This memo will remain at the front of the subject well file. Our adopted conventions for assigning APl numbers, permit numbers and well names did not specifically address expired or cancelled permits. This omission has caused some inconsistencies in the treatment of these kinds of applications for permit to ddll. Operators have asked us to adopt formal procedures for this class of permit application in order to prevent future database disparities. If a permit expires or is cancelled by an operator, the permit number of the subject permit will remain unchanged. The APl number and in some instances the well name reflect the number of preexisting reddlls and or multilaterais in a well. In order to prevent confusing a cancelled or expired permit with an active well or multilateral these case sensitive well identifiers will be changed for expired and cancelled applications for permits to ddll. The APl number for this cancelled or expired permit is modified so the eleven and twelfth digits is 95. The well name for a cancelled or expired permit is modified with an appended xx. These procedures are an addendum to the APl numbering methods described in AOGCC staff memorandum "Multi-lateral (weilbore segment) Ddlling Permit Procedures, revised December 29, 1995. AOGCC database has been changed to reflect these changes to this permit. Statistical Technician 02-001 B of ALASKA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES Division of Oil and GAs TO: F-- o. K.

Detailed plans for disposal of oil~'and oily wastes recovered ~ during spill cleanup operations. 2. A detailed list of the containment and cleanup equipment and materials onboard the Fe~ris and available from the Cook Inlet Oil Spill Cooperative. A discussion on the usefulnes~ of this equipment is attached to this letter. 3. A predictive document which describes the effects of various wind, ~ave and tidal current conditions on the distribution of oil spills. 4. Complete plans for mobilizing the Ferris' and the Coop's containment and cleanup equipment. 5.

The plan re- ~'quires mobilization of Coop equipment and activation of the Phillips Oil Spill Committee ~hcn0 the spill magnitude exceeds the'capability of the equipment onboard the Ferris without being directed to do so by governmental authority. 8. A training program to develop a fast, efficient onboard response capability to credible spill volumes~t The plan also provides for some training with the Coop equipment. The USCG severely r~stricts the employment of sinking and dispersing agents in spill situations. The attached copy of Annex X which comes from the USCG's Alaska Contingency Plan sets forth these restrictions. Therefore, we do not plan to utilize these respective agents. We included them in our list of materials however, in the event their use was required by the Federal and State authorities. Annex X states that collecting agents are generally acceptable and they are included in our material list because they may be applicable in certain spill ~situations. However~ by law, the judgement to use them must be made by theFederal or State on, scene coordinator. Toxicity data on "Oil Herder" is attached. Our spill material inventory onboard the Ferris is premised upon credible spill volumes. The Alaska Division of Oil & Gas has prepared a memorandum on the oil spill history in Cook Inlet, a copy of which is attached. This report indicates the volume of the averag~e spill attributable to drilling and producing operations during the last five years was 2.74 bbls. During this same period, over 50 offshore wells were drilled. (Division of Oil & Gas Annual Reports)° Another compilation by Union Oil Company (copy attached) indicates that during 1974, ~.80% of the spills were one bbl or ~ess. The largest spill was ten bbls. During 1974,17 offshore wells were ~illed. These statistics are the foundation for our onboard material re- quirements. The Aqua Fence boom will contain a ten barrel spill of 15 mils thickness and 250 feet diameter. The Komara Miniskimmer can skim ten barrels of oil in ten minutes. The Kepner Sea Container has the capacity to hold 60 barrels of skim fluid° Sorbent stock pickup capacity is fgur times the maximum historical volume. A fast, efficient response to a credible spill will have to be developed by conducting drills with the onboard personnel and equipment. We will not know how quickly we can respond until these drills are held. Our aim is to be on the spill'in 15 minutes or less. If Coop assistance is required, we estimate it will take 12 - 14 hours before the containment and skimming equipment can be on site. As we stated at our meeting On January 27, 1976, we are willing to cnnduct a demonstration to show the effectiveness of the onboard containment and cleanup equipment provided: Page 3- 1. Said demonstration can be put on at a mutually agreeable time following ~the initiation of drilling activity at our Chinitna 'A' No. 1 location. 2. Our ADL permit will nnt be suspended or revoked regardless of the outcome of said demonstration and 3. Further demonstrations of the onboard containment and cleanup equip- ment will not be required provided said demonstration is effective. We cannot make a u~ilateral commitment to demonstrate Coop equipment. The Coop is not amenable to our use of their equipment for demonstration purposes. However, the Coop has stated it is planning on conducting sea trials of their equipment this summer. As an alternative, would your attendance of these sea trials satisfy your request for our demon- stration of Coop equipment? We woUld appreciate expeditous consideration of the data submitted herewith and respectfully request your approval of our plans of operation for the subject leases.

USEFULNESS OF OIL SPILL CONTAIN>lENT & CLEANUP EQUIPMENT The following discussion of the subject equipment is limited to the equipment onboard the Ferris or available from the Coop. Ferris .~uipment Having the Boston Whaler boat on the Ferris to deploy the onboard contain- ment and cleanup equipment will enable us to respond rapidly to credible spills under the sea conditions where the Aqua Fence boom is effective. Being a shallow draf~ (2') boat, with a wide beam (7'), it can operate in nearshore areas as ~ell as in deeper water. In the towing mode, it can operate for up to seven hours without refueling, which is adequate time for the pickup of credible spill volumes contained within the boom. The Aqua Fence containment boom has a 2' draft and a 2' freeboard. The sea state under which the boom can effectively contain oil is normally directly related to these criteria. The boom has reserve bouyancy to ride much higher waves, but wind and current effects reduce the containment capability to wave heights comparable to the draft dimension when deployed such that the current relative to the boom is about 1.3 knots. The Komara Mini Skimmer can~effectively skim in waves up to 2 feet. Its shallow draft of 7.5 inches permits it to be utilized where other skimmers cannot operate. It is readily deployable because of its light weight and small size. Yet it is capable of pickup rates of 10 - 50 GPM depending on the type of oil. · The Kepner "Sea Container" provides flo~ng storage for skimmed fluids picked up by skimmers. It is able to withstand heavy sea conditions. Fully loaded, it will have a draft of only three feet. It can be towed to & from the site at high speed so rapid cleanup can be effected. T~e various sizes and shapes of synthetic organic sorbent onhand facilitate use under different spill circumstances. However, they all share the co,non characteristics of absorbing large amounts of oil and being fast and easy to deploy and retrieve. Sorbent·. sweeps are recommended~for any size rainbow sheens or other thin slicks on relatively calm water. Sorbent booms can be used to contain small spills and pick up larger spills of light oils in 1 to 2 foot seas. They can also be deployed along the shoreline where contact is imminent. Sorbent rolls can also be used along the shoreline to prevent contact. They can be used as sweeps on calm water or for picking up oil inside a contain- ment device. Sorbent pads are useful in picking up oil within a containment boom. They can be useful for picking up oil along rocky shorelines and other irregular places. If approved for usage, the chemical collecting (containing) agent, Oil Herder, is useful in reducing the· areal extent of a spill so it can be cleaned up more quickly. Tests have indicated it is effective in 4-6 foot seas. It can be used to retard oil adsorption on beach sands so a m~ch greater per- centage of the oil can be picked up by sorbent materials. COOP EQUIPMENT The Vikoma boom has a draft of 17 inches and a freeboard of 30 inches. The comments made earlier apply to this boom too. In heavy seas, it would have to drift with the spill. Skimming is most efficient in calm water. As the water gets rougher, skimming efficiency drops rapidly thereby increasing the amount of time required t~ clean up a spill. This applies to all skimmers regardless of their physical dimensions. The Mark II skimmer is no exception to this rule. Its usefulness in seas in excess of 3 feet is minimal. It must be utilized in water depths greater than the draft of the boat that moves it. This limits its usefulness to water depths greater than 15 - 20 feet, depending once'the boat and her skipper. ]AY $. HAMMOND, Cov~rnor Mr, H. J. Steiner '~' Phillips Petroleum C$'~npany P. O. Drawer 66 Kenai, Alaska 99611 Dear 3/Ir, Steiner: In response to your Deee.mber 12, 1975 letter' we have no problera with the first governmental contact being made to the U. S. Coast Guard (USCG) in the event of an oil spill within their jurisdic[ion, t-Iowever, it will be the responsibility of the. person in charge of facilities from which there is a spill to assure that the Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) is notified immediately after the spill occurs. Immediate ~otification to ADEC afLer initial contact with the USCG would be acceptable. tt is true tPat the on scene coordinator (OSC) for directing oi] spill clean-up operations in na'~rigable waters has been either the USCG or the Environs- mental Protection Affency (EPA).

