Potential Pacific Coast oil ports : a comparative environmental risk analysis / a report by Fisheries and Environment Canada Working Group on West Coast Deepwater Oil Ports.Fs77-6/1978E-PDF

"Eleven potential British Columbian and Washington State oil ports with accompanying route alternatives were compared on a relative ranking basis in terms of possible environmental risk from marine oil spills. Initially, a rating system of navigational risk, biological, economic and social factors was developed to derive a biological risk index, an economic risk index and a social risk index. These indices were compared port/route to port/route by several ranking methods to determine the relatively "least risky" or "most risky" port/route alternatives. Consideration was given also to preventive, cleanup and compensatory measures relevant to oil spills"--Abstract, page ii.
