PREVENTING OIL SPILLS

OUR GOAL IS TO NEVER HAVE AN OIL SPILL, AND THE INDUSTRY TAKES EXTENSIVE PRECAUTIONS TO PREVENT SPILLS FROM OCCURRING.

TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION

• WHY IS EFFECTIVE OIL SPILL PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE SO CRITICAL?

• WHAT MAKES THE OIL SPILL PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE FRAMEWORK EFFECTIVE?

• WHAT ARE THE COMPONENTS OF THE OIL SPILL PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE FRAMEWORK?

• HOW CAN WE SUPPORT OIL SPILL PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE EFFORTS?

PROTECTING OUR SHARED VALUES

SENSITIVE ECOSYSTEMS LOCAL BUSINESSES TOURISM/RECREATIONHEALTH AND SAFETY COMMUNITY INDUSTRIES

THROUGH A ROBUST OIL SPILL PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE FRAMEWORK, TOGETHER WE CAN ACHIEVE A MORE EFFECTIVE OIL

SPILL RESPONSE TO PROTECT OUR SHARED VALUES.

THE EFFICACY AND SPEED OF RESPONSE ARE ACCELERATED BY:• SHARING OBJECTIVE INFORMATION• PRE-APPROVING RESPONSE STRATEGIES• RAPID, NONPARTISAN DECISION-MAKING• MOBILIZING RESPONSE CAPABILITIES

COMBATING THE SPREAD OF SPILLED OIL

OUR COMMON ENEMY IS THE SPREAD OF SPILLED OIL AND ITS IMPACT ON OUR SHARED VALUES – PROTECTING THEM IS A RACE AGAINST TIME.

FOR SUCCESSFUL OIL SPILL RESPONSE, WE NEED PROACTIVE COOPERATION WITH GOVERNMENTS AND LOCAL COMMUNITIES, WHICH

CONSISTS OF:

• OPEN LINES OF COMMUNICATION• TRANSPARENT DECISION-MAKING• CLEAR POLICIES REGARDING

RESPONSE TECHNIQUES• REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS OF THE

RESPONSE

COOPERATING FOR EFFECTIVE RESPONSE

OUR FRAMEWORK IS MADE UP OF PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE PROCESSES, WITH ITS FOUNDATION COMPRISED OF INDUSTRY GUIDING

PRINCIPLES, STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT, AND INCIDENT MANAGEMENT.

STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT WITH GOVERNMENTS, COMMUNITIES, AND INDUSTRY

STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT

STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT WITH GOVERNMENTS AND COMMUNITIES IS ESSENTIAL BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER A SPILL, AND INCLUDES:

• THREE-WAY COMMUNICATION BETWEEN INDUSTRY, GOVERNMENT, AND THE COMMUNITY

• UNDERSTANDING OF STAKEHOLDER PRIORITIES

• A SHARED VIEW OF THE SITUATION• TRANSPARENCY OF DECISION-MAKING• COLLABORATION WITHIN AN INCIDENT

MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

INCIDENT MANAGEMENT

AN INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ORGANIZES THE RESPONSE COMMUNITY TO WORK TOGETHER, MAKE DECISIONS, AND RESPOND

RAPIDLY AND EFFECTIVELY.AN INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM PROVIDES:• ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE• DEFINED ROLES AND

RESPONSIBILITIES• CLEAR DECISION-MAKING AND

RESPONSE PROCESSES• COMMUNICATION BETWEEN

RESPONDERS AND IMPACTED COMMUNITIES

• COMMON UNDERSTANDING AND SITUATIONAL AWARENESS

• IMPLEMENTATION OF RESPONSE

IDENTIFY POTENTIAL EVENTS

PREPAREDNESS: IDENTIFY POTENTIAL EVENTS

RESPONDERS IDENTIFY POTENTIAL EVENTS AND THEIR LIKELIHOOD FOR THE SPECIFIC SITE, UP TO AND INCLUDING THE CREDIBLE WORST CASE.

