  • Tribal Engagement and the Region 10 Regional Response Team and Northwest Area Committee
    Tribal Engagement and the Region 10 Regional Response Team and Northwest Area Committee Mission The mission of the Region 10 Regional Response Team (RRT) and the Northwest Area Committee (NWAC) is to protect public health and safety and the environment during oil and hazardous materials incidents within the Pacific Northwest as mandated by the National Contingency Plan (NCP). We are also committed to developing response plans and coordinating preparedness activities prior to a pollution incident with our tribal partners. The National Contingency Plan The National Contingency Plan (NCP) is the federal regulation that dictates how the federal government, tribes and states will work together respond to significant oil and hazardous materials incidents. There are two interagency coordinating groups in the NW that are established through the NCP: the NW Area Committee and the Regional Response Team 10. Both groups cover OR, WA and ID, meet regularly, and share a steering committee. • The NW Area Committee (NWAC) is responsible for maintaining the NW Area Contingency Plan, which is our regional blueprint for how federal, tribal and state governments will respond to spills in a coordinated and effective manner. The NW Area Committee is open to anyone with an interest in spill response. This includes all government agencies, industry, response contractors, resource trustees, environmental advocates and private citizens. • Regional Response Team 10 (RRT10) has a more limited membership as defined by regulation, and is activated during a response to provide resources and assist with some response decisions. RRT10’s current members include the 15 federal agencies with authorities or resources for spill response, a representative from each state, and the Makah and Yakama Tribes.

It explains how decisions are made, the legal requirements for decisions, and how you can participate. It’s a booklet for people who care about and want to help share the future of Oregon’s coast. Important Note: This booklet is only a summary of Oregon’s coastal laws and regulations. It is not an exact statement of planning or regulatory requirements. For precise information about a particular law or program, please contact the appropriate local, state and federal agencies listed in the back of this booklet.
