Southeast Alaska SCP: GRS G-ii June 26, 2003 GEOGRAPHIC RESPONSE STRATEGIES: PART ONE – INTRODUCTION

Purpose and Scope

These Geographic Response Strategies (GRS) are designed to be a supplement to the Southeast Alaska Subarea Contingency 9 Plan for Oil and Hazardous Substances Spills and Releases, commonly referred to as the Southeast Alaska Subarea Contingency Plan (SCP). GRS provide unified (public, responders, and agencies) priorities and strategies for the protection of selected 8 sensitive areas to aid first responders to an oil spill. The GRS list the sensitive resources of an area and the response strategies, Yakutat equipment, personnel and logistical information necessary to protect the sensitive areas. Because the U.S. Coast Guard Marine * 6 Haines Safety Office, Environmental Protection Agency and the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation have already * approved them, the GRS serve as pre-approved strategies of the Unified Command during the emergency phase of an oil spill * response. 7 Implementation of these Geographic Response Strategies is the third phase of an oil spill response. The first and primary phase Juneau CANADA of the response is to contain and remove the oil at the scene of the spill or while it is still on the open water, thereby reducing or * eliminating impact on shorelines or sensitive habitats. If some of the spilled oil escapes this tactic, the second phase, which is * no less important, is to intercept, contain and remove the oil in the nearshore area. The intent of phase two is the same as phase * * 3 one: remove the spilled oil before it impacts sensitive environments. If phases one and two are not fully successful, phase three 5 4 is to protect sensitive areas in the path of the oil. The purpose of phase three is to protect the selected sensitive areas from the impacts of a spill or to minimize that impact to the maximum extent practical. Sitka The sites selected for development of Geographic Response Strategies are not meant to be exclusive; other sensitive sites may P Petersburg A * * require protection during any given spill. The fact that a GRS may not have been developed for a certain sensitive site does not C mean that site should not be protected if it is threatened by an oil spill. I * F Wrangell I C * These strategies are intended to be flexible to allow the spill responders to modify them, as necessary, to fit the prevailing O conditions at the time of a spill. Seasonal constraints, such as ice or weather, may preclude implementation of some of the C E 2 1 strategies in the winter months. It is not intended that all the sites be automatically protected at the beginning of a spill, only A N those that are in the projected path of the spill. The strategies developed for the selected sites were completed with a focus on Ketchikan minimizing environmental damage, utilizing as small a footprint as needed to support the response operations and selecting sites ** * for equipment deployment that will not cause more damage than the spilled oil. To test these GRS, each site may be visited and equipment deployed according to the strategy, to ensure that the strategy is the most effective in protecting the resources at risk * NOTE: Dashed lines are major sruise ship routes. at the site. Revisions will be made to the strategies, and this document, if changes are indicated by site visits, drills or actual use during spills. Figure G-1-1. Southeast Alaska Geographic Response Zones

The Southeast Alaska Subarea has been divided into nine geographic response zones (Figure G-1-1). The zones boundaries were chosen to reflect the geography and population centers in Southeast Alaska.

How to Use These Geographic Response Strategies

The information provided here supplements information provided in the Southeast Alaska SCP and the Alaska Federal/State Who to Contact for Input Preparedness Plan for Response to Oil & Hazardous Substances Discharge/Releases (commonly referred to as the Unified Plan). Information provided in either of those plans is not duplicated herein. This document is intended for use by response profession- Comments and recommendations on these GRS are welcomed. Please send your comments to either of the following agencies: als already familiar with spill response techniques. Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation Part 2 contains a general description of the protection/recovery tactics utilized throughout the GRS. Each general description Prevention and Emergency Response Program contains the strategy objective, deployment depictions, resource sets required to implement the strategy, and deployment 555 Cordova Street considerations and limitations. These general strategies may be adapted to produce a protection scheme for any site in Southeast Anchorage, AK 99501 Alaska. United States Coast Guard Part 3 contains site-specific response strategies. An index at the beginning of each sub-section shows the location of the selected Captain of the Port, Southeast Alaska sites. Each GRS consists of two parts: 1) a graphic showing a map, deployment diagram, picture and implementation notes; and 2760 Sherwood Lane, Suite 2A 2) a table giving the location description, response strategy, response resources, staging area, site access, natural resources being Juneau, AK 99801 protected and special considerations.