IDENTIFY POTENTIAL EVENTS:THROUGH THE IDENTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL EVENTS, RESPONDERS MAY IDENTIFY AND IMPLEMENT FURTHER PREVENTION MEASURES THAT WILL REDUCE THE CHANCE OF SPILLS.

IMPROVE PREVENTION:

RESPONDERS DEFINE POTENTIAL OIL SPILL RISKS.

PLAN SCENARIOS

PREPAREDNESS: PLAN SCENARIOS

RESPONDERS SELECT THE EVENTS THAT ENCOMPASS THE FULL RANGE OF IMPACT AND RESPONSE CHALLENGES FOR THE SPECIFIC SITE IN ORDER TO DEVELOP PLANNING SCENARIOS.

PLANNING SCENARIOS:EACH PLANNING SCENARIO INCLUDES: • EVENT• OIL TYPE AND VOLUME• SPILL PROFILE• PREDICTED BEHAVIOR OF SPILL AND FATE OF OIL• IMPACTED ENVIRONMENTS AND COMMUNITIES

SCENARIO CHARACTERISTICS:

USING THE IDENTIFIED EVENTS, RESPONDERS DEFINE APPROPRIATE SPILL PLANNING SCENARIOS.

DEVELOP RESPONSE STRATEGIES

PREPAREDNESS: DEVELOP RESPONSE STRATEGIES

RESPONSE STRATEGIES ARE DEVELOPED FOR EACH PLANNING SCENARIO AND INCORPORATE STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT. RESPONSE STRATEGIES ADDRESS THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:• WHAT TECHNIQUES ARE NEEDED?• HOW MUCH OF EACH TECHNIQUE IS NEEDED?• WHAT IS THE RESPONSE TIMEFRAME?• HOW WILL THE RESPONSE ADAPT OVER TIME?

RESPONSE STRATEGY:

THE RESPONSE STRATEGIES ARE UNDERPINNED BY NEBA, WHICH IS CONDUCTED DURING THE PREPAREDNESS PROCESS TO IDENTIFY THE BEST CHOICES THAT MINIMIZE IMPACTS OF OIL SPILLS ON PEOPLE AND THE ENVIRONMENT. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS OF THE RESPONSE STRATEGIES INCLUDE APPLICABLE REGULATIONS AND THE EFFECTIVENESS AND FEASIBILITY OF INVOLVED TECHNIQUES.

NET ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFIT ANALYSIS (NEBA):

RESPONDERS DEVELOP RESPONSE STRATEGIES BASED ON THE PLANNING SCENARIOS.

PREPAREDNESS: PROVISION RESOURCES

RESPONDERS USE THE PRINCIPLES OF TIERED PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE TO CATEGORIZE AND STRUCTURE LEVELS OF OIL SPILL RESPONSE CAPABILITIES TO ALLOW FOR RESPONSE ESCALATION.

RESOURCES ARE PROVISIONED, ACCORDING TO THE RESPONSE PLAN, AT VARYING LEVELS BASED ON SPILL SCENARIO REQUIREMENTS AND HOW QUICKLY RESOURCES WILL BE NEEDED AND CAN BE ACCESSED. THESE PRINCIPLES ENABLE RESPONDERS TO PLAN FOR APPROPRIATE REGIONAL AND GLOBAL RESOURCES TO BE MOBILIZED RAPIDLY AND CASCADED FOR AN EFFECTIVE RESPONSE TO A SPILL OF ANY MAGNITUDE.

TIERED PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE:INDUSTRY MEMBERS PROVISION THE FOLLOWING RESPONSE RESOURCES DURING THE PREPAREDNESS PROCESS:• RESPONDERS• GENERAL EQUIPMENT• SPECIALIZED TOOLS AND SERVICES• SUBJECT MATTER EXPERTISE

INDUSTRY RESOURCES:

INDUSTRY MEMBERS MAY ENTER INTO MUTUAL AID OR COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS WITH OTHER LOCAL MEMBERS TO BOLSTER THEIR OWN CAPABILITIES THROUGH THE SHARING OF INDUSTRY RESOURCES.

