Special Considerations

NCI-05-01 Theodore River

Nearshore waters in thegeneral area of:

Lat. 61º 11.7 NLon. 150º49.6 W

Free-oil Recovery

Maximize free-oil recovery inthe offshore & nearshoreenvironment of TheodoreRiver depending on spilllocation and trajectory.

Deploy free-oil recovery strike teamsupwind and up current of TheodoreRiver.

Use aerial surveillance to locateincoming slicks.

Deploy multiple free-oil recoverystrike teams as required to maximizeinterception of oil before it impactssensitive areas.
