9711 Fast Water Containment
In the U.S, seventy percent of oil cargo is transported through waters were the current exceeds one knot under these
conditions it is essential to improve the ability and efficiency of spill recovery operations.
Over the past few years the U.S. Coast Guard Research and development Center has conducted a great deal of work
to improve fast water containment and recovery capabilities in all USCG area of operations.
The Oil Spill Response in Fast Current—Field Guide and Decision Tool, provides information to field oil spill
response units on deployment strategies and techniques that will maximize the effective ness of conventional oil spill
recovery systems. Identifies new-generation booms and skimmers with higher efficiencies in fast currents to increase
recovery capability in areas where conventional systems do not work well. Details are given for the decisions that
need to be made and the types of equipment needed to safely deploy these systems. See the link below:

9730 Regional Response Team 4 Plans
There are thirteen Regional Response Teams (RRTs) in the U.S., each representing a particular geographic region
(including the Caribbean and the Pacific Basin). RRTs are composed of representatives from field offices of the
federal agencies that make up the National Response Team, as well as state representatives.
RRTs provide a forum for federal agency field offices and state agencies to exchange information about their
abilities to respond to on-scene coordinators' (OSCs') requests for assistance. As with the NRT, RRT members do
not respond directly to releases or spills, but may be called upon to provide technical advice, equipment, or
manpower to assist with a response. Each RRT develops a Regional Contingency Plan to ensure that the roles of
federal and state agencies during an actual incident are clear.