MUTUAL AID AND COOPERATION:

INDUSTRY MEMBERS PROVISION RESOURCES APPROPRIATE TO THE PRE-PLANNED RESPONSE STRATEGIES USING THE PRINCIPLES OF TIERED PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE.

PROVISION RESOURCES

TRAINING AND EXERCISES

PREPAREDNESS: TRAINING AND EXERCISES

STAFF ARE TRAINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THEIR RESPONSE PLAN AND IN THEIR DESIGNATED ROLES FOR SPILL RESPONSE ACTIVITIES.

TRAINING: TYPICAL TRAINING AND EXERCISE PARTICIPANTS INCLUDE:• SPILL MANAGEMENT TEAM• FIELD RESPONDERS• REGULATORS• STAKEHOLDERS

PARTICIPANTS:

EXERCISES ENABLE PARTICIPANTS TO WORK TOGETHER IN CONDUCTING SIMULATED RESPONSES TO HYPOTHETICAL INCIDENTS IN ORDER TO DEMONSTRATE PROFICIENCY AND VALIDITY OF RESPONSE PLANS.

TYPES OF EXERCISES INCLUDE:• DISCUSSION-BASED (TABLE TOP) EXERCISES• NOTIFICATION AND COMMUNICATION TESTS• EQUIPMENT DEPLOYMENT • FULL SCALE EXERCISES

EXERCISES: TRAINING AND EXERCISES OCCUR THROUGHOUT THE PREPAREDNESS PROCESS.

CONTINUAL PROCESS:

INDUSTRY MEMBERS PARTICIPATE IN AND LEAD TRAINING AND EXERCISE ACTIVITIES, ENSURING RESPONSE STAFF ARE PREPARED FOR A VARIETY OF SPILL SCENARIOS.

PREPAREDNESS: SUMMARY

OUR PREPAREDNESS PROCESS ALLOWS INDUSTRY TO PLAN FOR LOCATION-SPECIFIC POTENTIAL SCENARIOS, ENABLING A RAPID AND EFFECTIVE

RESPONSE IN THE EVENT OF AN INCIDENT.

INITIAL DEPLOYMENT

RESPONSE: INITIAL DEPLOYMENT

FOLLOWING A SPILL, LOCAL RESOURCES ARE IMMEDIATELY DEPLOYED TO MITIGATE INITIAL IMPACTS, REDUCE THE SPREAD OF OIL, AND PROTECT THE SAFETY OF PEOPLE.

INITIAL DEPLOYMENT: APPROPRIATE STAKEHOLDERS, SUCH AS GOVERNMENT REGULATORS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS, RECEIVE ALERTS AND NOTIFICATIONS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING A SPILL, INITIATING THEIR ENGAGEMENT WITH THE SPECIFIC INCIDENT.

ALERTS AND NOTIFICATIONS:

RESPONDERS ASSESS THE INCIDENT SCALE AND IMPACT POTENTIAL IN PARALLEL WITH THE INITIAL DEPLOYMENT.

INITIAL ASSESSMENT AND CLASSIFICATION: IN MANY RESPONSES, THERE IS A CRITICAL

“WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY”, AFTER WHICH THE OIL SPREADS TO VERY MINISCULE THICKNESSES THAT MAY COMPROMISE RESPONSE EFFECTIVENESS. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE AND, THEREFORE, PRE-APPROVAL OF RESPONSE STRATEGIES IS ESSENTIAL.

IMPORTANCE OF TIME:

WHEN A SPILL OCCURS, RESPONDERS IMMEDIATELY DEPLOY LOCAL RESOURCES AND ASSESS THE INCIDENT POTENTIAL.

CONFIRM RESPONSE STRATEGY

RESPONSE: CONFIRM RESPONSE STRATEGY

RESPONDERS MATCH THE ACTUAL SPILL TO THE CLOSEST PLANNING SCENARIO.

