  • 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.

    120 W. Main Street, Norfolk. VA 23510 • Phone (757) 441-2345 • www.festevents.org Media Advisory Media Contact:Jason Nichols For Immediate Release P: 757.441.2345 July 19, 2016 E: [email protected] AMERICA’S USCG CUTTER EAGLE TALL SHIP MAKES RETURN VISIT TO NORFOLK Norfolk, VA – Norfolk Festevents announces the return of the USCG Cutter Eagle Tall Ship. On Friday, July 22, 2016, the only active commissioned sailing vessel “USCG Cutter Eagle” is scheduled to arrive at approximately 11:00am in Downtown Norfolk, docking at Otter Berth next to the future Waterside District. The ship will depart at approximately 10:00am on Monday, July 25, 2016. Arrival and departure times are approximate and are subject to change due inclement weather. Built in Germany in 1936 and taken as reparation by the United States at the close of World War II, the Eagle is the largest tall ship flying the Stars and Stripes. The majestic sailing ship, the Coast Guard Cutter EAGLE provides the U.S. Coast Guard Academy cadets and officer candidates with their first taste of sea and salt air. The Eagle's homeport of New London, Conn., on the Thames River neighbors the U. S. Coast Guard Academy. The Eagle's location and design supports its primary mission of training cadets and officer candidates, offering a strong foundation of seamanship and knowledge to up to 150 cadets or officer candidates at a time. Aboard America’s Tall Ship, trainees are exposed to the real world workings of America’s only active duty square-rigger, as they fulfill duties normally executed by junior officers or junior enlisted persons.
