Standard Guide for In-Situ Burning of Oil Spills in Marshes

Importancia y uso:

4.1 This guide is meant to aid spill response teams during planning, training, exercising, spill response, and remediation.

4.2 In the marsh environment, removal of the oil by in-situ burning may be the only method available to responders. The soft, soggy soil and presence of water and the potential for ecological damage may inhibit the deployment of conventional oil recovery equipment and personnel, while the shallow water may not allow the deployment and operation of skimmers, booms, and storage devices.
