4 Federal On-Scene Coordinators The federal On-Scene Coordinator (FOSC): The FOSC is the federal official responsible for directing efforts at the scene of a discharge or potential discharge of oil and hazardous substances. The OSC is the federal official responsible for containment, removal and disposal efforts and will provide a point of contact for coordination federal efforts with private, local, and state responders In general, the OSC has the following key responsibilities during and after a response to a hazardous substance release or an oil spill: (1) assessment and evaluation (does a threat to human health or the environment exist?); (2) monitor cleanup efforts by responsible parties; and (3) direct EPA funded stabilization and removal activities There are currently sixteen OSCs in Region 9

15 National Response System When do we Respond? Oil spills which have reached, or have potential of reaching, waters of the United States within the Inland Zone; Oil spills reported at, or greater than, 5,000 gallons; Train derailments involving the spill or release of oil or hazardous chemicals or substances; Fires and explosions involving chemicals, pesticides, petroleum, or other hazardous substances; Pipeline ruptures, failures or accidents; Releases of oil, hazardous substances, pollutants or contaminants which could endanger a drinking water intake, recreational area, or protected ecological area; and, Releases which may be classified as deliberate acts of terrorism or of National or Regional significance.

16 The OSC Decision-making Process No Release or Threatened Release OSC Involvement Ends Discovery or Notification Removal Site Evaluation Non-Federal Party Undertaking Proper Response Federal Removal Action Needed OSC Provides Technical Support, Monitoring/Oversight, Direction OSC Directs PRP, EPA Lead Refer to Other Response Program (State, FIFRA, TSCA, RCRA, NPL) OSC Participation in Referral/Site Strategy

17 Functions: Call Center Regional Emergency Operations Center NRC Ph# Monitor National Response Center and State OES Reports Web Database Tracking Systems Emergency Ops Center
