I simply believe that in human terms our health is most important. This coastline
prides itself on the pristine condition. {probe} And I think it should stay this way.

10002 a-1f I think taxes are necessary.
10002 a-2c Most important.
10002 a-2f I think prison s/b treated as rehab not zoos.
10002 pg7
I disagree. The entire eco-system is affected. I feel the totals numbers are not
correct. They're vagueness is caused by the impossibilities that arise when trying to
count non-grounded species.
10002 a-10a Basically I would like to know how liable the polluting companies are for their
actions. I feel it s/b 100%.
10002 a-12a Is the excess of more ships in water going to cause more problems i.e. garage
dumping, the burning of fossil fuel - general stress to the environment this doing
more harm than good.
10002 pg13 I'm for it although this sounds like a cynical survey. Replace the word birds with
human beings and the question would never have been asked which shows how over
saturated California is in christian thinking (i.e., animals have no souls, therefore we
can [vie] them all up.
10002 b-2
It would take action against a corporate system that tends towards token regard for
the environment forcing them to act responsibly.
10002 c-1
It's very complicated to think of the oil spill as just an oil spill, because one could be
larger and more damaging than an other.
10003
10003 pg10 Don't you think a lot of this has to do with carelessness?
10003 a-12 Sounds good if everyone would stay sober.

on it. She said she was listed but no listing.

with everything I said, but could not remember new phone number when asked.

Stopping the oil spills, stopping the killing of the birds, animals and the plants along
the coast, that it kills.

I've heard of them.
Common sense for 5.00 is [illegible]. But what happens down the road.
The oil companies should be accountable.
The fine [illegible] cost wouldn't be to much, but I really feel that the oil companies
should foot the bill. {probe} The program sounds alright and would help nature and
the animals.
You said one time! I wondered!
If I was convinced it was 100% true just $5.00!
The respondent wasn't sure that it would only be for one year.
pg7
They have no choice.
a-10a So the saltwater plants recover in 10 years - even if the marsh is badly damaged.
{probe} Are they going to increase shipping in the next 10 yrs or are they going to
decrease ships going through area? {probe} Are there any new inventions on the
horizon that would disperse the oil or contain it?
a-12a The costs. I guess. How effective is it if weather is stormy or would it work
effectively? {probe} I think it's a good idea.
b-2
Well, it would do exactly as it says - Protect birds and wild animals from death and
protect the marsh & keep the beaches clean. {probe} I suspect they can probably put
the building to use for other purposes rather than [illegible] them go to waste whether it's counting whales going by or some group could find a use for them.

{probe} I haven't given it a thought. We're new to Calif. and not too familiar with

letter yet.
I don't think it's worth it. {probe} Your questions are too biased. {probe} They don't
tell the benefits. {probe} Just not worth the money.
{probe} Who knows?
e-10
(OS) If that much money has to be enburdened [sic] on the oil companies then the
cost would have to come back to everyone who uses oil and every body uses oil!

How do they know there aren't going to be enough spills to cause extinction?
It would make the oil companies more responsible. {probe} It would protect the
wildlife and the beaches from further damage.

It would help prevent short term for potentially long term harm to the environment.
{probe} Harm from spilled oil.
(OS) The $25 could go to something else - some other environmental program would
be better - not this.
(OS) There's no need for escort ships to be there. There's no danger of hitting things
40 or 50 miles out. Only entering harbor do you need escorts.
It's just for clean up not for prevention - it's just going to work for clean up.
I wouldn't vote for it if it were free! You could have center for 1 response only 1/2
the cost. You only need one.
This 'R was an old Navy seaman. He's traveled in lots of ships.
There are 2 response centers in Everett Washington. I was involved in the
prevention center program there so I know how it works.
The wildlife saved is 1% of the total wildlife. Oil companies should be totally
responsible for the cost.
California is funny - once they get a tax on the board they don't like to get rid of it!
{Phone call interruption}
Geologist says program would work but doesn't want to be taxed for it.
Number one beside the animals and humans. I myself like to go to the beach.
{probe} It would clean up all the oil and if for $5 prevent the death of animals and
deep our water's clean I'm all for it.
Almost has bachelor's, 2 classes!
What would we be doing?
Good idea.
Besides the double hull can't they partition off different parts?
That's essentially the technology we have now. Vacuum it up fast. Aren't we going
to run out of oil in 20 years.
Especially because it has a "sunset".
Well I think a lot more than the death of birds more concerned about a permanent
scar on landscape that I feel is caused by oil spills.
I don't think you can say that. If you lived there would be mad as dickens
flydrocarbon smell harmful I'm sure.
I thought you emphasized one year.
Program is designed to use tax to start & fee to pay which would mean higher prices
so this is a great way to do it, a jump start.
R was very upset - son (older adult) had disappeared with his car for over 24 hr. He
said come in. I told him he needed a distraction. The son arrived back with his
during interview and R was visibly relieved. His son had recently had a heart attack.
The son does not live with R.
A continuous tax probably.
R was reluctant to do int. May be he called 800 number? Was not talkative at all.
Just gave me answers fast.

program proved in past and how are they gauging success? How well did it work in
Washington State? How many hulls do escort ship have?
10020 b-2
Every household is paying very small amount over next 10 years it would be a good
habit to start. {probe} In 30 years if still doing it won't have to send researchers out.
{probe} People would get used to it - cheap, would pay for itself. $5 is cheap.
Program idea would start a good habit. Making prevention a normal part of life.
10020 c-2
These aren't a big number. Numbers might go up in 20 years as more oil is needed.
10020 e-10 Very good comments.
10022
10022 a-1a I'm an educator! So let's change that!
10022 a-10 No - you were through.
10022 pg10 Why did they give them 10 yrs? to do the double hulls? 10 yrs. is ridiculous.
10022 a-12 That sounds ideal!
10022 a-12a What would the cost be?
10022 b-2
It would protect that wildlife.
10022 c-3

10022 e-10 R is a senior citizen & a retired educator. He had called the 800 number to refuse
while we were in the study training. However, I called at the DU unaware of this &
his wife became very cordial. She made the AP for the R & he did the IW when I
returned.
10023

It would stop the oil spills. It will stop harm to the shoreline. {probe} What will
happen to the ships in 10 yrs? {probe} What about the employees in 10 yrs? What
will they do? {probe} No. {At first "probe", R looked as if he wanted to make
another statements so I asked him if he did have any more to say & he kept talking. I
asked until he said "no" as his statements were important to him.}
10023 e-10 R was not very talkative but interested in the iw. He was quick to catch on &
understood the narrative very well. His mothers sat at a nearby table reading a
newspaper but made no comments.

10026 b-2
Well I have 2 grandkids - I would love them to see the birds, who knows how ling it
will take for those birds to come back. {probe} It's not that much to pay - the
younger generation should have something to enjoy. Sometimes they don't
regenerate as fast as they think. {probe} {R shook head no}
10026 c-3

about a program and tax.
10029
10029 a-10a I want to know how much the State thinks they will spend for it. If it's going to cost
taxpayers forget it. {probe} No, they make oil spill the oil companies are
responsible.
10029 a-12a It's sound [sic] fine if escort ships are paid for by oil companies. {probe}

If it's $5.00. They hide things and then more. $5.00 is nothing but state always
wants more.
10032 b-4
(OS) Because the state always says so much and they project, but then goes up
double. Too many smart people see people vote and then they raise it and keep it up.
{probe} No.
10032 e-10 Elderly Hispanic male - Had to be assure I wasn't selling anything. He feels once
people vote for a tax raise, someone raises the bid for the project and we all pay
more.

10034 pg12 Why can't we accelerate the time frame for the double hull issues?
10034 b-1
I want more information about where the money is going before I commit to an
answer. Why can't we make the oil company pay?

companies could not be made to pay the cost.
Does the oil stay on the top?
If it were a one time $25.00, I would vote for it.

10053
10053 a-10a Am I supposed to be impressed with these numbers of birds? What about pelican?
Why aren't they on here? They do get affected by it? {probe} They had problems in
Valdez with sea otters etc. I can't see why they wouldn't be affected by that. So why
do they say that they wouldn't. {probe}
10053 a-12a As part of the recov pkg. would removing the rest of the oil off the tanker be done?
{probe} Would they use any degt. [sic] that breaks up the oil and sends it to the
bottom, that's no good because it affects the animals on the bottom {probe}
10053 b-1
I would have to find out first. Why can't these ships find there way along the coast.
They have all the equip. to do this. They do it all the time, why would they need an
escort ship? {probe} I would probably vote for this. 12,000 birds are a lot of birds.
{probe}
10053 b-2
Protect the birds, keep the water clean. {probe}

D.K. you don't hear much about oil spills off our coast but I suppose it would be a lot

rest.
10053 d-16 1 yr. I can't handle no more. I know these people they would they would have to
specific it would be only a 1 yr. tax.[sic]

do harm to a lot more things than just birds. I think it could possible harm our food.
{probe}
10055
10055 a-10a This talks about animals/plant life. How about the beaches themselves people can't
use them. I'd be concerned about the plants alone all the shoreline and just the shore
it's self. {probe} I guess they would be danger to private property also. Think it
would effect the fisherman also their live hood if the fish left. {probe}
10055 b-1
Would this be for all people who pay CA. income tax. I'm concerned it might be a
burden for some people. I would want to see tax applied in a fair way. I think the oil

Keeping the coast clean. I'm concerned about the animals dying, the smell for people
who live in the area. {probe}
10056

Protect general coast line. {probe} Mice that you don't kill the animals, not that
important. {probe}
10056 d-15 Five dollars is fine but there are a lot more important things the people should be
doing. Whichever agency is doing this should be apply more energy to those things
that are more important to the people. Crime prevention, prisons, etc.
10057
10057 a-1e I don't think of that as where my state money goes. [Hard to tell if R was talking
about "Reducing crime" or "Protecting coastal areas from oil spills"]
10057 pg6
I don't believe that. I think there are a lot more than that.
10057 a-10a Are the oil co. paying any part of the cost of this survey? {probe} No.
10057 b-4
(OS) The oil co. would pass along the cost to us so we would be paying a lot more
than that. This is no time to raise tax in Or. now. This is not high on our priorities
list right now. If I lived in Sa Bara [sic] I would probably feel different about it.
{probe} Orange Co is not impacted by oil spills. {probe} No.
10057 c-4
It's more than one year because the oil co's. would pass along their part to the
consumer. {probe}
10062
10062 a-2a It doesn't work.
10062 a-2d That's a heck of a question. They are important.
10062 a-3
I think I have.
10062 b-2
Oil is California's lifeline - We need it to hold the economy up - We can't afford the
expense of the oil spills. {probe} It will not prevent the spill, but help clean it up &
prevent considerable damage to the wildlife, fish etc. that are affected. {probe} No.
10062 c-1
(OS) I have no idea - but increased oil traffic would no doubt increase the probability
of spills. {probe} No.
10062 c-4
You had all ready told me it was a one time tax. {probe}
10062 d-16 That's a good question. {probe}
10062 e-10 Very interested in survey. R's father was in Coast Guard so he was extremely
interested in oil spills and had seen the consequences of spills.
10063 a-1
Oh, I'll tell you alright.
10063 pg5
I can tell you my answer. No. Not in my opinion, anything should be done.
Whatever it is - it is not needed.

I'm a scientist and I know about this.
I'm against it. I think it's silly. No - this program is stupid.
No. I don't want my money doing that.
No, there aren't any reasons for me to vote for it. I don't care. There will be others
reborn. They won't be extinct.
I refuse.
(OS) It's a stupid program. {probe} These species are not endangered. {probe}
Nature takes care of itself. {probe} They will replenish themselves. {probe}
If you pay me as a consultant, I'll tell you why I think so.
Of course people lie. Those politicians always lie - you know that.
Really I'm not an environmentalist at all.
I don't think about the situation any at all. I'm against it.
R at end of int. "Oh no, I'll bet you weren't happy to meet me. I'm very opinionated."
R was very irritated at the whole idea of this program.
Too much money.
It seems high. I'd be willing to pay if it were less or the money spread out over a
long period of time. Sounds like a good program.
R is a law student and refused me 2 times. While I was sitting in my car, she came
out. I asked if she was Sarah, very disgustingly she said OK if it will keep me from
coming back - I'll do it. After we finished, she said she was glad she did it.
I don't think we are responsible. They are not taxpayers.
(OS) They should pay for the problem not us. {probe} No.
It would be for more than one year.
Very nervous lady - When I did screener she was on her way to job interview During interview she had 2 grand kids, 7 months and 2 years.
These are worthless birds! But all the environment should be protected.
I don't quite agree with you. It will be on going - man will continue to do it. All
companies & states should protect the environment.
This is wishful thinking! They can't do that in bad weather, fog -that's crazy.
Don't read me all that - I know what this is!
This is a hypothetical question! How many more taxes? Things can change - voting
for new taxation requires priorities! I don't know where this should be!
Clean up the environment. But this may not be important in the future. {probe}
Those stupid birds only procreate but we must protect them.
These birds don't do anything! They're gooney birds!
(OS) That's too hypothetical the oil companies are still drilling, so I won't answer.
Pollution continues!
I have investments so we'll see!
It's too hypothetical! I may not - it may depend.
That's between - devil & deep blue sea!

You won't find many people who care enough to vote for this.
It would save the wildlife. {probe} The birds and plants and keep the oil out of the
water and off the shore.
(OS) A "little" more.
I'm between 1 & 2.
R was very skeptical and hesitant about starting interview. Wouldn't let me in. We
sat outside to do it. Thanked me at the end.
In case there's another oil accident it would help protect the ocean and beach from
that harm. {probe} I think that says it all.
R was very impressed with his household being selected for the interview - anxious
to participate.
It's a good thing. They have a ship like this.
We have the obligation to protect the animals when we make mistakes. {probe} The
program shows that we care about the animals that would be harmed.
The harm could be extremely serious if we don't take care of it.
I'm very familiar with this area. I drive up the coast often. I have a brother up in
Santa Cruz.
10075 a-8
Colors would help 10075 a-10a I wonder about the saltwater marshes? What would happen to the wetlands areas?
Does the oil get sucked up into the marshes or what? Does it just settle there? And
what's the recovery time for that area? There are marshes - the oil can't be carried
out to sea as easily as on a sandy beach or rocky shore. {probe}
10075 a-12 I guess not. The oil usually moves pretty slowly, so they'd have enough time.
10075 b-1
I'd be inclined to vote.

Just to protect the coastal areas, protect the environment. {probe} I think the Central
Coast is an important resource and the beauty of it should be protected, I think.

the beauty of the area. It's unspoiled, unlike L.A.

It would protect the resource of the beach & the environment. From the beach to the

every spoken word sound like shouting, until I got used to speaking in a much quieter

I think the delay causes more damage. {probe} I don't think the govt. should
subsidize the oil companies.
That is a substantial fund.
(OS) Basic distrust of oil companies - foreshadowed potential dishonesty as indicated
by the request for a 10 year implementation delay.
I didn't think about it.
The presentation reflected a pre-disposition to the policy already & seeks more my
blessing than true counsel.
The order & content of the questions combined w/ the transparent ratio of positive
responses to the negative.
It's all pretty unpleasant.
It would help clean up the oil spill & reduce damage to sea like you mentioned.

What do they do with the oil?
Because of the animals, they can live too. {probe} The animals you said.
I love watching them.
We get it on the two sides. {probe}
I reread a couple of times.
I reread the voting question.
I had to reread two spots a couple of times but I believe he understood the program
well.
I need to know how much the oil companies are paying & would like to know the
total cost per bird to taxpayers & oil companies. How many birds would die? The
information provided is not enough.
The percent rate in increase of for example of bird deaths is not that big.
You said one year!
I hate the term environmentalist - {probe} Environmental movement taken over by
unreasonable people. For instance, species have always gone extinct otherwise we
would be eaten now by dinosaurs. All species are not equally valuable. {probe} No.
This R was mentally calculating the amount of birds that would be affected by spills
& the cost per bird. Felt this wasn't a reason to vote yes. He also stated that if
environmentalists were present in prehistoric times we would now be attacked by
dinosaurs since that group would be lobbying to protect them. Screener given to me
by young woman DU but she also said that she and her sister do not contribute
financially or otherwise to the household. They both work but their money is for
their use.
I've never seen a state program closed yet. They don't have a sunset program.
Minor amounts of birds compared to the total you've got. 12000 birds out of the
amount you've got is peanuts.
(OS) Several reasons because we have too many taxes to begin with regardless of
whether you can afford them or not. {probe} No.
I don't think the State can set up a business and run it any better than the oil
companies.10087

We love the trees and the streams but people come first.

I don't know much about it all - but it's important.
Well, I don't know how much that effects me - when it comes to money anything is
important.
{probe}{probe}{probe} I have no young children so it's not as important to me. I
usually look at things more than one way.
I've never been in LA. I would assume they need transportation like any other city. I
don't think about what's important just for me.
And I think it should be done as quickly as possible.
Well, I don't know. {probe} If it's no more than that.
Helping the small birds and small animals from becoming extinct. They will die - It
might take them a long time, but they will die. If the mother bird were to die there
would be nobody to take care of the baby chicks.
That's hard to answer. {probe} I wouldn't have any idea. I don't get out very much.
If small children were to pickup the dead animals and put in their mouth - it might be
dangerous.
For some reason we put up fences, but there's always someone to come and pull it
down.
No matter what it said I would make up my own mind.
I would like to if I could get out. I think it would be very interesting. But I don't
think the birds appreciate that because they fly away.
If the programs are on I watch them. They're not on very often.
I don't enough about [sic] it, but I'm certainly for the birds, the bees - I'm on their
side.
I don't think about those things at all. {probe}
I don't think it will ever get around to that. {probe} There's a good possibility I
wouldn't vote at all. {probe} If the weather's bad. I can't get. {probe} I probably
would vote for it. But I don't think the money would be spent for that. Now - if it

What's the guarantee that this would be a one-time tax? {probe} $65 for a program.
Huh, imagine looking at a beach with out seaweed, mussels or anything. {probe} I'd
have to make sure that it would only be a one-time thing.
{probe} I would vote yes if that's all cost, but if no one can guarantee it would be
$65.00 one-time, I'm not going to. I take going to the polls very seriously. To many
tax-hikes have not stopped when we were promised they would. {probe} No.
If anything, it'd probably be

I would vote for the program if it were a one-time cost of $65.00. And how quickly
could this be up and running because that would decrease the number of years left to
protect before the 10 were up?

Unfortunately until something can be done with these people.
Just letters.
I'm fully aware of this.
I've seen them.
When we travel I've seen them.
I'm pretty well aware my husband worked for Chevron for 35 years. I know how
hard the work on caring or solving problems relating to this.
I'm pretty familiar with this type of operation. I'm for this because some are
negligent.
It would save more of all the fish and fowl. {probe} It would keep the water cleaner
because water doesn't stay in one place it moves. {probe} Other companies (oil) are
not as careful as Chevron on cleaning up their accidents.
I would because of the animals.
It's hard for me to judge that.
We don't want anything to happen to God's creatures.
It would depend upon how they do it. Between 1 and 2.
It's been six years.
It's too early.
That's kind of hard.
They've had their ups and downs.
Late husband of selected R spent working life with Chevron.
I'm an oil spill person.
I'm familiar with this.
That's a joke. That's a big boom. That looks like a Troll.
I thought we had something like this already.
I don't feel taxpayers should foot the bill.
(OS) It's only a ten year program. In that area where ships transit colliding with a
rock is zero but colliding with a ship could happen. {probe} I'm very familiar with
that area. {probe} Oil protection we have now are adequate like MSRC's and Clean
Bays programs. There are many trained personnel already to deal with this.
Like that boom it won't work worth a shit in big sears [sic].
Selected R's wife was present during interview cooking in the kitchen. Selected R is
a commercial fisherman so was more intimate the most with the ocean.
I did that wrong, no. 4.
All of them.
Oh yeah.
If in ten years the hulls are changed forgot this whole thing.
Are the oil companies paying this or who, I think since they have single hulls the oil
should pay, then they would get double hulls quicker [sic].
(OS) Because the government keeps spending money to see how to make jobs for
others, who make more than I do.
It would carry on.
Lots of times.

10101 a-8
Most all of them.
10101 a-12a How much would it increase your taxes? I think oil companies should pay to clean it
up. They spilled it. Isn't that the way it should be?
10101 c-4
I imagine.
10101 d-3
I used to be a commercial fisherman for 30 yrs.
10101 d-4
Not too much, but I believe in the importance of having birds.
10101 d-5
Maybe more.
10101 d-8
Since 64. Though I was Alaska for four (4) yrs.
10101 d-16 If everyone was taxed, that's how they usually do things, if the oil companies pay you
will pay higher prices anyway 10101 e-10 Commercial fisherman disabled.
10102
10102 pg8
Double bottoming. I'm familiar with those.
10102 pg11 I know all about that.
10102 b-4
(OS) This is overkill on highly emotional issue. There is technology to prevent spills
already. Anytime you get a government agency involved in private enterprise you
stifle business. Regulations costs will be passed onto the worker and consumer.
There is overregulation. Technologies are there that exist to prevent oil spills. We
don't have many oil spills every month. Oil seepage occurs naturally. It's only $5
but I'm getting tired of the government spending my money. There are rules already
out there. They never say how many birds are born every year. There's too much
redundancy.
10102 c-1
It hasn't been proven to me, how many birds have been killed. You can't fart without
a regulatory agency knowing about it. I dispute the numbers. What is the ration of
losses to the birds compared to the ones born every year? How many programs have
been started and not stopped?
10102 c-2
A highly emotional issue. I don't want to start another program, use what we have.
10102 c-3
Installing a new layer of government does not stop an accident. What will stop the
accident is new technologies to develop ways.
10102 c-4
We are not in a risk free society or utopian society. Who's going to pay for the
costs?, in the long run the consumer, when they raise prices to cover costs.
10102 d-16 Then I have a choice to chose, if the government is involved I don't have a choice.
They take my money. A consumer does. I don't want the government in my pocket
or my personal life.
10102 e-10 Refrigerator repair man was present during majority portion of the interview.
Selected R very excitably opposed to taxes, spent life working in a highly regulated
industry. During screener the HH member admitted by California law his wife was
on the mortgage but he considered her contribution to rent/mortgage to be zero in his
mind so based on that I eliminated her as an eligible respondent.
10103
10103 pg6
Let's move along on this.
10103 a-7
Oil companies responsible for clean up.
10103 pg10 This is so much like any other government program. It looks good on paper. I'm
tired of working every third day for free to pay for these programs. I've heard that oil
spills are cleaned up naturally and more harm than good is done when we interfere. I
don't care how many birds die.
10103 b-4
(OS) Tax money should be used for essentials fire, police, prisons, for schools.
Government should get back to the basics. We are overregulated some of the recent
401251978

organisms.
I was on the Oregon coast last summer. Normally I go to the beach all the time.
I don't own a TV.
Industry will be more efficient than government bureaucracy can achieve.
Government tries to do too many things that people should be doing for themselves.
Selected R exhibited several bouts of impatience and anger towards the study,
government and taxes. Attention span was short during narration continually urged
me to read faster and move a long.
For young people, I guess.
That's getting lots of people out of jobs.
I really think they shouldn't let that oil spill. That's a lot of damage.
Does the state pay? Do the taxpayers pay? They have enough on the taxpayers.
$5 for each program. That's a lot of $. {Implying for every program the state wants}
From the spiel [sic] and the shorelines {referring to graphics} the people can't go
swimming or anything. {probe} {For specifics} {probe} Nothing.
Lots of times.
Long interview. 86 yr. old R looked long at all materials. R's daughter in law left on
card C. - No surface to write on.
10105
10105 a-12a It seems like you would need a whole lot of those better ships, wouldn't you? I'm
assuming there's a lot of ships going back and forth. Having one go alone with each
ship seems like much.
10105 b-4
(OS) For whatever accident there is it's going to runover in a short amount of true so
we shouldn't spend that amount of money on it. {probe} Mt. St. Helen's recovery
was much less than thought.
10105 c-4
Never fails.
10105 d-4
I must do it or the state will be after me. I have to do it on my job.

other birds.

10106 b-1
It would cost $5. If I were to be sure that is all I would vote for it. These programs
always escalate. That's well within my means.
10106 b-5
It's because I would vote for it if it reasonably guarantee $5 but the government
always escalates and eats into my pocket and it probably would be more. The oil
comes up onto the beaches and I like to use the beaches. I'm a fisherman.
10106 c-1
Probably a little bit more because the demand year by year for oil is greater.
Probably more ships would use sailoring.
10106 c-2
Taking into consideration the population of birds affected.

10107 a-12a Is this going to - Are they going to raise taxes in order to accomplish this?
10107 b-4
(OS) I think it should be the responsibility of the oil company. If they spill the oil
they should clean it up. Why should it be the responsibility of the people!
10107 e-10 For sale sign, R lived in house 20 yrs, moving to Oregon. Heavy smoker.

Save animals and plants. In the long run save human life - Imagine swimming in oil
- Save the beauty of it. {probe} You don't know what your doing all the time with
nature. {probe} I think no more.

(OS) Don't know. {probe} Don't know.
10108 e-10 No.
10109
10109 pg10 How would cost taxpayers?
10109 a-12a How much oil or % of the oil is taken up by the escort ship? {probe} No.
10109 pg12 What happens after this? If the double hulls break? What % of double hulls be
affective?
10109 b-2
Save our coastline. There's enough pollution out there without oil spills. {probe}
Save wildlife. I think these no's are low - will the injured birds have birth defects or
other problems.
10109 e-10 None.
10110
10110 pg12 Why don't they tax the gasoline - Why do they tax people who don't drive. Why not
put it in with the fuel tax? Or transportation tax. {probe}
10110 b-2
Keep clean beaches, clean coastline. {probe} Open hwy 1 again, that's it. {probe}
Keeping the wildlife safe I guess. {probe} That good more more [sic].
10110 c-2
I would think a lot more birds would be killed then 1200.
10110 e-10 Very attentive & informed.
10111
10111 a-12a Is it more than one escort ship per boat? {probe} That's all.
10111 b-4
(OS) One time tax usually turns into more, short program? Would have been good
20 years ago but now is questionable. {probe} That's all.
10111 e-10 R's dog was barking loudly during about 1/2 of interview so it was done on the front
porch standing. R didn't seem to mind but it was a little awkward for us.
10112
10112 a-4
I've been laid up for 1 year.
10112 pg4
They're responsible for any spills. During WWI there was tar on the beaches from
oil spills so this has been going on for a long time.
10112 pg5
Is this refined oil like gasoline in the little tankers? {Q by Q} Raw oil congeals &
falls to the bottom - diesel oil gives the problem, the light oil. The heavy oil
congeals & sinks. There's not that many people living here.
10112 pg6
Do they migrate? {probe} {Q by Q}
10112 pg7
They've been chopping the kelp & that makes oil.
10112 pg8
When a ship comes in they back flush & oil comes out as a by product. They have to
do something about that first.
10112 pg9
There's too many irresponsible people.
10112 a-10a If they could back flush in the open sea we would have less oil spills. {probe} No.
10112 pg10 They're responsible for what they do. That's a waste of time. What will they do stick their fingers in the hole if it leaks?
10112 pg11 That's the coast guard's responsibility, not the state.
401251978
18
6/21/2016 6:44:00 AM
10112 a-12a The coast guard already has something like this. Why should the state be involved?
{probe} No.
10112 pg12 The tankers are under federal government. Why is the state getting involved?
{probe} {Q by Q}
10112 pg13 Would there be a bond? {probe} {Q by Q}
10112 pg14 What if you be not working? Would you still pay? {Q by Q}
10112 c-2
We've been dumping for quite a while and the wildlife is still living. Our problem is
too many people.
10112 c-3
This is useless for the small stuff. It's just another gimie to collect tax's.
10112 c-4
The rest of my life. It's like floating a bond. The 1st 50 years we pay the interest.
10112 d-14 They keep raising the tax's.
10115
10115 pg3
What kind of new programs? {Q by Q}
10115 pg4
They do have oil coming in that way? {Q by Q} Where do they store them? What
kind of containers? Is it on shore or off shore? {Q by Q} That close? {Q by Q}
10115 pg7
Are these all edible? {Q by Q} Why aren't these moving away? {Q by Q}
10115 pg9
In the meantime all these are messed up. Do people fish here? {Q by Q} The fish is
already no longer good due to pollution.
10115 pg10 How about that coming from the sewer system? We have floods & the debris goes
out there too. {Q by Q}
10115 a-12a Is this for huge spills like Alaska? Do they have enough ships to take care of the
problem. {probe} No.
10115 b-1
Crime and kids schooling are more important. Isn't the state already raising taxes?
{Q by Q} In the San Francisco area they implemented an earthquake tax & said it
was temporary but I don't think they've stopped it yet.
10115 b-4
(OS) Schooling, crime & medical reasons are more important. {probe} No.
10115 d-7
I have my opinions but I don't go out and do things about them.
10115 d-15 But knowing the state I don't think it would be one time.
10115 d-16 What kind of business? {RR D16}
10115 d-17 I haven't seen a whole lot of things changing so far.
10116
10116 b-1
I have a problem, we being taxed and it was less but if it was less money maybe! But
for that amount I vote.
10116 b-4
(OS) Don't like the feeling that the state is taxed and too much. If $10 or $5 but $65
is too much for a household to pay.
10116 c-1
I did not really think about it until now.
10116 d-5
My family has a house on the beach.
10116 d-16 Tax alcohol.
10116 e-7a Because company arrived toward the end.
10116 e-10 There was a few distractions for the respondent. She has foster children that came in
and out. Also company arrived toward the end of interview.
10117
10117 a-10 Why don't they stay farther out and not so near the shore? {This was more a
comment than a question}
10117 b-2
I guess saving the wildlife and small animals and $5.00 is not so bad. It would keep
that part of the California coast. I mean help protect that part from these oil spills.
10117 c-1
I have seen shows on oil spills and I think it would be a lot more!
10117 c-4
It's always is longer than they say.

We spend lots of time on the coast. We like to fish.
I see - oh dear! That means accidents are going to happen.
How do the fish & others know to leave the area?
Wow! that sounds expensive.
OK - one time tax - that's a good way to do it. Great!
I'm really concerned about the long term effects of oil, even though nature cleans
itself well. I'm still concerned about organisms in the sea. Also, I liked their plan of
surrounding the oil & sucking it up. I thought it was a good plan, & that it would
work. I was surprised that an escort would be necessary.
(OS) I wondered whether there were other organisms that would be affected that
weren't mentioned. I'm afraid that the food chain may be affected in ways they didn't
include.
It was very balanced.
No.
a-7
I spend a lot of time going to the coast and looking at the birds.
a-12a Every time a tanker goes out, it would be escorted?
b-2
It would protect the environment for my children and grandchildren. {probe}
Protects the wildlife, & prevents the contamination of the beaches & rock areas.
Also, there is other animal life that we can't see that would be protected.

It's not true - it affects people's mental health, to see the harm done.

