In response to EPA and U.S. Coast Guard regulations, the U.S. Navy has undertaken a comprehensive program to minimize the potential for land-based oil spills originating from naval shoreline oil storage and handling facilities. Construction and maintenance projects have begun to prevent land-based oil spills from occurring or from reaching adjacent navigable waters. The Naval Facilities Engineering Command divisions have assisted shoreline activities in the preparation of oil spill prevention, control and countermeasures, and oil spill contingency plans. Improved spill containment and cleanup technologies, as well as improved personnel training, have contributed greatly to the refinement and upgrading of these plans. SCS Engineers has been involved in all phases of compliance with these plans. Plan and manual reviews were supplemented by detailed field surveys and subsequent development of remedial projects to be instituted at all deficient facilities. Based on the preliminary recommendations and design sketches prepared for tank farm sites at San Clemente Island, SCS Engineers is now providing design and related services for oil spill prevention and control facilities.
