Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7271201
USCG Captain of the Port New York, the first USCG District Commander, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and Energy, Barber International, Moran Services Corp., and SMCO Service Inc. conducted a Preparedness for Response Evaluation Program (PREP) oil spill exercise in the Port of New York/New Jersey on April 14, 1994. Its design and execution involved the use of the Unified Command concept, a national Oil Spill Removal Organization, two States, and two Responsible Parties. The government and industry plans exercised in this event seemed to be effective and to meet all current regulatory requirements, and no fatal flaws became evident. This evaluation report identifies exercise objectives, provides a performance assessment of those objectives which were tested, identifies opportunities for exercise improvement, and offers recommendations to improve the PREP process.