10 years for the bird population & other animal & plant life doesn't sound like a long
time, but I'm willing to support an end to the pollution. {probe} No.
It depends on how it's implemented.
R fidgeted during the narrative, & appeared bored. But she was much more engaged
at the beginning and the end of the interview, & afterward commented on how
interesting it was.
We love the ocean. I go there everyday I have off.
We've gathered up just about every little critter there is on this picture.
There should be more like a million of the gulls - they're everywhere.
There's plenty of them out there - that's for sure. The whales ought to be running out
there pretty soon. We love to watch them.
I pretty well keep up with it on the news. Like that Valdez - that was bad. God puts
all these creatures on the Earth, & man comes along and destroys them, just for the
almighty dollar.
That's neat.

So that's just going to be for 10 years? That sounds like a good deal!
The protection. {probe} We love the coast; protection of the animals would be great.
{probe} Mostly the protection. And, it would give some people some jobs.
It's got to be dealt with some way.
R was extremely talkative, mostly about his family's frequent trips to the ocean.
{R takes a minute here to do something outside}
The gull - it's similar to the seagull.
It doesn't do anything to the earth or anything like that? The grass, sand, rocks people collect those Anything that helps any kind of wildlife or improves the environment, I like. {probe}
It's better for the environment. {probe} It would help those birds and the coastline.
$25 is worth it for that. {probe} No.
We go a lot - every Sunday.
I worked 3 jobs last year.
R had a friend over. She sat very quietly nearby, looking at a photo album. R was
interrupted once at A-3 by a page from the front gate. She went outside to deal with
that and returned within 2 minutes. Otherwise, there were no distractions.
Well, maybe the wester gull.
Now - if I vote for it, do I have to pay something right now to you? {No -RQ} {RR
pg 14 top}
Preserve wildlife. {probe} The birds, all of it. {probe} You showed the diagram of
them - the gull, the crabs, anything like that, protect them from oil spills. {probe}
No, that would do it.

does this harm continue to happen? I mean for each spill.
10136 a-12 Pretty nifty - clever idea.
10136 a-12a How many tankers are we talking about in a day? How much money will the escort
ships cost? Why can't the tankers do this themselves? The oil companies could
furnish each of their tankers and barges with a skimmer and sea fence and clean it up
right away themselves.
10136 pg14 I think the state has a right or an obligation - to protect the water, shore and wildlife.

yrs. till all the ships have 2 double hulls.
R thought throughout that I was going to sell him something. Kept listening for a
sales pitch. Didn't believe this could really be legitimate. Surprise!
You can't tell me there's no more harm than this to those birds!

There's a lot of garbage there.
No seals? In San Francisco there were a lot of seals. Then they weren't there. I don't
know what happened to them - maybe they went somewhere else.
Just the seagulls.
Then they shouldn't be wasting all that money on that then.
Who's going to pay for that.
All households would pay? How?
Because I'm on a very limited income I just feed these brown birds out here. I don't even know what they're called.
I watch documentaries.
All my life.
I guess.
R was reluctant to do IW initially as she was not fully awake when I knocked on the
door. She seemed to enjoy it as it got going though.

10163 pg10 I don't see why they don't have the military help with this. They're out there cruising
around anyway. Why not train them to do it? What about rough seas - could they go
out in storms?
10163 a-12a Can a ship this size (escort ship) hold the amount of oil that would came from the
tanker? Couldn't they make these tankers go out further from the coast to avoid
collisions, & give more time to clean up the oil before it gets to the shore.
10163 pg12 Where do the fines got to, that the oil companies pay when they have a spill? 9 times
out of 10 they probably don't pay a fine. How long does it take to set up something

Soft spoken R, wearing Wash. DC sweatshirt, IW'd while she was babysitting her
grandchild who was asleep.
(OS) It would cost $25 do start the program, but the cost of oil products would rise, it
would be worth it - there haven't been that money oil spills - it doesn't happen every
day - the oil companies are very good about cleaning up their own messes. {probe}
No.

How come the oil companies don't do it?
(OS) Typically what I've seen is when the State gets involved they get too carried
away. I'd be interested in what the oil companies alone can do to correct this. I've
seen the oil spill typically slowed down because the State gets involved.
It doesn't have to be that way. I see it 1st hand. I'm with it everyday. I'm in the
smog program. It doesn't work He has a large auto repair business. His wife said to go down to it and he would do
the IW. He did even though he has a lot of business and several employees.
(OS) Because we are moving to Arizona in this year. So it would not be important to
us.
Anytime they are on T.V.
If we only had to pay the $220 one time for all the things you told me - to keep the
water clean and to save all the birds - Yes. rooteyes [sic] - It's not bad to do all those
good things.
If we only paid the $220 - Yes, I would pay higher taxes. It's better to pay $220
once.
Keep the oil off our shore lines. {probe} No. Sounds like a band aid just for the ten
years. Until they get the double hulls.
I guess it would depend on who regulates it.
I hardly know what they do.
R husband remembered getting the letter. He was busy in the yard. Company came
while the interview was going on but they went into a different room.
I don't remember any oil spills in our area. I don't know if there was a major oil spill
in the S.F. Area.
Where have they been spilling? I haven't heard of any really dilemma. I don't know
all the oil floats on water. How does this affect sea life, crabs, seastars. Oil doesn't
sink. It is on the surface.
It's self-explanatory.
(OS) I don't see the necessity for it. I don't see it down here. The small area. What I
about the whole length of Calif. from S.F. to Ventura. Why not cover the whole
coast.
Double hull tanks will solve most of it. I haven't heard of any problems.
You can bet it will be for more than one year.

If they aren't giving any figures...(then this is ambiguous) put it in plain, simple
English (the cost).
Wipe me out!
Nothing is perfect.
In 1903, they said income taxes would be temporary and here we are.
Recreation? I work!
If they did it through payroll deductions, taxes would be fine. But one lump sum is
too much at once.
After the interview, R said he would vote for the program if it used payroll
deductions over the 12 month tax year. Interview done at R's office.
They ought to have open season on the gulls - there's too many of them.
They sense it? In the Alaska spill, they talked about the birds & the sea otters but not
the fish. How do the fish sense it? (the oil).
That's a good thing they're doin' it. I guess the gas pays off the tanker's double hulls.
They have skimmers to do this, don't they? In other words, they're going to police
the coast? And the govt. is going to pay for it?
That's a hard one. They have a ship in SF now? It all depends on the weather, too.
Those double hulls may not work - nothin' is bullet proof. $200 per household?
That's a lot of money for 3 ships. But if we want to save the shoreline, it's got to be
done.
Keep the Calif. coast clean, & the fish, the clams, the water. We have good times
with the kids at the ocean - I'd hate to be out there in an oil slick.
He seemed unclear about how the prevention program would actually work, though
he understood the general concept. He thought at one point that there would be 3
escort ships - one at each center.
R's wife was watching TV nearby.
$5.00 doesn't seem like a lot. my initial indication was to say no. What's the total
dollar amount?
Protects the environment, and the cost isn't too much, and it's a temporary program. I
like the idea of having the oil companies have double hulls. {probe} No.
R's teenage daughter was doing her homework at the same table as we were. R
quickly grasped the info, & seemed impatient with my reading of the narrative, so I
sped it up a bit.
No, I understand that birds are being killed.
{probe} They should pay for that. We shouldn't pay.
At our age we don't want to get involved in something like this. Let the young
people worry about this.
(OS) Every time they add some taxes is very difficult for us. {probe} We are living
on Social Security and is very limited income.
They can't do it in one year. They can't clean up in one year, if they deceive to put
this program.
My husband used to, but none in the last years.
I am not voting in anything that is going to cost us money, at our age we can't afford
it.

To save the birds and fishes from being killed.
It's a small price to pay for the environment. {probe} It would save the wildlife that's
mentioned and protect the food chain.
For Sec. c only.
I think the numbers are smaller than I expected. 12,000 birds. I would think that
number is too small.
Keep our beaches clean. {probe} I lived at the beach for 15-20 years. {probe} Or at
free from oil--which I think is a terrible disaster for wildlife, us & puppy dogs.
Under any circumstance.
In relation to the number of programs on -- I don't think there are enough.
I'm gonna retire, but I have good retirement program.
None.
It's preventative and pro-active ex) rather than reactive. It's anticipating a problem
that is inevitable and fully preparing for it. {probe} It's a [misule] start up for per
household and the maintenance by the oil companies is well suited should it - the
need - run more than 10 yrs. Death of one bird is enough to justify the program.

We don't have much time to do this. {probe}
10197 a-12a There must be a way that the ships could be stopped from spilling the oil {probe}

{probe} Thee must be some kind of check like cars every 2 years to see that smoke
doesn't come out, couldn't they do something like that for ships?

is, but I don't think it's too serious.

I think the state shouldn't do anything.
That's nothing compared to the thousands there are. So what?
- Taxpayers already pay their share - the gas prices will go up.
You're building up another force to enforce this. That's so costly.
(OS) Because it would be a multibillion dollar project. It's unbelievable what $25
times each HH would be. It's another way to get more money from the people.
Oil companies are more conservative and have learned the way to get away from that
much damage.
If it was voted on, it would stay all the time.
I did - Bug Sur.
About 7 yrs. ago.
National Geographic.
Plus trade school.
Worse. {RQ}
You, you're the government - the people are the government. We pay for it. No either way that's the same thing. I don't want the program.
R was talkative after the IW, adding that people here (in this country) expect the
government to pay for everything. He said we have too many programs, costing too
much money.

cover that shortly}
10221 a-12a Have these been used in other states and have they been successful? Or is this a pilot
program? {probe} No.
10221 pg12 If the oil companies are charged an escort fee - oil prices will rise which will, in the
end, cost whoever uses oil, gas, whatever. {probe} No.
10221 pg13 I see no long term problems that arise from this, so why spend the money. {probe}
no.
10221 b-1
I would vote against because in the long run it will cost us more money. {probe} No.
10221 b-4
(OS) In the long term it will cost more in increases in oil and gas prices. There is no
way that tax you talk about will cover expenses.
10221 c-3
I want the results from similar programs used in other states before voting.
10221 c-4
That is not the issue to me. Issue is the long term cost, not just a one time tax.
{probe} No.
10221 e-10 This R interested in study. Did comment more than once that a one time tax did not
seem feasible. He stated the oil companies would pass on their costs to the public in
higher gas & oil prices. Very nice gentleman.
10223
10223 b-4
(OS) {R specifically stated "other" & then gave this answer} It's too much money for
only 10 miles of shoreline. It's not the $120 - we need more for crime fighting - if
they were endangered I would feel different. It's like a lottery - maybe it won't
happen again.
10223 c-2
Because it's only a 10 mile span.

10224
10224 a-12a What's it cost and what's the trade-off?
10224 b-2
I think the protection of sea life is an ongoing thing affecting fishing restaurants and
related trade. & Secondly, it's best to get a program in place that fixes or attempts to
fix a problem before it happens. It is more cost effective.
10224 c-1
(OS) More. Think that there will be more oil needed to keep with growing
population in West so more chance of spills, more ships, more opportunity for
spillage and lax and sturdy ships.
10224 c-2
I think conservation of plants & animals but have to balance like with owls in

10225 box3 How much will it cost?
10225 b-2
I was in Saudi Arabia during the oil dump and saw what it did to the coast and water.
{probe} It would protect the animals and the coastline from oil. People - commercial
fishermen would be out of jobs. So we have to protect the jobs. It also stinks - it
would protect coastline.
10225 c-1
(OS) A little less.
10225 e-10 R is a marine - sees how oil damages water and coasts.
10226
10226 b-4

anyway.

Once they get they're going it they're going to keep it [sic] - {the tax money}

Hopefully it would keep the oil from hitting the shoreline. It's a lot harder to clean
up after it hits the shore. You would have less bird clean up. {probe}

government plays.
10228 b-4
(OS) Money could be much better spent on other programs. I do not think it's
necessary. It's guilt the lily [sic]. Taxes are too low not to high, a lot of money spent
on unnecessary things.

Not on the coast of Ca.

Why don't they just make the ships going [illegible] going out to sea. It will be

(OS) (two fail) can't afford it. (2nd) not sure it's worth the dollars we would spend
for the years we would get out of it.
There is a control to keep them down. Doesn't seem to be any control on taxes.
I worked in the oil field - I know now it works.
I don't think it's up to the public for paying for it. Why don't the oil cartels with all
this money pay for it? Why not put a pipeline like they have in Alaska like from LA
to SF & eliminate the barges?
Once an oil spill happens, there's always going to be some harm.
The interview doesn't give enough detail - I need more literature - If the oil
companies would pay for it, I'd vote for it - but then they wouldn't need our vote.
We would pay either way and both ways.
R, a hispanic man who said he never lets anyone in, was very courteous - used to
work in oil fields & was interested in problem.
(OS) My family works in the oil fields - sometimes it isn't their fault. {probe} Also,
my income is limited. {probe} No.
R is a disabled lady with MS - had some difficulty seeing since she didn't have
glasses but could see the pictures & maps OK - I read show cards to her.
(OS) I don't see why the oil companies are getting the profits, why should the
taxpayers be responsible for their mistakes. Oil can be piped from Mexico - We
don't need these tankers and foreign oil.
Once they put it on, it's always on.
Whatever you bought you could cut back on - taxes are constant.
r, an impatient man, feels very angry at Ca. state govt, had a lot of things to get off
his chest - He was in a hurry to finish IW.
I don't think $120 is too much. {probe} It would help prevent damage to our
coastlines. {probe} Saving the wildlife at the shoreline is important. {probe}

screening was completed in her home R was amenable to IWing right then. Her baby

inside. The primary language spoken in the household is Spanish.

Note R's verbatim comment on pg 7 - he seemed to not fully grasp the difference
between harm and total devastation. As R was somewhat difficult to understand I
thought but could not ascertain if he first asked if the oil was stinging them. When I
asked him to repeat, he changed the wording to destroy. Also, I don't believe he fully
understood "extinct". His comment at A-10a (pg 9) self-explanatory.
R's comments explicitly state he believed the program would cost $65 each & every
year. Only by re-emphasizing "total cost" & "one time tax" several times did R
finally understand.
Clearly there was some degree of language difficulty with this IW. Nevertheless; he
understood sufficiently and comprehended the majority of the information put forth
to make intelligible choices. His verbatim comments reflect those few words/phrases
he had difficulty in IW & "whatever it means to you" had to be used on several
occasions. A very traditional & culture bound family. I was struck by their
generosity amongst other things, when I found out they had given up most of their
living space to accommodate guests, so R, his wife & their 3 children were all
staying in a back bedroom - which is where we did the IW with all present and
accounted for. The family sat silent - the two teenage children listened intently and
even their 3 year old whispered each time she just had to say something. The culture
family walked me to my car parked out front as we laughed and swapped stories of
houses and the spirits that dwell within them. A wonderful experience (OS) [1 and 3 circled] It is an exceptable lose [sic] over the next ten years - I agree
with the reasons against.
{RR} Do you mean the double hulls or the escort ships? Even with double hulls I
guess you could still have spills. So I guess mostly effective.
Spread it evenly.
C-3, R thought double hulls was also part of program - Reread question.
Husband is forester.
{probe} No others.
(OS) The birds are not endanger of becoming extinct and after ten years it will be in
effect (the rule of double hulls on ships).
If it doesn't contaminate water too much.

Because we need to clean the area and put more restrictions on the oil spills. I felt
that is why you are asking these questions.

how our taxes are not being spent wisely. We need a commission to be set up to
spend our tax dollars more wisely.
Your guess is as good as mine - your information sounded reasonable. {probe}
That's a good one.
I thought you said - I don't know. {probe} {RE}
About how many times? {yes}
Can't use the wife {yes} {D-12 R goes to ask wife}
In between 3 and 4.
Still vote...
Got me on that one R was pleasant and cooperative, although seemed to tire near the end. He told me he

a-10a If they're making more double hulled things, aren't they more aware of spills and
taking more precautions? There are too many damn seagulls. Aren't there people
who catch clams in Bodega Bay? Would their jobs be affected?
10270 a-12a How often do oil spills happen? I live on the North Coast, and as a taxpayer. I'm not
as concerned about the Central Coast. Ships & crews are expensive. The cost factor
would be too much. I have a nephew who is a tugboat pilot - they should have better
technology to avoid hitting rocks & ships.

I'm $25 taxed to death. I really feel the money should be spent on other social &
environmental problems.
(OS)There are other issues that are more important than the coastline.
There are a lot of variables - response time, etc. It's not foolproof.
It should be a joint effort.
(OS) I think we pay enough taxes in this state. Besides, the oil companies are just
going to jack up their prices anyway. But they should pay for it.
I've got no basis for arguing with their statistics.
I can't think of an oil spill in this area since I've lived here.
In Mexico.
It's a now win situation.
R's husband sat with us during the interview, since I had spoken to him initially to do
the screener, and because he wanted to monitor the questions. He had been reluctant
at first to talk to me, because he said he is "paranoid" about gov't intrusion, and
suspicious about any personal questions that might be asked. I asked him not to say
anything that might influence his wife's answers, but his presence could have subtly
influenced her. As the interview progressed, they both became more relaxed, as they
realized that the questions weren't too nosy.
Not for the $5, but for the additional cost of the gasoline that the oil companies
would pass on to the consumers.
R seemed bored. After the interview, R expressed his complete hostility and
bitterness toward gov't. He is very angry about taxes & gov't corruption &
incompetence. He said he wouldn't mind having oil drilling off the Calif. Coast.

You're telling me we can't tell the f%$#!in' oil companies to do it? Why does it have
to take 10 years? What are we doin' - playin' a damn game with them? It shouldn't

jobs. We have the money to make the ships safe.

10279 a-10a This is the most conservative estimate of birds that would be killed. This is bullshit this is biased to let the oil companies buy time for 10 years. For them to say the fish
will come back is bullshit. Spills don't clean themselves. Where does the pollution
disappear to? Where does it go? Does it just disappear? {sarcastic} How do we
know the importance of these animals, to the survival of the planet? We do not have
the right to kill some animals for some oil company & some bogus report - my ass!
10279 a-12a It's taking crude technology - what happens if an Exxon Valdez dumps a huge
amount of oil? This would only work for a small spill. Why don't they use better
sonar technology on the tankers themselves? This program is a bandaid for a
problem that is much larger. The oil companies & their ethics suck>
10279 pg12 Put the sea fence & the skimmers on the tankers - it's cheaper.
10279 pg13 Well, I'll tell you - this report is bogus, slanted toward the oil companies. It's
bullshit, it's biased. The oil companies should be made to pay for it.
10279 b-2
Bandaid. {probe} It would just be a bandaid, but at least it's something. I feel that
I'm a responsible citizen, and if we don't do this, we can't call ourselves human
beings & Americans. {probe} No - it has nothing to do with how the program is
written. This is a cheaper buy than a big spill.
10279 b-3
That's another bullshit question. That's absolute bullshit! How do we know that we
aren't affecting the planet?

I don't like the word "environmentalist". I'm a realist.
10279 e-10 Interview was conducted in R's office. He was very opinionated, animated, and
cynical. He frequently went on obscenity-laced tirades about oil companies,
government, ethics, and social issues, sometimes digressing and rambling at length.
After the interview, he told me that whoever is behind this study - the state or the oil
companies - should use their money to fix the problem, not study it.
10280
10280 a-10 They should do something about it. Hell, they come around here & jack my ass up if
I spill 5 gallons of oil. {He's a dairy rancher}
10280 b-4

the oil companies - they've got plenty of money.

make the waters cleaner. {probe} I've known people who have been swimming &
covered with oil & it's a health hazard. I also don't feel all the fish swim away & are
affected and we are eating them. {probe} No.

him on occasion "what he thought?"
10288
10288 a-12a I'd like to know something about the cost. {probe} None of this happens by itself it's
always influenced by other things like our transportation system. {probe} No.

For numerous other reasons.
10288 b-4
(OS) We are losing business' and we can't continue to look after birds and not people.

I'd like to know how in the world such experienced seamen stray off course? Are
there programs for the seamen to ensure competency, sobriety, and other self help
programs.
Sounds logical.
1. What percentage would the oil co. pay verses the taxpayer? 2. Will the oil co.
absolutely be prevented from recycling their cost to the taxpayer? e.g. increase
prices?
It would make the oil companies responsibly function. {probe} It is a stepping stone
in saving our environment. {probe} Save the birds & wildlife.
They'll never prove that trickle down effect won't somehow affect our ecology and
the people.
Statistics support minimal damage and effect. {probe} N/E The presentation was
downplaying the total harm by the oil spills.
This is an area I will not speak about. No, not even an estimate.
R felt strongly in favor of program. Thanked me for coming.
Are you from an oil Company? You make it sound like this isn't too bad a problem.
Like it's not too much harm to the wildlife since none are in danger of becoming
extinct.
It would offer environmental safeguards. {probe} Possibly prevent more damage
than what is outlined here in numbers of the birds being killed. {probe}
Prove to me it's not harmful to humans.
(OS) Just "more" than what you're telling me.
I need to know about how effective the program really is.
R had 2 small children periodically coming in to ask questions. Said she was very
curious to hear the questions for this survey. Was very willing to do interview.
Never use the library.
DK them by name. They just look familiar.
I read about double hulls. Worked for an oil Co. for 20 yrs.
(OS) I feel the situation will be taken care of in 10 yrs. {probe} The harm done in
this 10 yrs. won't amount to that much since none of the species are endangered.
How many large spills have there been in the past 40 yrs.? I haven't heard of any.
Didn't think one way or other.
Couldn't care less.
Very aware 82 year old lady. In the beginning she felt she wouldn't be valuable to
our study. When we finished she was grateful to have done the interview.
(OS) Only a reasonably small number of birds would be killed. It's not that the birds
would be extinct. We pay too much taxes in Calif.
That's a tough one.
R said he did this only because he was curious. Wanted to know what questions the
state was asking and what the state wanted to know.
Make the beaches better. {probe} The water won't be contaminated. {probe} The
birds won't die. {probe} The ones the oil spills will kill. {probe} That's all.
R's older brother was nearby. R seemed to want his brother's approval for his
decision. He gave him a questioning look.

Sounds like a good idea.
Because that's a waste of wildlife.
It would prevent the unnecessary killing of wildlife and it would keep the beaches
clean. {probe} The shore creatures more than the birds. {probe} No that's it preserve
the wildlife & help keep the beaches clean.
Honestly.
Nothing's completely effective.
Because it seems to hurt less that way.
They kind of suck.
R's wife came into the room and sat quietly. She was present during the voting Q,

I thought they already did.
It just depressed me.
I know how this works.
OK - let me ask a question. I'm on a fixed income - I would pay some but those that
make more should pay more. {He didn't ask a question.}
It's not what the program would do - the world was better when I was a kid. There
are lots of kids that won't see what I saw - in Colorado when I was young, I saw the
migration of geese, ducks... {probe} The harbor is so filthy now - the coastline isn't
what it was. {probe} To preserve the coastline and the wildlife there. Maybe some
kid will want to swim there. Man has really ruined things. {probe} No.
The animals are just as important as humans.10299

10318 a-10a What caused the oil spills in the 1st place? Is that something we can control? {RR
pg 5 1st paragraph} Why are they that close?
10318 pg10 No, I would disagree. That is too much money. To run a line.
10318 a-12a Isn't U.S. Coast Guard called in for a spill. Like calling 911.
10318 pg12 Why don't they require it now. Why wait 10 years? Tanker is irresponsible. He
should pay. Why should I pay?
10318 pg13 Vote against.
10318 b-4
(OS) Tanker error, it needs to pay for it.
10318 c-2
Tanker neglect is very serious.
10318 d-14 Depends on the economy - I have no idea.
10318 d-16 That is very odd. Citizen is taxes taxes. Not to responsible. [sic] {Couldn't get her to
answer.}
10318 d-17 Depends on the people who run the gov't. It is the character of the person. {probe} I
agree with Wilson. I have trouble with W. Brown. {probe} {No answer.}
10318 e-10 I felt R was a little impatient to end the interview.
10319
10319 b-2
$25.00 extra is not that much to prevent that from happening to the wildlife. Just the
ten years is not that long. It would be worth $25.00 to me and since the oil
companies would pay for the running of the program. I think it is a good plan.
{probe}
10319 e-10 Interview was conducted outside on porch. She had received letter and my note. Her
four year old did cause a little distraction for her but she was very attentive.
10320
10320 a-10a How it might affect the water on the beaches? {probe} No more questions.
10320 b-2
It would protect the wildlife, the birds and wildlife on the Central Coast. And the
spills may affect the drinking water in the long run. It sounds like a good
preventative to me. {probe}
10320 d-17 The state government I have some confidence but the Federal is a different story.
10320 e-10 Her son was present because he was homesick. He did not cause any distractions at
all.
10321 b-4
That's a lot of money. Too much for us to pay.
10320 e-10 Respondent's son was present he was very interested because of his interest in birds
and animals. She was folding clothes while we did the interview but stopped and
became very interested in the subject. Son is 11 or 12.

exposed to from breathing and walking on the beaches. {probe} What type of
contamination would the fish and wildlife have? {RR page 7, see opposite page} {a10a last statement by R} When the fish do come back there's going to be oil and
contamination.
10322 a-12a As far as response time, they'd be there already [sic]. It seems like a decent plan.

{Numbering of statements indicates order in which they were made. My probe (at
bottom) was to reread question at which time R qualified his previous "yes" response
with "if these things...."} {See comment a & e-10} 1.) I'd say I'd probably go for it if
these things guaranteed and forced and laws would be enforced. 2.) One question What would be in place to make sure that all the ships are double-hulled? 3.) What
guarantee do we have that the ships will all be double-hulled within the next 10
years? {Digression} 4.) Who's going to be inspecting and would they be grounded if
not? {probe} [interviewer drew arrow from the end of point number 4 to the middle
of point number one.
It would somewhat insure me that an oil spill would be taken care of. It would lessen
the spread of the oil spill. {probe} They would have a better way to prevent the oil
spills from hitting under water pipes and rocks. {probe} Provide jobs.
{Question} Then again - it's hard to answer that -- What guarantees would we have
that it didn't harm human health?
Before or the next ten years? {The harm shows here - pointing to top of card I}
Possibly. {Digression}
I guess.
The R's numerous comments which indicated to me he was retreating from his
immediate yes answer causing me to repeat question.
R was pleasant and cooperative; although, he had some difficulty articulating the
points he wanted to make and at the all important B-2 response he did not answer the
q sufficiently. He asked good questions of me and told me he has a strong interest in
local politics. He was hesitant in providing income information.
(OS) I think the oil companies should foot the bill for all the damage.
I don't think they could contain an oil spill

10324 b-2
I grew up in California and I want to keep the coastline free of oil spills and 220.00 is
not too much out of total income. {probe} It would make the oil companies more
responsible.
10324 e-5a A-10a Asked how long the beaches have oil on them.

Had a loon in the yard - can't take off without water.

It's always worthwhile to prevent spills and $25.00 is reasonable if the oil companies
pay the rest. {probe} If it's a guaranteed one time cost.

If they're talking about taxing the public to protect the coast, no way Jose. Why
should the taxpayers pay for some private enterprise that screws up? Not only no,
but hell no!
Bullshit! One time tax - {sarcastic} I'm in favor of the program if they cut some
other program. But no more taxes. People are stupid - they will pay for it when they
pump their gas. Sure! {sarcastic}
Not only no, but hell no!
Hell no!
(OS) [All answers circled] All of the above. Taxpayers don't need another expensive
bureaucratic nightmare!
How would I know?
NYOB (He meant NOYB - None of your business)
Hell no!
We're the gov't! Who are they kiddin? The prices are going to go up, regardless of
who pays for it.
R was very cynical and angry about taxes, gov't, and surveys. He was very impatient
with the narrative, though he was nice to me personally.
I don't know why the state should provide it.
That's in another district.
That's a good idea.
I think that would pretty well cover it.
{RR on pg 18} {RR on page 13}
I agree with that. {Referring to cost more than} Oil companies should pay for it.
{RR pg 12 box}
Help protect it. {probe} {probe} {Nothing at either probe} {R indicated that I should
continue.}
{RR 2X} I wouldn't vote against it but I wouldn't vote for it. {probe} {Again R
indicated that I should continue.}
(OS) {RR} {probe} It all depends on whether or not they drill out here, but hauling
that oil in and out is dangerous.
I think you said ten years. {RR pg 12} {probe}{probe}
{R completed 7th grade}
He seemed to connect this harm with potential drilling. He was sure he'd pay for 10
years for the program.
Pet birds chirping thru out. I read very loudly and sometimes was unsure if R heard
everything. When asked he said he had.
If you don't put a good foundation under {long list, kids, houses, etc.} you're going to

I agree. I don't think they make the companies kick in soon enough. If they raise
taxes it happens now. Pull the ones that are not double tanked. They will be
replaced much quicker.
10328 pg9
What about the "seed" while these birds are sick? What does it do to their genetics?
10328 a-10a Well, poisoning the fish and the people eating it? {RR from pg 7} I don't believe the
fish aren't effected.
10328 pg10 {RR on pg 12} How would they know the difference? Does the guide ship go ahead?
You can't see what's underground.
10328 a-12 I fully agree with this. Why hasn't it been put into place until now?

10328 c-1
Because of the greed of the oil company. They aren't happy with $5 billion, they
want $20 billion.
10328 c-3
But it should be the oil companies responsibility.

This figure isn't exact; it's a prediction. It could be 10,000 or 40,000 birds killed.

10331 a-10 I think they should take the barges out of the ocean & transport the stuff by train.
10331 b-4
(OS) I disagree with the program - they're not creating jobs for us, just costing us
money & gas prices will sky rocket. Also why do they have to travel by sea - the
trucking industry & trains would create jobs for people. I think we should stop
worrying about a few thousand birds & worry about human resources.

10333 a-10a Does this have an effect on offshore wells platforms. {probe} No.

Against. I still don't know who the employees will work for, and end of 10 years no
need. I'm not sure that's not true, even with double hull still be problems. and I've
yet to see a state program end, and cost is always higher then they say. {probe} No.

know more about the operation of the program. {probe} no.

Valdez, prior to spill they're estimate would have been different.

It would prevent 12,000 birds from dying. I'm sure it's not just birds. And other
animals too would be saved. They get oil on their fur and can't swim no matter what
they say about them.

10338 b-1
The oil should pay for the whole thing!
10338 b-4

required to pay for the set up fee. We buy insurance in case of an accident on the
road - why shouldn't they pay the fee as their part of insurance against oil spills?

Save the animals. {probe} Those {pointing to book} birds and small animals. I don't
think humans should encroach on wildlife just because we're human. {probe} I think
that's enough. The oil companies should have to pay for all the cleanup.
(OS) I've worked with birds after an oil spill. I think that's just a guess it could be
more.
I would hope [arrow pointing to answer 2 - mostly effective]. I can't picture it being
completely effective.