Immediately upon application, Oil Herder spreads to form an ex- tremely thin t~%~i;:'on the water's surface that not only Contains. the oil spill, but can actually cause the slick to contract in area to facilitate recovery ,. or destruction of the oil. Advantaggs of Shell Oil Herder Most environmentalists and other experts aoree that spill control devices and/or chemical clean-up agents should possess certain features in terms of speed and ease of application, effectiveness under various weather conditions, effect upon the sur- rounding environment and aid in removal or de- struction of the spill. It is in theSe areas that Shell's Oil. Herder offers some noteworthy advantages.. Oil Herder can be quickly and easily applied Only two gallons of Oil Herder per linear rr)ile of slick perimeter are required under favorable weather conditions Oil Herder has successfully contained and reduced the size of oil spills under weather conditions con- sidered marginal for mechanical containment devices · Oil Herder is biodegradable as well as non-toxic to marine life and water fowl such as ducks when u~ed at recommended application.rates · Of particular· ' iraportance, Oil Herder does not ex- tend contamination by dispersing oil int° the xvater or by sinking it, but rather confines the spill on the surface and prevents spreading to ~id removal · Oil Her~ler can be stored in sealed containers for long periods of time without loss of effectiveness. , =ackground and Government Regulations Shell Oil Herder resulted from an intensive oil spill research program 'launched in 1967 by Shell Pipe Line Corporation at their Research and Develop- rnenl: Laboratory in Houston, Texas. q'his research efforl; was initially aimed at the testing and evahm- ti0n of mechanical ectuipment' for the containment and removal of ()il st)ills. But in the course of their work, Shell researchers discovered, tested and suc- cessfully applied Oil Herder. A growing public awareness of potential pollution of the environment has prompted legislation at all levels of government which has resulted in a series of laws and regulations to deal with potential and existent pollution hazards. Because of a series of offshore disasters, much of this public attention has been centered on the oil industry. To meet this and other threats to water quality the Congress enacted on April 3, 1970, Public Law 91-224 titled, "Water Quality Improve- ment Act of 1970". In response to directives con- tained in this law, President Nixon, through his Council on En~ronmenml Quality, put into effect "The National Contingency Plan For Control of Pollution of The Nation's Consts'and Waterways By Oil and Other Hazardous Materials". This plan is generally referred to as "The National Contingen- cy Plan". The basic responsibility for both reporting and cleaning up spills of oil which threaten to damage the gn2ironment belongswith the polluter, in which case f~deral action is no.mally'' reserved to observa- tion, monitoring progress and providing advice and counsel as deemed necessary. Where this responsi- bility cannot be assigned or a2sumed, The National PlAn is put into action. The plan provides efficient and promp~ procedures to minimize damage from oil discharges, including their containment and removal. The plan assigns duties and responsibilities and has a multitude of other features, including a schedule identifying dispersan~s and other chemi- cals which may be t~sed in c~rrying out the plan. The plan details only where dispersants may be used, in what quantities and under what conditions. The plan further promotes the coordination and direction of federal, state and local response sys- tems and encourages the developmen~ of local government and private capabilities to handle pel- t ~ (EPA) is assigned rcsf,onsibilit,y for administering, developing and revising The National I'lan as required. Coordination and direction of fe~teral pollution control efforts at the scene of a st)ill arc accomt)- lished through an "()n-Scene (',oordinator". U.S. Coast Guard 'furnishes O-SC's for the high seas, coastal and contiguous wa(ers, coastal and Great Lakes ports and harbors. The EPA will fur- nish or provide for O-SC's on inland navigable wa- ters and their tributaries. "'The National Plan further ~-~'~blishes procedures for regional plans and emerg~.ncy task forces for operation in designated areas. Annex X of The National Plan provides a "Schedule of Dispersants and Other Chemicals To Treat Oil Spills". Among the definitions of sub- stances applicable to oil spills is that of "Collecting Agents", described as follows; "Chemicals or other agents that can gel, sorb, congeal, herd,;.erttraP, fix or make the oil mass more rigid or viscous in order to facilitate surface removal". Collecting Agents, contrasted to Sinking Agents and Dispersants are considered to be generally ac- ceptable providing they do not in themselves, or in Combination with the oil, increase the pollution hazard. No standard test procedures ~9r determining the hazards of the Collecting Agent ~ype materials have been made public. However, it~ is assumed that procedures will be established for the evaluation of Collecting Agents and, together with application rate recommendations, will eventually be incorpo- rated into Annex X of The National Plan. Ofiicial Classifica' ions/Approvals On September 17, 1971, the Oil and Hazardous Materials Division of the EPA advised Shell that they were in agreement ~vith the classification of Shell Oil Herder as "a Sm'face Collecting Agent" in accordance with Annex X of The NatiSnal Plan. Because the treatment of each spill has to con- sider all of the factors involved, the t~se of Oil Herder is acceptable to the EPA if the On-Scene Coordinator's judgement, after considering these factors is that a collecting a§ent will perform satis- factorily in conjunction with recovery equipment and techniques. Oil Herder can then be applied at a rate of two gallons per linear mile of spill perimeter. It can be reapplied, if needed, every six hours, subject to a maximum of three applications in any 24-hour period. ~ The State of California has adopted a "State Contingency Plan" which closely parallels .The Na- · tional Plan, including the definition of "oil spill treating 'o" agen~o . California has established a pro- cedure for the licensing of such materials so that any questions regarding their basic suitability may be determined prior to an emergency that may require their use. Shell Oil Herder was licensed on September 27, 1971, as "a Collecting Agent" by the State of California's Water Resources Board. The S~ate of Florida has passed some very strict laws governin~ oil poi[ut, ers' resp;)nsibilitie3, but has not established procedures for approving or licensing oil 'si)ill treatment materials. Like Florida, of. her st~tes are currently occupied with developing basic contingency plans and thc, eventual need for sanctioning treatment materials prior to their actual need has not yet come under active consideration. However, Shell's Oil Herder has had conditional approvals from various st. ares for use in connection with the treatment of specific spill problems. ~ rrently, al though spec/fic aiq>row ing legislation ,,,es not exist, an increasing num- ber of states, including I,ouisiana, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Texas, have indicated favorable attitudes towards the use of Collecting Agents such as Shell Oil Herder. Further, the Canarlian Environmental Protection Service has tentatively granted permission for the stockpiling and nsc of Oil Herder as a surface col- lecting agent when applied in accordance with directions outlined by Shell. For major spills, ex- tensive use of Oil Herder should only be wid~ the consent and under the supervision of local or fed- eral.,regulatory officials. In addition, the Minist~, of Environment (Ontario) has agreed to the classi- fication of Oil Herder as a surface collecting agent and will consider the inclusion of this type of agent in their Guidelines covering oil spills control and removal. Physical Properties of Oil Herder Shell's Oil Herder is a ~vatcr-insoluble, surface active agent that competes ~vith oil for the water surface. It is definitely not a dispersant or a de- tergent and wilt not emulsify the oil to which it is applied. It works completely on the surface of the water. Oil Herder has a spreading force on wafer that is greater than the spreading force of oil. Research has shown that the Spreading force of a surface collecting agent should be at l~ast 40 dynes/cra to be effective in overcoming the tenden~ cy of oil to spread. In addition, the agent should be applicable over a wide range of water tempera- tures. Oil Herder meets these requirements. SI>e- cific~lly, Oil Herder's properties are...

Oft t-Ierder will work on any petroleum or vege- table oil float has not been modificxl by clmmical treatment or hy the inclusion of ad~lit;iw~s and as successfully even at low air I'emperaturcs (bellow its pour point of 36"l;') if kci,t warm to avoi(l styli(lily- lng. It has been succcssft~lly applied as Iow as 25'F when ~}~e c(mfien~s of tim apl,lication units were kept continuously agitated. However, Oil Herder does have some limit'alions. It will m)t coltcct a waxy oil t'hat has congealed and i~ will not work effectively on o/l-in-water emulsions nor on (letergent-contanfinated water. Any Lime a chemical agent is added to fresh or sea water for oil spill control there is justifiable con- cern regarding the possible ;'~ftereffects such an agent might have upon that environment. This concern is no less important to Shell Oil.Comlmn.s. Toxibity Tests Once Oil Herder's effectiveness in controllit~?: oil spills was ascertained, the chemical was submitted to the Texas A&M University Marine Biology Laboratory in Galveston, Texas, and The Pacific Environmental Laboratory in San Francisco, Cal- ifornia, for toxicity teshng. The results of these tests (see Tables I atari II) have indicated that Oil Herder will not adversely affect fish, shrimp, crabs or oysters ewm when ap- plied at ten times the recommended rate. In addi- tion, Shell also conducted additional tests within its own research facilities. When White Pekin ducks were exposed to 0il Herder hy floating five hours on water covered with 10,000 times the recommended application rate of the chemical, they showed ne) ill e£fects. The acute oral LD 50 for Mal- lard hens appears to be greater than 2,000 mg/kg. Fur~;her, two species of fish--Zebra Danio (Bra- chydanio ririo) and Gourami (Thichogastcr tri- cho4l)~grus)--~vere exposed to concentrations ut) to 100~)'~ppm. After 96 hours exposure plus 28 days post-exposure observation only one Gourami mor- tality was observed out of 60 fish tested. B odeCradabitiiy Tests Tests have shown that ()il Herder t~as extremely low biochemical oxylIen demands (BOD) at con- centrations which will result if used as recommend- ed. Oil Herder is effective in containing oil spills as a film one molecule thick. One pint will cover 30 acres of water with a mohornolecular film. If we assume a ten-fold higher dosage (one pink applied to three acres), the concentration of Oil Herder in the top layer of water (assumed to be one foot deep) will be ~ ppm. As shown by tests on the biodegradability of Oil Itcrdcr, even at this high dose, the result, lng cnncenLraLioa will h;we a BOD of less [l',an three pt~,rcc, nt of £he oxygea nor- mally dissolved in sea water. Biodegradability tests were conducted on Oil Herder by the Edna Wood Laboratoric's of }louston, Texas. The results o£ these tests are outlin,'d in Table III.