June 26, 2003 G-2-1 Southeast Alaska SCP: GRS, Part Two A. DEFLECTION BOOMING DF-L Slick

Objective & Strategy wind current The objective of deflection booming is to direct spilled oil away from one location to another or to simply change the course of the slick. The two alternatives for this technique are Fixed Deflection and Live Deflection.

In fixed deflection, boom is anchored to the shoreline or bottom. This technique consists of oil spill boom placed at an angle to the current and uses the movement of the current to assist in response operations. One basic deployment technique for fixed deflection is to secure/anchor one end of the boom up-current from the selected deflection site. Then place additional anchor systems to the boom to achieve the desired deflection angle with the least amount of entrainment or escapement. Boom arrays may have to be cascaded in short sections to prevent entrainment.

In live deflection, the boom is attached to vessels and held in position by the power of the vessels or one end of the boom is anchored and the other end held in position with a vessel. Live deflection is a very difficult tactic to execute. It should only be utilized where fixed deflection can not be achieved, usually because deep water precludes anchoring.

Deflection Boom (single boom): Boom is deployed from a site at an optimum angle to the current and anchored to deflect the oil away from a location.

Deflection Boom (cascade): Several booms are deployed in a cascade configuration when a single boom cannot be used because Figure G-2-2. Deflection booming, live. of fast current or because it is necessary to leave openings in the boom for vessel traffic, etc. This configuration can be used in strong currents where it may be impossible to effectively deploy one continuous section of boom. Shorter sections of boom used in a cascade deployment are easier to handle in faster water, thereby increasing efficiency. Additional equipment may be required to set and maintain this system as compared to the single boom configuration.

Resources for this module have been defined as an increment of 200 ft. of boom with associated support equipment. Quantity of units required will be determined by site, and resource sets may need to be refined as site specific requirements dictate. 90˚ 60˚ 45˚ 30˚

June 26, 2003 G-2-3 Southeast Alaska SCP: GRS, Part Two B. DIVERSION BOOMING Objective & Strategy

Diversion Booming – Closed Chevron The objective of diversion booming is to divert the spilled oil from one location or direction of travel to a specific site for DV recovery.

This technique consists of boom and anchor systems placed at an optimum angle to the current, using the movement of the current to assist in response operations. One basic deployment technique is to secure/anchor one end of the boom up-current Skimmer from the selected recovery site, then secure additional anchor systems to the boom to achieve the desired diversion with the least amount of entrainment or escapement.

Diversion Boom (single boom): Boom is deployed from one bank at an optimum angle to the current and secured/anchored to Current divert the oil to an eddy, quiet water, or collection beach for recovery. Anchor

Diversion Boom (cascade): Several booms are deployed in a cascade configuration when a single boom cannot be used because of fast current or because it is necessary to leave openings in the boom for vessel traffic, etc. This configuration can be used in strong currents where it may be impossible to effectively deploy one continuous section of boom. Shorter sections of boom used in a cascade deployment are easier to handle in faster water, thereby increasing efficiency of oil control. Additional equipment may be required to set and maintain this system as compared to the single boom configuration. Skimmer Deadman/Anchor

Chevron boom configurations may be used in fast water. Two booms are deployed from an anchor in the middle of the stream/ Chevron Currents < 0.7 kt. river and then attached to each bank. A closed chevron configuration is used to divide a slick for diversion to two or more recovery areas. An open chevron can be used where boat traffic must be able to pass. In the open chevron configuration the two booms are anchored separately midstream, with one anchor point up-stream or downstream of the other. An inverted chevron can Figure G-2-6. Diversion booming, closed chevron, on-shore skimming. also be used to funnel the oil slick to a marine recovery unit anchored mid-channel.