Since 1987, and I was born here.
Neither. I hate to pay for either one.
IW was conducted within minutes of R arriving home from work. Her cats were
playing nearby.
How successful is it really? The premise that it would prevent otherwise
unpreventable damage makes me in favor. {probe} {probe} That it would lessen the

10357
10357 a-2a Not a good question. Should be a state or federal combined program.
10357 a-10 They are indicating all the spills come from tankers etc. This is not exactly true.
You get leaks in transmission lines from tanks to shoreline. Also from platforms in
the ocean. That's it!
10357 pg10 Where is the source of funds coming from? Coast Guard could do this. They are in
the area and have the available ships. {probe} No.
10357 a-12a How many tankers? - What are the demands - spending a lot of money for multiple
ships - if there are no spills - the way it is paid for is of interest to me. {probe} No go
on 10357 pg12 All expenses? {RQ} They are just offsetting the cost of setting this up. They have no
capital investment in this. I think that is wishful thinking.
10357 b-1
I have trouble with the $5 amount. You need more money from the taxpayer.
{probe} No.
10357 b-4
(OS) I think the cost will be more than $5 per household - significantly more - I don't
think the approach is well thought out even though the issue is a worthy one. I don't
trust the state to be able to handle something that belongs in the hands of federal &
private industry. {probe} No.

(OS) They have given me nothing to go by - How many incidence do we have
annually? I have no idea. Whole thing being built on fear factor. {probe} They are
trying to scare the public. {probe} No.
If an escort ship is with each vessel and we can monitor pipelines from platforms to
storage facilities it could be very effective. Platforms can do just as much damage.
There could have been spills or leaks from these platforms during the earthquakes
that we have not been informed of. {probe} No.
Tried to make me vote for the program. {probe} The fear factor they try and instill.
{probe} The damage of wildlife, etc. {probe} No.
Because it was a poorly conceived study. It doesn't take in all the factors of oil spills
as I stated before. {probe} No.
No history given to it. No real statistics which you could see your exposure factors.
Left out platforms in the ocean and their leakage. Absolutely no basis for $5 cost
given. {probe} No.
Not birds, just sea life. Whales, porpoises.
This state is over taxed at this point. The taxes are driving businesses from
California.
It is difficult to have a lot of confidence at this time.
This R very interested in subject. Spoke slowly and distinctly so I could write
everything he said. R feels that there is more involved in spills than ones from ships,
i.e. leakage in pipelines, etc. Also R against anymore added taxes of any amount
since businesses and people are leaving the state now to find areas more concerned
about people expenditures and business incentives.
You said 1 year.

I don't think it's necessary.
(OS) I can't see taxing the state when the federal gov't will implement the program
anyway. We have a lot of problems that are much more important. State
bureaucracy would eat so much of that money that very little would go to the
program.
It's irrelevant!

But I've been on all of them.
10380 pg10 That's not the way to go.
10380 a-12 That's good as far as it goes. But they don't need these.
10380 b-1
If there's no proper alternative to that then I'd vote for it. But that's not needed. They
need a sonar device that tells you of objects in a particular distance. And a
technician that's sober to monitor it. They have the technology now - they could put
those on all of the ships. It probably wouldn't cost any more than that escort ship
program. {RQ} But only if the sonar system doesn't work or can't be done.
10380 b-2
Actually, it's not that serious, the way you explained it. But I'm for preserving
wildlife, those birds take a while to recover, it takes kerosene to get the oil off of
them. {probe} It's worth it just to keep the oil off the beach, $120 isn't that bad.
{probe}
10380 b-3
Anything to help the wildlife.
10380 c-1
I think worse, as more people come and more oil is shipped.

10380 c-4
The cost of gas will go up, though, that will bother me more than the $120.

I'd like to see their prospective, though before it came to a real vote. They should
consult with engineers for a better plan, first

Sometimes.

10380 d-17 Politics and I don't get along.
10380 e-10 R was talkative and very interested in the IW. He felt there should be a different way
to handle the problem, and only if that wouldn't work would he be in favor of this
prevention program.

About the correct amount.
From the way I understood it M.E., but not completely.
I live on Discovery, Nova and the learning channel.
That ones a tough one.
You've covered it well.
(OS) $25 could be spent for issues I care about. {probe} I don't care about this issue.

10383 e-10
10384
10384 a-10a What about the porpos [sic] and seals that don't get away in time? You're not
covering all of the damage caused by spills.
10384 a-12 I've seen documentary on the ones up north in Oregon. I know how this works.
10384 pg12 And the cost would be passed down to the consumers.
10384 b-4
(OS) I don't feel I want to pay more taxes. {probe} There are more human programs
that have been cut which should be restored before the oil spill program.
10384 c-6a Downplayed the cost of the programs. You're saying the oil companies would pay
for running the program when actually we'd be paying because they would pass the
cost down to us {A/E} {probe} It probably will cost more than originally estimated. $
If you set the estimated cost as high as you did, no one will vote for the program.
{probe}
10384 e-10 I couldn't get a good answer for C6A. The R worked for Human Resources and felt
human programs have been cut in the past and those cuts should be reversed before
he would want to pay more taxes.

oil companies should pay it.
{R refused}.
The R was anxious to have interview done quickly because she is going out of town
on business tomorrow, but I felt she was attentive and considered in her judgement
[sic].
I'd like to know where the statistics came from - the accountability of statements. I
believe there is bias in what you read. {probe} I think arguments is leaning toward
the position that it is not serious. {probe} The harm caused by oil spills.
I think prevention is better than intervention and the minimal cost provides maximum
protection of our shore. {probe} It would guarantee to watch over the ships carrying
oil.

skimmers clean up all the oil. {probe} No.

detained and couldn't reach her by phone. Nevertheless, on page 12, we were
interrupted by an angry neighbor complaining about R's child, at which time, R
became visibly upset. Suggesting we take a break or postpone, she insisted we
continue after a very short time. After this incident, R was quite distracted;
consequently, I reread and repeated more often the questions and narrative. Note at
B-2, R had difficulty - even with probing. My sense is that she did find IW
interesting but with the upset that occurred focusing on the Q'airre became difficult.

A little.
{Brief interruption - R's 2 year old}.
How do these spills affect people?
Just the question I asked. {probe} {Reference to q above (A-10A)}
Somewhere in there does it say how much this will cost? {probe}
Right now I'm just thinking of what oil spills have done in the past and the human
aspect.
I'd have to know what it meant to me first before I could make that determination.
Because I don't know how it would impact me right now. {probe} Because I don't
know is it a danger to people or just the wildlife you showed me. {probe} No.
(OS) I don't have enough information to make that decision - Read again. {probe}
Still the same - it's not important to me now - It's not that theses wildlife aren't
important - I mean they're not going to be extinct.
A one-time thing.
Pacific Coast Highway? {Q by Q} I've not driven myself but I've been driven.
Probably.
{D-8 since Q is self-explanatory deducted the 3 years mentioned i.e., 24-3=21} I've
been a resident for 24 years but lived outside California for 3 years when I was in the
navy.
To be honest if I don't get information about what this means to me.
Higher prices on oil or gas? {probe}
R was pleasant & quite willing to IW right away even though she'd had a day full of
exams (She's a nursing student) and a rambunctious 3 yr. old at home who sometimes
interrupted the flow. She was gracious & seemed very interested in study topic;
however, as she stated her main concern was human health & with out that aspect
being addressed in study instrument she was unwilling to commit to a yes vote.
My husband would cancel my vote.
I think any way we can protect our ocean is important, we get fish from the ocean &
we are destroying our plant. The ships should all have double hulls sooner than 10
yrs. They can afford it. The company should be responsible. {probe} No.
The key word is suppose. I'm a fish eater.
They're always sad.
My husband is in building & our economy is not getting any better.
R really thought out all of her answers throughout the questionnaire. She was very
interested in the subject of survey.
(OS) Money on other problems instead. {probe} Education, schools. {probe} Crime
prevention.
Is there any other choices? {RR}

glad they are asking for her opinion.

recovery rate is not that great. It's, I feel we have so many pressing areas money
could be spent. We are talking about a small area that serves a small population.
10423 pg13 Exactly.

looking out of state & take jobs away. We need a strong middle class.

how if feel that the state needs to be more business friendly. Businesses need to keep

10425 b-2
I do enjoy going to beaches and as things are now I wouldn't feel safe going deep
into the water - well, if there was a lot of oil, it would be very unhealthy. {probe}
{For specifics}.
10425 e-10 No.
10426
10426 b-2
It would clean up the oil before it would have a chance to affect anything. I wouldn't
kill birds or other wildlife - because they would clean up the oil right away. {probe}
10426 e-10 None that I can think of now.
10427
10427 b-2
First of all if it will save all the wildlife it's worth it. {probe} Also the oil would

It's very important to protect birds & sealife. It could be more than 12,000 birds be
destroyed. {probe} this program would help stop that.

sewage & that's how we were familiar with the bay. They can build a pipeline all the
way down to Calif.

Aside from these mini spills that we are having are the [illegible]. It would possibly
prevent a spill of catastrophic measures. {probe} Would not following those ships
down prevent those ships from hitting rocks or something like that. It's always going
to cost the taxpayer something.
$25 once is not a large sum. (These spills) It destroys for years the beauty of the
beaches where people can get out and enjoy nature.
That's a good question.

She doesn't want anymore taxes.
Older lady - went to door wide open - wouldn't answer for quiet awhile [sic]. Finally
came to do, appeared dazed. Hard of hearing - had to talk loud. All she knows is no
more taxes.
This is stupid. There are so many other important things than oil spills.
They want to spend money to stop oil spills there are more important issues to spend
money on.
I am not against saving trees, etc. but as far as oil spills I think it is not necessary.
I don't think we should pay for this at all.
Just stated she did not think oil spills were much of a threat to wildlife.
This R hesitant to participate, but agreed. Finally R felt very strongly about her no
vote on the added tax.
It would protect the environment & create jobs. By this I mean set up ports, build
ships, man the ports, man the ships. {probe} No.
R interested in study said his yes vote would create jobs here which is important to
this part of the state.
As far as I'm concerned not worth it!
My husband would not want me to tell our income.
I would prefer not to pay for them.
Since husband (selected R) unable physically to be interviewed. Wife became
selected R. R refused financial information because she said her husband would
never allow that. Nice lady - pleased that we wanted to interview her.
10452
10452 a-10a I would like to know if there is an alternate way to transport this oil. {probe} I don't
think that double hulls will completely eliminate future spills. {probe} No.
10452 a-12a There is no reason in the world why the tankers can not pay for the escort ships and
the skimmer. {probe} No.
10452 pg13 The cost is a keg thing to me.

Protect the environment. {probe} I don't like to see birds killed. {probe} No.

you don't pay.

Save life. {probe} Life of the birds and other creatures who are in it. {probe}
Depends entirely on how it is handled. You have no guarantee it would be done the
way you say it would. Depends on who is doing it.
This 92 yr. old was living alone still goes a lot very interesting to talk to ex school
teacher still looking for a mate.
Doesn't make any difference. I don't pay any.
They would do that for all the mex.
I don't pay any income tax. I don't have enough income to live but my kids would
probably pay it for me.
That oil is awful. I'd do anything to keep this from happening. I've seen those poor
birds covered with oil. {probe}

R is a married white female in her early 40's. She was very attentive, but made few
comments during the IW. She had been hesitant to give out her phone number as her
husband is a criminal investigator & the phone is unlisted.
I eat a lot of fish. {probe} It would protect the birds and the sea animals and salt
water plants - the one in the picture - I use the kelp for different things - we eat kelp
and use it as a garnish.
Although respondent "stood me up" and was difficult to find at home, her reasons
were legitimate. She seemed to really enjoy doing the interview.
I don't pay any taxes - I'm on a limited income.
Life is precious to any animal just like it is precious to us.
I believe the oil companies should pay all the cost.
We live on a limited income.
Circumstances prevented me from going through the 8th grade. {probe} I had 3 yrs.
of school.
It's the responsibility for businesses to pay. {probe} People on fixed income don't
afford to pay for this.
Respondent enjoyed interview. At first wife was angry that he let me in, but when
she saw interview was legitimate, "apologized" by bringing me a cold glass of apple
juice.
Oh, so that's what this is about.
(OS) When our tax dollars stop paying for abortions I would than be willing to pay
for oil spills to protect our wildlife. {probe} No.
Sounds like I am contradicting my self. This is a big problem, but abortion funding

Who do they hope to achieve from this? How are they going to use this information?
The selected R's other roommates filtered in and out of the room causing little to no
distractions occasionally listening but making no comments.
In relation to what.
Whose gonna use it, they're not.
Is this a new program?
I'm sort of surprised that the numbers aren't larger than that.
Who did this study? What have there scientists based their studies on.
Would this be a state run program? Would all oil tankers have an escort ship? Has
this been proven successful in other states? What did yo say about double hulls?
Are accidents reduced with double hulls? So this program has a finite end?
Would it be for one time?
For that amount, the $65, it is worthwhile. It doesn't sound like a large number of
wildlife but if those were humans that would be alarming. {probe} Those would be
aesthetic costs that would affect tourism and enjoyment of the coastline. {probe} No.
(OS) I couldn't take an educated guess. I'm lost. Hard to judge.
Preventing?
I wish they'd qualify those more.
How many times are we going to see this?
You can't do both?
What is going to happen with this information? How are they going to use it? Why
did they hire a company from out of state to collect this information?
Not a difficulty as much as a dispute of the law amount of harm expected to be
caused by oil spills over the next ten years.
Selected R continued her work of painting ceramic cups while a conducted the
interview. She shifted her attention back and forth between the cups and the study.
They do that at Long Beach don't they? I did a report on that about the toxicology of
that area. I didn't know supertankers went to San Francisco.
Are rocky shorelines the hardest to spills to clean up [sic]?
Not so much the birds as the invertebrates.
I kind of disagree with fish not being affected. I can see the whales, and dolphins as
well as seals being mobile.

There's more loons than gulls? I thought there were more damn seagulls.
10482 a-10a That's speculating that the oil spill will happen on the rocky shore, right? The cause
& effect is different on different kinds of shoreline. I hope the double hulls don't
mean that the amount to tanker traffic will increase. I'm real concerned about putting
oil derricks out there.
10482 pg10 It's a damn good idea. I used to work for an oil spill prevention company. If the
tankers are out there, they ought to carry their own equipment to skirt the oil of it
spills.
10482 a-12 This is an excellent idea. The bloody oil companies can certainly afford it, and I
hope they pay through the nose for it. And I don't want our gas prices to go up.
10482 pg12 Why not? They should be required! Just put it on the ballot!
10482 b-1
That might be a hell of a lot of money for just 0 years. Why stop after 10 years?
And didn't the Exxon Valdez have a double hull? This should be in effect all the
time. F--- - if I could spend $220 and nail the oil companies to make them pay for
the upkeep. I'd do it in a minute. I've been on Exxon tankers - they have plenty of
room on deck to carry oil booms, and skimmers.
10482 b-2
Ensure that the coastline is kept clean & oil free. And the ocean is an untapped
resource - we can't abuse it. And I like seafood. It's nice to go to the beach, or
fishing, & not see f---in' crap & oil all over the sand. {probe} It would make the oil
companies spend their own profits on keeping the ocean clean. The oil companies
are just like the damn tobacco companies - big profits.
10482 c-1
I'd be leery of those numbers. Not every seal or abalone or sea otter is going to take
off when the oil is spilled. That's a trick question.
10482 c-2
Birds ain't my favorite animal. The ratio between those killed & those left isn't that

interview was frequently punctuated by our laughter.
10484
10484 pg3
Will they tell me what area?
10484 pg4
I didn't know about that - they're even closer to shore (than I thought). The
supertankers have double hulls - do the barges?
10484
10484 a-8
I do a lot of fishin'. I'm pretty much outdoors.
10484 pg6
Not unless the oil kills 'em!
10484 pg7
Everything that the birds ar going to eat - & then it goes down the food chain. I kind
of find that hard to believe. Anchovies, whatever is close to shore - they can't all
leave.
10484 pg9
But they don't know how much oil will be spilled.
10484 a-10a How far the oil goes down into the sediment, where the clams & mussels live. How
toxic is it? Does it dissipate, or just keep traveling further & further? Cleaning the
rocks, like they did with the Valdez, is just cosmetic.
10484 pg11 They have something that's better than that. I saw on the Discovery Channel where
they have a giant bag that the oil gets pumped into. Then the bag, which has
contained the oil before it leaks out, can be towed separately.

Oh, OK - I like that idea. But if there is a big spill, then is the ship owner
responsible, or would the cost be split with the taxpayers? If they are negligent, they
should pay the costs of their actions.
$65 to save the wildlife for your grandkids isn't much.
Make the major oil companies responsible for their actions. They take too many
chances to make a buck. It's over responsibility as humans of the race to take care of
wildlife. {probe} It would put more pressure on the oil companies to not make the
mess like they did with the Valdez. The prevention centers will be there, so the
response time will be shorter.
No.
Such as?
Is that mandatory? Are they enforcing it?
That's really a shame. I have a saltwater tank, & I love all these little saltwater
creatures. It's really sad.
Protecting the environment more. We're beach people, & we love to go down to the
beach. {probe} How fast they can clean up the oil spill.
{phone refused}.
R was in a hurry, having just come home & anxious to get dinner ready, etc. She
was extremely reluctant to do the interview, but as it progressed she became more
interested. I felt I had to hurry to deep her happy, so it was somewhat fast paced.
Well, I like the fact that the escort boats would escort the tankers and prevent birds
from harm. {probe} And it's cleaning up the oil.
None.

be just like the one in Washington?
10487 b-2
It protects and keeps the oil from spilling as far as the wildlife & plant life is
concerned. I'm concerned about the environment - I've seen pictures of what oil
spills do and $5 is a small amount to pay. {probe} No.
10487 e-10 R, a school counselor helping disadvantaged student, IW'd in her busy office. She
was very attentive and stayed with the IW in spite of periodic interruptions, i.e., state
officials coming to monitor school programs for which she is responsible.

(OS) Let the oil companies pay for it - they did the damage - We're all taxed out now.
{probe} No.
10488 e-10 R, very reluctant to give any info about herself & husband, finally sat down to give
IW with him at her side - Before answering all Q's, she checked w/ him for his
opinion, and then confirmed it with the same opinion from herself. It was a very
touchy situation to remove him from the picture.

Elderly lady, recovering from vehicle accident a few years ago in which husband was
killed. Listened attentively - very concerned about oil companies being penalized.
I live in Eureka.
I don't think it's all the state's responsibility.
I don't think this is an A, B, C answer. I have mixed feelings.
1996 or 1995? I would probably vote for it. I would vote for if everything was well
thought out. How many people will be employed? Who has the responsibility of
maintaining the center? Who is paying the salaries? It is good for putting people
back to work where the state doesn't have to pay for it. That would help the area
around that area for creating more jobs. Have they thought about what they would
do with the facilities after the 10 years?
It would provide jobs and protect the environment but the environment doesn't sound
like the main reason or purpose for this program. {probe} No nothing else.
They shouldn't just leave it there. I know they'll probably sell the ships but what
about the buildings?
Now that I know what it is about and what it will do.
The businesses that are affected. Businesses that are responsible for environmental
damage should pay.
It's good that there are groups like university scientist and the state are studying this
and cooperating with each other instead of just blindly setting up this program.
But why can't the ships go out further? It would save the taxpayers money.
(OS) I don't see why the taxpayers should pay to clean up the oil companies spills Why they don't go out further? If there are roads we can't travel on, we don't if
they're harmful to us - they should do the same thing - They're the ones making the
billions of dollars. {probe} No.
{RQ}
R is a physical trainer and was very interested in IW - He was home on his lunch
hour.
To let my kids enjoy the coastal waters like I have and I [illegible] continue enjoying
them for - that's where we go when we go out of town. {probe} Just to keep the earth
clean. {probe} No.
R, a tow truck office manager, IW'd in his office between radio calls - he gave his
full attention to the IW and was very sincere & pleasant.

10493 a-10a Because of the oil spills, are these birds expected to die? More than normal?
{probe} No.

Because then we would have it there. I would hope that we didn't have to use (the
program). {probe} It helps prevent oil spills. I am a fisherman and oil spills put us in
jeopardy.

That the state of California should? Somebody should but I'm not sure it's the states
job.
10498 a-10a Who conducted the study for this information? Who funded the study? How do
there figures compare to the total losses. It is hard to tell where the bias is with out
seeing the study.
10498 a-12a Who runs the management of the escort ship? What kind of labor pool are they
drawing from. How many unemployed will this put to work? If they pay for running
it who makes the decisions? Are you going to talk about the cost of the building
ships? Are those exact locations for the centers?
10498 b-4
(OS) I think it is the responsibility of the oil companies to be responsible for their
environmental impact. Unless this was set up to employ a significant amount of
people resulting in reduced welfare recipients. I think this would be better set up by
private enterprise. I love birds and wildlife and we belong to Surfriders Association
so we do care.
10498 c-1
I don't know. I haven't seen the studies. It's hard to project without seeing the
variables in the study.
10498 c-3
Does that mean every tanker would have an escort ship. I don't think is fully
affective when dealing with mother nature.
10498 c-5
I'm still skeptical about the numbers and harm. I have a suspicion that this has oil
company [bras] in it. Because the numbers are so minimal. I'm not convinced that
the numbers are accurate.

10498 e-10 Daughter was present in adjoining room but made no comments during the course of

10499 a-1d We need to do that.
10499 a-2

10499 a-2b People need a place to live.
10499 a-2e They should spend more up here.
10499 a-2f They have enough of that.

We are on a fixed income. He's on social security and so I'm, We don't need this

You move out because it's impossible to reduce.
We have to do that.
I've done that professionally.
I've heard of the murre.
Optimistic guesstimate in my case.
There are many indigenous that have small ranges and there are many interactions
within the food chain. From what you've told me this is not being inventoried. Why
aren't they inventoried such as a species of mail?
10500 a-12a Is it going to be funded privately or publicly? How many tankers are we dealing
with? Has this worked else (this program) where?
10500 pg12 Did you say each household?
10500 b-2
The $5 is a relative insignificant tax increase to do anything. {probe} I treasure the
natural environment and see it under assault. {probe} Anything we can do to
pressure the natural environment is worth the expenditure of public movies. {probe}
This looks like a quick response using good technology to lessen the impact of the
spill.
10500 c-2
I'm working on the assumption that the harm is more than this. But in the overall
scheme of things, of the harm here is not too serious. But overall this is a serious

10500 c-4

It encourages my own decision. Because I'm such a cynic. I'm trying to figure out
the source of this. It's not green enough to be green and not black enough to be oil.
10500 d-15 I'm real skeptical of that $5. Nothing costs $5.
10500 d-16 This particular program? I would like to pay through prices. Other programs I
would pay through taxes. This seems to be commercial industry linked program.
There's such a wide range of environmental programs. Some should be user funded
others are in the best interest of the public such as Sanctuary Forest.
10500 d-17 Things like pollution control should be industry funded. Is this an actual program or
academic exercise? They should have this on all parts of the coast - This part of the
coast is a real treasure.
10501
10501 pg4
And oil get on them?
10501 pg5
Now they're running into submarines. The gray is the rocks? It's a lot of rocks. We
wouldn't want oil dumped there. What would you do about that?

Is this thing of yours to fight the oil tankers?
10501 a-10 That's an awful lot of birds killed.
10501 pg10 They'd tax us for it? What's a hull?
10501 pg12 That'd be a big amount, wouldn't it?

R understood most of the narrative, but occasionally she wasn't clear about the info.
At A-13 she was confused at first about who would pay for the prevention centers.
She understood the gist of the interview, but the details were more difficult for her.
10503
10503 a-10a Did you mention seals? And, when they had the big spill in Alaska, they had a
chemical to break down the oil. Do they put that in the water?
10503 a-12a The escort ship - is it that they are more familiar with the coastline? Why isn't the
tanker able to navigate by itself?
10503 b-1
First, do you know how many spills there have been there over the last 5 or 10 years?
I'd probably vote against it, because I don't have enough information.
10503 b-4
(OS) I need more info. but I work for an environment cleanup company, so I hear
about these things all the time. If it happened just once in 10 years, it might not be as
cost effective than if the area is a high risk area.
10503 c-3
There should be more responsibility on the part of the people who own the tankers, to
navigate where they're going.
10503 e-10 No.
10504
10504 pg6
That's not accurate. There are lots more of seagulls than that. How recent are these
numbers?
10504 b-4
(OS) If the oil company would pick up the tax. I'd be for it. I don't think the
taxpayers should pay for it. {probe}
10504 c-6a Kept showing me pictures of the birds that would be killed. {probe} No.
10504 e-10 This interview was rushed. R was initially very suspicious about how he was
selected. And, he had just walked in the door, and was eating before he ran out the
door again. He told me I had 20 minutes and that's all. He was very impatient and
silently hostile at first, and wouldn't sit down - he ate standing up, & barked answers
to A-1 & A-2. However, he then sat down after A-2, and gradually settled down, but
I still felt pressured to complete the interview ASAP.
10505
10505 a-1f Tell those big guys to cut their wages. Write that down!
10505 pg3
I wonder.
10505 pg5
I've never heard of too many spills there - spills have been mostly in LA & SF &
Alaska. I like crabs. Shame on these people. The oil kills most of the fish &
poisons people. I wouldn't want to see it not cleaned up. You've got to save the
ocean, or else you have nothing.
10505 pg6
It's a shame, really. They should clean up the oil.
10505 pg8
Do they have to wait all those years? Why wait so long? Why wait 10 years? There
won't be any fish left in 10 years. They better do it now.
10505 a-10a How about all those other birds - mudhens & other - that we saw on TV when there
was an oil spill? People had to clean them up.
10505 pg11 Yeah - that's a good idea. I don't mind if they spend my money on that.
10505 pg13 I'd vote for it.
10505 pg14 Oh, dear! {laughing} I'm sure I could afford $5.
10505 b-2
It would keep the ocean clean, & save the birds & the fish. {probe} Keep the ocean
clean. At least they wouldn't have all the oil in the water. Besides , then I could eat
crab more often {laughing}.
10505 d-15 They want me to vote no - I can read their mind.
10505 e-10 R's husband was present during the interview, & he had promised me that he would
not say anything during the interview. But at one point he interrupted to ask how
401251978
73
6/21/2016 6:44:00 AM
much it would cost, and when it came time to vote, he expressed his opposition to the
program, and tried to persuade his wife to vote against it. They got into an argument
about it, and she said that she was in favor of the program, and that I was
interviewing her not him. He was disgusted with her vote and the program, calling it
a sham, but she stuck by her guns. Also, on D-11, I think that R misunderstood the
question; I believe that they are both retired, and that neither of them work for pay. I
could be wrong.
10506
10506 a-10a Who pays for it! The clean-up.
10506 a-12a Who pays & what cost? What % of the oil gets cleaned up.
10506 b-2
Prevent pollution. {probe} Preserving the integrity of the area for enjoyment and use.
Preventing the deaths of sea creatures. {probe} That's it.

program like this. {probe} {Specifics}.

10508
10508 a-1e The oil people should be responsible.
10508 pg8

10508 a-10a How does it affect the economy, and the cities?
10508 b-4
(OS) I don't feel that it's the taxpayers' responsibility. and, after the 10 years, what's
going to happen to all that expensive equipment? And, the oil companies will charge
more. And our tax dollars should go for other things.
10508 d-18 {Name only}.
10508 e-10 After the interview, R told me he felt guilty about not voting for the program. He
explained that he is in favor of protecting the coastline, but he doesn't understand
why the gov't or taxpayers should be involved in a problem which is the
responsibility of the oil companies.
10509
10509 b-2
It might help to deep the shorelines a little bit cleaner. {probe} No - but I think
having the double hulls is a good idea. {probe} No.
10509 e-5a It seemed he thought the prevention program also had to do with the enforcement
program of having the ships to have double hulls.
10509 e-10 R is a truck driver who hauls oil over the mountains to the refineries. He was jovial
and very pleasant.
10510
10510 a-1d Tricky one.
10510 a-10 No, but I don't agree with this. It's far more devastating. Where did you get your
facts?
10510 pg11 I know about it - I saw something on T.V. What about oil eating micros - Double
hull are O.K. but most freighters are foreign.

worthiness, see that the welds are O.K. {probe} {Specifics}

Respondent has horses, dogs, birds, and several other animals. He does love animals

can save the birds or animals it is worthwhile even if they aren't endangered. {probe}
No.

Keep the beaches clean so people can walk barefoot.

No.
We always go to the coast.

This man was very hard at hearing - but he understood what I was asking him - just

It's very difficult to realize the value of a sea anemone - I'm sure it's important in the

Seems like a lot of expense for 10 years. It's going to rectify itself anyway. {probe}
No.
12,000 birds is not money, lots of things can kill birds. It isn't just oil spills.
(OS) I think there is other things they should concentrate on. It's going to rectify

involved all pay for this program. {probe} Exactly how much will the oil companies
be paying. I make $15.00 hr. and they make billions. I am the banker and I am

should have to come up with some money too. Just because I like birds - I shouldn't
be made to pay $25.
d-17 They are affecting us very much. {probe} good people are forced to move out of the
state. Either the money is mismanaged because this is a large state. {probe} I

For the next ten years I thought.
It's a tough one.

Have the beaches cleaner, the water cleaner, the atmosphere would be better. Our

species there wouldn't go extinct and it would be a cleaner environment for the birds
and for us. {probe} That's about it.

near - foolproof - that would be reason enough. {probe} Not only saving those
animals, but also preventing harm to the environment itself. {probe} The beaches are

During the interview, R frequently looked skeptical & cynical. Afterward, she said
she thought it was ridiculous for the state gov't to spend money on a survey like this.
They approved that!
I believe that the oil co's should pay - But the tax payers have to pay for it - right!
But I believe I shouldn't be stuck with $220 for oil company problems.
I have no idea?!
We haven't had a spill in a long time now!
I believe it will work! It depends on conditions - rain-storms!
We need clean air!
I guess I did get my diploma!
because it will be only one time!

while he did the IW. His wife was in & out of the room & attempted to keep the

(OS) We are already spending way too much already as consumers. It's way out of

That's not relevant to my decision! {RQ} When you fill up your gas with gas you pay
for it as a consumer!
I'm a fisherman - the bureaucracy gets in the way of our enjoyment. {RQ} I get upset
with pollution that's man-made!
R is a married white male in his late 40's. He is an avid fisherman & was upset that
nothing was asked about the ocean offshore that would involve fishing. He felt that
the matter was trivial in comparison to other issues.
They will never do it.
Who started that? That's a bunch B.S. They come up dead all the time.
Help the environment which is in serious trouble. {probe} Help prevent oil spills.
{probe}
Of course it will harm us.
Has a bad connotation right now. Maybe I'm more of a naturalist.
S.P. had a lot to say about how she felt about our environment. She didn't want to
hear all the facts when I first started explained importance of her hearing the pro/con
information so she would know all the facts. She then listened to the story.
What's the bottom line of this?
We are both coastal people. I think you owe something to the people coming up
behind you. If you can do anything to prevent it (oil spills). I'm for it. We had a
wonderful life living at the beach most of our lives. Would like to see the young
people have the same opportunity.
S.P. would have voted yes without the facts he was very upset about condition at the
beaches. At A9 he ask what the bottom line to all this was.

No.

If I knew for sure the politicians wouldn't get their fingers on it. I would like the
politicians to get less pay. {probe} No.
{probe} {probe} That's an odd one, the people transporting a commodity should be
responsible for it's safety. {probe} It would be a cooperative effort between the
people and [transporter] to move this in a safe and equitable manner and not be a

If it's only $65.00 one time. But they say one thing and do another.
Probably more than one year. I know how they are. They get something going and
it keeps going. {probe} no.
I do a lot of speaking about environment.
This R told me when I first got DU that he'd been married 6 times and the police FBI
and CIA were always watching him. He questioned me to be sure I wasn't with any
of those agencies. He took my word looked at badge had letter and sorry card
stapled together. During interview when it was income question he told me the post
office had early retired him. Added he does a lot of public speaking about
environment. Pleasant but odd. You can see I messed up time of ending. Seemed
like I was there forever.
(OS) I think the oil companies should foot the whole bill. {probe} No.
R listened attentively - asked no questions - just made her statement explaining the
way she would vote.

