Joint Canada-United States Marine Pollution Contingency Plan for Spills of Oil and Other Noxious Substances.
Abstract
The Joint Canada-United States Marine Pollution Contingency Plan for Spills of Oil and Other Noxious Substances covers specific geographic areas where there may be a significant threat to the waters and coastal areas of both parties. The purpose of the Plan is to provide for coordinated and integrated response to pollution incidents by federal, state, provincial and regional plans of both parties. The Plan provides for pre-designated on-scene commanders and Deputy On-Scene Commanders who will coordinate the response activities to control a spill and for joint response teams to provide advice and assistance. It establishes alerting and notification procedures, command structure, post-clean-up requirements and arrangements for assuming the responsibility for the cost of operations.
