Time (hours) | Boom/Assessment | Minimum Oil Recovery Rate % of WCS volume per 24 hours | Minimum Storage in Barrels |
6 | A safety assessment of the spill by trained crew and appropriate air monitoring could have arrived 5,000 feet of boom available for containment, recovery or protection could have arrived Alternatively, resources identified to deploy a site specific strategy to keep oil from entering surface waters or penetrating into the ground could have arrived | Capacity to recover the lesser of 10% of worst case spill volume or 4,100 barrels within 24-hour period could have arrived | 1 times the effective daily recovery capacity (EDRC) appropriate to operating environment |
12 | Additional 20,000 feet of boom to be used for containment, protection or recovery could have arrived | Capacity to recover the lesser of 15% of worst case spill volume or 12,000 barrels within 24-hour period could have arrived | 1.5 times the EDRC appropriate to operating environment |
24 | More boom as necessary for containment, recovery or protection | Capacity to recover the lesser of 20% of worst case spill volume or 16,000 barrels within 24-hour period could have arrived | 2 times the EDRC appropriate to operating environment |
48 | More boom as necessary for containment, recovery or protection | Capacity to recover the lesser of 25% of worst case spill volume or 20,000 barrels within 24-hour period could have arrived | More as necessary to not slow the response |