Because of the present time this is the only information. I have no other suggestion.
I would vote for it for the special reason that will protect the environment of the State
of California. {probe} Also in order to save animals, the birds and fish.
Because it is too drastic what could happens to the animals.
I've got a bird book but I can't identify different species of birds.
None.
(OS) I would think they could find the money from tax dollars already. {probe} No,
that's it.
That's all we are discussing is this program. I'm sure if they didn't want the vote they
wouldn't have given me this information. {probe} No.
This R was interested but expressed the opinion that the tax dollars to fund this
program are already available.
But it sounds like they're trying to justify everything.
Clean water - you're not killing all the animals that are in there. I've seen the big oil
spill - I wouldn't want that to happen again. It's disgusting.
People tend to forget we're animals, too. We do what we need to protect ourselves.
(OS) Depends how big the spill is - How many animals are in that location at that
time.
Again, I feel they're trying to justify the killing of animals by the examples they're
giving.

need to know the cost the shipper has to pay vs. the taxpayer. {probe} Too many

thought you might have been pushing me a little to vote against.

it would cost $5.00 only, ever. {probe} No.
d-16 {probe}{probe} Hard decision.
e-5a Wanted to know what is normal death etc. if no spill. What's the difference?
e-10 White male - noticed D-15 last paragraph was a question. He took it as a question
about program. He's afraid oil prices will "sky rocket". He also feels it would be
more than 1 year.

Anything that can be done to prevent harm to birds and other wildlife would get my
vote. I've seen pictures of what happened to the birds after the Alaska spill.
No.
By saving the animals. {probe} The bird and the little ones - sea creatures that you
showed me. {probe} No.
I've lived here for 9 months - I'm from Chicago.
Respondent is an environmentalist - her walls are covered with picture of dolphins,
pandas and other animals. She was enthusiastic about the chance to do survey (expressed after interview was over).
I don't think skimmers would be adequate - I grew up in Louisiana and was in the
Corps of Engineers & I know from 1st hand experiences that skimmers don't work.
I believe that the oil companies will raise the price of gas at the pump to pay for the
expense - this is misleading. {probe} There will be hidden costs at the gas pump.
(OS) I think there are hidden costs and additional regulation will hinder commerce in
California - this is making companies leave Calif - What if an escort ship is late, it
will delay commerce. {probe} The hidden cost is at gas pump & consumers will pay
more than the $5.
Because of the way it was worded - {probe} They say only 1 time for payment of
taxes - there are hidden costs. They will probably need more escort ships.
I don't think the program would work and it's not adequate. {probe} I don't believe it
would prevent spills - just add a layer of regulation & next not adequate to do the
cleaning.

The respondent told me before I started the screener that he was a Pete Wilson man
and against gov't regulation - He only agreed to do the interview when I told him it
was not sponsored by or had anything to do with political parties.
Change that!
We're retired - we can't afford more taxes!
They say one - say one more year & then it's more & more!
We only play tennis!
{R came from Mexico & seemed unsure grade equivalent}.
I really don't know I've never worked. My husband does it all. {Husband walked
into room & R asked him. He gave a [illegible].}
I can't make a good decision now. Who knows what will happen?
Then everyone pays - even the illegals!
Right now? {RQ}
R is a married hispanic female in her early 50's. She has very adamant feelings
against illegal aliens & their use of state tax $. This HH is the 2nd on this street to
say that they had recently been part of a crime survey.
Maybe 4 is better!
{Phone rings R answers.}
{Pen quit & I tried a new one}.
Does it affect us or not? How will it affect us humans?
& this has been used successfully elsewhere? {RR sentence in A-11} Is it completely
effective?
Is this IW only about this subject?
That's how long? {RR sentence}.
The $5 cost! I would have said "no" but for $5 I'll save the birds & that 10 miles of
shoreline. It's worth $5 to put that play into use.
Just what you read to me. {probe} They were minimizing the effects of the spill None are endangered, only 12,000 involved.
Does it matter? {RQ}
R is a married white female in her early 40's. She was pressed for time but consented
to do the IW. She had been involved in a crime study & has had 6 follow up calls.
She is concerned that our study will do that also.
(OS) The money should be used in a different way. {probe} The state is more
interested in animals than people - like abortion education - more babies are killed
than birds!
Needed to ask s-10 & 11.
R is a black female in her late 50's. She was not very talkative but definite in her

10599 a-10a So there's nothing endangered. If all the small animals are killed does it affect any of
the surrounding wildlife?
10599 b-2
Since I live close to the beach and I enjoy going to the beach if an oil spill occurs it
would ruin our enjoyment for awhile, six months, maybe or more it depends how
long I think the water is safe for me to go in.
10599 d-14 Probably.
10601
10601 a-12a No sounds like a good idea but oil companies should be paying for it.
10601 b-1
Although those tax things never come off.
10601 b-2
Prevent damage to the coast. {probe} and the wildlife part of it.
10605
10605 a-10 I have been raised on a farm and realize that some member of a species should be
decreased so the species can keep renewing themselves.
10605 a-12 That's very good but I wonder if there could be seepage from underwater cracks
which would allow oil to seep through along with gases.
10605 b-1
But I think it should go on the property tax and pro-rated over 3 or 4 years - because
a lot of elderly can't afford it.
10605 b-2
It would protect the water, where people use the beaches, as well as the wildlife it
described. Someday we may have to use the seawater. {probe} for drinking and
bathing.

10607 a-2b Just another from of welfare.
10607 box1 Where I come from we call them sea pigeons.
10607 a-12 But I would like to know how much oil is leaked from the off shore rigs that we don't
hear about.
10607 pg13 This is just for 10 miles of shoreline? That's ridiculous.
10607 b-4
(OS) It is not responsible spending of my money. {probe} The cost outweighs the
benefits of this plan. {probe} No.
10607 c-3
To justify the costs -- No way.
10607 c-4
you said it was a one time deal.
10607 d-7
I am an environmentalist but I am not politically active at it.
10607 d-16 Because than I get to choose what I will spend my money on.
10607 e-2
Part Hawaiian, part French.
10607 e-5a Said having lived on & off in Hawaii he stated he didn't think the animals affected
was that large or the prevention program that efficient.
10607 e-10 R very interested in survey. Felt the amount of money stated was outrageous for the
amount of shoreline mentioned.
10608
10608 b-2
Anything that helps fight pollution of the environment, even though it might be
minimal it's worth $5. {probe} It would prevent oil spills from having wildlife.

Stops oil spills. It helps prevent the deaths of small animals, and ruining the
shoreline for our enjoyment.
I don't want higher gas prices.
In C-4 he said he thought he would have to pay for more than 1 year.
His little boy came out a couple of times.
For one thing I don't think they don't have the right to cause harm or suffering to the
wildlife for our own business purposes. {probe} It's a pretty horrible death to be
covered by oil. {probe} Depending on the size of the spill the oil could release many
toxins that would last for a long time. {probe} I'm worried about lasting effects to the
environment that they don't know about yet. {I couldn't probe further}.
Quite possibly it could be...
She wasn't able to give me an adequate response in B-2.
It was done outside in the patio.
There's harm to the animals. {probe} I think the tankers should be charged. {probe}
Prevention is better than to wait for a catastrophe. {probe} {After my last probe she
said that's all. I couldn't probe further. But she did say prevention}.
(OS) A little more.
The fact that her kids were playing may suggest that she had a little difficulty.
In C-4 she said that she thought she would have to pay for more than 1 year.
Her husband and kids were sitting all around us.
For those need it.
Because I don't live there.
I've done report on it for biology class.
But, I'd say the way this is written, & implies the harm is not to important.
Sounds excellent.
Absolutely.
A stitch in time saves time. {probe} By doing this now you prevent the loss of bird
life, and the use of the coastline. Ten years is a long time.
Because the fence is 6 ft above and 8 ft below the surface it would prevent about
90% of harm.
From your report.
By implying that within 10 years their will be the same amount of birds and that their
not endangered your saying it's not to important.
I like to just go and sit.
Working on my B.A.
The govt before sending money to other countries they need to take care of their
own. The welfare should be revised like in other states. Illegal immigration should

We could probably save some time here. I think that all 3 areas are equally
important. Use the unemployed & homeless to clean up the spills - it would solve 2
problems at once.
None of 'em are? Not even shore crabs?
I think it would be a good idea.
Why? All they would do is pass it on to the consumer. Make it their responsibility.
I think it's wrong for 2 reasons - the oil companies ought to pay for it, and double
hulls won't completely solve the problem - they shouldn't stop the program after 10
years.
Keep the spills from becoming too big - catch them fast.
I don't care about birds. I care about a clean environment.
I'd definitely try to push the oil companies to do it. I don't think it's the taxpayer's
responsibility, but somebody has to do it. You're going to pay at the pump, but that's
fine.
R was restless at first, but settled down after a few minutes. At p.5, I thought I was
going to lose the interview.
10623
10623 pg8
I'm in the oil business.
10623 a-12a They are asking me if the program would work?
10623 b-4
(OS) I believe strongly that the money they would need would be a lot more than
$65. The oil companies will raise the gas prices anyway. The program isn't worth it;
they should keep the double hulls, wait for them to be in place.
10623 e-10 R & his wife had just come back from a weekend at the beach. Since he is in the oil
business, I asked him after the interview what he thought would be the best solution
to this problem. He said that either tax credits for the oil companies to accelerate the
double hull program, or else make the oil companies pay for prevention programs &
let them pass the costs along to the consumers.
10624
10624 a-10a How long does it take for the oil to leave the beaches I have been on the beach when
the oil was there.
10624 b-2
I think the fact we are thinking ahead for prevention is good and the cost ($65) is
relatively low for saving the wildlife and keeping our beaches clean. {probe}
10624 c-1
(OS) I really don't know I would probably agree with the figures because that's what
the research shows.
10624 e-10 None.
10625
10625 a-12a Where has it been demonstrated in this environment particularly how effective is it, if
50% then it would be less attractive to me. Also would it slow the ship traffic
waiting for escort?
10625 b-4
(OS) Unknowns are: Start up time, effectiveness, operation costs (what future costs
for oil). Also this is to technical for lay person decision.
10625 c-1
(OS) A bit less.
10625 c-6a Because the economic and effectiveness were not addressed only the positives and
none of the negatives were mentioned.
10625 e-10 None.

6/21/2016 6:44:00 AM
10626 a-10a What happened to the idea that they were supposed to have double hulls from the
beginning? To me, this isn't an alarming amount of birds. What about abalone?
10626 b-1
$5 is nothing, but I've never seen them lift a tax. There's a lot better way to handle it.
They could station 1 or 2 boats on the coast, easily.
10626 b-4
(OS) There's a terrific amount of gov't control on everything that people are so tired
of.
10626 e-10 R was especially outspoken at A-1 & A-2, & spent a lot of time venting her anger. I
circled n/s for some answers where she refused to choose a response; she felt that the
questions were too vague to capture her opinions.
10627
10627 a-10 I've read a lot about it.
10627 b-2
It's important to protect as much wildlife as possible, providing that the cost is
reasonable, and the oil companies are willing to do their share. I figured that the cost
would be more than that. {probe} I've always been interested in conservation.
{probe} No. But the one they had up North caused so much damage & clean-up
costs, it seems to me there should be some safeguards.
10627 e-10 R is a bit hard of hearing, and asked me to repeat some of the questions.
10628
10628 b-1
Is this spread out? {RR above} {overtime}.
10628 b-2
I like the idea of the escort ships just being there to help with what they can't see
from their ships. {referring to the tankers} {probe} {{probe} for specifics}
10628 e-10 We sat opposite each other on musician stools. Showcards on my lap. Difficult to
show both when there were "top & bottom" showcards. No table anywhere in the
room, & R had her under 1 yr. grandchild occupying her hands.
10629
10629 a-2e For LA?
10629 a-2f That's hard. If they did more to help kids they wouldn't need prisons later.
10629 pg7
{RR pg 9}
10629 a-10a What about the crabs and fish? {Rr pg 7}
10629 b-2
I like the idea of having the coastline protected. I don't like to see animals suffer.
The main thing is it's only $5.00. {probe} The escort ships going out with the ability
to contain the oil spill and contain it right away.
10629 e-10 On cement steps at 45.
10630

How do they know? How many birds there are [sic]?
10630 e-10 R was having difficulty reading cards & I read them to him - he was courteous but
not too interested, it appeared, in program - he had difficulty understanding words
like "environment". His teenaged daughter & child sat nearby.
10632
10632 b-5
I like the program but I'd like to know what other programs might be set up to help
humans & compete against it - I'd have to weigh it against other programs. {probe}
No.

be built? That's passed on to us also. I'm concerned about another level of
bureaucracy being set up too.
It's something to try & prevent or manage oil spills. I feel however the $5 would be
lost in the bureaucratic baloney - the costs eventually will be passed on to the
taxpayer by oil increases. {probe} The endangerment to the wildlife and the
endangerment to the industries that make a living from the sea life - also the beaches
- there's so much oil.
On them now, it makes me sick.
None of those let me - but I'm extremely concerned about the environment.
The taxes are also put on businesses so you end up paying more than once.
Very articulate now, concerned about coastal problems but disillusioned about how
money is spent.
How do they run off course? They have to make sure the people have drug testing or
don't fall asleep.
The govt. doesn't always put the money in the right places where it supposed to go $120 is very steep. {probe} But I liked the idea of having the escorts. {probe} No.
There's 2 in our household - that's $240?
Nothing is 100% effective.

the Exxon Valdez is not cleaned up yet. My question is: does this card represent
critical thinking by scholars, or is this from the oil companies?

I don't believe it should be a flat tax. {probe} An alternative would be an assessment
at the pump.
My gut instinct says that the oil companies are behind this. {probe} The wording of
the questions. {probe} The small statistics on the amount of wildlife killed.
No.
Is there one more than 5?
At least.
At least.
That would be nice but there are more important things.
I'd rather they take care of people.
I don't give a damn about Los Angeles.
I'd rather spend money on education and jobs.
I don't know enough about it.
That would be a hard one.
(OS) Probably all of the above. I'm very much more interested in social issues than
environmental issues. I do see a need for environmental issues but social issues at
this point are much more urgent. {probe}
Before you told me?
Pretty serious. I don't think it will be just the plants and animals that would be
harmed.
It sounds like it would be effective.
You said one time.
Your slant of the survey is not in favor of the program.
Because I don't have cable. If I did I would watch them more often.
Environmental issues concern me but other things are in need of so much more
attention these days therefore that's where my focus is.
I'm retired or semi-retired.
It depends on whatever else is going on. Again I'd rather spend my money on social
issues.
Either way I get stuck.

Sea Anemones.
10643 a-10a I would like to know if, it the oil would go into the soil and affect the microorganism
causing longer term effects? What about the animals we don't see? What about the
integrity of the soil and microorganism that we all depend on? All these birds are top
feeders. High in the food chain. Where does the oil go, it just doesn't disappear.
10643 a-12 It looks pretty clear to me. That sounds good.
10643 pg12 So every ship would have an escort ship.
10643 b-2
Save our coastline which I think is very valuable. {probe} It would provide jobs for
people to work at the three stations. I believe working in the environment is good for
them. {probe} I want my children to experience healthy coastlines - Jobs in the
environment are the future and we have a lot of work to do their. We need to take
care of our land, water, air or we are going to die.
10643 b-3
Humans are not so important. We are all interconnected. They have just as much
right to be here as we do.
10643 c-1
Because of the soil and microorganisms.
10643 c-2
According to this and based on this information.
10643 c-3
You can't have anything completely.
10643 c-4
What are long term affects? Have they really looked into the integrity of these birds?
Even if they are not endangered they could be. Don't we lose a species everyday.
10643 d-17 {Chuckles - breaks into hysterical laughter} {Face turns blush red}.
10643 e-10 Ideal interview situation.
10645
10645 a-2f It's a catch 22 situation. If we don't build new prisons then we'll have more criminals
on the street. Rapid severe public punishment is the answer.
10645 a-12a Just cost.
10645 b-4
(OS) I do not believe in the integrity of one time taxes. {probe} I'm not familiar with
how often a special interest tax is imposed but I dislike the precedent this type of
taxation sets. We normally pay taxes which are put into a pool to spend but this
bypasses that process, it circumvents representative government. {probe}
10645 c-1
(OS) I have no information in which to base an intelligent estimate.
10645 c-2
Based on the competing attention of all the social difficulties.
10645 c-4

was not objective.
10645 d-7
If Judi Bari is as foul as they say she is she'd be one. And the Exxon Valdez captain
is a 5, then I'm a number 3. We recycle and enjoy nature but the word
environmentalist has gotten negative connotations.
10645 d-16 That puts my $ dollars back in my hand and I can shop for better prices. Taxation
puts money in the governments hands and I don't agree with their priorities.

I thought the oil just floated on top. I didn't realize clams were affected.
Is this ten years projection of harm based on the last ten years of harm?
Prevention response centers are what?
Don't these tankers have depth gauges to tell that, how are these escort going to be of
any help? This will cost billions of dollars.
10646 a-12a How do they connect it (the fence)? Is it easy to do in rough seas? How many jobs
will this provide? How much will it cost per ship?
10646 pg12 Where are these stations going to be? Where is this middle one near, what town?
Would it be mandated? Are other states using this? Is Washington having trouble
getting oil tankers to use their refinery?
10646
10646 b-1
That doesn't sound like very much. I would never vote for something knowing this
much information. I'm leery of any kind of tax. But it sounds viable. If someone
has an idea of training the unemployed in California I'd vote for that instead of this.
I'm more for people having a good living.
10646 b-2
Prevent the unnecessary death of wildlife. {probe} Shore and ocean wildlife, birds,

10646 c-1

When you showed the pictures of the birds and oil I thought this was going to be

The term environmentalist has been so misconstrued. In the true sense of the
dictionary meaning. I would say I'm a strong environmentalist.
10646 d-15 To me $5 is not that much money. It always seems something else arises. If it were
never to go above $5 I wouldn't vote for it.
10646 d-16 What's the difference? Which way dispersed it more evenly? I'm not for many
environmental programs. This one is O.K. with me because this is only $5.

10646 e-10 A few minor interruptions by the selected R's kids. Selected R refused to give her

alive. {probe} No.
10649 e-10 R was reticent during entire IW. Additionally he was reluctant to do the IW but
agreed when I asked him why there'd been another broken appt. His only comment
was "I've been working a lot". I also inquired as to why it seemed that his employer
did not know who he was when I telephoned. His response was that they were Asian
and we do have only his explanation for this oddity.

is too much for that amount of time.
The apartment is small and 3 toddlers were running around that did distract
respondent somewhat.
10652
10652 a-12a How much is this going to cst?
10652 b-4
(OS) Because there is other things that the state can require them to do. The escort
ships would cost 3 to 5 million a piece. I know for a fact that barges are required to
have what you call a sea fence on board barges. My father-in-law owned barges and
I have worked on them. There is other things that oil companies can be required to
do in the meantime or for the ten years. {probe} No that's it! There is less
inexpensive ways to handle this.
10652 c-2
Depends on the spill. Some can be very serious. Most somewhat serious!
10652 e-10 Respondent is in the alternative fuel business and in-laws own barge company. Has

10654 a-10a What are the steps that they took along the LA and San Francisco area?
10654 b-4
(OS) [Answer 2 & 3 circled] I think oil companies should be responsible for their
drivers of the ships. {probe} No if the escort ships find better way so can the tankers
and barges [sic]. Give them maps or something.
10654 c-3
The whole process can be based on human error so nothing can be completely
effective.
10654 d-16 Broken up between both and drill more for oil here in our own country.
10654 e-10 There was 3 school age daughters present because they are so interested in birds.

{probe} No.
10655 a-10a Is there any other way the oil can be carried?
10655 b-4
(OS) I feel the oil companies should be legally held to set up this program. Plus feel
that in ten years it will be gone and it's not worth spending that much money. It will
take that long almost to set it up. And then it's gone. {probe} No.
10655 e-10 He husband was present during interview. He kept making comments but respondent
kept telling him that it was her interview. Although it was her husband who
encouraged her to do the interview.
10656
10656 a-10 It's gonna be harmful.
10656 b-2
Keep the beaches & shoreline from harm. {probe} Any further harm from oil to the
animals & water. {probe} All the reasons you gave. {probe} No.

To protect the birds and animals. Any time you disturb the ecology it takes a long
time to recover. {probe} It would protect the ecology and environment on the
Central Coast even if it is only for the ten years.
I go with my son who does a lot of deep see fishing. He is also a diver.
I'm retired and on a fixed income.
Respondent is retired. Her son was visiting to help her with some work around the
house. He did come over to listen when he heard the subject as he does a lot of
diving along the Central Coast. But I don't feel he had any affect on her vote, other
than her son knowing of the problems of oil spills.
Very extremely important.
No marsh.
I like the outdoors. {probe} I like birds. {probe} I love the water & beach. {probe}
For the future of the kids so they can learn about birds & fish. {probe} No. {I could
not get this woman to be specific about this programs benefits - after 4 probes, I gave
up.}
It's a start.
I hadn't thought about. {probe} more than one year. It's a good price to pay.
And fish. My son likes to identify fish especially.
Maybe more.
9th grade.
Not much of an ounthologist.
It would keep that coastline free of pollution from oil spills. {probe} No.
Because of all different bonds & funds.
{probe}
The R had some trouble seeing the graphics, but I showed them to here & she was
very knowledgeable about the oil spill problem.
I like the idea of having immediate response of the escort ship. {probe} Instead of
having to wait two days for them to get there and start cleaning up.
{RE}
I thought the $120 would be divided up, thru more than one year.
My daughter - under 18 also.
Respondent was getting ready for a golf date & in a rush but nice & attentive.
All of them why don't they just double hull all those tankers They do, I don't believe that.
Great.
I don't believe that, or those other figures. No.
I think I have heard enough. I don't believe it.
Why have they not done this sooner? It just common sense and the oil companies
should provide the escort ships.
That's bull.
Sounds great.
It would protect animals and birds and sealife that have no defense against man made
mistakes, and we must leave something for our grandkids. - {probe}
Shipping increase as the demand for oil goes up.

(OS) I don't think the effort is worth the amount. It's not only the one time tax which
I think will continue. The oil companies will just position to us - and the one time
tax is a never ending tax. The double hulls are here today We did it the interview at his place of business, an engineering firm in [name of

10665 a-12a What percentage of harm will it prevent. {probe} No.

10665 c-1
(OS) Not sure how much. {probe} Did not imagine it before.

Where are they getting those numbers?
They're full of bull - like that damned spotted owl.
How many's going to die by natural causes.
Look at that oil spill that Exxon had Funded by who?
I've heard enough.
Then it's going to come from the taxpayers. If you put a tax on a company the
taxpayer pays it. Your going to have these ships running along beside the other
ones?
That's stupid. Do you know what those ships cost?
(OS) We don't need another bureaucratic organization and the cost would far exceed
what they say and it would never be eliminated.
It would be somewhat effective but not worth the expense.
Well, it's just like the costs were misleading. The time frame was misleading.
{probe} Well, I just don't trust the bureaucracy they would tell you almost anything
to get what they wanted.

That's debateable (digression) {probe}.
You mean you want it to go public? {probe}.
To me.

What is that? {RR cost statement}.
Sea fence! It sounds logical.
The sea fence sounds very good to me - this looks like a good idea.
We don't pay any income tax. {probe}{My probe = if you did pay income tax...}.
Well, it would save a lot of the wildlife and the people going to the beaches - it could
be harmful to people {probe}. There are more reasons to vote for it than against it
{probe}. That's about it.
I don't know.
I came here in 1943. {probe}.
{RR}.
As long as you live and things keep going up.
If the tax was just $5 per year.
Only because he believed he would be excited because he and his wife are retirees.
As regards E-9a. Wife interjected her comments throughout IW even though I'd
mentioned at the outset it was her husbands' wY, and only his opinions that mattered
in this individual IW, etc. etc. My sense is that most of his responses were truly his.
Interestingly they both told me initially that they agreed on most things but there
were some issues where they disagreed and R's opinion prevailed. The few times
this did not occur, it was usually because R had misunderstood and his wife wanted
to explain Q to him.l Very hospitable ever [illegible, maybe "enlisted"] me.

10685 a-2e What does that mean? {probe}.

R agreed, albeit somewhat reluctantly to do the IW. We sat in the dining area
adjacent to the living room where R's wife sat watching the TV turned up rather
loudly. When his wife left the room briefly, I asked if he could hear well enough at
which time he got up and turned it down. But shortly afterward, the teen son, his
girlfriend and another young couple joined R's wife and soon disregarded the IW
being conducted just 15 feet away. This setting made it most difficult to conduct the
IW although we managed. R mentioned both he and his wife were out of work
making things difficult.

10686 c-6a The damage that was done to the Alaskan coastline by the Exxon Valdez pushed me

See E-5a - again while somewhat arbitrary - R's comments to the voting Q seems to
indicate his focus only on "response" aspect of program.
{ME?!#@}
Imagine my surprise and concern when R says we're doing the IW at his home after
all (with all those big, bad dogs). I felt like I was waling a gauntlet to his front door.
One dog locked in a bedroom scratched and barked the entire time of IW. R was
polite but did seem a little bothered that I had to read things he said he already knew.
R mentioned that he had a prosthetic device on his leg as a result of diabetes. His
house was unkempt and foul-smelling, making it difficult to administer IW.
{R has to go to school return 2/23 10am}.
{Return at 10:30 2/23}.
(OS) I don't know. Because the oil companies are the ones who should pay for it.
{probe}. They caused it {the spills}.
I always like it when you have to reschedule and interview and the R shows up!
{crossed out [number 3] when said he couldn't pay}. I have no have the money.
English was a second language for R. But speaking slowly and going over the
graphics, I think he comprehended everything.
The majority of people are going to think its too high. The oil companies would
raise their prices too - we'll get hit both ways.
(OS) We'll be hit both ways! {meaning money}.
Roommate only here pouring orange juice for us.
{It would} keep the beaches clean and it will keep these animals alive. {probe}. Its

Wife here. Can't speak or understand English.
Shelters are not paid for by the state.
In ten years?
How much will it costs?
I've never heard of a one time tax.
(OS) I'm not sure it's just a one time tax!
I only know Alaskans spills.
It made me want to know more about it!
I don't know what I would be. I'm interested in the environment.
If it was o one time thing, I'd vote differently, but they won't. {Have it for one year the tax}.
(OS) They're going to recover those animals. {probe}. It's just taking the $ {money}
away from the people.
Once they get a tax, they usually stat with it. It never for a year!. I'm a friend of Pete
Wilson, you know.
R. enjoyed this.
It's too difficult for people to pay.

The special one time tax that comes from home owners only? How much would it
be?
(OS) Because it will be very difficult to buy that amount. Even when it sounds like it
is a good program. But I can't pay for it.
I didn't think about it because you paid only one time.
{R changed her decision saying neither}.

rigs. His 2 young children were present during the IW.

I vote no! For the reason I said before!

remedied?

By not polluting the world. It's not just the birds, but it is our ocean and people eat
what comes out of it every day. {probe} The escort ships would help stop the
pollution.
c-2
It all comes down to us - we'll eat the birds or fish and it gets to us if the water is
polluted.

I don't understand why we have to pay - the oil companies should pay it all. They
don't care if they dump oil. They get fined for spilling so little that it's cheaper for
them to dump it. We need to go to better ways of producing energy so we don't have
to depend on the oil.

responsibility - then they might act a little quicker putting their equipment. {probe}.
No.
R works for husband in their own electronics business - used to work for an
environmental protection company - interested.
I can't understand why people can't be more careful.
Actually none of the animals are endangered. Actually it should be our responsibility
to clean up after them (the oil companies) if they made the mess. {probe} No. It looks
like though whoever thought of the idea - it might wait {probe} No.
R, Iw'd in small apartment with a child sleeping on sofa nearby. She was very
gregarious, friendly. Interested in survey and possibly doing IWing herself. Add'l

It sounds good - I'd do it for the wildlife and to have clean water our beaches.
{probe} To keep the wildlife from dying. {probe} Who wants to swim in oily water
or have dirty beaches.
No.
It stops killing all the birds. {probe} It's not legal that the oil isn't cleaned up. I've
seen the birds on TV with oil all over them.
No.
The R mentioned she had a baby in the house and couldn't do "this too long.
The oil spills have been a big problem in the past and if this program would work, it
would reserve the wildlife and keep beaches clean. {probe} No, that's about all.
No.
It would save the animals and make the ocean sofa for animals and people to be in it
{probe}. All of the animals - when I went to the beach, I didn't see any starfish or
sand dollars - the beaches are nasty - to clean up the oil pollution. {probe} No.
For two weeks.
R IW'd on fender of her car. (She was sitting on it). Lots of activity nearby, motors
being served up on motorcycles, kids interrupting. R was attentive and did her best.
5 dollars is for keeping the coast clean. But not for the birds, we already have too
many sea gulls, I like to walk in a clean beach. I do not care about the rest. {probe}.

When he open the door the smell and smoke from marijuana was very strong, and

10 years is a lone time for the ships to have double hulls - why so long?
It's a good idea.
Doesn't the oil sink?
It would protect the animals - although they shouldn't really take it from tax payers it should be the oil companies {probe}. Just all the animals - {probe} on the shore and
in the water. {probe}. No.

think the oil companies should foot the bill instead of the tax payers - they're the ones
making the profit. They should be inspected just like we are for a smog check- have
double hulls. {probe} No.

Just the protection of wildlife. {probe} Make beaches cleaner for [illegible]. It makes
it hard for people to use the beaches when they're covered with oil.
10752 e-10 No.
10753
10753 b-4
(OS) I just don't feel that it would endanger the wildlife from becoming extinct.
{probe} No.
10754
10754 a-10 It kind of bad when it happens - but they recoup - too bad they don't have double
hulls now.
10754 pg10 That's going to be plenty expensive - looks like they's pay more attention to these
captains of the barges to keep them from partying- of course there would always be
accidents in the fog.
10754 a-12 Even with the escort ship, they wouldn't get it all. Even with the double hulls, they'll
still have spills.
10754 pg13 If the oil spills now, the companies have to clean it up.
10754 b-5
$65 isn't a lot of money, but taxes are terrible already. {probe} Let the oil companies
clean up their own messes. {probe} No.

These guys will be more on their toes.

It won't wipe [illegible - maybe "one"] species out.

10754 d-15 It's not a permanent harm - if it was, I'd vote for it.

environment alone.

