It’s meant to aid the response community during the initial phase of an oil spill, from the time a spill occurs until a Unified Command is established. The plan prioritizes tactical response strategies based on locations where spills might occur, and the proximity and relative priority of those locations to sensitive natural, cultural, and economic resources. By using this document it’s hoped that immediate and proper action can be taken to reduce oil’s impact on sensitive resources. 5 MIDDLE COLUMBIA RIVER - THE DALLES POOL GRP AUGUST 2017 RECORD OF CHANGES Change Name of Person Date Number Summary of Changes Making Change June 1, 2002 MCR-GRP Comprehensive review and update of Chapter 4 N/A 002 May 1, 2004 MCR-GRP Comprehensive review and update of all N/A 003 chapters.