T~his schedule will apply to those States that have not adopted such la~s, regulations or written policies. 2002 Definitions Substances applied to an oil spill are defined as follows' 2002.1 Collecting agents- includes chemicals or other agents that can jell, sorb, congeal, herd, entrap, fix, or make the oil mass more rigid or.viscous in order to facilitate surface removal of oil.' 2002.2 Sinking agents - are those c~qemical or other agents than can ~hysically sink oil below the water surface. 2002.3 Dispersing agents - are those chemical agents or compounds which emulsify, disperse or solubilize oil ~nto the water column or act to further the surface spreading of oil slicks in order to fag'ilitate dis- persal of the oil into the water column. 2003 Collecting Agents - Collecting agents are considered to be gener- ally ~CCeptabi'e ~ro~idin'g that these materials do not in themselves, or in combination with the oil, increase the pollution hazard. 200~ Sinking- Sinking agents may be used only in marine waters e~c'6ed'ing-~(]O~meters in depth where currents are not predominantly on- shore, and only if other control methods are judged by EPA to be inad- equate or not feasible. 2005 "Authorities Con'trolling Use of Dispersants 2005.1 Regional response team activated' Dispersants may b'e used in any place'at any time~ and-in quantitie~s'designated by the OSC when their use wi 11 · 2005.1-1 In the judgement of the OSC, ~r~vent or substantially reduce hazard to human life or limb or substantial hazard of fire to property. 2005.1-2 In the judgement of EPA, in consultation with appropriate State agencies, prevent or reduce substantial hazard to a major segment of the population(s) of vulnerable species of waterfowl. 2005.1-3 In the judgement of EPA, in consultation with appropriate. State agencies, result in the least overall environmental damage, or interference with designated uses. 2005 2 Regional r sponse.team not activated' Provisions of Section 200511-1 shall appl$. The use Of"'d'ispersants in any other si tuNtion shall be subject to this sch~dule except in states where State laws, regulations, or written policies are in effect that govern the prohibition use, quantity, or type of dis. persant. In such states, the State laws, regulations or written policies shall be followed during the dteanup operations. .. 2006 Interim Restrictions on Use of Dispersants for Pollution Control ~urposes 2006.1 Except as noted in 2005.1, dispersants shall not be used' .2006.1-1 On any distillate fuel oil. 2006.1-2 2006.1-3 On any spill of oil less than 200 barrel.s in quantity. On any shoreline. 2006.1-4 In any waters less than 100 feet deep. 2006.1-5 In any waters containing major populations~ or breeding er passage areas for species of fish or marine life which may be damaged or rendered commercially less marketable by exposure to ¢lispersant or dispersed oil. 2006.1-6 In any waters where winds and/or currents are of such velocity and direction that dispersed oil mixtures would likely, in the judgement of EPA, be carried to shore areas within 24 hours. 2006.1-7 In any waters where such use may affect, surface water supplies. 2007 Dispersant Use. Dispersants may be used in accordance with -this "s'ch6'dule if other control methods are judged to be inadequate or infeasible, and if' 2007.1 Information has been provided'to EPA, in sufficient time prior ~o its use for re¥iew bY EPA, on its t6xicity, effectiveness and oxygen demand determined by the~standard procedures published b..v EPA. (Prior to publication by EPA of standard procedures, no dispersant shall be applied, except a's noted in Section 2005.1-1 in quantities exceeding 5 ppm in the upper three feet of the water column (luring any 24-hour period. This amount is equivalent to 5 gallons per acre per 24 hours). · 2007.2 Applied during any 24-hour period in quantities not exceeding the 96 hour TL50, of the most sensitive species tested as calculated in the top foot of'~he water column. The maximum volume of chemical per- mitted in gallons per acre per 24 hours, shall be calculated by multi- plying the 96 hour TL50 value of the most sensitive species tested, in ppm, by.~0.33; except that in no case, except as noted in Section 2005.1-1, will the daily application rate of chemical exceed 540 gallons per acre or one-fifth of the total volume spilled, whichever quantity is smaller. 2007.3 Dispersant containers are labeled with the following information' 2007.3-1 is sold. 2007.3-2 20'0.7.3-3 2007.3-4 2007.3-5 Name, brand or trademark, if any, under which the chemical Name and address of the manufacturer, importer, or vendor. Flash point. Freezing or pour point. Viscosity. 2007.3-6 Recommend application procedure(s), conce~itration(s), and conditions for use as regards wa.ter salinity, water temperature, and types and ages of oils. 2007.3-7 Date of production and shelf life. 2007.4 Information to be supplied to EPA on -[he' 2007.4-1 Chemical name and percentage of each component. 2007.4-2 Concentrations of potentially hazardous trace materials, including, but not n~cessarily being limited to' lead, chromium, zinc, arsenic, mercury, nickel, copper, or chlorinated hydrocarbons. 2007.4-3 Description of analytical me~hods used 'in determining chemical characteristics o~ltlined in 2007.4-1,2 above. )<-3 2007.4-4 Methods for~..a?,.a, iyzing the chemical in fresh and salt water are provided to £P;~ or reasons why such analytical methods cannot be provided. 2007 4-5 For purposes of research and development, EPA may authorize use of dispersants in specified amounts and locations under controlled conditions irrespectiv6 of the provisions of this schedule. NOTE In addition to those agents defined and described in Section 2002 above, the following materials which are not a part of this Schedule, with cautions on their use, should be considered' 1. Biological agents - those bacteria and enzymes isolated, grown and produced for the specific purpose of encouraging or speeding biodegradation to mitigate the effects of a spill. Biological agents shall be used to treat spills only when such use is approved by the appropriate State and local public health ~and water pollution control officials. 2. Burning agents,- are those materials ~hich, thro~gh physical or chemical means, improve the combustibility of the materials to which they are applied. Burning agents'may be used and are acceptable so long_a,s, they cio not'in themselves, or in combination with the materi~al to which they are applied, increase the pollution hazard, and their use is approved by appropriate Federal, State and local fire preventio~m officials.

The use of floating booms and skimming equipment to effectively contain and clean up oil spills in the waters of Cook Inlet has not been proven. However, this type equipment is available from the Cook Inlet Oil Spill Cooperative upon request. Phillips is a member of this COOP. This equipment is stored at Nikiski Dock. ~equest for this equipment, should be M~qon_q_~ after being directed b.v the USCG to use containment and clean up equipment Upon being directed by the USCG to use containment and clean up equipment, call the Phillips Area Superintendent 'at the office or at home. Ne will be responsible for making arrangements for manpower and equipment to contain and cleanup the oil spill. In the event the Area Superintendent cannot be contacted, a telephone request for the use of the COOP's equipment should be directed by the Phillips on-site Supervisor to the Chairman or Vice Chairman of the COOP at the following numbers. Chairman - Eugene Griffin- Union Oil Co. Office - ~hachorage 279-76~1 Home - Anchorage 277-5~]~ Vice Chairman- George Day - SOCAL Refinery Office - N. Kenai 776-8161 Home - N.

FERRIS EXPLORATORY DRILL BARGE OIL SPILL CONTINGENCY PLAN The USCG shall be kept informed of the time frame for mobilization and deployment of the containment and clean up equipment and crew. Usually, the USCG will furnish an officer to provide guidance in the containment and clean up of the spill. Phillips will direct the containment and clean up activities in accordance with the spill officer's advice. The spill officer has the authority to take over and directly supervise the activities if the Phillips representative-in-charge does not cooperate! Deployment of the containment and clean up equipment in the area adjacent to this drill site can be pre-determined by referring to Attachment ~10 which predicts where a spill is likely to go. Familiarization with this predictive report is required to maximize the recovery of any oil spilled and thereby minimize the visible and physical affects to the waters and coastal areas surrounding the drill site. Transportation of the containment and clean up equipment and personnel will be arranged for by the Phillips Area Superintendent or his designated agent. If he cannot be contacted, the Phillips on-site Supervisor shall make the necessary arrangements by calling the following numbers for the following types of transportation: MF Alaska Husky - Chartered by AMOCO - N. Kenai 776-$~93 MV Rig Engineer - Chartered by Marathon - N. Kenai 776-8141 MV Norma Ann - Will be chartered by Phillips Petroleum Company 776-8166 Call Rig Tenders Dock 776-8185 for stevedoring services associated with ship loadings.

Helicooters Kenai2ir Service - 283-7561 Era Helicopters - 776-9381 Anchorage Helicopters - 776-8437 When the USCG spill officer officially declares the clean up complete, the containment and clean up equipment can be demobilized. Assuming it is the COOP's equipment~ they shall be notified of our intent to return the equipment. It will be our responsibility to return the equipmentin good working order and repair or replace damaged items. Aziy used absorbent material and recovered oil will be disposed of at an approved land site. SPCC PLAN ATTACHMENT ~7 PHILLIPS PETROLEUM COMPANY GEORGE F.