What about the plants further up on the shore, ice plant, dune grass and others?
How much money is that. You would have to have 24 hour service.
What happens right now if we have a leak, do we have anything set up?
What's the percentage of barges leaking along the central coast? Why dump money
into something intermittent.
[Top of page] No. [Bottom of page] Yes other problems. Spend the money for other
problems.
(OS) I could see that $5 going into a better cause.
That's hard to answer. I'd like to know the average spill per year. {probe}.
Didn't give me enough information to make a reasonable decision.
R's wife said she would vote for. He voted against, not seeming to be in response to
her. He just didn't think the information given was sufficient.
I'm not in favor of more state bureaucracy.
I'll be paying for it at the pump. The oil companies will charge more because their
costs have gone up.
No TV.
It's the same. That's a stupid question.
R was busy, and wanted the interview to be short. Also, we were interrupted several
times by children.
(OS) The oil companies would get their money out of me eventually, so I think my
cost would be quite a bit bigger than $5.
No.
Can't they fly to some other are? Can't they adapt.
They don't taste so good any more.
Right. They should have had that a long time ago.
How many do we get now? We'll do all right. I know the environmentalists think
this is important, but I think that animals can adapt.
No - that's out. Taxpayers shouldn't pay for oil spills. I'd fine the tanker people to
the hilt. How? It's just promoting a job for some people. Then they'll just sit there
and get paid and do nothing. Well, they better learn how to run a boat. That oil spill
in Alaska was definitely their fault.
Let the companies do this. Why should taxpayers do this? I've seen them
demonstrate that on TV.
[Comments next to first paragraph] I don't think they ought to do it - the companies
ought to do it.
Isn't that typical of big companies? B.S. [Comments next to last paragraph] How
often do they have oil spills? What would the people and the boats be doing when
there aren't any spill? Sitting there getting their checks. They could do it faster than
10 years but the companies don't want to spend their money.
The spotted owl has brains to go somewhere else - why can't they? If we had
dinosaurs, the environmentalists would complain about them becoming extinct, but
we've managed to survive without them, haven't we? Let nature take care of itself.
(OS) I don't think they should waste taxpayers money. The oil companies should
bear the responsibility.
Especially if the oil companies know they'll have to take care of it.

I have no idea what the steps are they've taken. I used to surf a lot in San Diego. I
got oil on me from the 1969 Santa Barbara spill.
10763 pg6
[Top of page - by Show Card C Again] Are these numbers the number of birds that
are alive? Its seems implausible that there are more loons than gulls, ant that there
are only 130,000 gulls.
10763 a-12a This seems incredibly complicated to me. How many escorts ships and crews would
they need - 10 or 12 ships? It seems like very expensive insurance. I almost get the
impression that somebody doesn't want this program.
10763 b-4
(OS) I think the response to the program is way out of proportion to the problem.
And programs don't stop so easily. I would be very suspicious that it would go
quietly out of business. And I've heard that the double hull are not significantly safer
than single hulls. It might be much cheaper to test the alcohol content of the ships
captains; it would be more cost effective.
10763 c-1
I have not way of guessing.
10763 e-10 R was initially very suspicious about the nature of the questions he would be asked,
and about the sponsor of the study. Once we began the interview, he gradually
relaxed and became interested.
10764
10764 b-1
Before I decided how to vote, I would like to know what other programs there are so
that there could be some discrimination on my part.
10764 b-2
I'm willing to do anything to protect our coastlines especially against oil spills.
{{probe} specifics}.
10764 e-10 None. Expert that she voiced the comment I hope this doesn't start something like
saves pitches or trying to market something to me.
10766
10766 b-2
Save some birds and wildlife. I'm a bird and wildlife lover. {probe} That's about it.

10767 a-12a The fence is 6' above and 8' below but the pacific has a lot of wave activity and I
wonder how effective the fence would be.
10767 b-4
(OS) I think that they could control the spills by taking a different (Vessels) route.
The money ($5) isn't a problem, but I feel the cost of oil at the gas station level will
increase to offset the cost to the oil companies and tax money could be spent for
other things. The cost of the plan could be used for other things like education.
10767 c-1
(OS) Probably less.
10767 e-10 None.
10768
10768 a-2f I wish that we didn't have to have them. {probe}.
10768 a-8
I worked at Moss landing and I'm familiar with the coast.
10768 a-12a Haven't these tankers had bad piloting? I think they should have more control; radar
and everything. Shouldn't they not run into things?
10768 pg12 I do think they should have double hull tankers, but screen the crew better.
10768 pg13 I think we have more pressing things than this right now and the oil companies are
getting tax money.
10768 b-1
I live on a fixed income.
10768 c-1
I think from cleaning up they've lost money and they will be more careful. And they
do have tugboat escort. {referring to oil companies}.

for the IW despite the regular and on-going distractions of her 2 year old boy. She
said she sound the IW interesting but (like some before her) thought we would be
discussing, more wide-ranging state tax issues. R told me she was recently divorced,
has 3 young sons, is currently attending school and works. In spite of her

Well first of all, $5 {five} is a small amount to pay and the ecosystem must be
protected for me and my kids. I realize the number of birds is small but the land and
the shore, the whole ecosystem must be respected and protected. {probe}. No,
nothing else specific except having all California participate.
Kind of in between 3 {three} and 4 {four}. {probe}.
I didn't even consider that. {C-4 R's response stand apart from option choices}.
How many? {five}.
Many {yes} {how many?}.
My whole life.
R was friendly and cooperative welcoming me in to do the IW right then even though
we'd had to postpone an earlier appt. time. Her young son (not yet 2 years old) used
her as a jungle gym for part of the IW until father came in to get him but this didn't
seem to have affected her ability to give the attention necessary to the narrative. A
very amicable R who told me she found the IW very interesting.10774
I would be willing to pay one time fee if a specific plan and system to deal with oil
spills. {Probe}. I think it's important to protect the shore line. It's a one time tax
instead of an on-going expense.

No.
What's these numbers? {probe} {R's (Reference to the number of birds in

There's so much pollutants and everything. The more we can do to protect the planet
and protect the delicate balance, the better. {probe}. I like the way it can clean up the
oil if something happens. But some of the other things you asked me about earlier
are more important. But I want my kid to be able to go to the ocean to see the sea
otters, starfish and sea urchins.
It would depend on if I could afford it that year. My husband probably would say no.
Would it screw it up if I voted against? {long pause} I'll vote for.
R's toddler distracted her a lot. But although she had been very reluctant to do the
interview, she agonized over the voting questions. {B-1, B-3, D-15}.
Yeah {approving} [after second stop sign] They're remote areas to get to and very
hard to clean up.
I go fishing all the time, and I've sen them all.
I know everything I need to know from the Exxon Valdez. And my sister is a game
warden. It makes it sound like 12,000 birds isn't much, but it is. And there's no
mention of all the jobs that would be lost from a big spill.
It's tax deductible.
Prevent oil spills and economic loss. Prevent fishermen from being out of work.
{probe}. No.
Interview was rushed a bit; R was in a hurry.
{He's the head of household. That's what the scripture say. Wife's remark}.

10779 a-12a Is it going to be up to the [illegible] of oil tankers to be responsible for this program?
10779 b-4
(OS) Because the wildlife will came back. I think it would be the older birds killed
but the younger ones would survive {Probe}. Once they got the tax dollars in they
never take them off.

comments until I informed her that I'm only interested in her husbands responses.
Also there was a telephone conversation taken by the wife in the same room which
was a distraction for me and possibly the respondent because of the loudness of the
wife's voice.

companies business and people will feel the impact of less jobs. It will hurt business.
{probe}.
(OS) Not sure.
Not really sure.
I just don't think we should transport oil -one spill is one too many.
Its worth the expense as a good preventative measure, it's a start {probe} It'll save the
wildlife and ocean life.
Because I'm not stupid enough to believe it only effects the wildlife.
Done at door with R holding show cards.
Originally was told only one 18 or older in H.H. After the call found out 2 in H.H.
They are moving in next couple of weeks.
Compared to other needs. You could use it for border patrol or education {for
children instead}.
{Then?}
(OS) I don't like the plan of having escort ships and having to escort each ship. They
should be able to follow the maps or not captain a ship. I do like the response center
and could use naval bases in area that are being closed down. {probe} No, Make oil
companies more responsible. And that is way too much money for each household
to have pay.
(OS) Depends on oil spills. It could be more or less.
Again depending on quantity of spill.
Depends on how high taxes or how high prices are. {probe}. Neither or combination
of both.
Respondent felt very strong on her vote. Did not hesitate at all. Took section A very
serious.
Private companies are doing this already. Oil tankers from big companies are
required to carry similar equipment. This is written up in scientific magazines that I
have to read for my job. So I question the expense of setting this up.
(OS) Because the companies have insurance and the oil companies are covered and
should have to pay. It is a redundant. Why should I pay for this twice; through
taxes. There is other ways this could be implemented without taxpayers having to
foot the bill. {probe}. No.
The harm is very serious but not all spills are very serious.
Nothing is 100% effective.
Just use a harder stand on enforcing rules. Like illegal dumping and making tankers
and barges carry the equipment that big oil companies all require theirs to do.
Respondent is exposed to the scientific journals that he strongly claimed discusses
the requirements of the shimmers on board. Because they can salvage some of the
oil or recycle it when there is a spill. Feels that this would be redundant pay out to
the taxpayers. Respondent did talk at length on issues.
Why not search for other forms of energy alternate forms then we wouldn't have this
problem.

would {that} compound the time to recuperate? {probe}. No.

How long do they run the skimmers? How fast is the response of the ships?
10788 b-2
I would like to know where the gasoline tax could be [diverted ? -illegible] to this

concluded. When looking at the time, seemed to congratulate me on completing the
IW just exactly to the 20 minutes I'd mentioned at the outset. Notable are his
absence of comments. He mentioned to me as I was leaving that he always enjoyed
talking about taxes "not being raised".

would be a waste of time to save a ship with oil on it. {probe specifics}.

On scale of other taxes we pay $5 is almost nothing. If they can put a program to
work for that little money it should be done. {probe}. I think it would but another
burden on the oil companies. They would have to be more careful on their
transport[ant - sic] process.
I am really not sure.
The R was a little hard of hearing. I read the material and little louder and slower

Preserve the integrity of the coastline. {Probe}. Keep this environment from being
abused. {Probe}. By oil spills. {Probe}. It's harder to bring things back to their
original stat than to maintain it. {Probe}. Although the initial cost may seem
prohibitive - it's worth the set up cost as long as the oil Co. maintain the program. It
shouldn't be disbanded afterwards.
Nothing is perfect.
That would be a concern. Prefer it one time.

That's hard to answer.
This R wanted to know if Westat was hiring.

(OS) Because the state government will end up spending at least double or triple the
amount and instead of ending in 10 they will find a way to keep it. {probe} The way
I think they should do it is give a tax incentive to ships that wish to come in that are
double hulled and if they can switch in 5 years have another tax incentive. Those
who don't will pay higher fees to use our ports and water ways. A use tax not
penalize the households. Like tax on gasoline.

damage in Central Coast has been going on for millions of years oil seepage 3-4' oil

You don't show any letters from oil company with their point. A view they are not

be pushed. Suspicious of one point of view. Trust people to come up with right

Is there any other ways that it can be prevented other than the double hulls? There
seem to be so many spills.

Spills eventually harm humans because some of the oil get into the fish and sea
animals we eat. This can cause diseases.

Even though the small animals may survive after an oil spill - how long will they
live?
10839 b-2
It's because it would prevent our health from being harmed as well as the birds and
animals in the picture. If there is an oil spill I would not want to swim there because
it could cause possible disease and damage my health.

Too much money and I don't have much faith in the oil companies. {probe}
Overseeing the project.
Everytime a new program is initiated it takes more time - more money really - than
was planned for.
The respondent thought that the oil companies would be the ones overseeing the
program and she said "I don't have much faith in the oil companies overseeing the
program."
The Respondent listened attentively and read the information on the cards but missed
the point that the State would oversee the program.
I reading on that a little. I know it's not good for animals & fish. I wouldn't put that
problem over the education or crime problem though.
It would help protect environment & at that cost OK especially if oil companies can't
be made to pay all costs. They should but if this program is the only way to protect
environment then okay.
None.
This is frightening enough.
It would protect nature; therefore protecting human & society. Harder rules &
double-hulled ships. {probe} Huge escort ships would prevent or lessen oil spill
damage.
Totally, ridiculous & insulting question.
No rules; people get careless.
Because all harm done by humans to nature is done ultimately to humans.
In theory, completely effective. In a practical sense?
European equivalent?
None.
Is there a way to stop the oil?
Prevent killing birds & preserving marine life--prevent oil spills.

making less trips 10672 b-5

Over the past 40 years I've seen California slip from top state to one of the last. Used
to be one of the best states.
R is living on pension in a very limited budget.
Are these new programs in other words additional taxes?
No! Did very much covers it! [sic]
Absolutely not. I would like to know why is it illegal to make the companies start
the program. I believe the oil companies should be held accountable and pay for it.
(OS) Because of my principles. {probe} Like I said before the oil companies should
be held responsible.
I would not disclose this information. {R refused to answer this question saying is
very personal}.
I don't think is either one. I believe oil companies profits are astronomical.
None.
No, you explained very well.
It would protect the animals and the environment; to prevent the animals to be
injured. {probe} That's all.
This way everyone pays!
None.
We spend a bunch of time at the beach.
What are the odds of large spills?
It looks like a good program.
(OS) There are other problems in the state that could use the $65.
But I'd hate to have a spill there. It takes a long time to get that stuff off the beach &
rocks.
The number of wildlife killed. It was fairly objective, but there was a subtle push.
{probe} No. They could have touched on how $65 could have been spent on other
programs, & compared the programs.
I thing conservationist would be a better word for me.
BA (Bachelor of architecture).
No.
The oil companies get away with murder - if it makes the oil companies double their
walls If it makes the ships more study. {probe} It would save all the wildlife along the
coast - if you could see the poor birds with all that oil on them. {probe} No.
From now on. Once they get something in, they never take it off. That's the reason I
don't like voting on anything.
I'd rather the companies paid their own way.
At first she thought the program had to do with the ships having double hulls (requiring them to) - I re-explained the prevention program briefly.
R, newly retired, busy "getting her life together", "everybody doing surveys" with her
- interested & listened well to presentation.
It would keep the number of birds & small animals from decreasing. {probe} it
would decrease the amount of harm down to wildlife & their habitat.
R was inebriated, but to what degree is uncertain.

I know all about this. I worked cleaning up oil spills.
A one time only tax? If that's the case yes.
Oil spills are tough to clean up. I did it at one time for a living. {probe} Sounds like
an easier way to clean it up. {probe} Also it may create more jobs which are needed
here. {probe} No.
For only one year.
R said hasn't had a phone for a long time.
R said he worked at one time in cleaning up oil spills so he thought the plan sounded
feasible. Willing to pay tax one time.
These don't deal with supertankers? Only the small tankers? Like the diagram
shows?
The taxpayers pay for set up & tankers will pay for the 10 yr. long haul? {RR A-13}.
Are there more alternatives? More ways to solve the problem? I'd like to know.
It's not only the environmental issue it's a tourism issue. {probe} We need that
coastline clean for tourism also - not only to save those animals.
Depends on the environmental program! {RQ} Each is different! I don't know!
R is an unmarried white male in his mid 30's. He felt guilty as he had not responded
to notes I had left or letters he had received.
I can control what we buy.
R's wife was present during interview. She made no comments. R & wife said they
did not want to give their last name or home phone number. R does not have a work
number. Wife gave hers. Very nice R. Perhaps their ethnic background makes them
very leery about giving personal information.

Because coast line belongs to everyone. We should be able to preserve them.

Don't believe in this. They would do more damage than good.
I don't care if it cost 50 cents. I wouldn't vote for it. The oil co. should hire people
who know what they are doing. ect. ect. ect. [sic]
Ha. Once a tax always a tax.
(OS) We would pay more either taxes or gasoline prices. Don't need it. Hire the
right people to do the job in the first place.

Whales too are harmed.
Not always true - Seals & otters have a hard time because the oil gets stuck to their
coats and they don't always get out in time.
10918 a-10 Seals and otters like the rocky area.
10918 a-10a What about the otters - I don't think they get to leave fast enough. Then there are
many small animals harmed that we don't even hear about.
10918 b-2
It protects the wildlife you mentioned. I think some of these small animals could
become extinct - this would prevent that happening.
10918 c-6a It made it seem that it was a minimum amount of harm. {probe} The information
you gave just sounded like this harm wasn't all that bad. {probe}

10920 e-10 Many relatives live in the apartment complex. R says she works hard for her money.
10921
10921 a-10a Exactly what it does to them. {probe} The affects on their breeding process - Also if
the sea animals are contaminated, how will it effect the water and other animals that
feed on the contaminated ones? {probe} no.
10921 b-2
It would not only prevent oil spills, but would contain one if it occurred. {probe}
Also over the next 10 years, something like the Alaskan spill may occur which would
possibly cost the taxpayers much more. It's better to prevent than to fix.
10921 e-10 The respondent seemed to enjoy it.
10922
10922 a-10 Any harm is not good at all.
10922 b-4
(OS) I would have to learn more about the program to see why it is costing so.
Maybe if it were broken down into a monthly fee it would be easier to pay & one
time payment may be too difficult for some people to afford.

{probe} If they use detergents to clean up the oil, what effect would this have on the
environment?
10924 a-12a Just the cost.
10924 b-2
It would stop unknown side effects. {probe} of the oil spills. It also makes
legislation to keep big companies in check and responsible for their oil spills.
10924 e-5a See B-2. Respondent thought that prevention program (as proposed) would contain a
provision "to keep big companies in check" - holding them responsible for oil spills.

ones.

It's a preventive program, which is good. It would keep the shores clean, & be more
effective than what we have right now. {probe} No, I can't think.
I don't care for Wilson.
No.
(OS) This is the kind of program we need to do for the schools. What is happening
with our schools is criminal; more important than 12,000 birds.
R was quiet but very uptight during interview. His emotions were finally expressed
at B-4, and then after interview, when he expressed his disappointment in the subject
matter & his anger over the state of public schools in Calif.
Who would pay for these escort ships?
I'm well acquainted with oil spills.
(OS) I just don't feel there have been enough oil spills off the California coast in the
past to warrant setting up this program. In 10 years they will be double-hulled
anyway. Not enough to justify the expense. {probe}
Didn't enter into it.
It's a tough one. They are going to do it anyway.
None.

privately?

do with a few less of some of these. Like the gulls and cormorants. not to say that
we need oil spills to control their population.
10934 a-10 I already have a pretty good background on this from my environmental classes.
10934 a-10a What are they basing their data on?

Some exact birds or cousins. I've seen all these too diving.
What do you mean hulls? What about the things they feed off of, are they affected
by the spill?
10936 pg9
What about fishing off the coast? How will that affect the food we eat? Like the
abalone and fish? The 12,000 birds is that in total for the next ten years?
10936 a-10a What about human ability to use the beach for surfing and swimming?

10936 pg12 Why can't they be responsible for the whole thing? They make so much money they
should be responsible for cleaning up the oil they spill.
10936 b-1
Why can't they make a law for the oil companies to pay. I'm not against paying but it
is their responsibility. Why is it up to us? We have other important things like
education and crime. This is a good idea but the oil companies should pay. It seems
the way they set up this it is bias towards not supporting the program because it
makes the animals seem insignificant being only these few birds. Where do the
humans come in they use the beaches.
10936 pg16 There's so many if and buts I'm a consumer of oil so maybe I should pay some.
10936 b-5
Because I don't see why the oil companies aren't responsible for the cost of their own
oil spills. It's their business to be aware of the cost of transporting oil. We already
pay for taxes on gas. {probe}

You say this has been affective in other states. Was it successful?

I didn't really thing about that. I'm not really concerned with cost just the principle.

Not you personally but the information and wording seems bias against the program.
10936 c-6a The wording on Card G. The reasons for on Card G has the number of the birds and
just 10 miles seems minor to the reasons against where the words are in bold letters
make it seem more important than the wildlife. {probe} Also how they talked about
the birds and their assumption that only 12,000 birds are killed.

voting for the program and portraying the wildlife as insignificant.

Also the numerous cats and dogs and a telephone call were added distractions.

It's all self-explanatory.
(OS) It is too much per household. {probe} the oil companies should pay for it.
{probe} I don't feel that 10 miles of shoreline is that big deal for that kind of money.
{probe} No that's it.
It's a catch either way.
Because the interview took place at selected R's place of business an car dealership
he was frequently interrupted by telephone calls, his secretary and other business
associates but he refocused fully after interruptions were resolved.
Not very important? {probe}
If it's just one time.
Well it would stop oil spills. {probe} I was thinking of the oil spills and how it
would cost more later and it would help the wildlife. {probe} No.
For $25.
Probably a little better. I don't know. {probe}
R was hospitable; nevertheless, he was disinclined to IW stating this was again a
very bad time (as on previous occasions) which had ultimately led to his refusal
(through his wife) 2 weeks ago. Appealing to his sensibilities, he did finally consent
even though they were expecting company (and barbecuing) for dinner. He had little
to say during the IW and afterward. My sense was he was simply relieved to be done
with it.
I can't stand them. They're useless. They're scavengers.
12,000 birds in 10 years is not bad. They're not endangered or extinct.
What the heck are they straying off course for in the 1st place? The people that live
on the coast are well-to-do. Let them pay for this.
It's a waste of time. It's not doing a lot of harm. 10 yrs. is too long.
(OS) I don't think the's necessary. {probe} $120 from all these households is way too
much. {probe} Let those people who live there pay for it. It's not my community.
{probe} Nothing.
Even if it's only $50 - I'd spend it for people - not birds.
Wife & teen daughter were present for interview. Wife was very opinionated about
subject. Husband says he feels the same way.
Over the phone. The same exact format, too.
Would it work? It seems so simple that it's too easy. {probe}
$65 is a lump sum. If it was done in two payments. {probe}
Save the wildlife and the coast and prevent a lot of tragedy that have happened
before. {probe} Like seals and otters. {probe} The birds you talked about.
May.

R's 18 month old daughter was distracting thruout. R is a student at [name of
business college given].
Put homeless families in military facilities and have them maintain the grounds.
I understand why.
I use the city bus to go to work.
Because there's a lot more involved than just the birds.
Basically having an on-site escort ship there - right there in the event of an accident
the response would be immediate. Nip it in the bud especially with the supertankers.
{probe}
Hard to tell - it depends on the size and oil capacity of the ship. {probe}
Just limiting it to birds & plants isn't enough. Look at the harm to the coast itself.
{probe}
They limit the view. Look at the overall picture.
Nothing is completely effective.
The discovery channel.
June.
That's a hard one - depending on the product. {probe} and on the tax. {probe} Put it
like this. A one time spelled out for use tax. {probe} {referring to the SPS proposal}
[arrow pointing to word "this" in sentence].
They vote themselves a pay raise.
(OS) Filipino - Caucasian.
R's daughter, 15, was on the couch watching cartoons. R occasionally looked at the
TV.
10945
10945 a-10a I think we should all be aware of what is happening. How much damage can occur.
{probe}
10945 a-12a I would be concerned about the little critters caught inside this fence. Is there
anything done to protect them?
10945 b-2
For my grandchildren so they could enjoy the coast as it is instead of deteriorating as
it seems to be doing. {probe} Just protect the animals that don't seem to be there
now. {probe} {probe} Giving the coastline more protection.
10945 e-10 R employed as veterinary assistant. Said afterwards "I have an all encompassing
concern for the critters".
10946
10946 pg10 {RR on pg 11}.
10946 a-12a Is this the same program as in Washington? {RR A-11}
10946 pg13 I'd have to vote no.
10946 b-4
(OS) Because I'd rather see the money spent elsewhere.
10946 d-16 What difference does it make? {probe}
10946 e-10 R refused for 15 minutes before starting interview.
10947
10947 a-12 I think it's a good idea.
10947 b-2
Outside of saving lines of the birds, couldn't they use the recovered oil" Put it back
in the tanker - a life is a life - re the birds and anything in the water [sic]. (Although I
would prefer mine first.) {probe} Save everything you can save. {probe} No.
10947 d-16 Except for people on low income.
10947 e-10 Very pleasant elderly lady, live alone on 2 acres in country (desert) with loads of
dogs & cats - very attentive to IW.

(OS) It's once again the state is making it too hard for (industry) businesses to
operate in the state - the oil industry is leaving the state because it's being regulated
to death - I work in that industry. {probe} The cost is too much. {probe}
It's impossible to predict.
The non-endangered species - telling me about them - trying to look for an emotional
response. {probe} No.
R an oil field worker, upset about govt regulations on oil industry and it colored all
his opinions. He listened to presentation carefully.
I knew what they caused - the oil does a lot of harm to the things living there.
I don't vote.
It would protect the wildlife that's there - $5 isn't much, even though I think oil
companies should be paying for it. {probe} No.
Even though I don't vote?
They're both high already (taxes-prices). If the govt used their money conservatively
& wisely, they could pay for those things.
R, in process of moving, is a Jehovah Witness & kept saying he doesn't vote - but he
listened carefully & gave his opinions. Very courteous R.
10950
10950 a-10a What will it do to the public being on the beaches? In Santa Barbara & El Capitan
it's very [tarry]. {probe} No.
10950 b-1
Are they going to have something similar to this in Alaska?
10950 b-5
Probably because of the money & since the last few spills, the tankers are being more
careful now. {probe} No.
10950 e-10 Young woman, IW'd in doorway, spent a lot of time on coast in Santa Barbara, saw
spills there - gave a lot of thought to survey.
10951
10951 a-10a I guess it's important. What about the fish? It's sad.
10951 a-12a Will they leave the escort ships out there? Will they clean up the water out there?
10951 e-10 Very pregnant young woman, listened intently. She mentioned she was on disability
w/ a limited income, otherwise would have supported program - lives in tiny neat apt.
10952 b-2
I hike the way they split up the 3 major depots in order for the mess to be cleaned up
quicker. {probe} It look very efficient and seems to cover the entire area.
10952 e-10 No.
10953
10953 b-1
D.K. {probe} Depends what it costs they say one thing and do another.
10953 b-5
Because they say one thing and do another. You can't believe what they say. The
government. {probe}
10953 d-12 That's nobodys business.
10953 e-10 R was opinionated and talkative. It was hard to keep him focussed on the questions.
10954
10954 b-2
Protect the wildlife along the parts of the coast that have most of the wildlife.
{probe} I've been involved in the recovery of an oil spill. {probe} Man has caused
this. It is not natural and man should clean it up. {probe} no.
10960
10960 pg7
So it's mostly just birds? {RR}
10960 pg10 It should be done before 10 years.

want it clean but we don't make the mess.
(OS) I feel it's not up to the taxpayers to pay. The oil companies are making enough
money. They should pay. {probe}
I figure every year. They never take off tax's.
I watch National Geographic. It's good.
I do like wildlife though.
I don't think it's fair for us to have to pay for their mistakes.
Why would prices go up? {RR}

Well, I feel the environment is being taken advantage of, you can't put a price on
crime & education either. I'm all for this on oil spills. It's needed to protect wildlife

No.
I like to have clean water and beaches. {probe} and keep the birds safe. {probe}
That's about it.
No.
10965 e-10
10967
10967 a-10a The cost. {probe} How much it costs to clean it up? And what happens to the sick
animals?
10967 pg10 so the ship riding side by side would help it to not hit anything? It's a good idea if it
works - but how much does it cost?
10967 b-1
First, I have questions. Would it take 4 years to set up, and then it would only last
for 6 years? $65 isn't much.
10967 b-2
Save all the animals and the pollution. {probe} I believe some of the fish and the
abalone get harmed, and sea lions too, in an oil spill. I've seen it on TV. {{probe}
specifics}.
10967 d-16 Cause I can choose what I buy.

10967 e-10 No.

It would prevent damage to the central part of our coastline. {probe} I've seen what
an oil spill does to our shore here. If something can be done it would be worthwhile.
No.
None other than r was slow to respond. He seemed to understand the questions, but
thought a lot about them before answering.
In the event of an oil spill this preventive measure would lessen problems from the
oil spill. {probe} All the problems - protect wildlife and keep the water free from
contamination.
No.
a-12a What is the prevention?
b-2
Protect the birds. {probe} To prevent killing the birds. {probe} No.
e-5a At A-12, R forgot about the escort ships helping tankers to avoid collisions. I re-read
the last paragraph of p.10.
10972 e-10 Small kids were a minor distraction. Interview was rushed because R said she was
busy. In fact, initially she refused to do the interview.
10973
10973 pg8
I was thinking that they should provide a fund to build double hulls, rather than
spending money to clean it up.
10973 a-12a Would it be ridiculously costly?
10973 b-2
The oil companies would eventually be responsible for taking it over. Also, the fact
that it would be a one time cost. Also, would I have to worry about our food being
endangered; I like shellfish. {{probe} specific}
10973 b-3
$25 isn't a lot. If it were more, I wouldn't vote for it.
10973 e-10 R told me that her roommate, with whom I did the screener, incorrectly gave r's age.
I changed the age on the screener, but it did not affect the selection of the R.
10975
10975 pg5
Yes!
10975 a-8
I spent a lot of time on the coastline watching birds.
10975 a-10 I think that anything that destroys the balance of little creatures or big creatures
should be prohibited, even if for a short period of time.
10975 a-12 I think we need it.
10975 pg12 One time, or once a year? I've never heard of a one time tax - have you? That's a
new concept.
10975 pg13 Wait a minute - When you said 12,000 birds, I thought that meant over a 10 year
period. If it's 12,000 birds along 10 miles of shoreline, that's an astronomical
amount. I'm for the program.
10975 b-2
It's one more step in maintaining the balance of creatures in the world. It's not up to
us to diced if 12,000 birds survive. {probe} No, just what it does is good enough.
{probe} No, not that I can think of.
10975 b-3
I don't think that oil harms anyone.
10975 c-1
I'll take their word for it.
10975 c-4
That's questionable.
10975 d-16 If it's just a one time tax.

Keep and prevents the environment from being screwed up. {probe} Protects our

No.
I'm doing my student teaching.
I'm familiar with oil spill from the movies, T.V. and newspapers.
The pictures explain what you have been talking about.
(OS) The ratio of the birds lost isn't big enough to worry about. {probe} If I was
going to spend $5.00 I would do it for something else. {probe}
I hope much better!
Both ways bother me!
None.
The only time I've been questioned is from mailers.
They're going to have to live with the oil-spill if they want to have gasoline for auto.
That's how it is!
I like birds. I'm a duck hunter.
It not going to work! I don't believe in it!
I wouldn't pay a penny for it. That's just a start?
It's not going to work.
I would hope that they would correct this program.
I think their nuts!
We don't want anymore taxes. We are tax out.
No one's business.
Waste of monies!
This respondent is a very strong-believer in his opinions.
It's like what happened in Alaska - We don't want it to happen here. {probe} The
Valdez thing - it causes a lot of damage. {{probe} specifics}.
No.
(OS) DK - Don't want to pay any more taxes.
7th grade.
Neither - can't pay. Maybe probably higher prices.
Husband sent son out to tell wife not to sign anything. I don't think they can afford
anymore taxes. Law income housing here.
(OS) I don't think program will be as effective as they say it will and spills will still
happen and damaging and we will be spending money on nothing.
Didn't enter the equation.
Is it one time cost?
To prevent harm to wildlife. To protect the ocean, especially since we do not take
the environment seriously enough, we need to protect it.
None.
I've seen them.

