A discussion showed that Clean Gulf Associates (CGA), an organization formed in 1972 and representing approximately 60 oil and natural gas operators and 99Vertical Bar3< of the production in the U.S. portion of the Gulf of Mexico, continues to improve and add to its stockpile of equipment for containment and cleanup of oil spills. A separate Cost Participation Area off the Texas coast was formed in Aug. 1976; material and equipment are stockpiled at two bases on the Texas coast. Additions to the equipment stockpile include a versatile radio communication system designed for use during cleanup operations, a new self-propelled skimmer for use in shallow-water cleanup operations, as well as a high-volume open seas skimmer. During the past year, approximately 50 training sessions on oil spill containment and cleanup with CGA equipment were held.