M C) H A Iq L) UlVl D~PARTI,IENT OF NATURAL RES' Division of Oil and Gas TO: ,_. Guy R. Hartin Commissioner DATE: December 4, 1975 FILE NO: FROM: Hoyle H Hamilton Acting ~irector TELEPHONE NO*: SUBJECT: Oil Spills in Cook Inlet Attach'ed is a table showing .oil spill volumes and incidence of spills in the Cook ·Inlet that you requested by memo in August, 1975. Sorry 'For the delay but we were holding this report until we could get the oil spill data from the State Department of Environmental Conservation to cross check with the informa- tion obtained from. EPA and 'the Coast Guard. After numerous requests to the DEC and promises to get this data to us, we have yet to receive it and have given up on them. However, the data obtained from the EPA and Coast Guard are believed to be complete. The spills are broken dorm into three categories' (1) oil industry related, (2) non-oil industry related and; (3) unknown sources. This is the first .time to my knowledge that a breakdown such as·this has been reported. You will note there are no volumes reported with the unknown sources spills because these represent such small volumes, described as "small oil sheen sighted" and "small glob of oil found on beach", etc.,,: ~he non-oil industry related spills are those that would have occurred even if there were no oil industry activity in the Inlet, e.g. a fuel oil spill from a tanker bringing fuel °il to Anchorage for domestic use. · The above categories were selected to indicatF.'&'he extent that the oil industry has contributed to the spills in the Cook Inlet. ~he results of this work shows that the public 'has been misled in this respect by other publications. In June, 1974, the Alaska District Corps of ~ngineers published a study on tile Arctic ~oast titled, "The Alaskan Arctic Coast, A Background Study of Available Knowledge". This report was prepared for the Corps of Engineers by the Arctic Institute of North America. Page 453 of this report is attached as Exhibit No. 1. ~he total hydrocarbon input, in the Cook Inlet is stated to be 9,500 to 17,500 barrels per year. They indicate this data was taken from reports by Glaesar and Kinney. Attached 'as Exhibit No. 2 is the applicable portion of the report by Kinney. You will no[e that this report was written in 1970 and uses oil spill data for the four years 1966 through 1969, which were four of the years w$..th the largest reported spills (see our attached table). It is interesting to note the small volume of spillage attributed to the oil industry during 'the last 5 years, namely a total of 145 barrels. It has been the practice in the past for persons making E.I.S. or enviro[,nenLal assessment studies to take data frown one area and use 'for exl:ral~(~lat'ing in o~l~er areas of interest. IF the total oil spills recorded in the Inlet are taken as oil industry related, this distorted picture could be compounded by trying to apply this data to other areas being evaluated for 'potential impact of oil industry acti vi ty. , .. · HHH:bjm · attachments .... .....

The results and conclusions of this survey are summarized below. Hydrographic data obtained within the survey area indicate a gradual increase in water depths from west to east. Measured depths ranged from 20 to 30 feet (MLLW datum) in the west end of the survey area to approximately 45 feet (MLLW datum) in the east. Analysis of acoustic records in combination with an interpreta- tion and projection of onshore geologic conditions indicate that thick deposits of dense glacial till probably extend across the entire survey area. Bordering the area to the west shallow surficial deposits may include sand and gravel-which contain areas of small ripples. Low ridging, possibly exposed dense glacial till, is the dominant feature occurring in the western and southern portions of the survey area. Also occurring in this region are isolated areas of sand and gravel ripples. In the northern 153° 00' 152° 40' 152°20 iiiiii ii ii i iii i!i ii iii i i !i ~ PHILLIPS PETROLEUM 'r, 35, R2ow,~[~/4 NAUTICAL MILES 0 2 4 6 8 I0 I I I I I I PLATE I -2- and eastern portions of the survey area bottoms of gravel, cobbles, and boulders may occur. It is suspected that s~rficial deposits in this region may be glacial till which has been reworked by currents and from which the finer components have been removed. It is likely that smooth sandy bottoms occur beyond the survey area to the east. It is the conclusion of our preliminary field investigations that the entire 1/2-mile square survey area as indicated by Plate I is relatively hard and could provide suitable foundation conditions for a jack-up drilling rig. It is, however, recommended that areas of ridging be avoi.ded as this region exhibits variable and occasionally shallow water depths consequently maneuvering of the drilling rig in this region would be limited to periods of high tide. It is also recommended that areas immediately east of the ridging also be avoided as this region contains a relatively high concentration of large boulders. The recommended area for drilling rig placement is in the northeast quarter of the survey area where the bathymetry is relatively flat and the surface expression of - boulders is minimal. 'DESCRIPTION OF BOTTOM CONDITIONS During the geophysical survey approximately 13.5 nautical miles of survey line were run-within the 1/2 mile by 1/2 mile survey area and adjacent areas as well as several additional miles along the southern approaches to the survey area. For all of these lines, continuous re- cords were obtained from a fathometer, side scanning sonar and high resolution boomer all operating simultaneously. These records provide the basis for information and conclusions presented herein. Discussion of -3- these results are presented under the categories of bathymetry, bottom conditions, and sub-surface conditions. The limitations of these data are also discussed below. A description of the equipment and methods utilized in the sur- Vey are preSented in Appendix~A, Drawi.ngs~which are referenced in this seCtion are presented in Appendix B, Bathymetry As indicated by National Ocean Survey nautical charts, the water depths between Ch~nitna and Tuxedni 'Bay increase gradually with distance · offshore with the 180-foot depth contour'occurring approximately 8 to 9 miles offshore. SeYeral shoals rise to depths of 20 to 30 feet (MLLW datum) some 3 to 4 miles offshore in t~e vicinity of the proposed drilli.ng site. Bathymetric' contours for the general' region are orientated along an approximate northwest-southwest axis. Surves Area Hydrographic data used for the preparation of the bathymetric chart were obtained utilizing a survey recording fathometer. Water depths were corrected to amean~lower low water (MLLW) datum and plotted for each shot point. In addition, bathymetric high and low points which occurred between shot points of a particular survey line were also plotted. The hydrographic chart presented on Drawing 0533-056-01 represents the recorded water depths at specific points. An excellent correlation of water depths was obtained at intersections of survey lines; consequently, values presented -4- ed in Drawing 0533-056-01 are believed to be accurate to within +1 foot of actual depth. A bathymetric contour map was then prepared from the water depths indicated on the hydrographic chart. Side scanning sonar records were used to verify the continuity of water depths between the actual survey lines. The side scanning sonar records were also used to determine both the posi- tion and height of boulders observed within the survey area. The resulting bathymetric map with a contour interval of two feet is presented on Drawing 0533-056-02. Because the bathymetric contour map required a certain degree of interpretation, water depths are estimated to be accurate to within +_1 ~oot of actual water depth, but errors associ- ated with estimations of boulder elevations may be slightly greater. Approaches to Survey Area As part of the field investigations, several lines were surveyed to locate possible corridors to the proposed drilling site which would pro- vide a minimum depth of 24 feet of water at MLLW. Because of the general north-south orientation of tidal flows, access from the south would mini- mize the necessity to maneuver in cross currents. Consequently, three lines were surveyed in the area south of the main survey area. The most favorable southern corridor which was surveyed is indicated on Drawing 0533-056-03. Side scanning sonar records indicate that there are no apparent major obstructions (i.e. boulders) within 400 feet of either side of the survey line indicated. It is recommended, however, that if this corridor is utilized access should be limited to periods when tidal elevations are -5- greater than 10 feet above mean lower low water and only if precision navigation is available, i.e. stay within the corridor indicated in Drawing 0§33-056-03. , An eastern corridor, as indicated on Plate 2, appears prefe~rable to the southern route discussed above; however, this corridor was not surveyed as part of field investigations. According to nautical charts, the indicated eastern approach would provide some latitude in positioning error. Although no hazards are anticipated for the eastern approach corridor, it is recommended that a precision fathometer be employed during access to the area. Bottom Terrain Features° Four general classifications for bottom terrain features were identified within the general survey area of which only two are present within, the actual area of interest. ~These classifications are based upon acoustic data obtained from'fathometer, side scanning sonar, and high re- solution boomer sensors and thus subject to indirect geologic interpreta- tion. Drawing No. 0533-056-04 delineates the following areas: 1. 2. . e Area of sand and gravel with small ripples Area of ridging with isolated areas of sand and gravel . ripples Area of gravel, cobbles, and boulders Areas of sand A band of ridging runs along the majority of the western and southern portions of the area of interest.

These ridges generally range from 5 to 10 feet in height and are 100 to 300.feet wide. Small sand or gravel waves or ripples less than several feet in height occur in depressions between some of the ridges, The crest of these ripples are orientated along an east-west axis which indicates a general northerly and southerly direction of tidal flows. The remaining portion of-. the area of interest is characterized by a relatively smooth and gently slopi.ng bottom probably consisting of gravel and cobbles. Occasional boulders may extend 5 to 6 feet above the ocean bottom. Both the fathometer' and side-scan records indicate i to 2 feet of scour around the base of some of these boulders. To the east of the area of interest, the bottom is similarly smooth and gently sloping and has been interpreted as sand. No boulders are apparent in this region. West of the area of interest the bottom is relatively shallow flat, and smooth and'has been interpreted to contain areas of sand and gravel with small ripples. Subsurface Conditions Interpretation of sub-bottom conditions was based upon analysis of high resolution boomer (HRB) and side-scanning sonar records as well as analysis of' known geologic conditions for adjacent onshore regions and postulated geologic history of lower Cook Inlet. Possibly the most significant characteristic indicated by the records was.the near absence of sub-bottom acoustic reflectors (eg., in- dicators of subsurface layering or material changes) within the survey area. Distinct layering was, however, indicated on records in areas with suspected sandy bottoms (indicated on Drawing 0533-056-04). The absence of apparent acoustic reflectors indicated that sub-bottom materials are probably rela- tively homogeneous. Penetration of acoustic energy was validated by using a 300 joule sparker. Similar resulting records showing no significant reflectors were obtained. In order to explain the results obtained from both the HRB and sparker, side-scanning sonar records were re-examined, particularly the area of ridging, to determine surficial expressions of sub-bottom features. From these records, it was apparent that the 10w ridges were relatively smooth and apparently fairly resistant to scouring by currents. Descriptions of known and postulated local and regional geologic conditions were obtained from available publications of the U. S. Geologic Survey (Detterman & Hartsock, 1966; Karlstrom, 1964). These reports indi- cate that onshore, adjacent to the study area, glacial deposits of the most recent (Naptowne)glaciation maSk bedrock of Tertiary age and older. The Tertiary bedrock (Kenai Formation) reportedly dips in a southeasterly direction toward Cook Inlet and probably forms the basement material in adjacent areas offshore. At their maximum extent the Naptowne glaciers centered in the Aleutian Range extended eastwards across Cook 'Inlet, locally advancing into the Kenai Lowlands. A series of recessional mor- aines onshore record halts in'the retreat of the Naptowne ice sheet. As indicated by onshore geologic conditions, it is possible that the ridging area (indicated on Drawing 0533-056-04) may be part of a reces- sional moraine from the Naptowne glaciation which extends from onshore deposits north of the mouth of Chinitna Bay and continues through the'shoal area which extends 3 to 4 miles offshore. Onshore glacial deposits are reported (Detterman & Hartsock, 1966)~to be till and include sands, grav- els, and boulders 1/2 to 6 feet in diameter. Side-scanning sonar records indicate that offshore areas to the east of the ridging are probably com- posed of gravels, cobbles, and boulders. This may be reworked glacial tilt from which the'fines have been removed by current action. The genesis of the apparent sandy area on the east side of the survey is only specula- tive.