MATCH TO SCENARIOS:

THE CHOICES MADE DURING THE PREPAREDNESS PROCESS, BASED ON NEBA, ARE VALIDATED ONCE A SPILL HAS OCCURRED. THESE CHOICES CONFIRM THE SELECTION OF THE BEST AVAILABLE RESPONSE OPTIONS THAT MINIMIZE IMPACTS OF THE OIL SPILL ON PEOPLE AND THE ENVIRONMENT.

NET ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFIT ANALYSIS (NEBA):

AFTER MATCHING THE SPILL, RESPONDERS CONFIRM APPLICABILITY OF THE CORRESPONDING PRE-PLANNED RESPONSE STRATEGY AND INITIATE ITS IMPLEMENTATION. THIS ENSURES UTILIZATION OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE RESPONSE TECHNIQUES FROM THE OUTSET.

CONFIRM RESPONSE STRATEGY: THE PRE-PLANNED RESPONSE STRATEGY IS ADAPTED ONLY BY EXCEPTION, TAKING INTO ACCOUNT ANY UNFORESEEN FACTORS AND THE EVOLUTION OF THE SPILL.

ADAPT BY EXCEPTION:

FOLLOWING THE INITIAL DEPLOYMENT, THE ACTUAL SPILL IS MATCHED TO THE PLANNING SCENARIOS AND THE ACCOMPANYING RESPONSE STRATEGY IS CONFIRMED.

ORGANIZE RESPONSE

RESPONSE: ORGANIZE RESPONSE

ORGANIZING THE RESPONSE ENTAILS PROCURING THE APPROPRIATE RESOURCES, INCLUDING THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN APPROPRIATELY SIZED SPILL MANAGEMENT TEAM, THAT ALLOW FOR PRUDENT OVERREACTION TO THE INCIDENT COMMENSURATE WITH RISKS AND REQUIREMENTS. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE, HOWEVER, THAT UNNECESSARY RESPONSE MEASURES CAN FURTHER DAMAGE THE ENVIRONMENT.

ORGANIZE RESPONSE:

• MAINTAIN CLEAR INCIDENT RESPONSE OBJECTIVES AND TACTICAL ACTIONS

• ADOPT A DAILY INCIDENT MANAGEMENT ROUTINE AND PROCESS

• MONITOR DEPLOYED RESOURCES TO ENSURE THEIR APPLICABILITY AND EFFECTIVENESS

• FOSTER COLLABORATIVE AND OPEN WORKING RELATIONSHIPS AMONG STAKEHOLDERS

KEYS TO SUCCESSFUL INCIDENT MANAGEMENT:

INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS DEFINE AND STANDARDIZE ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES, COMMUNICATION LINES, MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES, PROCESSES, AND TERMINOLOGY ACROSS GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS AND INDUSTRY, ENABLING TIMELY STAND-UP AND EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT OF RESPONSE OPERATIONS IN THE EVENT OF A SPILL.

INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM:

THE RESPONSE IS ORGANIZED TO ALLOW FOR PRUDENT OVERREACTION AND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF AN INCIDENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM.

CASCADE RESOURCES

RESPONSE: CASCADE RESOURCES

EACH BAR REPRESENTS A SPECIFIC RESPONSE CAPABILITY FOR A FACILITY OR REGION AND THE COLORED BARS REPRESENT THE APPROPRIATE CAPABILITIES FOR A SPECIFIC SPILL.

RESOURCES ARE DEPLOYED IN A CASCADING MANNER TO THE INCIDENT LOCATION, PER THE PREDETERMINED RESPONSE STRATEGY. THE CASCADING PROCESS INVOLVES RESOURCES MOBILIZING TO THE INCIDENT LOCATION AS THE SPILL EVOLVES AND RESPONDERS BETTER UNDERSTAND WHAT EQUIPMENT AND SERVICES ARE REQUIRED.

CASCADING RESOURCES: RESOURCES DEPLOYED TO THE INCIDENT LOCATION MAY INCLUDE LOCAL RESOURCES, MUTUAL AID, OIL SPILL RESPONSE ORGANIZATIONS, AND STATE AUTHORITIES.