Resources for this module have been defined as an increment of 200 ft. of boom with associated support equipment. Quantity of units required will be determined by site and resource sets may need to be refined as site specific requirements dictate.

The objective of exclusion booming is to exclude any oil slick from entering a sensitive area. Splash Flaps

This technique requires the area to be completely boomed off, essentially forming a barrier to protect the location. Conventional containment boom, tidal-seal boom, or a combination of each can be used to exclude spilled oil from a sensitive area. Typically, Spilled Product Air Chamber Boom Chambers tidal-seal boom is deployed at the shoreline/water interface on both shores and is secured/anchored into position. Conventional containment boom is then connected to the tidal-seal boom and is secured with additional anchor systems to form a barrier and to maintain shape.

This technique is most efficient in low current areas. Freshwater outflow may assist in maintaining boom configuration and Water Ballast pushing oil away from the area inside the boom.

Resources for this module have been defined as an increment of 200 ft. of containment boom with at least 50 ft. of tidal-seal boom on each shoreward end along with associated support equipment. Quantity of units required will be determined by site, and resource sets may need to be refined as site specific requirements dictate. Water

Skimmers Screw Auger Numerous types of recovery systems (skimmers) are available to recover many types of oil. Recovery systems vary in size and Floating Suction Head support requirements. There is also a wide range of options for temporary oil storage. Access to the recovery site and the oil type may influence/dictate the options of equipment to be used. If access is restricted to four wheel ATVs, then the systems chosen need to be light enough to be transported by ATV and capable of being setup/deployed by a minimal number of personnel. If Shoreside Vacuum Truck Vortex access is not restricted, larger systems can be used and deployed by heavy lifting equipment. If the site is accessible by road, Recovery vacuum trucks may be used for oil recovery, storage and transport. In all cases, every effort should be made to protect the Equipment collection beach. See Figure G-2-13. Air Conveyor Options Self-leveling The general strategy is to: • Identify the primary recovery site and access capabilities. Drum Disc • Determine the appropriate recovery and storage systems based on oil, access, and deployment restrictions.

MARINE RECOVERY Marine Recovery Unit Equipment Options Objective & Strategy Oleophilic – Vertical Mop Recovery System MR The objective of the marine recovery unit is to recover spilled oil that has been diverted to a designated recovery site accessible only from the water.

Numerous types of recovery systems and temporary oil storage devices are available to recover a variety of oil types. Oil type, Shallow Water Deployment Platform local conditions and available vessels will influence or dictate the recovery system. Access to recovery sites is typically restricted to shallow draft vessels due to proximity of the shore and water depths at low tide. The water depth, including area of Vertical Mop System maneuverability, should be considered in selection of vessels and storage systems. The size of recovery and storage system devices varies and needs to be considered when matching with the deployment vessel. Capability of the vessel to lift and deploy the recovery devices and to handle the storage devices in shallow water and possible fast current should be considered. Recovery Boom Tag Line system efficiency varies depending on oil type and encounter rates. To minimize excess waste/water content of recovery fluids, Hydraulic Power oleophillic skimming systems and decanting procedures are recommended. Pack/Control Panel

The general strategy is to: • Identify the primary recovery site and assess the site conditions. • Determine the appropriate recovery and storage systems based on oil type, site conditions and deployment vessel capabilities. • Mobilize and deploy equipment to recover and store the oil from the designated recovery site.

Resources for this module have been defined as a recovery system, a storage device, a deployment vessel along with the associated support equipment and materials.

FREE-OIL RECOVERY General Configuration Objective & Strategy U-Boom Deployment Configuration The objective of the free-oil recovery is to maximize the containment and recovery of spilled oil on the water in the nearshore FO environment, thus minimizing impact to sensitive areas. Shallow-water Free-oil recovery strike teams are typically designed to address the fragmented rafts, windrows, slicks and sheens that have escaped the high volume containment and recovery efforts, or are in areas where the high volume containment and recovery systems are unable to operate.