Additional profiles were obtained in the southern and eastern portions of the proposed site to define bathymetric and bottom conditions along yarious access routes to the site. Navigation Positioning of the survey vessel during the field operations was. provided by F. M. Lindsey and Associates. A Cubic Autotape survey system was used to follow predetermined survey lines within the survey area. Two responders were located at surveyed 'locations onshore and the boat's posi- tion determined by electronically rangi.ng on these two responders. The navigational antenna for the Autotape system was mounted on the bridge of the Shamrock, 5 feet forward of the vessel's stern and 8 feet in from the starboard side of the vessel (see Plate A-l). Post-plotted lines which indicate the actual points occupied were constructed by computer-plotting of the recorded azimuth coordinates$ 61 FATH( 2' below surface VESSEL: UNIBOOM J SPAR KEF VARIABLE IO'- 120' EQUIPMENT ;5' ANTENNA 20' 25' 5' HYDROPHONE STREAMER SIDE- SCAN SONAR TOW FISH LAYOUT DAMil 8 MOOR! PLATE A- I A =¸ 2 Seismic Reflection Profiling. The seismic reflection survey was conducted using an E.G. & G. High Resolution Boomer (HRB) system to obtain profiles of the bottom and · sub-bottom materials at the.proposed site. The Boomer system consists of an acoustic sound source (E.G. & G. Model 230 Uniboom), acoustic receivers, and signal processing system (E.G. & G. Model 255 Engineering Recorder). The Uniboom emits intermittent sound pulses which reflect from the sea floor and sub-bottom layers. The reflected pulses are sensed by the hydro- 'phone streamer and then electronically processed. The Uniboom is mounted · on a small catamaran towed 20 feet astern of the ship, and the acoustic receivers (hydrophones) are encased in a 15-foot long buoyant cable (streamer) and also towed. Thus, the data obtained are approximately 25 feet astern of the recorded shot point locations. An onboard graphic recorder, displays the trace of the reflections on a profile record. Reflections are plotted as a function of the time required for the sound pulse to travel from the transducer to the reflect- ing horizon and back to the receivers (vertical scale). The thicknesses of units shown on-the profile are converted to estimated vertical thicknesses by assigning seismic-compressional-wave velocities to the materials penetrated. The horizontal scale is determined by the navigational positioning data and varies with the boat speed. Side Scanning. Sonar An E.G. & G. Side Scan Sonar (Model Mark I-B) was used on the sur- vey. Side scanning sonar is also an acoustical system. A narrow, pulsed A-3 beam of acoustical energy is reflected by bottom features, sensed by a receiver, and then electronically processed to form a graphic print of the bottom features. The image produced'is similar in appearance to an aerial photograph. The system is not detrimentally affected by turbid water as is underwater photography or television, and produces analogous results. The method of operation is shown on Plate A-2, Side-Scan Sonar Techniques. The side-scanning sonar ~urvey was accomplished concurrently with the seismic survey. The side-scan fish was towed behind the boat at distances astern ranging from 20 feet to 80 feet (see Plate A-l). The cable length was adjusted as water depths changed, with the longest cable setting used in deep water to allow the side-scan fish to remain approxi- mately 20-30 feet from the bottom. Fathometer A Raytheon Recording Fathometer (Model DE-119) was also used during the survey. The unit is a v~rtically oriented acoustical depth- measuring system. An intermittent acoustical signal from an over-the-side transducer is reflected by the ocean bottom to a receiving device. '[he reflected signal is then electroni.cally processed to produce a continuous strip recording of water depth beneath the instrument along the traverse line.. The recordings were run in conjunction with the seismic and side- scanning sonar surveys. The fathometer was placed 10 feet forward of the antenna and on the port side of the survey vessel (see Plate A-l). It was also placed at a depth of 2 feet from the water surface.

Training Workbooks, Cassettes & Slides Vo Phillips Oil Spill Committee Organization Chart INTRODUCTION An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure. Prevention of oil spills is the ultimate answer to everyone's concerns about the environment. At the exploratory well site, the barge and the drilling rig will be operated in a manner that will prevent the accidental discharge of fuel, lubricating, or crude oil. The operator of the George F. Ferris has also prepared a Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan for the barge in compliance with requirements of the Environmental Protection Agency. (See Attachment #8 to Phillips SPCC Plan). The barge operator has also prepared a fuel transfer plan to satisfy the requirements of the U. S. Coast Guard. Phillips Petroleum Company will require the d~illing contractor to adhere to the SPCC Plans and also to follow all applicable regulations pertaining to drilling established by .the Alaska Department of Natural Resources and all regulations established for this operation by other Alaska State agencies and by all Federal agencies having jurisdiction over the operation. The purpose of this Contingency Plan is to provide guidelines for a~ effective and coordinated response to any oil spill that might occur at this operatione This plan defines responsibilities and provides a genaral plan of action for responding to an oil spill. Main elements of the plan are as follows: A. A list of agencies to be notified if a spill occurs. B. A list of Company and contract personnel who will respond to a spill and a description of their duties. C. A predictive document which describes and predicts the most likely path of a spill under different conditions of wind and current. D. The location of approved onshore disposal sites. E. A description of the emergency containment and pickup equipment on board the barge and procedures for prompt and effective use of this equipment. F. · A list of all available oil spill containment and cleanup equipment in the area. G. Procedures that will be followed to train key personnel in oil spill contafnment and cleanup techniques. · This plan is designed to supplement the SPCC and fuel transfer plans. This plan will be modified and supplemented as necessary to keep it up to date with changes in technology~ in personnel, and in inventories of equipment. Oil Sp[mll Definition An oil spill is any discharge of oil into the waters of 'bhe United States! Reporting Oil .Spills 1. Requirements Ail oil spills must be immediately reported to the U. S. Coast Guard. Several State agencies must be notified immediately following the USCG report. Failure to report can result in personal fine and imprison~aent. 2. Responsibility It is the responsibility of all persons on board the Ferris ~d the Norma Ann to be on the alert for .oil spills. Any person~ who is aware of an oil spill, shall inform the Phillips on-site supervisor or the Contractor on-site supervisor, depending on which can be re ac hed first. The Phillips on-site supervisor or the Contractor on-site supervisor will initiate action to. stop or minimize the spill and immediately no-bify the Federal and State agencies and the Phillips office. These verbal reports shall follow the format contained in Phillips Oil Spill Report (Appendix I). The verbal report must be confirmed in writing within three d~Fs following the incident. This confirmation should be sent via "Registered Mail". Report ing Uo S. Coast Guard Cal-l~Anchorage ~65-5371 between 0800 & 1630 hours, Monday- Friday.

