Danielle Butsick Resources at Risk Planner NWAC Meeting 10/07/2014
2
Why are we doing this work now? What kind of updates are we doing and how are GRPs evolving? How are we collecting information? What kind of timeline can you expect?
3
Governor Inslee June 11, 2014: “Begin development of spill response plans….” Same directive as “the study”. Project funding for GRP development: 3 1-year project staff (me, Wendy, and Sue) $$$ for contractor field work
4
-Lower Columbia River (2003) -Middle Columbia River (2004) -Clark/Cowlitz (2003) -Nisqually River (2003) -Green/Duwamish River -Moses Lake/Crab Creek -Chehalis River -Lake Washington -Lake Chelan
6
Working with Stakeholders, tribes, trustee agencies, public Not just new strategies: Boat launches Staging Areas POTENTIAL SPILL ORIGIN POINTS!
7
GIS Mapping- More detailed, accurate, consistent, and reproducible. Formatting Adobe Suite (Acrobat Pro, PhotoShop) maintains editing capability- reduces workload for future updates ▪ Page numbering, organization, and inter-linking
8
Chapter 4: Historically Ch. 4 only had sector maps and response strategy matrices Updated plans will also include 2-pagers! ▪ “Tear-out sheet” with photos, diagrams, site access info, resource needs, and deployment guidance
10
Ecology database for two-pagers Form-based interface for site details, boom orientation Produces 2-pagers as “reports” Strategy, boat launch, staging area location data is stored for future use
11
Site visits: ground-truthing sites and strategies Rivers change —sand bars, dredging, etc. Strategies that have been tested, lessons learned incorporated Learned how to develop more realistic strategies
12
We’ve learned the importance of collection strategies- not just exclusion/deflection Better, more effective booming Staggering/cascading and steeper angles Notification Strategies
13
BNSF Fallbridge sites (LCR,MCR) Company control points developed by BNSF with Ecology Olympic Pipeline CCPs (LCR, Clark/Cowlitz, Duwamish/Green) Company control points developed by OPL
14
Ch. 1-Introduction Ch. 2- Site Description Ch. 3- Response Options & Considerations New! Ch. 5- Shoreline information Ch. 6- Sensitive Resources
15
Matrix with response tactic options, policies One source for community to find area plan policies Starting point for out of town responders, away teams, to start designing tactics
17
Data collected from all of our partner agencies: Specific species, threatened or endangered status, habitat information Economic resources Cultural resources Private and public resources at risk from oil spills
18
Spatial data--better and more readily available ▪ ArcReader Project (DAHP layers) ▪ WDFW Critical Habitat, USFWS, NOAA ▪ Coastal Atlas (Ecology layers)--being comprehensively updated ▪ Habitat, Bathymetry and other data (Lower Columbia Estuary Partnership)
19
New form to get detailed comments ▪ Using the forms at workshops has already been a big success! ▪ Provides a way for comments to be submitted any time
20
Site visits to existing and new sites: ▪ Lower Columbia-visits by land, contractor boats ▪ Middle Columbia- visits by land, contractor boats ▪ Working with dams, contractors on lessons learned ▪ Asking tribes to make field visits with us
21
Public Workshops – Sept.-Oct. ‘14 Field Work Completion – Dec. ‘14 Stakeholder Meetings/Review- Dec. ‘14- March ‘15 Draft Plan Up for Public Comment - March ‘15 Final Plan Approval - May ‘15 Final Plan and Response to Comments -June ‘15
