"This report details the results of Year I of a two year program to study and improve oil spill countermeasures on the West Coast of Canada. The emphasis of the Year I report is on oil spill potential in relation to coastal oil products shipments rather than on major crude spills from offshore tankers. First described are oil spill legislation, contingency planning and action plans pertinent to government, industry and public organizations. The report then reviews containment and recovery cleanup equipment on the West Coast, discusses chemical countermeasures and derives a rating of equipment availability. The distribution of manpower in B.C. in relation to requirements for different spill situations also is described. Several risk parameters are analyzed including historical slick incidents, significant spill events, vessel casualties, marine traffic densities and oil products annual frequencies of visits. One of these, slick incidents, is examined together with cleanup equipment availability to identify the critical oil spill areas of coastal British Columbia. Summary conclusions are included to suggest how West Coast oil spill countermeasures can be improved"--Abstract, page i. Issued also in print format.