Free-Oil strike teams are comprised of vessels with containment boom for oil containment and concentration, skimming systems for recovery, and primary storage devices for temporary storage before transfer to secondary storage. Tow Line There are typically three primary deployment configurations for Nearshore Free-Oil strike teams. •U - Boom System Boom •V - Boom System •J - Boom System Skimmer Vessel with skimmer The U-Boom System consists of vessels towing boom in a “U” configuration concentrating spilled oil into the back of the and storage pocket formed by the boom. This technique can also be used solely for oil concentration by leaving an opening secured by chain in the apex of the boom (see figure G-2-27). This is often referred to as a “gated U – Boom”. Typically, combinations of these configurations are used to enhance concentration and containment effectiveness. The spilled oil is then collected with a recovery device (skimmer), typically deployed by an additional vessel, and stored in a storage device. Vessel with storage The V-Boom System consists of vessels towing boom and a recovery device (skimmer) in a “V” configuration. The spilled oil is concentrated with the boom toward the back apex where a skimmer is located for oil recovery. Typically, these recovery systems Figure G-2-23. U-boom configuration. are designed with a limited amount of storage built in and are either offloaded frequently or are augmented with additional storage devices and transfer systems.

The J-Boom System consists of vessels towing boom in a “J” configuration, concentrating the spilled oil for recovery into the V-Boom Configuration FO back of the pocket formed by the boom. The rear towing vessel is outfitted with a recovery device (skimmer) for deployment along the vessel side where the apex of the boom is formed. The oil is then collected with the skimmer and stored in a primary Tow Vessel with containment storage device, such as a mini barge. This system is often utilized in place of the U-Boom system, when the response is limited boom by the amount of vessels available and when maneuverability is not as critical.

The general strategy is to: • Identify the trajectory and location of the spilled oil by performing overflight surveillance and vector evaluations. • Select a deployment configuration that best supports the site conditions and available resources. • Mobilize and deploy Free-Oil Recovery teams as determined by overflight information and response priority.

Resources for this module have been defined as vessels, boom, skimmers, primary storage devices, and personnel. Configura- tion type and quantity of strike teams required will be determined by site conditions, spilled oil type and volume, area of coverage, as well as resource availability. Resource sets may need to be refined as site specific requirements dictate. Combina- tions of free-oil recovery and diversion are often a consideration. Towed Recovery Device or Vessel

Objective & Strategy Passive Recovery PR Storm Berm The objective of the passive recovery and debris removal unit is to minimize the impact to designated shoreline by reducing the Anchor High Tide potential oil volume through passive recovery as well as by removing driftwood and other debris that spilled oil may contami- or Rebar nate.

Passive recovery is performed by placing sorbent materials at or near sensitive areas to collect oil and thus minimize impacts. 1 This is usually accomplished by anchoring rows of sorbent boom or snare line (oleophillic pom poms attached to a rope) Mid Tide between the high and low tide zones on the shoreline. Passive recovery for marine mammal haul-outs is accomplished by Tether broadcasting natural sorbent material, such as peat moss or sphagnum moss, on the haulout. Lines

Passive recovery can be deployed along selected shorelines prior to impact to reduce the quantity of oil that might otherwise adhere to the beach. This technique can also be applied to shoreline that has already been oiled to help keep the mobile oil from refloating and migrating to other non-impacted shorelines. In either case, the recovery must be monitored after each tide and recovery materials must be replaced as necessary.

The debris removal component of this tactic is to remove or re-locate excessive concentrations of driftwood and other debris from areas of the shoreline likely to be oiled. The impact area is typically defined as the low to mean high tide zone of the Snare Line Lowest shoreline. The debris removal tactic is normally considered to be an independent unit but, in this case, has been combined with Accessible the passive recovery unit to optimize resource utilization. Tide

Although this tactic can produce a significant solid waste stream requiring logistical support, it can be very effective due to the ability to rapidly deploy. Once deployed, the snare line needs to be monitored and periodically replaced to avoid diminished effectiveness due to saturation. Spilled Access to selected shoreline may be accomplished from the water using shallow water platforms such as landing craft, or from Product on-land, using ATV's or other four-wheel drive vehicles.