RESOURCE TYPES:

APPROPRIATE RESPONSE RESOURCES ARE DEPLOYED TO THE INCIDENT LOCATION.

ADJUST FOR REALITIES

RESPONSE: ADJUST FOR REALITIES

BECAUSE A RESPONDER CANNOT PREDICT ALL CONDITIONS RELATED TO A PLANNING SCENARIO, THE RESPONSE IS ADJUSTED TO REFLECT REALITIES OF THE SITUATION, INCLUDING:• ACTUAL VS. FORECASTED OPERATING

CONDITIONS• EXTERNAL RESTRICTIONS TO RESPONSE• SAFETY AND SECURITY• STAKEHOLDER REACTIONS• UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS

VARIANCE FROM THE PLAN:

DURING THE RESPONSE, THE NEBA PROCESS IS USED TO REGULARLY RE-EVALUATE THE RESPONSE STRATEGY, TAKING THE REALITIES OF THE SITUATION INTO ACCOUNT. FOLLOWING RE-EVALUATION, THE EFFECTIVENESS AND FEASIBILITY OF RESPONSE OPTIONS ARE CONFIRMED AND THE BEST AVAILABLE RESPONSE OPTION THAT MINIMIZES THE IMPACT OF THE SPILL ON PEOPLE AND THE ENVIRONMENT IS IMPLEMENTED.

NET ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFIT ANALYSIS (NEBA):

DURING A RESPONSE, STRATEGY EFFECTIVENESS – AS WELL AS INCIDENT CONDITIONS AND CIRCUMSTANCES – MUST BE EVALUATED AND ANALYZED IN ORDER TO SUCCESSFULLY ADAPT THE RESPONSE APPROACH.

ONGOING RESPONSE

RESPONSE: ONGOING RESPONSE

THE ONGOING RESPONSE WILL BE CONTINUALLY ADAPTED UNTIL A DETERMINED ENDPOINT HAS BEEN REACHED IN AGREEMENT WITH STAKEHOLDERS. THIS ENDPOINT IS DETERMINED BY:• NEBA CRITERIA• WHETHER FURTHER RESPONSE IS

ENVIRONMENTALLY DETRIMENTAL OR BECOMES INCREASINGLY INEFFECTIVE

• ADDRESSING COMMUNITY NEEDS

ONGOING RESPONSE: • WITH HUMAN HEALTH AND SAFETY AS OUR FIRST

PRIORITY, A RESPONSE MAY NOT BE SAFE OR POSSIBLE IN ALL LOCATIONS.

• NOT ALL OIL CAN BE RECOVERED AND SOMETIMES CLEANUP EFFORTS CAN CAUSE MORE HARM THAN GOOD.

• MONITORING NATURAL PROCESSES AND TRANSITIONING TO RESTORATION MEASURES CAN, AT TIMES, BE THE BEST OPTION.

REALITIES OF A RESPONSE:

UPON COMPLETION OF THE RESPONSE EFFORT, RESTORATION ACTIVITIES MAY COMMENCE, INCLUDING:• ENVIRONMENTAL AND COMMUNITY

RESTORATION • CONDUCTING LONG-TERM STUDIES AND

PROJECTS• CONTINUED DIALOGUE BETWEEN INDUSTRY AND

AUTHORITIES

TRANSITION TO RESTORATION:

THE ONGOING RESPONSE REPRESENTS THE CONTINUED RESPONSE EFFORT AND TRANSITION TO RESTORATION.

RESPONSE: SUMMARY

OUR RESPONSE PROCESS ALLOWS US TO RESPOND RAPIDLY AND EFFECTIVELY TO AN INCIDENT WHILE CONTINUALLY EVALUATING AND

MODIFYING THE RESPONSE IN ORDER TO ADDRESS CHANGING CONDITIONS, UNTIL AN AGREED-UPON ENDPOINT IS REACHED.
