Time (hours) | Boom/Assessment | Minimum Oil Recovery Rate % of WCS volume per 24 hours | Minimum Storage Volume |
2 | A safety assessment of the spill by work boat with trained crew and appropriate air monitoring, with 1,000 feet of boom could have arrived | ||
3 | Additional 2,000 feet of boom, or 4 times the length of the largest vessel whichever is less, to be used for containment, protection or recovery could have arrived on scene | ||
6 | Additional 7,000 feet of boom with at least 3,000 feet of open water boom for containment, protection or recovery could have arrived | Capacity to recover the lesser of 3% of worst case spill volume or 12,500 barrels within 24-hour period could have arrived. At least 50% must be capable of working in open water environments | 1 times the EDRC |
12 | Additional 20,000 feet of boom appropriate for all potential areas of impact for containment, protection or recovery could have arrived | Capacity to recover the lesser of 10% of worst case spill volume or 36,000 barrels within 24-hour period could have arrived. At least 50% must be capable of working in open water environments | 1.5 times the EDRC |
24 | Additional 20,000 feet combination of appropriate types of boom for containment, protection or recovery could have arrived | Capacity to recover the lesser of 14% of worst case spill volume or 48,000 barrels within 24-hour period could have arrived | 2 times the EDRC |
48 | More boom as necessary for containment, recovery or protection | Capacity to recover the lesser of 25% of worst case spill volume or 60,000 barrels within 24-hour period could have arrived | More as necessary to not slow the response |
