This guidance document provides an overview of concepts important for understanding oil spill response planning and implementation for marine and coastal environments; however, much of the information can be applied to land-based operations as well. This guidance discusses the development of oil spill response efforts and identifies the key factors that might be important for reviewing a response system to determine if it is appropriate for the risks it seeks to address. Intended for internal Chevron use only.
Uses IUCN publication "Criteria for evaluating oil spill planning and response operations" as a source. Includes bibliographic references.
