| dc.description.abstract | The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA 90) strengthened and increased the requirements on ships and facilities handling, storing, and transporting oil. One of those requirements is the preparation of Facility Response Plans (FRPs) by ships or facilities which meet specific operating capacities. The Facility Response Plan is intended to be an all-inclusive guide for responding to and cleaning up any size spill, including a facility's or ship's "worst case discharge. Although Navy ships are exempt from preparing FRPs, Navy facilities are required to submit plans. The requirements for the FRPs were expanded and clarified in four separate regulations which address different types of facilities. Since most Navy facilities are affected by at least one set of FRP regulations, a comprehensive guidebook detailing all of the requirements streamlines preparation of a facility's FRP. The Naval Energy and Environmental Support Activity (NEESA) contracted with Dr. Roy Hann, Jr. through Texas A & M University to prepare this guidebook. Dr. Hann prepared introductory material and clarifying technical information which will be added to the Navy document as a preface and appendices, respectively. The guidebook which follows was prepared as a joint effort between LT Kelly McCarthy and LT Irene Addison. Coordination and editing efforts for the document were performed by both authors. The chapters written by LT McCarthy were 4, 5, 7, the pipeline response zone appendix, a cross-referencing matrix and a FRP checklist. The remaining chapters and appendices were prepared by LT Addison. In addition to the written document, a FRP user's disk is provided. The disk provides a template FRP which sets the format for wording and tables. Screen comments provide short instructions to guide the user in writing their facility specific response plan. The disk is for use with WordPerfect 5.1, the word processing software most commonly used by U.S. Navy commands. Navy submission requirements included a fully justified document in Courier 12 pitch. This document is currently under review by NEESA. The document will then be distributed Navy-wide for review and comments with subsequent distribution for use in preparing Facility Response Plans. | |
