs otherwise. Srte Safety Officer makes a preliminary evaluation of a site's characteristics (hazards) before site entry.


### SITE SAFETY OFFICER WILL: Delennine if people 

### are injured or trapped and contact help as soon as possible. Delineate affected area (Hot and Wann lone). Designate site as "Dangerous

- No Smoking." Stay upwind from spill. 

### Restrict access to spill area to those involved in initial containment. Consider the need for the following: protective 

### gear, decontamination, site control, and safety equipment. Gather any and all pertinent data (begin evaluation). The decision as to whether or not any given entry shall be atlempted is ultimately the responsibility of the On-Scene Commander.

Nole: All 'Vs/ues given are for planning purposes only.
Shell Beaufort and Chukchi Seas Regional Tactics Manual 03109 REVISED 

### Site Access 

### & Characterization (continued) 

# S-1

PRE-ENTRY SURVEY The survey will include, but is not limited to: Hazard identification of conditions thai through either inhalation or skin absorption are immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH) or other life threatening conditions. Product discharged. Approximate quantity or description of spilled material. Location of product. TIme the discharge occurred. Cause of the discharge. Current status. 

### Weather conditions on-sileo Wind Sea state (wave height) State of tide Ice conditions Has any air sampling been completed? If so, what are the results? Other onoSlte problems that must be considered before initiating a response. Report the survey results to the Safety Officer. The pre-entry survey will serve as a basis for conducting the initial site characterization and a detennination of the appropriate PPE.


### SITE ENTRY Immediately afler the initial site entry, a more detailed evaluation of the site's specific characteristics is completed in order to further identify eXisting hazards and aid in the selection of appropriate PPE.


### ONGOING SITE CHARACTERIZATION AND MONITORING Spill response IS a dynamic undertaking; affected by wind, weather, the nature of the spill (ongoing or not), quantity spilled. and weathering of the spilled material. These factors and others influence the ongoing concem for the 

### safety of responders. To sustain a safe response, on-scene vessels continue 

### to monitor conditions and work environment, reporting static and changing conditions to the Operations Section to be incorporated into the ongoing site safety plan. Should the reading indicate the conditions exceed permissible limits, leave the immediate 

### area. 

# I PERSONNEL AND VESSELS ARRIVING AT THE SCENE ARE TO CHECK IN WITH THE 

# I RESPONSE SUPERVISOR OR DESIGNEE,

ALL OTHER VESSELS When a vessel amves on scene, the On-Scene Coordinator or Safety Officer may instruct other vessels to conduct 

### the pre-entry survey, initial site characterization, or continue ongoing site characterization monitoring - as needed. Field measurements will be conducted for each Task Force involved in a response. Every atlempt should be made 

### to ensure that all vessels, induding the boom boats, remain in a dean breathing zone and not necessarily be required to wear respirators to perform their assignments. 

### COMMUNICATIONS Chain of command: The pre..,ntry survey will be communicated to the Response Supervisor. Site characterization related infonnation assembled by on-scene vessels is transmitled to the Operations Section by the Response Supervisor. The Operations Section and the Safety Officer prepare the site safety plan and the safety portion of the Incident Action Plan (lAP) that is cascaded back out to field personnel.
The On-Scene Coordinator will document initial site safety and control on the ICS 201-5 fonn. The Safety Officer will develop an incident-specific safety plan for Unified Command approval.

Air Monitoring
Entry and appropriate PPE decisions are made based upon several air quality measurements. "AES Site Characterization/Entry/Respiratory Protection Decision Tree" summarizes the air quality measurements, enlry, and respiratory protection standards exercised by AES (See Figure 1). Each air quality aspect is described in more detail below. 

### OXYGEN Oxygen concentrations should be between 19.5% and 23.5% to ensure accurate LEL, benzene, and THC. It is important 

### to document oxygen concentrations to ensure subsequent hydrocarbon measurements are accurate. Moreover, this procedure does not address any confined space entry where depressed or elevated oxygen is likely to occur. 

### FLAMMABLE LEVELS OF HYDROCARBON VAPORS To prevent the ignition of a spill, the initial step in the site dlaracterization procedure is to measure hydrocarbon levels to ensure they are not present in concentrations above the LEL. Therefore readings should be taken from various heights above the water/wor!< area below potential sounces of ignition. Start gas readings one foot above water surtace, continue readings at one foot Intervals, up to the working areaJbreathing zone. 