6/21/2016 6:44:00 AM
10988 a-12a If an accident occur the company that carries the oil, should pay for it. The Co.
should be responsible for it. We are paying so much money.
10988 pg12 I don't want to pay for that.
10988 b-1
We are constantly paying taxes.
10988 b-4
(OS) [answer 1, 2, and 3 circled] We are paying so many taxes. This is ridicule.
Why do we have to pay for it? {probe} We work so hard. I don't want to pay
anymore.
10988 c-1
We are more conscientious about the environment. We can prevent things.
10988 c-4
I am sure I we going to be paying for more years.
10988 d-9
I really don't want to answer that. {R refused to give date of birthday}.
10988 d-12 {Refused}.
10988 d-15 Like I said they say one time and after the years still, there. Why do we have to pay
for everything?
10988 e-10 None.
10989 a-10a What does it do to swimmers that go to the beach. {probe} That's all.
10989 b-2
It will help the coasts to remain clean also the wildlife to be protected. {probe}
That's basically it.
10989 d-16 Either way it is coming out of my pocket.
10989 e-10 None.
10990
10990 a-10a They haven't mention the effect on sea otters. Local economy all be affected. {After
R mentioned sea otters I read to him box2}.
10990 a-12a I'd like to know the response time in case an accident happens. {probe} That's all.
10990 b-2
It would protect tourism. It would make an effort to prevent accidents. It would
make shipping & boating safer, also sailboats. {probe} That's all.
10990 b-3
Still vote for it!
10990 c-3
Big disasters are overwhelming. The escort ship is on e of the most important factors
here.
10990 e-10 None.
10991
10991 a-10 No, I think your covered it completely.

should pay for their own messes.
10994 pg12 Change the law then!!

this was like pulling teeth to get. Terribly angry, cranky man. Cooled off during
interview and apologized.
(OS) It might be difficult for Calif. households to pay it. There are other things that
come before that. {to pay for}.
6 to 1 - 1/2 dozen to the other!
I saw a big tanker in San Francisco with a boat leading it out.
I think going to the ship the source of the problem will prevent harm to the wildlife.
I mean the oil tankers.
What will this program do? That is what I saw in S.F. I guess.
Are our taxes paying for this program in L.A. and S.F.?
(OS) There are other problems that need to be addressed. {probe} Social problems job training is more important than saving these birds and animals.
{Telephone call} {about 10 min.}
I think the sewage and contamination should be cleaned up also. {R changed her
mind about this answer}.
That's hard to answer.
R does like animals and birds and had a hard time deciding how to vote.
Save lives of innocent animals. {probe} They have a right to live and be safe. Even
if it was one birds I would still vote for it.
There were 2 male adults there but r said only the 2 females were HH members. R
and roommate both love animals.
{Before we got started R stopped to get daughter dressed for school}.
Do they have this program in Los Angeles now?
I love animals.
Everything is getting ruined now. {probe} It means life to me. {probe} Life for the
animals that would be saved. I really don't know what benefit we people get from
these birds.
I really don't know a lot about oil spills and the amount of harm done. I just know
the oil spills kill wildlife.
D.K. haven't heard more about this particular program.
You told me.
They are not nice anymore. Beaches are just ugly and dirty. I hate to take my kids to
the beach.
Comes out the same "we" still have to pay.
R was anxious to leave with her little girl. R said she was willing to pay but didn't
think a lot of people could afford it.
Don't want prisons in Calif.
I agree they should pay - the oil companies should pay. Do they have fish in the
rocky coast areas?
Maybe the oil won't hurt the clam always but I eat the clams and the oil affects me.
Who will pay for the clean up?
$5 is not that much.

It would help our future generations of people to enjoy the birds and wildlife and
clean beaches. {probe} We have to think of our environment in the future. It would
keep our beaches clean.
All the people that eat those small animals can definitely be harmed. There is no
doubt about it.
Maybe 2 yrs.
Where does our money go? We pay taxes and still have crime.

{RQ - Noise outside, R could not hear all of the Q and looked puzzled}.
No. Oh, wait, I'm sorry, yes I did.
Either way. {Shaking head no} I guess higher taxes. That's not a very good choice.

pay - when I get doing better and I can afford it, I'd say yes. {RQ - emphasized
underlined, above} [IW underlined "If an election were being held today"] I'd have to
say FOR.
I'm for the protection of sea life and the protection of the environment for the people
that live along the coast. They may have kids that swim in the water. Also, the birds
in the area. {probe} Saving and sparing life, all life. Birds, plants, people - not
letting people or things get infected.
Still, I think they have as much right as we do.
I always like the first answer - I want to have faith in the program.
I would think you'd have to pay it more than one year. To keep it going.

very much - so...[line drawn to letter A].
Neither, really, but since I have to take a choice [line drawn to answer 1] because
people can't afford the higher prices.

R spoke of future, not present, when deciding how to vote, as in "when I can afford
it, I'd say yes." I had to repeat the Q twice before I felt she was thinking in terms of
an election being held today, not at some future time.
At C-4 she indicated that money would have to be paid every year to keep the
program going, so I don't think she grasped the part about a one-time tax or the oil
company fees sustaining the program.
Protecting wildlife. {probe} To protect the birds. {probe} I like to take my dog to the
park & there are no birds anymore. It's really sad. {probe} I feel the same way about
sea life.
I'm not an authority at all.
Woman with older son visiting during interview. Came in during screener - just
listened. She works for county of Sacramento, after trying temporary work. Very
polite & nice.
Not names but recognize them all.
How often do they estimate this happens?
If that were true - one time only - & kept to that amount $65.
Later - said this The cost is low, relatively. {probe} One thing that I question is that the oil
companies should be more responsible. {probe} Protection of the shoreline and
protection of the animals. {probe} The fact that other states have used it.
If it worked the way you described it number 2 - I question that it would work that
well.
My first thought was an annual tax.
{Not real amt. of time - Did not want to tell me how long. She gave me these
numbers and told me to put in brackets}.
{? Respondent does not want to give true age} [again, the year in brackets].
If it were a one time tax. That would be OK. The oil companies should be
responsible regardless. {Back to pg. 14}.
Respondent will not give name or phone number.
Young daughter about 10 yrs old, sat on couch with mother & distracted her slightly
- She was very hesitant at the beginning and asked if she "had" to do interview. I
told her no, but it would be a good opportunity to voice her opinion on types of
taxation. She said at end of interview it was not at all as bad as she thought it might
be. Also, she would not give true age, last name, or phone number. She said the
state already has all that.
Eureka area.
We use to go abalone fishing.
Do you think this will work?
Is that for real? $5.
I think it is more harmful - (the spill) for other thing, that we don't know about (at
this time). {probe} The birds being harmed also in this area where the oil spills.
{probe}
It depends on the traffic of ships.

Well it would save wildlife and help cut back our pollution. I think oil spills have a
bigger impact than just birds and animals. In the long run it effects our health. Oil
companies just don't want to pay. They should. They'll raise prices on gasoline.
{probe} That covers it.
No.
It'll damage the shoreline & kill the wildlife & fish. {probe} If this will prevent the
damage that I've seen it would be worth it. {probe} Nothing else.
No.
I've sailed those ships.
Eventually everyone will pay.
I'd go on welfare.
There's a lot of people not paying tax's and maybe we could get some of that money.
{probe} We should be taking care of food & land in the ocean instead of outer
space. {probe} We need our marine animals healthy. {probe} No. {R kept digressing
& talking about outer space as I continued to probe}.
The oil companies are more careful since the Alaska spill.
They breed unrestricted.
If the oil company get on the ball.
R worked for different oil companies for many years and sailed their ships all over
the world. He was very well versed in all the problems. He had some problems
concentrating because of his age & medical condition.
It's important to civilization.
That's important to everyone in California.
Is that really a problem.
That's like have you stopped beating your wife. I don't mind paying taxes I just want
to know that it's well spent.
What's a definition of homeless? Able-bodied homeless or not able-bodied persons?
That's a double edge sword.
Why? It's not off-shore oil drilling. If a ship runs into another ship they should be
responsible.
Why can't they pass a law tax that oil companies will have to pay the tax if they can
require the taxpayer why can't they require the oil companies? I'm very leery of one
time taxes like when they raised the sales tax.

The way you described it? None of the animals are endangered? It repairs itself in
ten years or five years? That's an overkill statement. That's not believable. I can't
believe that is a permanent fix. This is a simplistic statement that just isn't true.
There's not much more reason to spend the money.
(OS) [answer 1 and 3 circled] California's already a high tax state and the budget is in
the red. They just said they were going to give residents a 15% tax cut. It is
ridiculous to be discussing this now. {probe} They won't be able to spend that
money in a credible fashion. One time charges end up continuing.
(OS) Not the slightest idea. I don't know who came up with these figures and how.
To comment on that would be ridiculous.
Not the slightest idea. Ask me a question like how far is up.
I always make up my own mind.
The state hasn't shown a great deal of skill in managing their money. They are
always in the red.
Wife was present during part of the interview. Selected R remained skeptical of
taxes and the importance and value of this study - .
I don't go to beaches to swim.
The Gull which is everywhere.
Is there more you want to tell me? Why haven't I seen the Common Murre if there
are 525,000 of them.
It seems pretty simple if it really works.
Would I know that it would be specifically go to that?
I have a big aversion to oil spills after seeing what happened in the oil spill in Alaska
in that sound. {probe} Anything to protect the shoreline would be worth the $65.
{probe} It is already outlined to what it will do.
{Breaks into hysteria laughter}.
Husband was present sometimes talking on telephone during the duration of the
interview.
Any time the government gets their hands into this I'm against it. I worked for 25
yrs. for Exxon. The bureaucrats and big wigs in Exxon were too interested in
themselves to clean up after Valdez. { + 3 minutes with name & rank describing the
neglect of the clean up}.
(OS) Past experience with government programs. Someone would get rich at my
expense and it probably wouldn't do what it was supposed to { + 3 minutes on the
California smog program detailing how tailpipe probes were the solution}.
(OS) Actually the recovery is a lot quicker than they think.
There's been a lot of oil that bubbles up and it's been going on forever.
If it was run right [line drawn to answer 2] But I doubt that it would ever be, so
number 5.
I've been trained in hazardous waste in oil spills.
R Exxon employee 25 yrs.lots of experience with oil and spills.
At the time I don't know how my financial stability would be - I do believe in
protecting the environment for me & my kids - I can't picture seeing the ocean black.
{probe} No - [illegible -looks like 20] could supply one of my Kids with school
clothes for a year. {probe} No.

Apartment mgr IW'd in his home, wife nearby listening - he was a very considerate
R, extremely interested in problem. Wife added her opinion but R was very
independent about his.
That's a farce ...
I think that human beings harm the animals more than the oil with pollution.
Who's going to pay for this? {Q by Q}
I'm tired of every time I pay for any of my bills and having part of it go to toward
who can't afford it [sic]. People shouldn't have a phone if they can't afford it....
(OS) It's the principle of the thing. Why should we pay for these stupid projects that
people in Sacramento dream up? {probe}
I don't like the beach.
None.
IW was conducted in the office at the front of the business. R's home is at the back
of the business. It was noisy, with the phones ringing often. R answered the phone
once, than was not interrupted again.
(OS) The other programs are much more important.
R against interview because other programs are more important.
Because the beaches are important for me . We must keep the ocean clean as well as
the seashore. {probe} No.

A bond issue might be better. Then have the oil companies pay it back.
I expect more.
It's a technical matter. A layman can't judge that.
You stated 1 yr.
{R changed mind}.
I thought the presentation was designed to discourage support for the program.
The reasons given to vote against the program were strong and seems to minimize
the importance of 12,000 birds being killed. If you have a spill every few years, these
birds would never recover in 10 years as you said they would.
[Belong].
Difficult question. Business is more effective and more efficient than government.
This man is a lawyer and of high income. $5.00 was not an issue. While he tried to
refuse interview, he said he was happy he did participate. Thanked me for coming
and asked if the state does this kind of study often for other issues.
{SP (girlfriend?) came home and said they had to leave immediately. R said to call
him for AP or Sat. AP OK.}
I pretty well know about this.
I'm aware of this program or method of picking up the oil.
Just $25? $25.00 is not a lot of money to me. If every HH paid -it would accomplish
a lot for our environment.
It lets the people enter the water by keeping the water clean. It would keep the small
animals alive to be food for other animals and birds and the fish.
How do most people answer this? I guess.
The hardest part was getting an AP. SP works and goes to school was sorry we had
to try to reach him so many times.

Spent about 20 minutes with R while he explained to me that "we" have no input into
what gov't does. Also would not consent to IW - until his wife came home since they
do not do things without the other one present. Wife came home and after they had a
conversation he consented to IW. R & wife have not been in this country very long they are from an Eastern bloc country and very hesitant about giving information to
any part of the government. He did state that he felt money in this state should be
allocated to education for children - better schools.
At this time What genetic changes are taking place because of oil spills?
Great idea.
Prevention of damage & harm to the coastline & the flora & fauna and it puts the
cost burden back on the oil companies although it seems that we well all bear the
costs sooner or later through higher prices at the pump.
What we forget is that the ecology of the plant & animal life does affect us both
biochemically & biologically.

for our actions. {probe} It will prevent any further damage to the area.
I'm an optimist so I say [arrow pointing to answer 1].
The words "not only" & that type of phrasing. {probe} No - but I had made up my
mind for myself, but it push me with the language.
Oh - I'm sorry - we did!
R is a married white female in her mid-50's. She works in social services so is

It's OK for me to pay $25. {probe} This program keeps the shoreline clean, not only
for the animals but for people.
2 months.
I followed the Exxon spill carefully - I know about it - My sister worked for the
Coast Guard & we're familiar with the problems.
I watched quite a bit during the Exxon Spill.
$225 is a steep price to pay on a fixed income, but it's a good idea. {probe} I think
they should set something up but not hit people that hard. {probe} No.
Very pleasant retired widower, lives in mobile home on lake - recovering from heart
attack - interested in problems caused by spills.
I don't pay income tax cause I don't get enough social security.
It covers what I think should be done. {probe} Those tankers should have double
hulls now. {probe} I like the sound of it. {probe} The oil spill - there's too many
animals that shouldn't be harmed & they're all here for a purpose. {probe} No.
I don't get cable.
Our taxes are high enough.
Retired mechanic has lived in mountains quite a long time, fisherman, concerned
about how strict environmental laws have become - listened carefully while trying to
keep big dog from jumping on me!
It does cause a lot of trouble.
It would protect the birds and the animals from harm. {probe} Just I'm a fisherman
and I like to be out in the ocean. {probe} All the animals out there. {probe} All of
them. {probe} No.
I didn't think of that.
My daughter & I go regularly.
R was a very polite, interested old man - retired, a former steel worker who loves to
fish. Very pleasant, lives in mobile home park.
But it informed me.
Very pleasant widower, live in a mobile home, used to spend a lot of time along
coast when wife was alive {H} - It looks to me this has already been done. Who pays? Why taxpayers?
Who is going to pay for it?
Just California?
I think that amount of money could be better spent on other programs, crime control.
{H} - Why aren't the oil companies buying insurance in the first place as I buy auto
insurance?
But I don't know - Maybe less because people are informed about spills these days.
{H} - That's optimism.
Just a one time tax though.
{H} - Hardly any.
Husband insisted on being present during interview. His comments are on right hand
side marked with letter "H".

Save the wildlife and also the beaches. {probe} I'm only thinking about that area.
{probe}
(OS) I really don't know. I don't have a specific number.
Taxes never go down. Prices may go down.
None.
These are the ones that are usually forgotten. Everything is interdependent. Man can
manage his resources very well.
I've seen this concept on "Beyond 2000" (TV) & other programs. Looks like a pretty
good program.
The oil companies are the ones making billions of dollars. They are responsible. But
I don't vote, so I'm neutral on this. we just pay our taxes.
We're politically neutral. Man's hands are tied; God's kingdom is the only solution to
all of these problems.
The potential could be worse. Oil spills can be devastating.
There's always the unknowns. And they could be undermanned.
I firmly believe in taking care of the planet. But, strictly from a biblical stand point no politics.
God's kingdom is the only solution.
R told me that [name provided] (person number 04 on screener) is a temporary
houseguest, thus changing the selected R. He also told me that he is a Jehovah's
Witness, and as such he does not vote or get involved in politics. He agreed to do
this interview only if I made it clear in my notes that he does not take sides on such
issues. Therefore, though I circled N/S at B-1, in fact he refused to vote at all.
I grew up on the coast.
How many years did it take to get the money from the Alaska one? Money doesn't
clean it up - they found out you can't clean it up. My family lived in Santa Barbara
when they had the bit spill there. They've never forced them to make ships with
double hulls. If we had a bad spill off of SF Bay, it would kill off the otters in
Monterey, & kill the Murres & the gulls at the Farallones Islands. I've been an
Audobon & Sierra club member for years. In Alaska, only the clams survived of the
crustaceans. And thousands of otters were killed.
No, but according to the Audobon society, their numbers are dropping.
I don't believe that. Fish are very territorial; they're not migratory, especially Rock
fish.
I'll bet you $50 that in 10 years they don't. How many teeth do they have in the law?
I think it's critical that we stop it in some way. But how are they going to enforce the
law? How are we going to make the big oil companies have double hulls?
That would make some more jobs. I don't think they could stop it, if something went
wrong with the tanker's engine & it drifts to shore & smashes against the rocks in a
storm. But yes, you can spend my tax money on this.
My son lives in the state of Washington, & their booms are ineffective.
Protect all the wildlife. Our ecosystem is all bound together. It's not just the birds &
the animals we're talking about. Petroleum products are very toxic. {probe} Yes Keep the oil off the beaches. {probe} No - that's all.
No.
I smell the Sierra Club.

I've already heard more than I care about. This is not a priority for how the state

11059 pg10 Are you serious? Oh, God! {laughing}.
11059 a-12a Guess!
11059 pg12 So it means it would come from both the taxpayers & the taxpayers. Right!

(OS) There's so many more important places to spend the money. It frasts my fanny
that the state would even consider doing this. Honest to Christ!
11059 c-5
That's the only good thing about it.
11059 e-10 In spite of R's sarcastic, cynical verbatims, this interview was a lot of fun for both of
us. She is a very jovial, humorous person, and we both laughed uproariously
throughout the interview at her colorful expressions & opinions. A memorable,
entertaining interview.
11060
11060 pg12 Why? My gut feeling is that this is not from the state, it's from the oil companies.
Why in the hell should these guys get away with it?
11060 b-2
It's not only the animals, it's to protect our magnificent coastline. {probe} Preserve
our coastline. I'm against offshore drilling for that reason. {probe} That's enough.
11060 b-3
That's over-simplifying it.
11060 c-3
It's hard to say. It depends on the season. This is being oversimplified.

birds. My son helps heal wounded wild birds.

11067 a-12 It's very good.

money for these things.
(OS) I know nothing about the oil industry so I can't give an educated opinion.
None.
Definitely.
Very.
For me, personally? {Yes}.
That doesn't affect me either. {probe}
Other than the harm to the people and the children in the area. {probe}
Why don't they put this equipment on this ship? {probe} {A 12-A reference to "this"
ship is the tanker shown on card F} .
Seeing that I don't have the $65 today. {probe} {B-1 R misunderstood Q and by
simply rereading she changed her vote}.
It would be saving the lives of the animals. {probe} If you put all that equipment on
the big boats that would save money too.
Because it's also damaging the earth.
[illegible]? {probe} Seeing how I had no knowledge of this.
When you have those big tankers out there. Nothing's going to be completely
effective.
You said we needed 10 years before all ships were double-hulled right? {probe} {C4 See E-10}.
They have Discovery Channel.
All but three.
How much what? {probe}
See verbatim comments at C-4 and B-1.
Same as E-5a. Thought she'd have to pay the one-time pmt. today if an election were
held today.
R was friendly and cooperative and yet had failed to grasp some essential
information when voting and with a subsequent Q. She laughed and joked about this
- I'm sure feeling somewhat embarrassed. Fortunately, her comments afforded me
the opportunity to reread the questions and respond to her comments, thusly,
alleviating any misunderstanding.

important to me - it's just not that important.

What the oil spills? {Yes}.
The way they was going to do the oil? {The prevention program}.
Where is that? {Q x Q}.
{Actually R is not quite 27 yet}.
I hope better. {Is that what you think? Yes}.
What was that? {RR}.
See E-10.
When I arrived at the scheduled appt. time, R had company and through the urging of
her visitor we went in to begin IW. She was incredibly distracted; partly because one
of her twins was up and not napping (as hoped for) and because she would've rather
been talking with her company who waited patiently for us to finish. After the IW R
told me she didn't find it very interesting because it was not a topic she cared about.
Additionally she indicated she thought it would cover a wider range if issues.
11077
11077 a-10a Just about animals? {No, anything} Is there information on how it affects the ocean?
11077 b-2

those two. {probe} no.
11077 c-1
I have no idea.
11077 e-10 R wa amicable and cooperative, and agreed to the IW immediately even though she'd
just been handed the advance letter (not deliverable by physical address). She found
IW interesting and seemed very interesting and seemed very interested in socialpolitical issues. She was particularly critical of State, Cal Trans as this mountain
community has been beleaguered with road problems.

11079 a-12a What do they do with the oil in the ship? I guess they can't use it because of salt
water mix.

Lovely older woman, but I think the vote change was initiated by first listening to her
husband, and then making up her own mind on which way to vote.
Protect the environment. Keep it clean. {probe} That's enough. {probe} That's the
main thing.
First of all it didn't tell me about alternative ways to protect the environment.
{probe} Secondly it didn't give me an opportunity to place the cost on either
consumers or industry. {probe} Thirdly it didn't give me the scale of the entire
program. {probe} Fourth it didn't ask me to choose in priority as to which State
programs should be supported with tax dollars.
Not really - R was well informed it seems, and answered questions thoughtfully.

That's a tough question.
R said the entire survey was a little skewed. He was glad to be able to give his input
and opinions especially regarding this program.
I know these spills happen.
{Resp. had to go outside for a few minutes to check the dryer}.
How many oil spills are they expecting in the next 10 years?
This is only a 10 yr program then? This makes it sound like it's not a big deal to
harm all these animals and plants.
It would make the ocean natural. {probe} Ships and oil don't belong there - the birds
belong in that area. {probe} It would keep ocean clean and save the birds and other
animals.
I haven't seen it in action. I really DK but I guess.
SP found the questionnaire to be interesting and said she was "happy" to help this
study.
What about humans? What harm to humans?
Certainly for $5.00 I expected it to be more expensive. As long as this new program
doesn't rob the human programs of social security and crime programs. I probably
would not pay or vote no if it cost over 30 for this program.
It keeps our coast - shoreline clean {probe}. It would save birds. It's a good idea.
You said once.
You are bringing a program to our attention then telling us that the amount of harm
in numbers is so large. Focus on 12,000 birds dying in one area. That's a lot of dead
birds for us to picture in our minds.
{Received Tel. call}
{R changed mind} Taxes for only some products. I'm not ready to answer this.
Maybe some selective businesses that are responsible should pay. Those businesses
who cause the environmental problems.
Male SP from Spain is interested in birds but says human programs should come
first. SP still didn't want to do intv. but said he was glad he did because he found it
very interesting.

(OS) If you force the oil companies to pay out more money they will just pass on the
customers. {probe} That's all.
10873 d-16 It is hard both ways, it hard to fight the government & also hard to fight businesses.

R wanted to refuse interview - did refuse - said "he didn't care how the tax money is
spent." After much talking he agreed to do int. later. Even though he tried to act
impatient to finish, he really was very interested.
Double hull - oh yes, I know about that.
No, I've got the idea.
I'm familiar with how this works.
It would avoid the overall damage to birds, wildlife and water. {probe} Deaths and
injuries to all wildlife.
I hope a 1 time tax.
Business is more efficient than government.
Didn't think much about the $5 {small amount to him personally}.
R says the water and everything in it is close to his heart.
Protect the environment. {probe} The sea life. {probe} Save the wildlife. I know
this is necessary. I'm a member of the Green Peace.
If sea life dies we are all affected.
It would be smart to spread the money over a longer period instead of collecting it all
at one time. I would be willing to pay it all at one time but the general public
wouldn't be willing to part with that much money - all at one-time.
One way.
R tried to get me to skip all the details and just have him say "yes" to whatever we
wanted since he believes in any program to protect the environment. I explained that
I was compelled to give him all the background information. R refused to give his
last name but did give his work tel. no.

people who use some of these animals or sea weed for their business - have a
problem?

10877 b-4
(OS) We already pay too much taxes. {probe} and I'm not so sure about how good
the program is. {probe} If it would be worth that much money - I'm not sure. It

10879 a-10a Doesn't the oil basically carry over to our water supply? For humans. Our beaches
give us contact with the oil and other chemicals.
10879 a-12 Are they fining the companies that cause the spills? Or that have the spills? I
understand that these oil companies can pay a small fine and it's ok to spill the oil.
10879 b-1

Why a one time tax, this usually is not true. They take money from one program
after it starts up and put it to some other program, within the same section. I work
for the State and I see this all the time!
To help the environment. {probe} This program would keep the (coastal) bird from
being killed. {probe} It would keep the shoreline clean from the oil. {probe}
None.
I remember reading about the oil spills and seeing it on T.V.
The pictures are good!
I'm against this!
I'm so taxed out already! We cannot afford this!
That's if they are telling us everything! I really don't think Calif. has that much to
worry about.
That how it's been in the past. They said for one year only never that way.
I don't think it's a one time tax!
Everyone will have to pay with higher prices, but I really don't like that way either,
but prices are better than taxes.
None.
If guarantee only pay for it once - leave it open without that guarantee - we will have
to pay more and more.
Ecological effects of oil spill is devastating. I use to live along the coast I saw what
an oil spill does to animals - Once the animals are gone - they're gone - It's the same
with the land - Spills destroy the land. {probe}{{probe} specifics}.
Don't they have a system.
Why should it take 10 years to fix the hulls of the ships (OS) I think the oil companies should pay the whole cost -

The statement about double hulls makes me think the problem would be taken care of
if they enforce the double-hull law.
I don't think it's worthwhile because it will take years to start.
(OS) I think by the time they implement the program it would be about 3 years so we
would only see 6 or 7 years of use from it.
(OS) I have nothing to base my decision on. I can't remember how many oil spills
have occurred.
Who knows? They can always extend it.
Just by the nature of the questions it seems to be sponsored by an environmental
group. I still made up my own mind. Both.

is worth the money. {{probe} specific}.
10894 c-1
(OS) More.
10894 d-15 With the caveat about education.
10894 e-10 E-7 Yes, because wife wanted nothing to do with me and the survey. Husband was a
willing participant. But I felt he was bothered by wife's feelings.
10895
10895 a-10a What will the oil do to the soil and would it affect agriculture?
10895 b-2
Anything that will help save the beauty of our shoreline and save the birds is
definitely worth $5.00, also keeping the water pure is important. {probe}
10895 c-1
(OS) I have no feelings. I don't know enough to judge.
10895 c-3
Otherwise why spend the money?
10895 c-4

10895 d-16 You can't go by prices.
10895 e-10 None.

10896 a-12a Has it been approved? Is it effective?
10896 b-1
I can think of a lot of other areas where I'd rather spend the money, such as
education. But it's a worthy program.
10896 b-5
Other issues are more pressing. If I had to choose between this program &
educational programs. I'd probably choose the educational programs.
10896 d-16 The oil companies should have to pay for it.

10898 pg9
It's biodegradable.
10898 a-12a how many (escort) ships would it take? To have 1 ship per tanker is a lot of escort
ships. The Coast Guard is short of ships too, & they are being cut (budget wise). I
used to work with the Coast Guard, & money is being taken away from them.
10898 b-4
(OS) The Coast Guard should do this. Why create another state agency to do this?
Why replicate something that exists? The mission is worthwhile, but why reinvent
the wheel?

He had a baby on his back the whole time. He has 8 children and we went outside to
do IW.
It is a good idea. This should have been done on the Valdez spill up in Washington
State.
Basically what you described here. Save a lot of property damage, & environment.
{probe} That's it.
The R stood up during the whole interview. Each page I turned he seemed to look it
over pretty good.
Save the animals. We do enough to harm the environment . It would be nice to do
something to help it every once in a while. {probe}
R said before we started the interview that she had taken a couple sociology classes
in college in DC & had visited the Westat office in MD.
(OS) I don't think it is necessary. If the barge leaks who ever owns it should pay to
clean it up. {probe}

How low does it go. How do they know how low the oil will go?
Protection of the animals. The awareness of the tankers. To be more careful. On the
other hand it could make them less aware or cautious because they are being
escorted. First & foremost is the animals or species protection. My dream is to
become a marine biologist. {probe}
If we could afford it. Yes, why not.
Remember what I said. If they are there to react right away to the spill.
There are things around us or in the environment that need attention also that are not
being really taken care of.
I was raised in San Diego.
When the Valdez spilled they had a plan on paper but they couldn't implement it.
Sounds good.
This one time tax- why not put the tax on the pumps?
If it's going to protect shores & wildlife that's a natural resource. We need something
to protect our natural resources in the next 10 yrs. - who will monitor this? The cost
is OK. {probe} No.
People swim in the water too.
(OS) [answer 2 and 4 circled] There was extreme harm from the Valdez & they are
still recovering. It was a disaster. We need to prevent this. {probe} No.
Prevent injuries & deaths to birds & sealife. Prevent problems w/ plants & shoreline.
If only $5 it would be great but if in the $100's the money could be spent on more
important things. {probe} No.
How long to implement the plan?
(OS) [answers 1 and 3 circled] I'd rather spend it on other things. {probe} No.
National Geographic.
I care but humans are more important.
R's 2 young children under 5 were acting up yelling & screaming during the
interview - R was very distracted but listened as best as she could.
Sounds like a good idea.
In the long run - it's to our advantage plus I want my children to enjoy the ocean
clean like I did when I was a kid - it was cleaner. The booklet says more are
endangered now but what about ten years from now - Why wait? It could be too late.
{probe} Protecting the shoreline. {probe} No.
$5 is not a lot - it had to be but that'd be worth it.
Do the kids count? {Sure}.
We went three times.
All my life. {probe}
Both.
R was pleasant and cooperative indicating that she'd been looking forward to our
contact. Her husband was helpful - when he knew she was the selected R, he
gathered up their children and took them for their baths so we would not be
disturbed. As indicated she thought the program would be worthwhile but
questioned whether it would really be implemented.

I'd like to see future oil spills prevented from affecting any of the California
coastline. Keeps the oil from reaching the coastline with those fences that they have.
{probe} We just don't have tons of land left in CA & what is left it would be nice to
preserve. Keep it looking nice.
(OS) Depends on the severity of the spill. It could be worse than this. It could be
less. You never know.
She had forgotten the appointment but was home.
Protect wildlife. {probe} Keep beaches clean. {probe} Keep the water from being
contaminated.
No.
It's only $5. The escorting idea is excellent. People that know where the rocks are
can prevent spills. Prevention is much better than having to fix it later. {probe}

I see here that the double hull finally passed! I had been reading about the proposal.
I was in Huntington Beach when spill occurred. They did an excellent job then. If
they could do that quick response it was small & easy clean up. It was good.
11117 a-12a Who pays for it? Typically a spill occurs in rough weather. How will it do in severe
weather? It doesn't appear to be an easy task in severe weather. If it is going to
contain 5% or 50% in severe weather is my question.
11117 pg12 Taxpayer sets up & oil co. pays a fee. What happens in an event of a spill? Who
pays? It should be 100% paid by the oil co. Cost of spill should be 100% oil co. of
the liability when they spill the oil.

