Editorial Review Product Description The very large spill size, the remote location,and the character of the oil all tested spillpreparedness and response capabilities. Governmentand industry plans, individually and collectively,proved to be wholly insufficient to control an oilspill of the magnitude of the Exxon Valdezincident. Initial industry efforts to get equipmenton scene were unreasonably slow, and oncedeployed the equipment could not cope with thespill. Moreover, the various contingency plans didnot refer to each other or establish a workableresponse command hierarchy. This resulted inconfusion and delayed the cleanup. Prepared by the National Response Team, thisreport was requested by the President andundertaken by Secretary of Transportation SamuelK. Skinner and Environmental Protection AgencyAdministrator William K. Reilly. The reportaddresses the preparedness for, the response to, andearly lessons learned from the Exxon Valdezincident. The President has also asked SecretarySkinner to coordinate the efforts of all federalagencies involved in the cleanup and AdministratorReilly to coordinate the long-term recovery of theaffected areas of the Alaskan environment. Theseefforts are ongoing. The reportaddresses a number of important environmental,energy, economic, and health implications of theincident. |

Editorial Review Product Description International experts in the field of oil spill response, including reprsentatives from 26 NATO countries, participated in a workshop in Canada to discuss their experience in the development and application of current and emerging technologies for oil spill response in the marine environment. These presentations which form the basis of chapters in this book provide a practical viewpoint of methods used to deal with oil spills under the variety of environmental conditions found in the marine environment. In particular, focus is given to the evaluation of oil spill countermeasures for use under arctic conditions in light of anticipated regional increases in marine traffic (e.g. Northwest Passage) and industrial activities (e.g. offshore oil and gas exploration) in the future. This book provides a timely international perspective on applied research and development, technology transfer, and “lessons learned” from field trials and actual case studies associated with recent spill events. Topics include Preparedness/Contingency Planning, (Eco-terrorism); Oil Spill Fate and Transport (Environmental Persistence, Remote Sensing, modelling, Biodegradation), Biological Effects (Environmental Effects Monitoring and Environmental Risk Assessment); and Operational Response (Containment/Recovery Treating Agents, Shoreline Cleanup, In-situ Burning, Emerging Response Strategies). This book provides a synopsis as to the methods currently employed to deals with spills and an insight on future technologies under development. |