### GAS TESTING EQUIPMENT Normally, the Initial Site Characterization Team will assess the site hazards using LEL and photo-ionizing detector (PI D) gas meters that provide an immediate warning of unsafe conditions such as hazards posed by fiammable or explosive levels of hydrocarbon vapors and hydrogen sulfide. The results of these measurements will be used to determine the level of respiratory protection and PPE required for wor!< in the spill area.
An alternative approach can be used when each response team reports to a designated person (e.g. Initial Response Incident Commander [I RIC], Safety Officer, etc.) for the meter readings from that location. The overall site is then assessed by the designated person receiving the readings from each location or response vesselJbarge.
Muilimeter Gas Detectors: AES multimeter gas detectors are equipped with oxygen and H,S sensors calibrated to measure the levels of oxygen, hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide (CO), and have LEL sensors. The gas meters are designed to measure the level of hydrocarbon vapors as a percentage of the LEL of the hydrocarbon vapors in air. Photo-Ionizing Detectors: Photo-ionizing detectors can directiy measure total hydrocarbon and benzene concentrations. These are direct reading, real-time instruments, that provide direct readings in parts per million of THCNOC total hydrocarbons and/or benzene.

### ONGOING SITE CHARACTERIZATION AND MONITORING Because wind, weather, the dynamics of the spill incident (isolated spill or ongoing), and other factors infiuence site safety, ongoing monitoring is necessary to sustain a safe response. Site conditions will be monitored throughout the response until the Site Safety Officer determines it will no longer be necessary,

# .. 1­Tracking Oil Discharge in Open Waler 

# TS-1
Aerial and Vessel-Based Tracking

## ~"--

DESCRIPTION There are multiple ways to determine the location of an oil slick and project its movement. These tracking and surveillance methods are performed by three different means.

Visual Surveillance Remote Sensing Ted1niques such as Forward-Looking Infrared (FUR) and Tracking Buoys Modeling (refer to Tactic TS-3)



### Visual Surveillance Visual surveillance, either by on-site observations or by aerial reconnaissance, may be one of the most effective means of defining a spill location and its potential trajectory. Trained aerial observers may also be employed to direct on·water recave!)' assets into the heaviest oil concentration improving recovery effioencies.
An aerial observer's role may involve: 1. Surveillance

- determining the location and status of any spill source; characterizing the nature and extent of the spill, assessing potential impacts and trajectories; and documenting and reporting observations. 2. Spotting -locating heavy oil concentrations for containment and recovery operations and for controlled burning; guiding and aligning aircraft and vessels during the application of dispersants; and the positioning of vessels with fire boom for the collection and ignition of oil. 3. Monitoring

- assessing and documenting the results of med1anical cleanup. dispersant use and burning; detecting and reporting existing or potential wildlife exposures, environmental conditions. and shoreline impacts; and supporting SMART personnel and other air or surface monitoring activities. Platform options to accommodate surveillance ano tracking would indude helicopter. fixed-wing, or vessel. Aircraft, either helicopters or fixed-wing. allow a greater vantage point from which to view a spill and can cover a larger area. Helicopters provide more controlled access or flexibility (can fly slower and at lower altitudes than fixedwing aircraft). Fixed-wing aircraft usually travel longer distances and are faster than helicopters, allowing a rapid assessment over a broad area. Vessel access provides an up close look at the oil itself including the oil thid<ness and consistency.

# T S-1

FUR and Buoys Remote sensing using satellites or buoys is used in an oil spill as a real-time tracking or recording tool.
Aerial and vessel support for visual surveillance may provide audio transmissions and FUR images in addition to visual reports. The FUR system is operable at all times of the day. With the FUR system, thid< areas of oil within an oil slick can be identified because they emit more thermal radiation than the surrounding areas.
Oil spill tracking buoys may be deployed into a slick to monitor its movement during periods of iow visibility, or when observers cannot remain on location. Tracking buoys may be equipped with an antenna and transmitter, so that personnel onboard an aircraft or work boat can monitor the buoys (possibly by salellite) and transmit the slick's position to a vessel or shoreside location. Passive (non-transmitting buoys) or beacons can also be used for trad<ing oil slick movement. Dyes, radar, refleclors, lights. and bright floats can be used to help relocate oil slicks over short periods of drift. Buoys may also be used to track oiled ice through the winter months. Together with daily weather recordings, satellite images, and ice-movement modeling activities. the continued release and trad<ing of buoys will enabte responders and technical specialist to monitor changes in the location, speed, and direction of oiled ice. The seasonal pack ice zone, although mobile, may experience periods of little or no ice motion. 