I thought interview was being considered by the oil company. Why I asked if is
being done by State of Calif. I feel it is written with a big oil bias. [arrow pointing to

spill I feel the harm would be a lot more.
11117 d-16 There is no c choice [sic]. It is a tough question. *I would say c the creation of new
business [sic]. Run the program as a business so it is not a burden on the public.
Find someone who has the money to do the program as a business. Will also create
jobs & good jobs of free enterprise. Not capitalistic.

R, a retired lady, had oxygen tube coming from her nose - says she cares deeply
about animals & loves the coast - lives in mobile home on lake.

prevent accidents.
If the oil people would do it, it would be wonderful.
There's enough that people pay for as it is.
(OS) The oil companies have enough of their own money that they should pay for
their own problems - the tax monies go far enough of the wrong things already.

Since I don't live in the city.
That's getting bad here.
It's important but it's hard to do.
There's no beaches around here with lifeguards.
Too many cars there or it is I say [sic].
I'm sorta against it.
I've read quite a bit about oil spills that have gone on. Especially in National
Geographic.
I can see the money there.
Haven't they tried this before and it hasn't worked? Or did it take too long for them
to do it and the oil got away from them. It sounds like their ships would be there and
the other ships weren't there at the sight of the spill immediately. Sometimes when
the waves get a certain size it makes the job hard to do.
I don't mind the $65 but the gasoline is going to have to go up and ours is already a
lot higher then most places. There's not much employment around here and it makes
it rough on everyone. Even though they have public transportation they don't go
where the jobs go.
It would take up the oil. {probe} So it (the oil) wouldn't hurt the wildlife. {probe} It
is an important thing for the environment it is fragile for the same reasons I voted
against drilling offshore oil up here, there's no place for oil in the water.
Some of it's going get away from you [sic]. There's gonna be some slip through on
you.
I have a feeling it will be for more than one year to get it off the ground.
I basically knew what I wanted or I probably would have told you. Most of my
judgement was based on this area because I've lived here more than forty years.
Quite a few times.
I like the Discovery Channel otherwise I don't play television.
I just enjoy it.
Gasoline. They both hit you either way through the goods you buy or taxes.
They're having a lot of problems.
Selected DU address is actually [address given] confirmed by analyzing listing sheet
and segment maps. HH members do not receive mail there. They have a P.O. Box
in Scotia, CA. Selected R mentioned that other HH member is her ex-husband who
she said was invalid and she was providing care for him.
I've seen some of those people.
My husband's a hunter.
I'm not sure. Let me think. I don't think so.
How much will it cost?
Weigh costs vs. benefits.
$5 doesn't seem like very much but once the state gets hold of something it won't
shut it down. We will also have the hidden cost of gasoline prices the oil companies
will pass on. Once the state gets a bureaucracy going they will keep it going past the
ten years.

(OS) There will be more costs than projects. {probe} I don't think we need another
state bureaucracy which won't end in ten years. We keep seeing government getting
bigger and bigger.
I'm trying to remember the last oil spill. Was it in Santa Barbara?
Just like a start cost.
I think we were on part of it at one time.
Are we still going to have a bureaucracy? I'm tired of government saying it cost one
thing and then it's more.
{Breaks out in laughter}.
Because of the harm to birds - also fish - the canneries are fishing off this coast. The
fish also feed off the algae. {probe} My sons & I eat a lot of fish. {probe} No.
I don't think they have all the details of the damage being done.
Very nice R. Interested in the study. Very concerned about the harm to fish in the
affected area since she felt the waters there are fished commercially.
I am a surfer. {probe} The fee is a one time shot and I feel very worthwhile. {probe}
No.
With higher taxes you can write them off.
Interviewed this R. in his work place. Said he surfs a lot and is concerned about this
issue - also said as I was leaving that there must be leakage from platforms in the
ocean - What are they doing about that? (Told R I would make note of that).
8 months.
I haven't lived here long enough to judge.
R was 15 minutes late for app't - she had forgotten. Thank goodness I waited!
a-10a If these oil spills occur over periodic intervals, how can wildlife damaged by the oil
spills be expected to survive? What if the wildlife injured by a previous oil spill
encounters another? How will that species survive - or how would that affect the
survivability?
a-12 It sounds like a good program.
b-4
The oil companies should pay the entire bill for this program. {I then read statement
on p. 14}.
c-1
But I wonder where the gov't gets these statistics.
e-10 R said he found that the survey very interesting. R is going back into hospital. At
first, he was reluctant to do intv, but when finished he said that he was glad he had let
me in.

Sounds like a good idea to me.
It would protect the environment. {probe} Protect the environment and this is
important to me because I spend much of my free time fishing, camping, and other
outdoor activities. {probe} Keep the water clean.
I thought it would be a lot worse and take more time to recover.
{probe}
Interview was done in Respondent office. Although he had a phone call, his train of
thought as not adversely affected. He appeared to enjoy the experience.

Pretty much sums it up. I understand.
Clear.
Protect the environment and wildlife. Even if it is a small number of birds and so
forth (the animals) that would be saved.
R very environmentally conscious. I think she would have voted "for" no matter
what the cost.
11136
11136 a-12a Can they reuse that oil once they skim it?
11136 b-1
What can't they (the shipping people) pay for the whole thing? How does this oil
spill affect the human? EPA always after people to set up compliance programs.
Thousand of dollars don't see how it's any different. Why shipping companies can't
set it up as well? How does a 2 hull really resolve the problem? if it's going to affect
the human. Figure out another way.
11136 b-4
(OS) The oil companies should have to implement just like a manufacturing
company has to comply to AQQD.
11136 e-10 Good interview!
11137

It would save the lives of the animals that you spoke about. {probe} No.
11137 e-10 R is for program in order to save animals.
11138

It would save the animals you mentioned and save our beaches. {probe} No.
11138 e-10 R for program to save animals and beaches.

It protects the coastline. It keeps it clean. I don't think it's that much money to
protect the coastline.
11139 c-1
(OS) A little more.

protecting them, it protect the land in which we live - It's all related - {probe} We

We went out in the boat.
We see them out in the water That's great. God!
It's certainly not good for beaches - it's horrendous.
It sounds great. {Husband interrupted for 5 minutes to talk about fishing problems}.
(OS) I think it would be up to the oil companies themselves to pay for everything the taxpayers have enough. {probe} No.
R & wife, avid ocean fishermen, talked about how fish in the ocean have disappeared
and how disappointed their grandchildren are - Husband got started on this subject
midway during IW - and finally got to complete IW.
11145 e-10
11146
11146 a-12a Who runs the ships? Merchant marine?
11146 pg12 We'll all pay for it at the pumps 11146 b-4
(OS) Probably both - having to fork out that money, the importance of it & the
overall cost of it--we'll be paying for the whole thing - I wish if I had to pay a bill, I
could ask someone else for it. {probe} No.
11146 e-10 Busy mother, encountered on return from a walk with whole family, left children w/
husband outside during IW - he checked periodically to see if she was done - she
stuck w/ it - very large new home.
11147
11147 pg11 It sounds expensive to me - It's just like those guys in Washington - who will pay for
it?
11147 b-4
(OS) I don't believe in raising taxes anymore - the cost of living is so high - I can
afford it but other people can't {probe} No.
11147 c-4
you're stuck with it - once on they don't take it off.
11147 d-15 I'm not thinking only about myself - the other people also.
11147 e-10 R a very alert 87 yr old, interested in many things, talked a lot about things
happening in the past - I spoke more slowly & she grasped everything - delightful
lady.
11148
11148 pg10 Better than transport oil on the highway.
11148 b-4
(OS) See above reason. There is no such thing as a temporary tax. I would rather
see the oil companies have double hulls in 5/yrs instead of the 10 yrs [illegible] the
program.
11148 c-3
I don't know how will it would work. Sounds good but will it work? And seems
very costly. 24 hrs man & equipment.
11148 c-4

he didn't have much time.
11149

Help prevent more oil spills. {probe} That's it. Would it be a one time tax. If it
would be every year I think it would be too high. {RR pg 14 1st pg.}.

It would save all the birds & sealife. {probe} I want a sandy beach & not a black
beach. This program might help in keeping them clean. {probe}
The one time assessment is O.K. that's all.
No.
That's not preventing the oil from spilling is it? A lot of this is politics.
Two things - it would provide employment & it would possibly help to clean up the
spills - I have reservations about how long the tax would remain. {probe} No - just to
clean up the spills.
Who pays for the cleanup in the SF & LA area? I think it will be a perpetuating
thing that will never stop.
Although he did ask how they know.
Retired good humored gentleman, reluctant to do IW, but become interested as soon
as we got into environmental issue - he voted without hesitation.
Protect the environment - that's important. {probe} But on second thought the oil
co's. should pay the bill and not us taxpayers.
Let's change the oil co's. I don't want the state to have to pay the taxes. The oil co's
should pay all.
No.
It's important to save the coastline for future generations.
I've seen those at work I've worked with the schools & am pretty much up to date on it.
This is just like they have in Alaska.
Future generations. {probe} Eventually if we don't do something about protecting the
environment, children will be asking what is a tree, what color was the ocean?
{probe} Nothing else.
But maybe more than 1 depending on govt.
Because of my husband's stroke.
R, suffering from back injury, had to be on floor during IW - has many pets roaming
around - husband in back bedroom, recovering from massive stroke - both formerly
actively employed in school district - R very concerned about environment.
11154
11154 a-10a Well, how long for the effect on birds? {probe} Most marine life is not affected?
How many spills each year? & what companies to blame? Are some more careless
then other? Professionally I'm interested in knowing which companies are careless.
Who is more safe? {probe} That's all.
11154 a-12a What size spill? What if there was a huge spill? {probe} That all. {probe} What size
of tankers? how much oil? {probe} That's all.
11154 b-2
Well, wildlife is important to me - keeping coastline clean - It's important to put
guidelines on oil companies to be careful. $25 is not a lot on a one time basis interested in what other people think? I think it won't get passed. {probe} That all.
11154 d-16 What would the prices be?
11154 e-10 SP was interrupted by phone calls but seemed happy to participate. He would like to
know how many people voted for the program & how many voted against.
11155
11155 b-2
Just saving the wildlife & keeping our beaches clean for the children & keeping the
water fairly clean. {probe} No.

R; very pregnant, IW'd on front doorstep - she lives with family in small home a
block from ocean. Husband nearby working on car.
It would make less a chance to killing more animals. {probe} It would speed up the
process of cleaning up the oil. {probe} And the oil would possibly not make it to the
shore. {probe} Give more jobs for 10 years.
We enjoy them. When we go to the ocean we look at everything.
Man, wife & 2 small children - did interview outside - with some distractions, but
generally it was pleasant and the respondent was attentive - somewhat. Very nice to
do interview, as I had bugged them a lot. Hard to find a good time.
11158
11158 a-10a Why not use the routes that are farther out and not have as many problems?
11158 b-2
To prevent possible death or injury in the Central Coast to the animals. {probe} To
prevent spills that ruin the looks of the coast. It sounds like a good plan to me.
11158 c-1
I thought a lot more injury but not as many deaths so I say less.
11158 e-10 Interview was conducted on front porch. Respondent was very interested because
she travels highway 1 frequently.
11159
11159 pg5
What steps have they taken to start this? All of them should be double hulled.
11159 pg8
10 yrs! How about now! 1 bird is too much. We shouldn't be hurting them.
11159 pg9
If nothing else happens.
11159 pg10 How? The state should make the companies pay for this.
11159 pg13 How much?
11159 b-1
How is it assessed? {probe} {Q by Q}. If everyone pays & it's enforced.
11159 b-2
It would save these birds & keep a pretty shoreline instead of an oily shoreline. The
oil companies should pay for this though. {probe} No.
11159 c-1
(OS) I had no idea.
11159 c-3
If it was used immediately and not too much oil was spilled.
11159 c-4
1 time you said.
11159 d-12 I'm not real sure.
11159 d-15 If enforced & collected from everyone.
11159 d-16 Would that be sales tax? {probe}
11160
11160 b-4
(OS) For the amount of damage & the federal program in affect in 10 yrs it wouldn't
be worth it.
11162
11162 a-1d System is lousy.
11162 b-2
Keep the oil from killing the animals in the Central Coast or the wildlife in general.
Ten years is a long time to take a chance. {probe}
11162 d-14 Can't be much worse. It has to get better.
11162 e-10 Respondent was rather despondent at time of interview but found it very interesting.
She did talk at length on parts of section A getting a little off the track.
11168
11168 a-2a It's a state problem not a federal problem.
11168 a-2b That's entirely a local problem.
11168 a-2c I don't see that as a federal issue.

It's gonna happen with the three strikes law!
I have a different reason against it, as you said it would be paid by a one time tax per
household I prefer it be a tax at the pump instead because that is where most of the
oil is going to be, for gasoline. There are other things to do with it. Either pay for it
at the pump or don't have the program. The number of wildlife is a reasonable loss
considering the utility of oil deliveries. Are the escorts only going to be with the
single hull vessels or both single and double hulls?
(OS) The method of payment should be at the pump and alternatively I think those
are acceptable losses. {probe} I can see why many people would want the program
though. {probe} Nothing else.
I had mixed feelings at one point it tended to make me vote for the program. The
information given is barely informative to make a decision. It is as even handed as
can be for a survey.
It's more insidious for government to make businesses pay because then it shows up
in prices. I would rather have government pay for it by tax because then I have some
jurisdiction over it.
Interview took place at selected R's law office. There were a couple of phone
interruption but otherwise I had selected R's attention. We were scheduled to
conduct the study at 9:30AM. I was on time but he made me wait almost 45 minutes
because he was preoccupied with other matters.
In a way but we are pushing too hard in some areas. We need to be careful about our
industry.
Not too worried as far as our coast. We don't have too much oil.
Everything is duplicated so many times. We don't need another OSHA like Cal
OSHA because we have a fed OSHA.
It's more of a federal bureaucracy. They are taking the jobs away.
At least in the winter time. Relatives should help some.
We don't need to add anymore endangered species.
Up in our area we don't do that.
We could use closed bases. Rent a prison is a good way to solve the problem.
They migrate a lot the Brandt's Cormorant.
With the program they already have I can't. [illegible] the cost in saving the 12,000
birds I would be against any state program because all those birds will reproduce. It
will cost millions and millions of dollars. I wouldn't be for that at all. We already
have a program up here with booms and all that. With the rough waters up here you
might or will forget it.
{Laughs}.
In theory this sounds good but in fog you are probably going to lose some escort
ships. You are talking about millions billions of dollars to set this up. It's too
expensive. We are just blowing. Just wait until all ships are double hull. There's no
advantage to this.
That's a joke. Who's going to pay the gas bill? We will be paying double when they
pass the costs onto us.
(OS) It is a waste of money to the taxpayer over the period of time you wouldn't save
the amount it would cost. (wildlife, oil?) {probe} It's too expensive of a program for
what it would do. {probe} They can never run anything for what they say everything
they get estimate on it costs 10x as much. What the oil is going to kill is minor in
comparison to the length of time. The cost will outweigh the good.

They are more careful now than in the past.
I lost more birds than that when I was raising turkeys. With the amount of seagulls I
don't think you could deliberately exterminate them. Birds tend to move around a
lot.
I didn't even consider it. this is not something we need to be putting out. They
would have to come back to the taxpayer. No way would one time pay the bill. I
wouldn't vote on this because of the $65 but vote against it because it is another tax.
Most of it.
I do believe in the environment. Not to go out and destroy it, but I'm not against
logging. I'm for sustained yield. I am against the endangered species act.
I'm against answering that.
Depends on inflation.
I don't feel the government has the right to take private land away from people. All
that public land should be sold to private people to raise revenues in taxes.
I feel most people have lost confidence in their leaders. They don't do nothing but
fight.
Ideal interviewing situation.
11169 e-10
11170
11170 a-10a They're going to put in a double hull, huh? That's very important. Whoever has the
oil tanker should pay to clean it up. Otherwise, they always hit the taxpayer.
11170 a-12 It probably would be a good thing.
11170 a-12a It would be for 10 years until they have double hulls, then they'd throw it out?
11170 pg14 A year? What about if you don't vote for it?
11170 b-4
(OS) $200 a year is just as good to me as it is to them. And for 10 years - that counts
up. But I don't think I'll be here that long. Today, the people want the gov't to do
everything.
11170 c-1
It depends on how many oil spills they have.

For 10 years.

11171 a-10a What are they doing now to prevent it? {the harm}.
11171 pg10 Who is going to pay for this?
11171 pg12 At the end we who buy gas are going to pay.
11171 b-4

hole. I said "no hulls" and put my hands into a v-shaped boat, indicating the outer
hull. She nodded and said "okay".
11176 e-10 R seemed a little tired and not overly-interested in the IW, but she was attentive. She
has a heavy Spanish accent when she speaks, but seemed to understand English well
enough to do the IW. The only problem was as mentioned at E-5a.

Is this the real only issue you're going to talk about? Some of the issues are more
important.
(OS) The oil companies should pay for it - they will pass the cost on to the consumer
anyway. They should be totally responsible. They have the money - they are now
making the big profit. I don't think the taxpayer should have to pick up the tab.
DK. (OS) I can only base my opinion on what you show me. I just DK.
DK.
R who was very rude initially was very courteous and said again, he was sorry. He
was glad he took the time to do survey.
That's good.
Are we 100% sure this program will work?
Protect wildlife. {probe} The birds and others. Protect the environment from further
damage.
We all live on the same planet. We cannot obliterate our wildlife or we will destroy
ourselves.
Hesitant.
Or I wouldn't have voted for it.
My impression was 1 yr.
R said this survey was very interesting and glad to help.
It would be preservation of wildlife. {probe} The birds and other animals would be
saved.
(OS) I didn't think at all. I just listened to what you were saying.
Waited while SP had a phone call then had to feed child, then say good bye to guests.
Money was no problem in this wealthy HH. SP did care about the wildlife.
That's a one time thing?
It would protect the birds. {probe} My main concern is the wildlife and marine life.

When I was younger I used to go to the beaches.
All of these are also in danger! {R was referring to other species in the ocean}.
It is satisfactory the way it is described.
(OS) Oil companies should share the expenses created by the accidents and oil spills.
This is not the way it works. People can think what they want, but it is up to the
government.
11187 a-10a What does it do to the fishing industry? I mean commercial fishing in the area, could
spills cause problems which indirectly would cause loss of jobs in the fishing
industry?
11187 a-12a How large of an area the fence could surround? The circumference of the area?
11187 b-2
We owe it too all the animal life in this area. If it would save jobs from fishing
industries. Save our coast. (Central Coast) {probe} It would prevent spills and save
the wildlife in that area and broken down it would only be 6.50 a year which I feel is
not that much to pay to prevent spills and save our wildlife there.
11187 b-3
If I knew what affect it does have on the fishing industries would make a difference
because they do swim out of the area.
11187 c-4
Never see one year on any government program. It definitely crossed my mind.
11187 e-10 Respondent was very incessant that the fishing industry would somehow be affected.
11188

11190
11190 a-10 I remember the big oil spill. Some species may be gone forever.
11190 a-10a Where are your scientists' numbers coming from? a computer? I think your numbers
of destroyed birds and animals are much too low.
11190 a-12 Why can't the oil companies pay for the clean up and find a way to have their own
escort ships. I guess we have to take care of it if they can't. They are the ones who
have the big profits. I think it's a good program.
11190 pg12 The oil companies will increase the price and the taxpayer will pay both at the pumps
and through taxes. How many times a week does an oil tanker pass through the
Central Coast. If they only have 3 or 4 passing in a week, what will all those
employees do the rest of the time? We will be paying high wages for the crews to be
sitting around most of the time.
11190 b-2
This planet is going down hill. {probe} The food is running short and begins with the
loss of our wildlife. {probe} Too much danger to our animals. {probe} We must
save our birds and animals. {probe} It would save the planets and wildlife.

I said only for 1 year that I'd be willing to pay.

11190 e-10 SP was willing. Other male HH member complained that we weren't going to stop
trying for the interview so he asked SP if he wanted to do it. SP replied "yes" [name

porch. SP seemed intelligent and thanked me for coming.

No gun control questions??
How often do oil spills happen?
Would this program provide more jobs?
(OS) Also can't afford it but since it is a temporary program, it would be too costly to
set up these 3 stations and supply the escort ships.
Husband was very concerned that their name would not be used for mailings of any
kind.
I pretty much know.
Good idea - it seems like.
Protect the lives of animals and keep the beaches clean for the people - I mean the
water and shoreline.
Do you mean with the program? If they had the program it would be less.
SP seemed to be confused at Ques C-1. I repeated Ques.
New ideas for schools seems is going backward [sic].
I understand.
I can see how it works. Why can't the oil companies buy these escort ships?
Just pass a new law that would allow the oil companies to pay for the escort ships.
What amount would they have to pay? For the fee I'd have to read the whole bill to determine what is going to happen in the future.
The government is good at changing things as it goes along. They restructure and I
may not be able to pay more taxes.
(OS) I have no idea. No way for me to make an estimate.
I'm inclined to believe.
7th grade.
They only affect the people who use the product.
Good question.
SP did not want to commit himself to the voting ques.
Claimed he needed to read the entire bill before he could decide to vote.
SP does not want to pay more taxes and is very concerned about the harm to wildlife
and our environment but feels the oil companies or whomever caused the pollution
should pay to clean and maintain the situation totally.
Sounds like it's pretty much in control.
I would feel good about doing something for the environment and $5.00 is not that
much. {probe} The program will prevent those 12,000 birds and animals from dying.
You explained it would be only one time.
SP very concerned about environment.
(OS) When the oil companies don't have any problems they don't share their benefits
or profits with the taxpayers though this program should exist.
{Refused!}
Why do we taxpayers need to pay for this program?
None.
{probe} It would avoid spills, those hurting and killing birds and the small animals.
It would work until the ships are made more safe.
I only know what I make.

Just what you said - it would prevent the deaths of the birds.
What's that again? {RQ}
R is a married Hispanic female in her mid-50's, she was attentive to the iw but felt
that the issue wasn't very pressing to be done quickly. R had just arrived home from
work & had "forgotten" I was coming.
But evidently the oil will get them all.
You never said anything about the turtles!
They should take the greater cost - the oil companies should have the most.
If I had the $25 to spend - I would vote for it - But at my age you have to watch your
money.
Protecting the wildlife - {probe} The smells that come out of the water when oil spills
is terrible. {probe} But we have to clean up the air in general. {probe} No.
Fires can erupt from oil spilled on water - no one thinks of that.
Depending on how much oil was spilled.
I put the next few years out of my mind. I live day by day.
If I could afford it.
This R was concerned she may give "wrong" answers. We spoke a lot about "no
right or wrong answers." R enjoyed the IW. Think she felt "privileged" to be chosen
to be IW'd. This R is very deaf. She is very good at reading lips. Digressed a bit
during IW, but she is quite lonely.

any of that. {probe} No.
11199 pg12 The oil co. should pay for all of it because they can afford it.
11199 b-1
I'm not that cheap - I guess I'd pay $5 for it.
11199 b-2
Cause I think nature is important - the beauty of it for those that enjoy it. {probe}
The program's only temporary and the companies will eventually take responsibility.
{probe} I believe it's important to keep the environment clean - when I see pollution
- not just companies, but people, throwing trash - I get upset. That's why it's so ugly
around here. {probe} I'll probably think of something better later.
11199 c-1
(OS) How's that again? {RQ} Less, but not a lot less.

prices.
11199 e-10 At A-12A, R said she's "not really interested in wildlife or any of that," then at D-6

11203
11203 a-1a They are cutting down on everything in schools.

11203 b-1
Would I have to pay it all at once? {I repeated top paragraph}.

DK. If the program was not being used.
11203 d-15 If I could pay it in smaller amounts, I'd vote FOR. I don't like the pollution.
11203 d-16 Neither but if I had to...
11203 d-17 I don't think about the government.
11203 e-10 This young mother is struggling to pay her bills with her small wages yet she is
concerned about the environment enough to want to make small payments toward
cleaning up the oil.

11204 a-12 Not really - Why haven't they done something about it before now?
11204 b-4

interested in reading any of the answers in card book. I couldn't figure out if she was
extremely bright or couldn't read. I had to get out of my car to open gate at end of
long driveway with a Doberman (unleashed) looking at me (sitting - not barking).

11206 a-12 They are private boats - I didn't think the state paid for this.

R felt the state was after him for some reason. He did not want to do intw. Worried
about that I was a state official. (Guess I convinced him) At the end of intw. R said
he just hated to help the State politicians in any way. That's why it was so hard to get
him to agree to interview.
OK.
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
Oh good.
Does it harm the humans - when they go to the beach? {probe}
If it works. It sounds good.
The harm over 10 years is not that great and the birds and small animals will recover.
I'd rather spend this money on something more important.
If it works. If we spend that money.
Even though all her groceries were waiting to be unpacked.
R was very courteous - said she was sorry it took so long to catch up with her. Said
she is from Egypt and loves it here. Thanked me for coming and said she was happy
to do interview. Really thinks the problem with the oil is not as important than other
social issues.
Truthfully.
Highly important {probe}.
{5 minute telephone interruption}
The oil companies should have started a program like this years ago with their
billions; on the other hand $5 is not a lot {probe}. That's still tough -I think.
Well, me - I like clean beaches. When the beaches are dirty - it's no fun. {probe}
Clean beaches, clear water. {probe} No - I guess not.
Everyone wants to make up their own mind but...
Because I wouldn't have known about it otherwise. {probe} No.
We don't get much TV. {D-6 R's reference to the fact that where he was they can't
get a clear signal}.
Since 1952.
R was both cooperative and hospitable; he served me coffee and was willing to do
the IW right then. He said he enjoyed the interview but wondered about the number
and costs associated with multiple studies. He mentioned that double-hulling was
not the answer; instead, he felt we've got to learn to be a lot more careful. He told
me of some rather severe health problems he's recently had making it difficult for
him to resume his work career even with his advanced degree!
(OS) What was the first one? {RR} Probably. I think it's just another expense the
state can't afford. Five dollars isn't a lot but I think it'd become more and I just don't
trust what they have to say. {probe}
(OS) Didn't give it a consideration - I'd like to see them open that oil area for
pumping. They've had that moratorium on.
Didn't consider it - Amount has nothing to do with it.
6 - less than 5. {D-7 R was being facetious}.
Is there a 3rd choice? {Yes}
R was quite willing to do the IW right after having been introduced to the study. We
sat on his porch; he'd indicated his indoor dogs would be a problem. He had little to
175
6/21/2016 6:44:00 AM
say during IW but indicated afterwards that he and his wife were "fed up" with
California and as soon as their house sells, they're moving to Idaho.

(OS) If the oil companies are required to pay the other half then there not really
because they'd pass that along in higher gas prices - they're not going to take a loss.
Also, the other reason is it's political - the technology exists to take care of this in
other ways.
Are you referring to {RR}.
I would say...
It seems like it's kind of one-sided toward the oil companies pro-prevention. {RR}
Do I have to choose one of those? {No}.
R was polite and agreed to IW immediately. He was somewhat reticent during IW
but was at ease speaking about his military career afterwards. Also, he mentioned
having read an article in Science Magazine about a gum substance that successfully
attracted petroleum products in the event of a spill. Note his reference to this at B-4.

important issues to be addressed. {probe}

As I said there are more important issues.
Because this respondent does not pay taxes, she felt that she was not a good
respondent. She answered on what she felt other taxpayers would feel.
Since we live up here.
Obviously.
I hate to see the state involved.
It sounds reasonable.
Why can't they? It's like OSHA. They are going to pass the cost on anyway. They
can actually have their own escort ships. I don't think the taxpayer should pay for it
because it is private enterprise.
(OS) I believe it should be private enterprise paying for their own costs and it
shouldn't be passed on to taxpayers or with many state programs. I believe in
preventing spill but I think they (the oil companies) should pay for it. Just more
bureaucracy.
(OS) I have no idea. How would I know that?
Not totally. It depends on the conditions like gales or rocks and the boat won't pick
up the oil.
I didn't think about that.
I'm probably a conservationist.

he thought the state was looking for him and I'd have him arrested. Said he hated the
polluted waters and all the businesses who create pollution should pay - not the
taxpayer.
Thought.
I don't think those scientists can determine these numbers.
They would guide tankers? We know the oil must get around for our use from one
place. We must move it from city to city. Sounds like a good idea.
Makes sense. It's good.
It will protect wildlife and shorelines for everyone. {probe} I don't think the
scientists can tell all the harm. We destroy so much - if we spend money on
education, we will have a lot of brilliant people who won't have a planet to live on. If
we don't keep it from being destroyed. We can not be sure it wouldn't harm the next
generations somehow. We destroy the wildlife and in a long period of time who
knows what will happen. By protecting the natural environment we protect
ourselves.
Maybe.

I caught him in the front yard. He was reluctant at first but after I explain he warmed
up and listened.
Definitely.
Just to protect our coastline for economic reasons and for the whole state. {probe}
{{probe} specific} No, I just think it's overall protection of our coastline. I'm not one

Nice friendly lady. Had just moved from an apt in Costa Mesa to lg. house in
Fullerton.
Why do they leave?
It's the principle of being responsible for not letting it happen & taking care of it
when it does happen. {probe} No. {{probe} specific}.
It's the principle.
I don't believe the numbers are accurate. {probe} No.
(OS) The state of Ca is bankrupted now don't need to spend more money. Why cant'
those ship stay on course? Wouldn't work. {probe}
Because of the number of birds {probe}.
Does it affect humans?
That's wonderful!
How is it funded?
We could enjoy beaches more if there was a spill. It would prevent the animals from
harm. {probe}
There are a lot of spills. We don't know about.
It's tax deductible anyway.
$25 is a big deal.
(OS) I think the money could be used for other programs other than environmental mostly social programs. {probe}
Very quiet serious R, listened attentively. Wife in kitchen nearby.
(OS) They need to focus on keeping children safer after school. After school
programs are more important. {probe}
Charge a little more for the oil.
What's a double hull? {Q x Q}
I know about the harm.
It didn't sound small.
(OS) Both of the first 2 reasons Quiet lady, listening to religious music & sermon & rodeo while doing IW - leery of
starting IW but cooperative & pleasant - had a speech impediment.
Looks like it would work.
It's a one time deal, huh?
It would prevent my seafood from being contaminated. You can taste the difference
between fish that is and isn't contaminated. {probe}
It is though.
That's one time?
This guy doesn't look Hispanic but screener says he is. Looks like No. 1 to me.
R very happy to do interview.
Because I don't understand about the oil. {probe} I need help to decide. {probe} No.

