Table top Exercise
• The purpose of this procedure is to describe the proper
methods for preventing, responding to, reporting and
investigating releases at CPBR.
• This procedure has been developed to improve facility
spill management capabilities through table top exercises
which support Federal and State reporting guidelines in
the event of a reportable spill or release.
• It is a preplanned exercise cycle that covers the three
different risk factors.
1. Most probable – 28.95 barrels
2. Medium risk – 1200 barrels
3. Worst case – 2895 barrels
The design of the exercise was a joint effort of
various members of the Oregon response
community, including representatives from the
following organizations:
• Columbia Pacific Bio-Refinery
• United States Coast Guard (USCG)
• Oregon Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ)
• Clean Rivers Cooperative (CRC)
• NJ Resources, Inc. (NJR)
• Washington Department of Ecology
• Environmental Protection Agency
The exercise was a one-day, Command
Post style exercise intended to simulate
the initial response to a medium-case
discharge. The focus was on the planning
process from the ICS-201 Incident
Briefing through the Tactics Meeting.