C__ontr. ql., Containment, Cleanup & Disp. osal Proced~res The Phillips on-site supervisor will take charge of the control, containment, cleanup and disposal operation. The Contractor on-site supervisor will assume this charge if the Phillips on-site supervisor is absent and will act in this capacity until a Phillips representative arrives. Rapid response in the spill incident is necessary to minimize the envirorm~ental impact. This response capability is provided by having tra~ed Personnel and experience proven containment and cleanup equipment and materials onboard ,t~t?~ Ferris to contain and clean up credible spill volumes. The six man barge crew , , , will form the trained nucleus of the 'Ferris' Oil Spill Task Force. The con- tainment and clean up activities of the Task Force will be directed by the Phillips or Contractor on-site super~-isor. The Phillips Oil Spill Committee Chairman, Mr. H. J. Steiner, upon recei~r'mng notice of a spill, will activate the Committee (Appendix V) if assistance is required. If the USCG's National Response Team is activated, Mr. Steiner will be the Industry Representative on that team. Control, containment, cleanup and disposal actions will depend on the situation existing at the time of the incident. The on-site supervisor must assess the situation and specifY a prudent course of action to be taken. Some general pro- cedures that can be followed are as follows: Control Procedures to stop or reduce further spillage. 1. Close block valves. shut down transfer pumps. 3. Drain lines to storage containers. Catch drips in buckets, etc. 5. Close blowout preventors. Containment & Cleanup Procedures 1. Activate Ferris Oil Spill Task Force. 2. Deploy 'the sorbent boom or the "Aqua-Fence" boom to encircle the spill using the onboard power skiff and/or the MV Norma Ann. 3. After containing the spiil~ proceed to pick up the oil with sorbent pads or the Komara skimmer coupled to the Kepner storage bladder. ~. If assessment indicates assistance will be required, mobilize the Cook Inlet Oil Spill Cooperative via the Phillips Oil Spill Committee. ' 5. Predict the probable course of the spill by reviewing the '~pill Behavior Report" (Appendix II). 6. Direct the deployment of the Coop's Vikoma Sea Pak boom to augment the Aqua fence boom containment or. diversionary capability. 7- Utilize the Coop's Mark II Skimmer to pick up oil contained by the . deployed booms. 8. Ut~]~ize sorbent materials to pick up small isolated patches of oil on the water and/or beaches. 9. Do not use any sinking, collecting, dispersing, or wicking agents unless directed by the Federal or State'~On-Scene Coordinator. .Disposal Proc edures 1. Crude or diesel oil recovered during cleanup operations will be offered to the refineries located at Nikiski. Their agreement to accept recovered, oil has been solicited. This is the preferred disposal method because it conserves an energy resource. However, if salvaged oil cannot be disposed of in this manner, it will be stored at the Phillips LNG Plant until such time as ~ Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) approved land dis- posal site is developed by the Kenai Peninsula Borough. 2. Oily solid wastes reCovered do_ring cleanup will be stored in suitable containers at the Phillips LNG Plant until it can be disposed of at an approved land site on the Kenai Peninsula. Training Program. Ail barge and drilling personnel on the Ferris and the crew of the workboat, Norma Ann, will be given training stressing' prevention and control measures and the requirements for reporting oil spills. The training, material in the Section 1 workbook "Oil Spill Prevention" (Appendix IV) provides a learning technique for imparting this information to these crews. Ail barge and ship crews will' be given additional training in prevention and control measures utilizing the Section 3 "Shipboard Oil Spill Prevention" slide and lecture series (Appendix IV). Ail barge and ship crews will receive training in contaJ~mnent and cleanup procedures through the presentation of Section 2 workbook "Inland Water Cleanup Procedure" (Appendix IV). After completion of this phase of the~ training, they will receive separate instruction in the use and deployment of the conta, irm~en6 and cleanup equipment and materials onboard their respective facility. Drills will be conducted 'in the deployment and use of the onboard equipment to attain and maintain a' fast~ effective response capability to credible spills. Selected Phillips and Contractor personnel will also attend the '76 sea trials of the Cook Inlet Oil Spill Coop's equipment to receive instruction in its de- ployment and use. Key drilling personnel have already been trained in blowout prevention and control procedures. During the weekly BOP equipment tests, all drilling personnel will be assigned a work~ station and instructed in the basic actions required of them to retain control of the well. Following the initial training session with each drilling crew~ weekly drills will be conducted prior to the BOP equipment tests. Public and Government Relations If a spill occurs, the Phillips on-site Superim.tendent will act as Compa~ spokesman until such time as .this duty is assumed by Mr. H. J. Steiner, A~-ea Superintendent,, or his designated agent. Other Phillips and Contract personnel should refer all inquiries, to the Compar4v spokesman for an answer to their questions. The Company spokesman has the responsibility for issuing all press statements. The guidelines set forth below should be followed. Initial press statements should: 1. Give the name of the installation involved, the time of the accident~ and arg other facts that are not in dispute (such as the steps the Company has taken to contain, control~ or handle the spill). 2. State explicitly that it is the Company's policy to prevent pollution and to minimize damage to property or the ecology. As the following information becomes available~ press statements should: 1. Note that containment and cleanup experts are (on) (being called +.~6) the scene to supervise the operation. 2. Give the type of product spilled. 3. Report whether the spill has been controlled. Give the size of the spill- quantity and area affected. 5. Tell how spill is moving~ such as wind, current~ and tides. 6. Describe cleanup measures that have been taken and planned - types and quantities of equipment being used and manpower involved. 7. Describe special efforts taken to protect property and wildlife. No statements shall be made con~.aining any of the following unless clesred by Public Relations Department in Bartlesville~ Oklahoma. 1o Speculations concerning liability for the spill or its legal consequences. 2. Speculations regarding the cause of the spill. An ex%ended inquiry m~¥ be needed to determine the actual cause~ and legal liability could be affected by what is said. Estimates of damage expressed in dollars. Estimates of how long cleanup will take or of cleanup costs. 5. Promises that property~ ecology~ or anything else will be restored to normal. 6. Opinions concerning the appropriateness of government response to the oil spill.

This report provides a predictive tool which can be used to assess the behavior and ultimate destination of potential oil spills at the proposed drilling site of Phillips Petroleum Company near Chi~nitna Bay in Cook Inlet, Alaska. The data contained herein has been structured to be of help in planning deployment of containment and cleanup equipment prior to a spill, and directing operations in the event of a spill. Plate I shows the location of the proposed exploratory drilling site. In this area tidal currents and winds are the controlling factors determining the motion of surface water. With a strong onshore wind, it is possible for oil to reach the shore within several hours. Winds from the western direction will tend to propagate the oil further offshore while winds from the eastern direction will force the oil toward shore. Tidal currents gener- ally flow parallel to the coastline, reverse directions approximately every six hours and traverse 6 to 12 miles during each flood or ebb tide'. If an oil spill occurs at high tide with an onshore wind condition, the orientation of Chinitna Bay is such that the net surface drift may carry the spill into the B~y. The predictive model upon which this conclusion is based depends upon a limited amount of data.

Deficiencies in the model are discussed within the report as well as the importance of updating the model with new data as they become available. Ii -4- BEHAVIOR OF OIL ON WATER The physical, Chemical, and biological properties of oil and seawater in- fluence the behaVior of oil. Winds, currents, and waves affect the free surface of the sea and hence affect the motion and spreading of the oil .spill as well as its mixing within the water column. In general, spreading and movement of oil increases with wind, waves, and currents. When oil is exposed to the air-sea interface, evaporation, chemical change, bio-degradation, dispersion, and entrainment all act to reduce the total amount of oil present on the sea surface. Hence, in order to help quantify the modes and rates of transport and degradation it is necessary to consid- er the actual condition's affecting the' oil at the time of a spill. Spreading and Transport of Oil on Water The spreading and transport of oil on water is dependent on the volume and rate of oil spilled, the properties of the oil, and the winds, waves, and currents at the time of a spill. Several models have been developed which do relatively well in describing the spreading and propagation if the environ- mental conditions (winds, waves, currents, etc.), oil spill quantities, pro- perties and rates are specified. However, prediction of these parameters prior to or even during a spill is often difficult. Physical Properties of Oil' The physical and chelnical properties of oil, primarily their .composition, density and temperature, affect the rate oF spreading. In general, the lighter the oil the faster the oil will spread. II -5- The properties of crude oil vary considerably. For example, some heavy crude oils which may contain 5 percent sulfur (by weight) may have a specifi~ gravity of 1.0, whereas, some light crude .oils containing virtu- ally no elements other than carbon and hydrogen .and have a specific gravity of 0.8 or less. The oil present in upper Cook Inlet varies considerably depending on depth and locati'on of the oil bearing formation. Cook Inlet oil is classified as "sweet oil" and is relatively pure. Its specific grav- ity typically ranges from 0.8 to 0.9 and it has temperatures at tile well ranging from 100 to 200°F (Alaska Division of Oil & Gas, 1973). It is exp'ected that potential reserves at the Chinitna site would have comparable specific gravities and formation temperatures. Effects of Type of Oil Spill- The volume and rate of release of oil determine the rate of spreading and areal coverage of the oil spill. Plate 2 illustrates the effects of spill size on areal spreading for various instantaneous oil spills. Oil will spread under a combination of gravitational, inertial and viscous forces until it attains some minimum thickness, at which time its further dispersion is deter- mined by winds, waves, and other physical, chemical and biological actions. The effects of winds, waves, and currents will increase the r~te of spreading. Plate 3 shows these effects for a 24,000 bbl. spill which occurs over a 48-hour period fOr different wind speeds. Effects of Winds and Waves- When wind blows over water the surface stress between the air a~d water inter- face produce a movement or drift of near surface waters.

Previous investigators have reported the nlagnitude of the wind drift Current to generally range between 2 to 5 percent of the wind. velocity and the effects to diminish exponentially with water depth. For the area under consideration, locally generated wind drift currents will not be felt below depths greater than 6 feet from the water surface. Depending on water depths, wind durations and latitude, Coriolis forces may produce a sur- face drift of water at.varying angles to the right of the wind direction (in the northern hemisphere). For the conditions encountered within the relative- ly shallow waters shown in Plate 1, it is probable that Coriolis effects can be neglected. Most previous investigators concerned with prediction of movement of oil on a water surface have considered only that movement attributed to the wind drift on a flat surface. Reisbig (1973), however, has investigated the transport of oil under the combined effects of winds and waves. The con- clusions of. Reisbig's investigations which can be applied to this study fol- low. For waves and wind traveling in the same direction, wave induced drift will augment the wind drift at lower wind speeds (less than 5 mph). At higher wind speeds, waves will decrease the net drift velocity. This wave induced reduction in wind drift increases with increasing wind speed. .2. For winds and waves traveling in opposing directions, wave induced drift will donlinate at low wind speeds (less than 3 mph). At higher wind speeds (greater than 10 inph) the effects of wind drift will domina'te. -9- 3.' Tile effect on drift when winds and waves are traveling at large angles (eg. 45o to 1150) to each other is small and under these conditions wave effects can be neglected with- out introducing serious errors. The results of Reisbig's investigations are shown in a graphical form in Plates 4 and 5 as plots of net drift current resulting from various wind speeds and wave steepness (H/L). Waves with H/L values greater than 0.07 can be. classified as short, choppy waves; a value of H/L of 0 represents calm water. Effects of Other Factors' Other factors Which may be especially significant in the behavior and fate of oil spills at the Chinitna site include evaporation to the air, entrain- ment into ~he water column, and coastal processes. Evaporation may be important in that it could remove significant quantities of oil from the water's surface. Cochran et al. (1975) reports that for ex- perimental spills with light crude (specific gravity of 0.85), as much as 20 percent of the oil may evaporate within several hours, and as much as 30 to 40 percent within several days depending on l~he oil temperature and · wind conditions. A graphical illustration of their results is presented in Plate 6. Oil from a potential spill or blowout near Chinitna Bay is expected to behave similarly to the light crude used in these experiments. When crude oil is spilled on salt water a portion of the oil may form a highly stable 'but immiscible water-in-oil solution. This emulsion forms relatively thick blobs or balls of oil that are fairly resistant to dispersion, 0.5 0.4 o 0.5 Z 0 i I- 0.2 0.1 0.0 0 Reference: Reisbig, 1973 H__: WAVE HEIGHT L WAVELENGTH I I 4 6 8 I0 12 14 WIND VELOCITY (KNOTS) WIND DRIFT FOR WINDS AND WAVES TRAVELLING IN THE SAME DIRECTION I ! 16 18 20 I 0.6 0.5 0,4 o 0.;~ Z i i,I 0.0 -O.I -0.2 0 Reference' Reisbig, 1973 H WAVE HEIGHT L WAVELENGTH 4- 6 8 I0 12 14 16 WIND VELOCITY (KNOTS) WIND DRIFT FOR WINDS AND WAVES TRAVELLING IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS 18 20 IDAMIS e, MOORE PLATE 5 r~ r '* ~ ~ SLICK THICKNESS : 0,1" Ul I0 ~.