### SUPPORT Work boats or helicopters can deploy the transmitter buoys into the slid< during response operations.
NOAA has developed an Open Water Oil Identification Job Aid for Aerial Observation which includes checklists, example photographs and sketches, and coverage charts. Resources for Oil Spill Tracking on water may include a digital camera, a diagram or map of the area, marking pens/pencils, log book, and an aircraft or vessel to be used as an observation platform. If the oil is not visibie, tracking buoys or an infrared sensor may be an option. 

### CONSIDERATIONS AND LIMITATIONS
A GPS may be used to define the area of the slick. Digital photographs may also be taken to estimate volumes. If using a GPS, coordinale datums for ease of cross reference and accurate location. Coordinate with Incident Command representatives to have multiple observers from differenl organizations on aerial surveillance flights. The surveillance team should strive for a coordinated approach and report back to the Command through the Siluation Unit. Experienced aerial observers may be a representative from NOAA (Scientific Support Coordinator), the USCG, and the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC), or a private contractor.

DESCRIPTION If spilled oil can be contained to a sufficient thickness. it can be ignited for sustained combustion. This thickness varies between 2 millimeters (mm) and 10 mm (0.08 to 0.39 inches) depending on oil product and the degree of weathering. The result is an efficient removal of oil from the surface of the water.
Fire containment boom can either be utilized in a stationary or advancing mode. In a stationary mode. the vessels are anchored approximately 160 ft 

### apart. downwind or down current of the oil movement for collection and concentration in the boom apex.
In an advancing mode, the vessels tow the boom in a standard configuration to collect oil and concentrate 

### it in the booms' apex for buming.
The buming of oil may also be conducted during ice conditions. In this case. the ice may act as the containment and concentration mechanism. Ignition of the contained oil may be a=mplished by: Hand-held igniters. deployed from a helicopter or vessel. Heli-torch, a device slung under a helicopter that releases buming gelled fuel.

The burning of oil within the containment boom may be tenminated by: Releasing one end of the containment boom. This allows the previous contained oil 10 spread to a thickness where combustion cannot be mainlained. Increasing the boom towing speed, causing the oil to be forced underneath the containment boom (entrainment). and allowed to spread. At the condusion of the buming activity, there will be residue remaining on the surface of the water. The amount of the residue remaining will 

### be based on the efficiency of the burn and will resemble a taffy-like viscous material. The residue may be released to conventional containment boom for recovery or collected prior to initiation of additional buming. The bum residue can be picked up in a variety of methods induding: viscous oil skimmers; viscous oil sorbents; or by the use of hand tuC>s. The residue can be placed in drums or plastic bags for temporary storage and the residue would be treated as recovered oil.

HYDRO FIRE BOOM The hydro fire boom represents the lalest generation of fire-resistant barriers and has been specially designed and constructed to contain oil and Jimitthe spread of oil fires on water. The unique deSign and construction of this 

### fire boom provides continuous water cooling to the boom materials, allowing the boom fabric cover to maintain the ambient water temperature. This provides excellent resistance to Ihe effects of heat generated by the fire and makes the boom reusable by maintaining its integrity. The boom is reel-mounted and air-inflatable for compact storage and rapid deployment.
Each system consists of 500 ft 

### of hydro fire boom stored on a hydraulically-operated reel, diesel/hydraulic power packs. air blowers. water pumpslstrainerslhoses and tow bridles/towing lines. The reels and boom are stored in custom containers for protection from the elements. There are two systems. one mounted on the OSRV and the other mounted on the OSRB.

Helicopters can also access relativelylarge areas (typically 10 acres/min or more), maneuver well to hit the highest concentrations of oil, and make quickaltitude adjustments locating oil from 500 feet or more, and then dropping to a 50-ft altitude or less for spraying.Helicopter spray buckets will vary in size from approximately 150 to 300 gallons of dispersant. For example, a240-gallon bucket can spray with a swath width of 75 to 100 feet at speeds of typically 50 to 85 knots. Dependingupon the payload/range capabilities of the helicopter, such spray systems are somewhat restricted to waters thatare typically less than 20 n mi from shore or offshore staging.CAPACITIES FOR PLANNING With good visibility there is the potential for dispersant application 24 hours a day during periods of extendeddaylight in the summer months. Depending upon the distance from shore and the availability of backup dispersant supplies and groundsupport, a helicopter spray system could deliver well over a dozen sorties in a single day. If 200 gallons ofdispersant are sprayed during each of 12 sorties, the system could treat nearly 1,200 bbls of oil (assuming adispersant-to-oil ratio of 1:20). Each staging location may store at least 2,000 gallons of dispersant for each helo-bucket system to be servicedfor each day of operation.