The general strategy is to: • Identify the trajectory of the spilled oil and select shoreline to be protected, as well as identify natural recovery sites Figure G-2-28. Aerial view of a passive recovery configuration. where debris may concentrate.

•Evaluate access restrictions and select appropriate marine deployment platforms or on-land vehicles. 3/16" - 3/8" Snare Boom rope core • Mobilize and deploy personnel with tools and materials to selected shorelines.

Resources for this module have been defined as personnel with tools and sorbent materials. Quantity of units required will be determined by site and resource sets may need to be refined as site-specific requirements dictate.

Cold water deluge is typically a protective counter measure with the objective of minimizing the impact to designated shoreline Deluge - Marine Access CWD areas. This is achieved by creating a flood of water that forms a hydraulic head in the beach substrate above the sea water level. The flood raises the normal water table, producing free flowing water down the beach surface which prevents the oil from adhering to the shoreline and penetrating the substrate. This strategy can also be used to enhance shoreside recovery. Storm Discharge Berm Hose Deluge is performed by placing perforated hose along the high tide area of the shoreline, connecting it to a high volume (typi- Perforated cally six inch) pump. Suction hose is connected to the pump from the source of water, and when started, the water is pumped Hose through the perforated hose to create a flood. This technique can be deployed along selected shoreline prior to impact to reduce Water Flow the quantity of oil that might otherwise adhere to the beach. This technique can also be applied to assist in treating shoreline that has already been impacted. One of the most common applications is deployment of this technique in unison with Diversion and Marine Recovery units where spilled oil is entrapped or intentionally grounded. Access to selected shoreline may be accom- Intake to plished from the water using shallow water platforms such as landing craft or, from on-land using ATVs or other four-wheel Landing Pumps drive vehicles. Craft The general strategy is to: Pumps • Identify the trajectory of the spilled oil and select shoreline to be protected, as well as identify natural recovery sites that may be intentionally used for entrapment. Figure G-2-30. Aerial view of a deluge configuration marine access. •Evaluate access restrictions and select appropriate marine deployment platform, or on-land vehicles. • Mobilize and deploy personnel and equipment to selected shoreline sites.

June 26, 2003 G-2-17 Southeast Alaska SCP: GRS, Part Two I. UNDERFLOW DAM, MARINE SPILL Underflow Dam General Configuration Objective & Strategy

The objective of the underflow dam is to temporarily block the mouth of a stream, slough, or inlet to prevent oil from entering during a flood tide. The underflow is used to allow outflowing fresh water to escape the dam or incoming unpolluted ocean water to enter the estuary. This is accomplished by building a dam using local earth and gravel. If the local material is porous or insufficient, sandbags and polyethylene liners (Visqueen) should be used on the face of the dam to stop leakage.

Underflow dams use inclined culverts to allow water moving downstream to escape while keeping the spill contained on the marine side of the dam. The capacity of the culvert(s) should exceed the stream flow rate. A less preferred alternative is to use pumps to remove water from the inside of the dam. Underflow culverts should be placed through the dam at an incline, with the lower end of the pipe on the marine side of the dam.

The general strategy is to: • Identify the trajectory of the spilled oil and only install a dam if the inlet is threatened. •Evaluate access restrictions and select appropriate marine deployment platforms or on-land vehicles. • Construct the dam with as little damage to the beach and storm-berm as possible. • Mobilize and deploy personnel with tools and materials to selected shorelines. • Remove the dam as soon as the site is no longer threatened by a spill.

SE01-09 B. SOUTHEAST ALASKA RESPONSE ZONE 2

Figure G-3-3 represents the Southeast Alaska response zone 2. No sites were selected for zone 2, the reason being that the sensitive areas identified were along exposed areas of the Gulf of Alaska where response equipment is not effective or dangerous to deploy. Figure G-3-4 shows the location of oil spill response equipment throughout zone 2.