Factors which may promote this process include wave action as well as the presence of turbid or silt laden waters. The latter may be especially important in the fate of oil spills in Cook Inlet. If oil becomes attached to suspended sediments, it is possible that the speci- fic gravity of the oil-silt mixture may become greater than the specific grav- ity of the seawater. Consequently, the oil may sink into the v~ater column and hence be subjected to subsurface currents. The suspended sediments pre- sent in the offshore area of Chinitna Bay may be important in forming such a mixture. - 14- METEOROLOGIC CONDITIONS As discussed in-the preceding section, wind speed and direction strongly influence the direction and rate of drift of an oil spill. Temperature and"relative humidity affect the physical properties of the oil and the shear stress between the air and oil at the interface. The offshore area near Chinitna Bay has a maritime climate but is modified to a large extent by air moving south down Cook Inlet. Hence, under this northerly flow, temperatures (as well as precipitation) are moderated to a more continental nature. Homer is the closest meteorological observing station to the proposed drilling site. Seasonal temperatures and relative humidities at the Homer station are comparable to conditions at the Chinitna location and are pro- vided below' Temperature (OF) Relative Humidity (%) Month Max Mi n Mean 2am 8am 2pm 8pm January 28 15 21 64 74' 70 72 April 42 28 35 85 76 67 75 July 60 45 52 90 78 69 76 October 44 30 37 84 83 72 80 Year 44 29 36 84 79 7][ 77 Normal Winds The site is exposed to the Cook Inlet winds from the northern, western, and southern sectors and drainage winds from the Mount Il iamna area can cause strong offshore winds (Detterman and Hartsock, 1966). The wind directions in Cook Inlet are strongly influenced by the north-nort~ast - soutt~-southwest orientation of Cook Inlet. - 15- The magnitude of winds at the site will be influenced by the surrounding landforms. Normally winds may be reduced by 10 percent as they travel from open water, to land. Because of the high topographic features of the area, the magnitudes of offshore winds are anticipated to be modified to a sub- stantially greater extent than is normal. A summary of twenty years of surface wind speed and direction data for Kenai was used to estimate the wind statistics at the Chinitna site. It was felt that the Kenai winds represented the broad scale surface level flow of Cook Inlet since the station is well exposed to the Inlet, although separated by a flat coastal .plain. Steering effects of Cook Inlet, local land effects at the site, and open water influences were used to modify the Kenai winds for a 5 by 5 mile area containing the drilling site near Chinitna Bay. A summary of the estimates for the winds at the Chinitna site is provided in Table 1. Plates 7 through 10 indicate the estimated relative wind speeds and direc- tions for.four quadrants of 5 x 5 nautical miles contiguous to the drilling site: Northeast (00-900), southeast (90o-180o), southwest (180o-270o), and northwest (2700-3600).

IIi - 21 - The seasona1 variation of the prevailing winds ~a.n be obtained from these statistics. II As an example of the use of Plates 7 through 10 consider the following case. In the grid bordering Chinitna Bay determine the percent frequency of occurrence of northeast winds by wind speed groups for the March through May period. The northeast winds are shown on Plate 7. The ratio of winds at grid bordering Chinitna Bay to winds at the drill site is given by the number in the grid under consideration and 'is found to be 0.7. The wind statistics for the grid containing the drilling site are shown on this plate. The statistics shown should be reduced in wind speed by 0.7; thus the wind speed group 1-6 kts becomeS 0.7-4.2 kts, 7-16 kts becomes 4.9-11.2 kts, etc. Rounding off these speeds to the nearest knot gives 9 percent of the time during March through May the wind blows 1-4 kts, 21 percent of the time it blows 5-11 kts, 6 percent of the time it blows 12-19 kts, and less than 1 percent of the time it blows greater than 19 kts. Extreme Winds Extreme winds, wlere calculated from methods derived by Thom (1968), and are based on the maximum monthly wind speeds estimated for each grid. The maxi- mum monthly wind speed for the proposed drill Site is estimated to be 10-15 knots. Taking the higher figure, a ten-year extreme 1-minute wind speed is calculated to be 67 knots.

Currents, waves, and tides have an important effect in controlling the fate and ultimate destination of an oil spill. The extreme tidal ranges in Cook Inlet also are an important consideration in determining the amount of intertidal area which may be exposed to the spill. Water Circulation in Lower Cook Inlet II The circulation in lower Cook Inlet has been studied by others. Mungal (1973) used numerical modeling Go predict "tidal streams" or currents for this area; Sharma, et al. (1974) and Burbank (1974) used ERTS (Earth Re- sources Technology Satellite) multi-spectral images to assess suspended sediment distributions; and Wright (1975) used drift cards to determine circulation patterns. The eastern side of the Inlet has been studied in more detail than the western side and most recently the Alaska Department of Fish and Game is undertaking an on-going radar drogue study to determine surface and subsurface circulation in and contiguous to Kachemak Bay. Based upon the aforementioned investigations, it has been concluded that a general count'er-clockwise circulation exists in lower Cook Inlet. Relatively clear seawater is carried into the Inlet from the east by the Alaska Current and flows past Kachemak Bay, perhaps as far north as Nikiski, along the east- ern side of the Inlet. Relatively fresh and silt laden water flows down the western side of the Inlet. This drift is supported by inflow from streams and tidal action. The eastern side of the Inlet tends to be relaLively well mixed, whereas the western 'side has some stratification resulting from the freshwater inflows. Circulation'at the Site The circulation at the drilling site is strongly influenced by the circula- tion of lower Cook Inlet discussed above. The area is exposed to the open waters of Cook Inlet and the currents are only modified by bathymetry, local river runoff, and near shore boundary conditions. The National Ocean Survey installed and maintained a current meter from May 21 to June 21, 1973, 22 feet below MLLW some 5 miles east of the drilling site in 72 feet of water. Information from this station shows maximum tidal currents slightly greater than three knots during both flood and ebb tide conditions. The net circulation cannot be determined from the aforementioned · 'data, but it is clear that the north-northeast to south-southwest orientation of the tidal currents indicates that the coastal boundary dominates the direction of the net circulation. The net circulation is the component of water motion remaining after tidal effects and local wind drift effects have been removed. During the geophysical survey conducted at the site limited drogue and boat drift studies were conducted. This information supports a south-southwestern net circulation controlled by bathymetry and coastal contours. Based on the above information, the predominate direction of~ebb and flood tidal movement was estimated at the proposed drilling site and the 5 x 5 mile grid containing the National Ocean Survey data is shown in Plate 12. Tidal traverses were estimated for ebb and flood tides as well as net circulation in the absence of a local wind field.

It is recognized that when additional data is made available significant improvement may be realized in the values shown in Plate 12. These improve- ments can be easily handled by the model developed in this report. Also, it should be emphasized that the surface water motions shown in Plate 12 are .estimates of tidal traverses and net surface circulation that would occur under calm conditions, i.e. no local winds. As will be shown later, · wind drift will have'to be vectorially summed prior to determining net spill movement. Circulation within Chinitna. Bay. Virtually no quantitative data exist for Chinitna Bay proper. Conversations with fishermen who frequent this area indicate that the Bay is a "catch all" for lower Cook Inlet. Cargo and fishing gear which have been lost north of Chinitna Bay and on the eastern side of the Inlet often can be found later in Chinitna Bay. AlthOugh this information can be only partially documented, it is supported by the work of Burbank (1974). It is our conclusion that it is likely that an oil spill at the site may drift into Chinitna Bay under on- shore wind conditions. Tides and Shoreline Conditions The tidal range and beach slOpe determine the areal extent of beach that' may be affected by surface oil. Tides at the site are composed of diurnal and semi-diurnal components and both of these components have a strong in- fluence on tidal phase and amplitude. A sun,nary of tidal datum for Chinitna Bay and adjacent N.~aters is provided in Table 2.

