Communication may be coordinated through the State Liaison officer identified in the State's Incident Command System outlined in the California Oil Spill Contingency Plan.(b) The Logistics Section. The purpose of the Logistics Section is to provide information essential for an effective and timely emergency response.
(1) Logistics for Emergency Response. This section will assist in the identification of staging areas and local resources which may be used during an oil spill response. To the greatest extent possible, local area maps should be provided, where applicable, for the following information:
(A) Identification and description of possible locations for an oil spill Incident Command Post (ICP) and a reliable communications system for directing the coordinated overall response operations. See guidance in the San Francisco Bay and Delta Area Contingency Plan, "ICP Facility Assessment Check Sheet".(B) Firefighting capabilities for oil fires for both shipboard and on-shore structures, levels of fire response capability, and willingness of local government to respond to oil fires.(C) Potential staging area sites to be used for staging and deployment of response equipment along the coastline.(D) Identify a person, by title, or an agency within the local government to coordinate and obtain lodging accommodations for emergency response personnel, upon request. In addition, provide a listing (or copies of a listing) of local accommodations.(E) Identification and inventory of available emergency response supplies and equipment under the control of the local government, which may potentially be used during an oil spill response to protect or contribute to the protection of resources. The list should include oil spill-specific equipment, such as booms and skimmers, as well as land-moving equipment, such as bulldozers and cranes. In addition, identify the contact agency(s), title of person(s) with authority to deploy such equipment, their telephone numbers, and location where the equipment and supplies are stored. This should include any resources outlined in the California Master Mutual Aid Agreements. Identification and potential deployment of this equipment should be coordinated through the incident response management.(F) Identification and information on all local airports, or the nearest airport, which may be used for incoming response personnel and/or during response operations. This information should include sufficient details in order to determine the possible role of the airport during an emergency response.(G) Identification of potential temporary hazardous waste storage sites that may be used for temporary storage of oily wastes retrieved following a marine oil spill, and procedures for securing necessary permits or variances from appropriate state agency(s), including title of responsible person at each agency, and a 24-hour telephone number.(H) Identification and description of the private or public property and roads to which access would be required in the event of a spill, for the areas where a spill is most likely to occur or have an impact on the shoreline. Additionally, this information should identify a mechanism by which the local government can gain access to ownership information for such properties and a contact phone number on a 24-hour basis.(I) Identification of economically sensitive sites, which are defined as locations which include, but are not limited to, public beaches, parks, marinas, harbors, yacht clubs, boat ramps, diving areas, industrial and drinking water intakes, power plants, salt pond intakes and other similarly situated underwater structures, intertidal and subtidal drilling leases, and major waterways and vessel traffic areas. This information should include the hours of operation and the name, title and telephone number of a local contact person for access to these sites. 1. The local plan should include a prioritization of those facilities, areas of commercial interest, and public and private recreational areas within the jurisdiction of the local governments, that are of major concern during an oil spill. This includes the following:i. A prioritization of those facilities that may be impacted by an oil spill which, if impacted, pose a potential threat to the public health and safety.ii. A prioritization of areas of economic or commercial interest, and public/private recreational interest including, but not limited to, mariculture, commercial fisheries, commercials ports, recreational areas and tourist areas.(J) In case of a fishery closure as a result of an oil spill, identification of personnel to assist with public noticing of fisheries closures, including sign posting, and related activities. Fishery closures, reopening and resumption of commercial fishing are under the jurisdiction of the Director of the Department of Fish and Game (Fish and Game Code § 5654).(K) Identification of local government representatives having information concerning local volunteer response groups or animal rescue/recovery groups. The activities of these groups are to be coordinated through the Operation Section's Wildlife Branch, to potentially assist with the efforts of the Oiled Wildlife Care Network.(L) Identification of local government representatives having information concerning local media contacts or public information centers.(M) Identification of possible locations for emergency volunteer centers for volunteers. These facilities should have adequate space for screening prospective volunteers, registration, training, and assignment.(N) Identification of hazardous material response equipment and capability, including the ability to conduct air monitoring and hazard characterization.(2) Training Requirements (A) At a minimum, the oil spill contingency plan element shall establish provisions to ensure training of fire, police and other emergency response personnel in oil spill response and cleanup equipment use and operations that is currently available to the local government, and ensure compliance with all other applicable state or federal training requirements;(B) Provisions for documenting personnel training described in Subsection (A) above.(2) Drills and Exercises. The Logistics Section shall include provisions for coordinating drill participation with the grant participant and OSPR, and shall include the title and phone number of a contact person for drill participation. The grant participant shall make every effort to participate in industry led oil spill contingency plan drills. The grant participants may be reimbursed for their participation in authorized oil spill drills.
(3) Incident After Action/Corrective Action Report. The Logistics Section shall describe provisions for the after action/corrective action report after a release or threatened release of oil into the marine waters of the state.
