Course Overview:

This is an incident-specific plan to address management of oily wastewater and solid waste materials during the emergency phase of a marine or other oil spill response. Wastes generated during a spill response effort are collected, containerized, and managed by the Operations Section. The Environmental Unit in the Planning Section provides guidance on waste management and makes waste disposal decisions. The oil spill response team roster and ICS organization chart should be used to identify roles and responsibilities. The goal of the spill response effort is to remove oil from impacted areas as soon as possible and to treat, recycle, or dispose of recovered oily material in the most efficient and environmentally sound manner. This plan provides guidance on how to manage the waste generated during an oil spill response effort and forms to document actions taken. A final report or incident action plan (IAP) should be developed at the conclusion of response activities detailing what waste was generated, and how it was disposed of/and or treated. The information generated during the spill response effort should provide this information.