II - 29 - From Chinitna to Tuxedni Bay beach conditions range from nearly flat mud to sand with slopes ranging around 1'20 to shingle and rocky beaches having slopes of 1'10 to shear bluffs. The largest mud flats occur in Tuxedni Bay and Chinitna BaS. The beach immediately ashore of the drilling site is relatively straight with gradual slopes. .Suspended Sediments The surface waters at the site are relatively clear. During a geophysical survey conducted at the site in late August of 1975 surface visibility was 15 to 18 feet as measured with a Secchi disk. According to Burbank (1974) surface suspended sediment.loads offshore of the drilling site range from 10 to 40 mg/1. Nearshore waters may exhibit relatively higher suspended sediment concentrations primarily due to inflows from silt-laden, glacier- fed streams such as Red River, and the East, Middle, and West Glacier Creeks. Burbank (1974) also reports that nearshore Waters may have increased turbu- lent mixing and thus higher sediment loads. This nearshore turbid zone may enhance the attachment and deposition of oil if it moves toward shore. - 30- PREDICI'IVE MODEL FOR OIL SPILL TRANSPORT The intent of this section is to present a to°l which could be utilized in the prediction of movement of potential oil si)ills at the proposed drilling site. The model presented herein is designed to be used with real input 'data pri~or to, or at the time of such an accident. The basic methodology for this analysis is to vectorially add current compo- nents resulting frOm tides, circulation, winds, and waves. In order to accommodate calculations, a 5 x.5 mile grid system was overlain on the area of interest and values for individual drift components were assigned to each grid and were assumed to be representative of conditions which could occur within that grid. The grid size was chosen to be as large as possible and still reflect enough detail in flow to be useful. It is recognized that the availability of data does n6t completely justify the grid size chosen but a larger grid could not ~account for the smaller nearshore effects. Effects of Winds and Net Circulation In order to determine the relative importance of various parameters in the predictive model, oil spill trajectories were plotted for various wind conditions. ~ Winds used to produce these trajectories were obtained from Plate 7 through plate 10 assuming wind velocities of 5 and 20 knots at tlomer. Wind drift components were obtained from Plate 4 for the case of ~t/L = 0 or estimated at 3 percent of the wind speed for points beyond the range of the graph. The estimated net drift attributed to water circulation is obtained from Plate 12. The tidal current, wind drift, and circulation drift components were vectori- k - 31 - ally integrated in order to Produce the net total drift direction and magni- tude within each grid. Plates 13 through 16 give the results of this vector integration for a spill occurring at low tide and a spill occurring at high tide for wind f'rom the northeast and southeast at 5 and 20 kts. Use of Prediction Technique In the event of a spill it is desireable to predict the propagation and spreading of the oil in order to plan and direct containment and/or cleanup operations. In order to use the information contained herein the following estimates are required: 1) wind speed and direction (present and forecast), 2) wave conditions, and 3) spill volume and rate of release. Based upon these estimates, a prediction can be calculated which will give an estimate of where the oil will go and how large an area it will cover. From the wind speed and direction information select one of Plates 7 through 10 which best represents the direction of the wind. The wind speed at the drilling site can then be used to determine the speed at all the grids on the plate. This is done by multiplying the speed at the drilling site times each of' the numbers given on the plate. We now have the estimated surface wind field. Now turn to Plate 12. This is the estimated surface current field that would exist if the wind were not blowing. Since the tidal traverse is large both the drift and tidal traverse must be considered. The time of release of the spill is imt)ortant since .the phase of 'the tide at the time of the spill strongly influences its propagation direction and final destination. i KEY ' ....

The length of the tidal traverse is given in the lower right hand corner of each grid of Plate 12. (If the spill occurs during a flooding or ebbing current the remaining fraction of the six-hour period should be used for the first traverse.) The average speed of the net circulation is given in the lower left hand corner of each grid on Plate 12. I The wind drift current speed is given by Plates 4 and 5. If H/L is not known use an average, value of H/L for wind speeds less than 16 knots or 0.03 'times the wind speed for speeds greater than 16 knots. The wind drift current speed is then multiplied by six hours and the direction is given by one of Plates 7-10. The vector summation of all of the above components is computed for each' six- hour period taking into consideration .changes in net drift as the trajectory passes grid boundaries. Naturally flood traverses and ebb traverses must be used alternatively every six hours. It is very important to accurately determine the phase of the tidal current at the time of 'the spill since this will make a 180 degree difference in the initial direction of the spill propagation and in most als cases a signi- ficant difference in the final destination of the spill. Spreading of the spill is given by Plate 2 with appropriate attention being given to wave effects. Because the tidal current flows parallel to the - 37- coastline, the boundary effect will likely cause the oil to spread into long finger-like areas parallel to the coastline. With an onshore wind this can result in a large area of the beach being affected by the spill. As previously stated, the model presented herein is only a tool to indicate where an oil spill might go given various meteorologic and oceanographic conditions. Application of this model should be undertaken with an understanding that it is based on evaluation of the possible behavior of oil on water as well as on limited data on environmental conditions near Chinitna Bay; cOnsequently, certain deficiencies must be realized. The primary~concern and deficiency is knowledge .of the behavior of a potential spill as it comes into contact with the shoreline. Local nearshore process- es may tend to concentrate a spill or spread it further than predicted. I - 38 - NEARSHORE BEHAVIOR AND FATE CONSIDERATIONS This section has two objectives: First, to address some of the specific aspects of a spill i-n which a large volume of oil is transported directly toward shore, and second, to provide a perspective on the nature of deposition that could take place in the intertidal zone. For the waters adjacent to Chinitna Bay, the final destination of the centroid of a spill has been shown to be strongly dependent upon the time of release, since tidal currents usually dominate the direction of propogation. Previous discussions and illustrations (Plates 13-16) have focused on the effects of winds and currents in moving oil slicks offshore. The ultimate behavior and fate of an oil slick as it enters the nearshore zone and becomes stranded is dependent upon the nature of beach materials, exposure to wave action, and nearshore currents circulation, sedimentation and erosion. Potential spill volumes of 1 bbl, 50 bbl, and 1,000 bbl have been stipulated by the Alaska State Resources Agency for spill contingency plan- ning in conjunction with offshore drilling operations. A 1,000 bbl spill has therefore been selected for the following analysis, recognizing that the lower spill volumes would result in significantly less impact upon the coastal environment. It is apparent from Plate 2 that a 50 bbl oil spill is not likely to contaminate more than a few tenths of a square mile of the water surface. Even under mild wind and wave conditions, ttle resulting slick (less than a .001 inch thiCk) would likely be assimilated by the marine environment prior to stranding. - 39 - The oil spill scenario envisioned is one in which 1,000 bbl of crude oil is release over a 10-minute period at the proposed drilling site approximately three hours after low (slack) tide. The winds are blowing from the east at 15 to 20 knots and a modest wind-chop is beginning to develop. Under these conditions oil could reach the shore in approximately three hours. After three hours of 'spreading, the oil slick could have an areal extent of a few tenths of a square mile (assuming radial spread) and an average thickness of about a hundredth of an inch. Since, in reality, the slick will have been elongated by winds and currents, the slick could be a mile tong and 013 mile wide with an estimated area of 0.3 square mile. With an easterly.wind of 15-20 knots, the oil is likely to remain in contact with the upper intertidal portion of the shoreline throughout the period of high slack tide. Thicker patches of oil would accumulate adjacent to the water's edge and, depending upon the extent of wave action, oil may in part be mixed into the rocks, sediments, and debris on the beach. After three hours, ebb tide conditions will begin to move the oil in a southerly direction back down the coast while the winds maintain the oil against the shoreline. As the tide recedes the approximate one mile long oil layer will move south possibly coating that portion of the intertidal zone it contacts. This process will continue until either the oil is depleted or until the. ebb tidal cycle is complete. In this case it is quite reasonable to assume that most of the oil which reaches shore would be retained onshore long before low tide is achieved. 40- Assuming that all of the oil spilled 'is still available for deposition and that the oil is uniformly deposited on the beach, a layer about 75 feet wide could extend over the 6 nautical miles of intertidal zone in an average thickness of around 0.03 inches. Even if the wind, cur-- rent, and beach/oil retention characteristics were sufficient to strand all of the oil within one 'hour after contact with the beach, the average onshore -deposition would then be on the order of a tenth of an inch thick. Even though little is known about the retention characteristics of Cook ~Inlet beacheS or dispersive and degradative action of Cook Inlet waters, it is safe to assume that under the scenerio presented above no more than a few miles of coastline would be affected. In the event that such a deposition did take place, the concentrations would likely remain considerably belov~ those described above. I -41 - REFERENCES Alaska Division of Oil & Gas, 1973.

Griffin [ROM' dohn D. p~Undsen Subject' Oil S~jlls to Cook' Inlet in 1973 and 1974 Attached are the data sheets pertaining to oil spills ending up in the Cook Inlet for the years of 1973 and 1974. The designations for ships and platforms' should be self explanatory. The facility designation includes refineries, tank farms, docks, etc. Onshore transportation would include tanker truck or train spills into drainage sources. The unknown source was not accounted for in the total volume because of the originat-ion and volume ambiguity. The USAF plane that jettisoned' its fuel tanks was, also eliminated because the investigation was stiflled. The 1973 total volume of the four sources of drigin is over by .2 of a barrel and the t974 total volume is under ,by .1 of a barrel because of a rounding off er~b~ in conversions. All oil spill volumes are compliments of the U. S. Coast Guard and were verified through liason files of ADEC a~d EPA. 'Fhe tonnage for material transfer and petroleum transfer ~re the compliments of the U. S. Corps of Engineers. All volumes and sources are accurate to the best of available government informa- tion.