She seemed to be leery of making a commitment - said she had to check with her
boyfriend about how serious the problem was.
Filipino lady, seemed to speak English OK, periodically asked what certain words
(i.e. environment) meant - hesitant about giving opinion. Was cooperative though as
best she could be.
What is the liability of the oil company?
Why does the state have to provide money for the cleanup?
They only use this particular type of cleanup? They can use other materials.
What percentage does taxpayer's pay versus the oil company? How often does this
happen?
(OS) It's just not worth the expense because of oil spills not happening this often.
{probe} The oil companies should be liable for everything. {probe} No.
It's not the $25 - it's the liability of the oil company R & husband, a naval officer, listened intently to Q's - both had varying opinions and
very familiar w/ oil spills - husband works w/ them thru Navy assignment - they live
in quarters on military base.

It would make the oil companies more financially responsible for their spilling the oil
and also once a beach fowled by the oil it takes much longer that they are saying it
does to get back to completely normal because their oil does not break down as
rapidly they're saying it disperses but after all of the volatile chemicals [sic].
Disperse you are left with the tor [sic] it [illegible] up into -- junk.

It's an interim program better solutions in the future.
(OS) We're being taxed for I don't think it's that high in the priority system. The oil
companies don't pay for it they pass that along. {probe}
Really I don't have much bases to prog investigate [sic]. I don't keep up on what's
going on in the oil business & how the petroleum products are being [illegible].

$25 isn't that much to save that many birds. {probe} To some the birds and the small
animals and to keep the shoreline clean. We probably waste that much in lottery
tickets a year.

could find out which state agency.
We live at one.
I've seen all of them.
I think it's gotten covered.
It sounds like it will cost a lot.
How good will the skimmer pickup the oil? How many oil spills do we average
every year?
I think it's important but it's not the money, but we have other problems like with
crime. There's 12,000 birds dying but there are 290,000 of one kind that doesn't
seem like much. It's not a money issue but there are other things.
(OS) We need to put more money into preventing crime and other bad stuff going on
like gangs and drugs. {probe} It is not at the top list.
Then I didn't vote for it.
I didn't vote for it. I feel kind of guilty.
I didn't think about employment of jobs. $65 is not that big of a deal.

Husband was present during most of the interview and made several comments
pertaining to the interview and on several occasions altered the selected R's train of
thought especially about the concept of job creation which selected R's husband
mentioned before the selected R. Husbands comments may have changed selected
R's vote on the second voting question from against to for the program.
With small kids yes.
Here we have a low level.
There's definitely a problem.
Would it be funded by state tax dollars? Would the companies transporting the oil
pick up any of the costs?
What are we talking about a one time fee? They should work it in the budget.
They're not enough coming in on gasoline tax? I think it's a good idea. There should
be money already. I'm voting against on the principle not that I'm a cheapskate.
(OS) I feel we already have a gasoline tax and DMV (Drivers of motor vehicle)
registration there should be enough money. {probe} That's it the money should
already be there.
I feel this is underestimated.
You look at the numbers. They're not that great. We should handle it properly and
by prepared.
From what you said.
It is our environment though.
I like to be optimistic but seeing the way things are.

Initially selected R was very pressed for time and let it be known throughout the
interview. There were several interruptions with telephone calls, his wife leaving for
work, several kids requiring attention including one baby needing his diaper
changed. But overall despite the competition for attention I felt the selected
respondent was attentive as best he could be.
I seldom deal with that.
They are needed for the education.
We don't deal with that here.
People should provide their own training.
I hate to see people without houses but if they can work.
I don't like what they've done around.
I've probably seen them. I just enjoy watching.
I don't feel it's important. {probe} It will be taken care of in ten years (the oil spills).
There are too many other things more important, like the elderly. {probe} Oil spills
generally get cleaned up. {probe} No.
Because there are more restrictions like fines.
I think it's pretty serious killing those animals but there are other things more
important.
Compared to before the program?
I hadn't thought about it.
Once in a while we enjoying that.
Husband was present during the duration of the interview. He did interject a few
comments. They both felt the same way about the bulk of the study that there are
more important social issues to be dealt with than this environmental issue.
Without it they'd be worse than now.
I never really paid that much attention.
I'd have to see it broke down and see what it was going to be. {probe}
Because it's just one more thing the state doesn't need to try to manage. They should
pass a law if you are going to carry oil you should be responsible for it. {probe}
(OS) I have no idea.
Initially but long term not too bad.
It would only be as effective as the people running it. {probe}
What part of the government? {probe}
R shared only that he is self employed in a "service industry". He sat on porch steps.
I sat on the ground. He refused any identification.

11354 a-10 I've read about this.
11354 a-12a Will the oil company pay?
11354 pg12 There's a critter to put in the water to eat the oil?
11354 b-2
All the things you said. {probe} Save all the ocean life. {probe} We shouldn't pay

Knowing this lady had previously refused, it was a real surprise when she invited me
right off to sit down & do the interview.
11355
11355 pg6
And none of them are in danger of becoming extinct? And these are the ones harmed
by oil spills in that area?
11355 a-10a You said within 10 years the barges will have to have 2 hulls? How well does that
work? How much do they expect that to reduce the amount of oil? They didn't say,
did they? They're pretty tricky about what they put in here. It sounds like they do
not think we should bother doing anything about this, from what you've told me so
far.
11355 pg10 How? No kiddin! You'd think they could do that for themselves, wouldn't you?
And how much is that going to cost?
11355 pg13 You didn't tell me how much that one time tax will be. Yeah, & then you wonder
what kind of injury. Do they suffer or doe, or are they crippled?
11355 pg14 Oh really? Is that all? Oh shit - do it.
11355 b-1
Is that $5 based on the number of people living in this house?
11355 b-2
As people we have a responsibility to take care of things we screw up in nature. And
for that amount of money...{probe} It's not that much money. {probe} Saving the
birds & the prevention of more damage.
11355 c-6a It says that it's not going to harm any endangered species, & that it won't be a lasting
harm, & that we won't need it anyway in 10 years. {probe}
11355 e-10 R was preparing dinner, attending to the needs of her 3 1/2 year old son, & talking
occasionally to her 17 year old daughter. She understood what was being said, but
she was often distracted.
11356
11356 pg3
Is this whole thing about one issue?
11356 a-8
I don't know their names, but I've seen them all.
11356 pg6
How do they know how many birds there are? Do they count them? {Joking}.
11356 a-10a The oil can't just dissipate. It has to go somewhere & do something. In 10 years it
could wipe out a tourist industry - hotels, restaurants, B & B's, etc., not to mention
the birds. That's a lot of people hurt, too.
11356 pg10 So they want to use our tax money to loan to the tanker companies to have double
hulls? They should do it themselves - why should we loan them our money?
Especially after the Valdez. They should have made them have double hulls after
that spills.
11356 a-12a That's a good idea.
11356 pg13 But those are just minute reasons. The gov't wants us to vote against this; I feel like
I'm looking at a campaign flyer. Before I could vote on it, I'd have to look at the
figures. We're going to get it both ways - the oil companies will raise gas costs, &
we'll have to pay the tax - unless the gov't puts a cap on the oil price increases.
11356 b-4
(OS) They need to work the bill so that if they're going to charge us a one-time tax so
steep, that there is some kind of guarantee about the cost of oil prices. And there is
so much waste in government. {probe}
11356 c-6a The reasons that they put down "for" the program - the number of birds, etc. is not
important, but the fishing industry & other businesses are important. This wasn't
presented fairly for people that appreciate the coast. {probe}

I'm for anything that protects our shorelines, because I love the beauty of it, I use it
all the time, & I want to preserve it for my children & grandchildren. {probe} The
way it will be set up is pretty good. {probe} No.
Based on the weather conditions when it happens, & any breakdowns on the ship, &
whether it's crude oil or refined oil. I also think that disbanding the program after
everything has double hulls is not a good idea - a reef can go through 2 hulls. And,
there has to be a monitoring of any break on either the primary or secondary hull.
I think they should continue the escort program, & make the oil companies pay for it.
They'll just pass on the cost to us, but who cares? Gas is $4 a gallon in Europe.
We sat outside on R's front steps, & he was distracted by passing cars & pedestrians.
Also, he told me that he is in an oil-related business; among other things, he cleans
up environmentally contaminated gas stations.
Is the oil for sale only in the state of CA? {referring to refined oil}.
You can't tell me how much gas would go up, can you? {probe} Not enough
information is given. {probe}
(OS) I have a feeling the cost of gas would go up. With all the technology they've
got they should be able to prevent spills without a program like this. {probe}
The bigger question is - they are like fire stations. If we need them then great, but if
no spills happen in 10 yrs. they go out. I think it's like indians {and the white men implied}, putting wagons in a circle & the cost at the pump will go up. {probe} I
don't know. {probe} Nothing.
R journalist who thinks we should all ride bicycles.
pg5
But you've also got sea lions up on these rocks.
a-12a Would a majority of crabs & other small animals be killed?
b-2
For anything that would keep our coastline clean & clear, I'm for it. Also, our crabs
& clams are way down from what they used to be. And more birds would be killed;
the numbers will be higher in the future. Until they get the double hulls, we need to
protect (the coast) from the oil spills. It doesn't seem like a big price to pay. {probe}

week.
11363
11363 a-10 The numbers seem really low.
11363 a-10a I'd like to know how much of the states funds are being spent. There are much
broader implications. {probe} The beaches would need cleaning. {probe} What have
been the long-term effects over the last 50 years of spills?
11363 a-12a Is it state funded or would the oil companies pay for it.
11363 b-2
Protection of wildlife is a critical issue - no matter how few or how many are
harmed. {probe} The idea of prevention is better than after-the-fact cleanup. {probe}
I like the idea that oil companies are being held accountable.
11364

Protect the coastline. {probe} That's it.
11364 e-10 R is a small business man having a hard time keeping his business in business - Was
very reluctant when I talked to him at his home. Found it interesting after the fact.
11365
11365 a-12a How expensive is this? Have you listed everything it would hurt? {probe} Would it
hurt humans or anything other than what you said? {probe}.
11365 b-1
Would this take away from the other issues we talked about? This is really hard to
answer.
11365 b-4
(OS) The cost. There are more important things to spend the money on. If they are
the only hazards the birds and they are small in numbers I'd have to vote against it. It
might be to expensive for some households.
11365 d-16 I don't like that question that's hard to answer.
11365 e-10 Nice young woman said she was sorry she gave me such a hard time. Getting me out
so late (night). I got her to give me office ph. number for appt.
11373
11373 a-2a If they got any useful training it might be more important to me. Thru business I've
seen what they do. It's useless.
11373 a-2f I'm really not interested in any of this. Doesn't mean anything to me.
11373 pg6
I'm not interested in any of this study. I'm sorry. It's nothing personal just don't feel
well. I've had no lunch. We were sitting on a porch. She walked inside.
11401
11401 pg8
This has got to be from my office. I work for the U.S. Dept. of fish & wildlife
service. This number - 12,000 & 1,000 - seems real low to me.
11401 a-12a So oil doesn't go below 8'? Where do they come up with 8'? It sounds like a good
idea. And these ships are on call all of the time - 24 hours?
11401 pg12 That's good to hear. They would have to pay it? That's a good idea.
11401 b-2
For the birds & the wildlife - to protect them. The Exxon spill was devastating to the
wildlife. {probe} The wildlife - to me that's number 1. And, to keep the beaches
clean.

We're a wildlife type of family.
11401 e-10 R told me after the interview that she thinks this is a very good program, especially
because her office gets constant reports about oil spills all over the U.S.
11402

by disease they'll pass them on to humans.

6/21/2016 6:44:00 AM
11402 a-12a How much is it going to cost? Don't they have scanners to show the dept and what's
in the water?
11402 b-4
(OS) I think there's other ways of stopping it instead of setting that program up. For
these 10 years instead of going thru the water transport by land like trucks. {probe}
11402 e-10 We did the IW in my car as his dog is very vicious. His wife spent some time by the
window of the car.
11404
11404 a-12a Wouldn't there be a cheaper way? Have them on watch instead of going along with
the ships.
11404 b-1
If it's a lot more I'd say no.
11404 b-2
Because it's inexpensive $5.00. {probe} Is the price of fuel going to go up also?
{probe} R want the coastline to stay nice. {probe} It's always a nice place to go.

They never killed enough of seagulls. They should have killed more of them.
11405 pg10 That's too far apart.
11405 b-4
(OS) The government involvement in something because all they have to do is
enforce the laws. We watch the merchant ship take all the fish. We are going about
it wrong. Just tell the single hull ships don't come near our shores or we'll sink you.
The politicians aren't doing their job. {probe}
11405 c-6a The whole gist of the thing is doom & gloom & we're going to save you. {probe}
11405 d-16 Everytime you send money to government they take off their 15 or 20%.

11406 pg13 The percentage of death of the birds isn't that great of an amount. It's small in
number.
11406 b-4
[answer 1 and 2 circled] I think the value of human life is greater than that of birds.

11407 b-1
$5 bucks yes, more money say $100 or more - No - I just filled out my state taxes
and I paid them $2000 already and still owe more. I have to have a spill plan at my
plant in case a spill occurs. Why the oil companies have to do the same. I'd have to
believe they do.

Damn near all of them.

I believe the study here is done by an oil company, you dumped any garbage into the
ocean, this is bogus! These numbers are generated by oil companies and are too
conservative. If these tankers are using the waterways they should take that time and
clear, clean the clutter.
That would be a really good program but should be funded by the oil companies.
Why should I support them?
That is self-explanatory. The tanks on the escort will have to be large enough to
collect that amount.
I wouldn't mind putting a few dollars up but I'm against it ending in ten years. This
program should be for longer than ten years.
Something for the future to keep the ecosystem as close to natural as can be. {probe}
All the ecosystems. {probe} If one thing dies there's a chain reaction right down the
line. {probe} Don't mess with mother nature.
They have just as much right to the earth as we do. They were here first.
If they went through all that trouble to set this up that is the number.
I thought it ones time but one time each year [sic].
Constantly.
That's blowin their thing out of the water. Responsibility should be from the
companies causing it.
There should be a number 5 on there.

Not really.
Oil spill prevention and response centers? From whatever I understand tankers
already have escort ships. I did drug screening for Exxon and they developed that
same escort program after that accident not en route but after they parked. Especially
when they are transporting oil.
11413 a-12a How recent have oil spills occurred along the coast? How often are they as large as
the Valdez? I don't think that maybe extra precautions are needed if it doesn't happen
that often.
11413 pg12 Oil companies I'll go for (paying the cost). It should be their responsibility. With the
tax dollars we are paying for the ships and centers? Is this program going to be on
the ballot?
11413 b-2
Prevention to unnecessary deaths to any living animals. {probe} True it is only five
dollars. {probe} {probe} Prevention part after seeing what Valdez did, that area
changes are very slow and it causes hardship to surrounding environment.
11413 c-1
I don't know the statistics. I don't have that type of information.
11413 c-2
I think any harm is serious. If oil companies were forced to pay for this, they could.
A prevention program for them would be cheaper than being sued. They should pay
for the program themselves.

Shellfish.
Is the escort ship going to be a government program? Other than the sea coast
guard?
(OS) They could diversify the coast guard to include that as part of their daily duties.
{S/R referring to oil clean up} It's a good exercise for those guys, it's peacetime and
there's nothing else going on for them. {probe}
What are the existing laws for the tankers going in or out of this area? They should
pass additional laws to the oil companies on safety.
Mostly seagulls.
On PB's.
Now I'm not so sure.
To me higher prices on taxes is the same thing.
When they came up with this did they think about what's wrong with the old laws?
They should come up with some other ideas like using the Coast Guard. Have other
Pacific Coast states used this?
(OS) Filipino.
Ideal interview situation.
I used to live in Orange County. My wife hates beaches.
I read about it.
It's not that much. {probe} It's the long term effects. {probe} To save our beaches &
environment. We're very environmental. We recycle everything. {probe} No.
(OS) Don't know enough about the spills to know what it would be.
You said one year.

After being very reluctant to be screened & interviewed R & wife kept me at house
for 30 minutes showing me their gorgeous fantasy yard & home. They are retired
and living off invested money.
The oil co. would just raise the price of gasoline.
I'd pay the $65 but it's the principle, I don't think taxpayers should pay for this.
(OS) I feel the cost of gas would go up. This is something the oil co.'s should pay
for. {probe}
Very nice older lady. Her husband was in the oil business. He was present.
++ [pluses by answer].
Yes! It should be a priority. We have to protect our resources.
It ruins everything.
Who's going to pay for it? {Q by Q}.
It's completely devastating for the whole chain.
I'm for it.
How quickly would it be effective? Could it be implemented in time?
How much?
There are other issues like education. 12,000 kids are more important than 12,000
birds.
There are more important pending issues - education, crime - promotion of
California. {probe}
What about sea lions & other animals?
Wife was present for the complete interview - R had just had surgery & did not feel
well & allowed wife to do a lot of talking for him & says yes that's how I feel. R
owns a gas station and is not a citizen of the U.S.
But I can tell you right now my ans. will be no.
(OS) Many could be used for to many other important things like education. {probe}
The R was very short with me. This was not important to her only one issue to talk
about.
I'm a Christian school teacher. Don't believe in public schools.
(OS) Too much government reg. & interference. Everytime the gov. does something
it messes it up cost more than it should. {probe}
Nice man. School teacher. Nice house. Wife was not home.
It's important. {probe}
I can tell you I definitely want this - I'm definitely a "five" so if we can skip this.
{probe} {See E-10}.
It is not about extinction - it's about suffering - even just one bird dying.
I don't want to see this page anymore.
We just want to stop it.
{Brief interruption}.
Just how much it costs - it's a great idea.
Save the life of an animal. {probe} One dolphin one bird - I don't think it'll pass but
I'd vote for it. {probe} It should be half as much - $100 would be more reasonable
and probably pass.

None.
a-10a How is it going to affect the economy of California? Who is going to pay for this? I
believe the oil companies should pay 60% of maintaining the coast clean.
a-12a Is it going to be 100% effective. Is the oil still be recyclable. {R wanted to know
whether or not the oil could be recoverable}.

I deep sea fish, but in Costa Rica - Cuba & Mexican waters.
(OS) I don't think it is how the taxpayers money should be used. More damage is
done to fish & mammals by the commercial fishing boats that catch mammals in
their pets & slaughter then. The amount of money, no matter how much, is of no
importance to me.
But not off CA coast as I said.
Met this R at his office - he phoned me and requested a 10 AM interview time - I
arrived on time & waited for him for an hour. He was very apologetic about his
lateness. R enjoyed the interview - after the IW he asked "who" of "what" was
funding this study - said he was sure it was both oil & CA gov 't behind it.

Do we have a similar program in L.A. and San Francisco now?
The $5.00 is a low amount. I'm not sure government intervention would work. Why
not - the oil companies - they should have their own escort ships even for their own
protection.
1. It would help prevent deaths of birds and small animals. 2. Help minimize the
damage to the shore. 3. Protect the wildlife and plants.
1 time.
R couldn't understand why we couldn't have interview his wife. I feel the R was
mainly thinking $5.00 was not very much money to pay for a good program like this.
Stop the spills. Oil should not be in our ocean. I'm sure there is a way to stop these
spills.
Right. I'm aware of this.
I guess not.
Sounds like a good idea.
If it was only $5.
It would preserve our ocean, natural habitat, our wildlife. We must preserve our
world for future generations. We have destroyed too much of our world already.
They are just animals. They don't know any better. We must protect our animals.
Don't laugh. I'm really a pauper. I can't make it. My ex-husband doesn't pay me
alimony. The rent isn't paid.
That's a tough one.
R had 2 black eyes. Said she was afraid to let anyone in the house or let anyone
know she was alone. R was very concerned about our poisoned environment.
Not to include bilingual education, schools should teach English.
These questions are entirely too broad. Too difficult to answer. Who makes up this
questionnaire?
I know about this.
{SP very impatient}. What's the bottom line?
I'm well aware. Just what is the bottom line?
Why can't they legally charge the oil companies? How many oil spills in a year?
Why do they (the tankers) travel so close to shore?
One would have to have more information.
It's the principle. Change the law! I don't think tax payers should pay for something
private industry cause.
(OS) The cost should be bared by the company that caused the harm.
(Os) I have no idea. Not sure. I couldn't say.
No idea.
I didn't give it any consideration - but I think it is a dangerous precedent.
Everyday for my business.
I'm not sure I know what your question means. Pollution in general?
The perpetrator should pay to clean up.
Heavy question to answer.
I wonder why they don't charge the companies who cause the harm instead of the
taxpayer. SP kept repeating the above. SP said "well basically this interview was
about the oil spill program. Why is the State doing the clean up? Taxpayers shouldn't
have to pay for the mess that businesses make."

for wildlife and doesn't believe in killing birds and animals. Was a tough guy with
softness in his eyes. Did all this talking after interview.
Right.

The fence to pick the oil spill have to go all around the tanker then they have to pull
tanker. How are they going to do it? I know this will take hrs. by then the spill
already have done the damage.
No.
What is a sea fence? It keeps oil from spreadin? Is it working in Washington? I see.
Interesting.
But I don't know enough about it. But I hate to see even I bird hurt. I'm an animal

The companies should prevent this. They should be liable, & should know the route.
They should fine them.
Exactly.
{Refused. Interviewer's note: She is about 40 years old}.
R was extremely suspicious, as was her husband. She refused all personal info; I got
her name from a neighbor. She was so upset by the missed DU question & the
previous screener questions that I almost lost the interview. This was a tense, ugly
interview, & afterward R complained bitterly about the content (why only the
environment?) and the waste of her valuable time. Nasty, cynical, hostile woman.
Just got back.
I hate those things - all that offshore drilling.
Don't they use a mass tyne substance [sic] to clean it up?
(OS) They would probably raise the gas tax to subsidize the program - and I'd rather
spend the $5 on some other program - it would actually cost me $500 as an increase
in gas price. {probe} No.
Because they already have some standards in place.
Very pleasant young man, all seen-burned. Just came home from 3 weeks of surfing
along the coast.
If it were that important, they'd find the money somewhere & not even ask us.
(OS) If it were that important they'd find the money in the system or just tax us
without asking us - kind of like their raises - basically all 3 reasons above. {probe}
No.
Nice young man, working on his computer, called me back on cellphone & agreed to
IW - Very interested and cooperative. Computers are his thing & he had a lot to talk
about after IW. Seemed to be aware of sea fence solution to problem.
Just save the animals. {probe} Probably provide more jobs. {probe} no. {probe}
The animals you mentioned. {probe} No.
I'm not a [illegible].
R just returned from retreat w/ daughter out of town - she said she had never been
contacted before - I confirmed address & redid screener - R has lived here many
years.
I hate Los Angeles. Any money spent in L.A. is wasted. If they would use it.
Definitely Commorant. The gull is unavoidable. Not sure about others.
I can see them recovery is the next ten years. I imagine some birds relocated will, as
well as the fish.
I think we've all seen the effects of oil spills on highway 1. The glaze of oil can be
seen on the water.
It seems pretty straight forward. I debate the need to ship it that close to the store as
opposed to trucking the oil - or they should keep it further from the shore.
Protect from some of the smaller spills and in general relocation of animal, fish and
bird life and also destruction of the coastal environment. {probe} $120 per household
is not a big thing to pay in taxes for this.
I assumed.
I assume your escort ships have pilots local with the area. They would probably be
more familiar with the underlying terrain!

Based on what you said I assumed one year.
It seemed to push toward the central coast issue.
Since I never even thought about it before, for it.
It seems a reasonable idea but not the only solution. {probe} It's not such a hot idea
to be shipping oil up and down the coast.
I hope.
Is this going to be the only alternative on the ballot to this question? Is there going to
be another solution if there is I would consider it. Not knowing of any other
proposed solution I don't know if it may be better than this.
Husband present during duration of interview but made no comments - Ideal
interview situation.
(OS) Rather the money go to one of the other causes education or crime prevention.
{probe} Think money could be better spent.
I question the fact the bold type or numbers made me wonder about the information.
I think that the industry who causes the problem should pay the cost of prevention as
well as clean up.
The R gave a lot of though to her ans.
And it should be more on the oil companies and not on taxpayers. That's a lot of
money. Too much for every household to pay.
We go scuba diving.
Because I will be retiring soon. It will probably be getting a little worse.
The interview was conducted on front porch area which made it a little awkward
because there was no place to place showcards but other than that he was a nice
person to interview very attentive but was hoping there would be more issues and
different ones.
(OS) Better use of funds on other programs. $220 could be put to much better use.
{probe}
Respondent was very strong on his decision not to vote for the program.
Well I feel it is a good program for the Central Coast and I feel strong about
protecting our wildlife but to spend that kind of money for just ten years I am not
sure that it would not be a waste of money. The money could be used somewhere
else. {probe} On education or crime issues.
That's what you said 1 year.
Oh yes, we went sailboating.
I guess I would vote for it.
They need to spend what they have. I don't mind paying taxes. I just don't think they
are handling like they should be.
Why 10 yr? Wasn't this law passed last yr? 10 years B.S.
(OS) I think it's up to the companies (oil) to pay for this why should we pay to
protect the environment. They are going to up the cost of their product to pay for
this. Then we would pay our share and theirs too. {probe}
It would be for 10 yr.
Only thru the 7th grade.

It's the money.
(OS) After ten years it would be shut down what would they do with all the
equipment? When it does close who pays for scrapping the program? {probe} 10
years to pay would be better than one. {probe} No.
Because of wildlife.
I know how companies waste our money. The government doesn't tell us.
R was very concerned about how this information would be used and quizzed me
extensively before he answered any questions.
(OS) I'm not satisfied that the CA tax is equitable, and all unnecessary expenditures
have been eliminated yet. {probe}
A good goal.
Any tax that goes on never comes off.
I'd have to read the whole initiative through before I could vote for it. These are
ways it could be done that I'd be inclined to vote for it. {probe} It could be a credit
against taxable income. {probe} Low percent of money to operation just to

(OS) The program is not very cost efficient find other means of controlling spills.
More requirements for oil company & make them supply means of gathering up oil
that is leaked. {probe} No.
Don't know. Frequency of spills. {probe}
What a difference when you get the right respondent - this guy was lovely!
I am an example of the job training provided by the state.
Where is the otter?
What about otters? I read that the oil spills have really affected the sea otters and
that they do not or can not swim away.
$5.00 is not that much. Main reason - It is more cost effective to spend $5.00 to
prevent then clean up after. And use program to replenish money by selling escort
ships etc. after the close down. {probe} As I said it would prevent problems or harm
to the wildlife in that area.
Nothing is completely effective.
Scuba diving yes but not any fishing.

Only because he had to go to science fair for his daughter.
Respondent made comment that when he lost his job, it was the state that provided
his training on computers which turned out to be very profitable for him. Also he
was very interested in Westat as a data collector. Interview was conducted outside
on car because he was just leaving for a science fair for his daughter.
It would save the animals. {probe} {{probe} specifics} No matter what kind they
should be saved. {probe} No.
It puts the burden on the oil companies, other than startup costs. {probe} Protection
of the animals you said will be harmed. {probe} No.

before I make up my mind.
R plans to call Westat. He works for Channel number 14, a Spanish radio station,
and wants to publicize this survey because he thinks it's a good thing. He wants
information to do so.
That sounds good.
How much is it?
I don't like the oil spills and I'd like to protect the wildlife. {probe} {{probe} specific}
It seems like a good idea. {probe} No.
How effective has it been in Washington?
Older lady, very verbose, had difficulty sticking to subject matter -chatted about a lot
of things husband, deceased, retired from Air Force - formerly lived in Alaska &
loves wildlife & natural beauty. Gave problem serious consideration.
This makes me sick. It's really upsetting.
There's more loons than gulls? That's amazing to me.

Would we be overpopulated without the spills? Would we be overwhelmed with
these birds? I still think it's a terrible way for an animal to suffer.
I didn't know that the birds would recover in 10 years. I still don't think it's
acceptable.
Frankly, they should know where those rocks are. How come the escort ships would
know where the rocks are, & the pilots of the tankers wouldn't? The tankers should
be able to read their own maps. But, if that's the only way to deep these guys on a
safe course, then I guess it would be a good idea.
Why can't they start taxing the oil companies now, rather than wait?
This is the one. (I'm concerned about).
I hate to see any animals suffer. $120 isn't too much to protect those animals.
{probe} It protects the animals on the shoreline.
It better damn be effective if I'm going to spend the money on it.
R's 22 month old child was a big distraction. After the interview, R said she believes
that environmentalists are behind this survey.
I've driven that whole thing.
That was smart.
Is this (damage) where the company cleans it up, or when it's left unattended?
If it's a big spill like the one in Alaska, this wouldn't contain all the oil, would it?
How would the 14' fence stay up - buoys?
I like the idea; whether or not I'd have the money is another matter. If they could
string out the payments rather than a lump sum of $220, that would be better. I
would love to see this go into effect but I don't have $220 right now.
One lump sum at this time is difficult.
We need to be responsible.
See A-10A.
R's child was very disruptive.
I've seen the loon and the auklet.
Is the clean up similar to this now when there is a spill? {probe}
(OS) I consider there are more pressing problems i.e. education & crime. {probe}
I have trust in the experts.
It's hard to say. The program sounds nice. It doesn't take away from other programs.
I still say no but it's not a strong no.

11233 a-2a Don't like the way they trained now.

I don't think it's just a few small birds. I've seen & read that we've got protect what
we have. We have already lost too much. If it was just a few seagulls it wouldn't

on SSI I would pay it. {probe} I would keep it as close to natural as we can have it.
You'd have the birds and animals for your descendants. {probe} That's all.

effect now we would be owing about $800.00. {probe} No.

happen).

And I'd be willing to go with the odds that a spill wouldn't happen. And it's a lot of
money. And, the oil companies will pass their costs through to the consumers, so
we'd pay twice.

Especially L.A.
I guess they want to close some. I think they're important.
How much do they spend?
I have spent much time using public transportation. It would cut down on pollution.
I know they're overcrowded. How many are there?
Probably all three.
Are there other animals? I keep picturing the Alaska spill. What about the sea
otters? They came near extinction. Even though, if it is preventable then that should
happen to prevent it. What are the damages? They could be deeper than realized.
11771 a-12a Does the oil stay on top of the water? What if oil seeps down further. How far can
they skim? How fast can the rescue ship be there? Will they send other ships to help
with the size of the spill?
11771 b-1
$220 is a lot of money. I would like to pay it in payments. Maybe it isn't that much
money thinking that these birds are not endangered they may be. We don't know
how many oil spills there will be. I don somewhat agree about these other issues
though. I could see both sides.
11771 b-2
Give me a peace of mind to protection of our environment and wildlife. It is very
important to me. I'm somewhat idealistic about this - I keep thinking about the oil
spill in Alaska. Oil spills are ugly. Birds and wildlife, all plants have just as much
right to exist as we do. $220 is a lot, somewhat borderline for me now. The cost to
preventive is less than the cost of an emergency spill. Prevention is good.
11771 b-3
That too. For the same reasons I said before I would.
11771 c-1
That's a hard question. I don't know it depends on the size of the oil spill and where
it happens. It could hit a [illegible] of animals or area where no animals are. It could
be less or more either way. Uncertain now.
11771 c-3
It is an interesting concept. You never know if it will work until it happens. If they

Is the money really going into this program? How long until it will go into affect?
{the program up and running}.
11771 d-16 Boy I don't know. It would depend on how high taxes would go or how high prices
would be. I don't feel I would have a decision on which way the money would go.