Off-loading pump capacity should be considered when resources are allocated. The lengths of boom and corresponding swath width may be limited by the capacity of the boom-towing boats,ice conditions, and weather conditions. A shorter length of boom may be necessary to minimize the effects ofsea conditions, ice conditions, or potential boom failure conditions. The amount of oil recovered will be estimated by gauging prior to off-loading. Up to 80% of recovered free water may be pumped or decanted back into the boomed area, as necessary. The typical speed of advance may be up to 3 knots.CONSIDERATIONS & LIMITATIONS ;

@ Scaling of the tactic is primarily dependent on the size of skimming vessel. Onboard storage capacity is dependent upon the vessel. Interim storage may be augmented by the use of mini-barges. The number of mini-barges vary dependentupon a variety of factors including encounter rate, recovery rate, and the skimming vessels on boardstorage capacity. The 249-bbl mini-barges have a de-rated storage capacity at 95% of 237 bbl. Approval to decant is needed from the UC. ^

%&%(continued)DESCRIPTIONThe purpose of this tactic is to recover oil using deployed sorbent material in or along the shore and to reduceremobilization of oil. Materials used include: sorbent pads, rolls, oil snare boom and/or natural material such assphagnum or peat moss. The material to be used is chosen dependent upon the type of oil, the shoreline type,and environmental conditions at the site. Most commonly, this tactic is implemented using snare or sorbent boomanchored along shore or just offshore (intertidal zone) to collect oil as tidewaters release oil from sediment orshoreline. The snare or materials may be deployed prior to oiling to limit impact and recover oil so it cannot bere-mobilized. Lining the inside of containment boom with snare may also present an opportunity to remove oilwithin the booms.Sorbent and snare (often referred to as pom-poms) boom are made from synthetic materials that adsorb oil(oleophilic) and predominately repel water (hydrophobic). Naturally sorbent materials may be considered for usein marine mammal haulouts.SUPPORT Response teams would deploy boom in open water environments or on shore. The OSRB may provide staging, equipment, and waste storage.CAPACITIES FOR PLANNING+

		@ Best used in low energy environments as the boom or applied natural material may be washed away bystrong tidal currents or wave energy. Environmental constraints may be a concern for anadromous streams or marine mammal haulouts.Confer with resource agencies prior to use. Secure anchoring of snare boom in broken ice conditions is troublesome. If systems are closelymonitored then unanchored sorbent materials may be placed in leads and openings in the ice. Thematerials should be removed when saturated with oil or the ice leads close. The deployed sorbents must be monitored on a regular basis to replace material or sorbents as theybecome saturated and to ensure the security of the anchoring systems. All sorbents or materialsdeployed must be recovered and disposed of appropriately. The semi-diurnal tide range along the Chukchi Sea coastline is generally less than 3 feet.EQUIPMENT AND PERSONNELEQUIPMENTBASELOCATIONFUNCTION PIECES NO. OF STAFFMOBETIMEDEPLOYTIME-Commercially3"

Workers use hand tools such as shovels or trowels and heavy plastic bags to remove oil from theshoreline. The bagged oil or oiled sediment may be consolidated into supersacks for easy transport or disposal.Manual raking and tillingare alternative methods to treat oil in situ and are most effective on two types of oiling:very fresh and mobile oil; or residual oiling. Manual tilling or raking may be preferred when other types of treatmentare not possible or practical. This treatment method may be an option on shoreline substrate consisting of sand,gravel, and/or small cobble that may be agitated by hand.

Oiled driftwood and detritus from shoreline operations may be permitted for in situ burn. Oil sediment from beach cleanup operations may be bagged and transported for treatment or disposal atan appropriately permitted facility. Shoreside storage of oiled waste should be properly managed to limit and contain secondary spills, minimizecontact with precipitation and runoff, and protect uncontaminated areas. Oil and oily wastes containing regulated hazardous substances will be segregated, characterized, andmanaged appropriately. Oiled solid waste, such as PPE or sorbents, may be disposed of at a Shell approved disposal site orappropriately permitted incinerator.
