1 GIS in Response to Oil Spills and other Deleterious Materials Judd Muskat California Department of Fish and Wildlife Office of Spill Prevention and Response

2 What I Will Cover Office of Spill Prevention and Response (OSPR) Background and History of GIS for Oil Spill Response in CA Contingency Planning Emergency Response Examples from California Oil Spills and Deep Water Horizon Remote Sensing Applications Mobile Data Collection Apps Data Management Data Sharing Information Dissemination Common Operating Picture (COP) Southwest ERMA

3 Background: Events Leading to the Creation of OSPR March 24, 1989 T/V EXXON VALDEZ Prince William Sound, Alaska 11,000,000 Gallons Crude Oil February 7, 1990 T/V AMERICAN TRADER Huntington Beach, California 417,000 Gallons Crude Oil

4 THE LEMPERT-KEENE-SEASTRAND OIL SPILL PREVENTION AND RESPONSE ACT 'OSPR s Statutory Mandate ( ) Evaluate "Best Achievable Technologies" that are being developed, could feasibly be developed, or are currently in use anywhere in the world

5 Background: OSPR Strong Legal & Financial Foundations Initial Responsibilities - Marine Oil Spills Present responsibilities All Waters of the State DFG is Public Trustee for California s Diverse Biological Resources CDFW Lead State Agency Charged with Oil Spill Prevention and Response OSPR Administrator has Authority to Direct spill Response, Cleanup, and a Natural Resource Damage Assessment

6 Background: OSPR Area of Responsibility, Office Locations Marine Environment Inland California

7 History of Area Contingency Plan (ACP) Development in California OPA 90 (T/S Valdez) and SB 2040 (T/S American Trader) Required Contingency Planning by Both State and Federal Government USCG & OSPR Agreement Joint ACPs USCG & OSPR Co-Chair Three Port Area Committees for Contingency Planning San Francisco, LA/LB, San Diego

8 Area Contingency Plans (ACP s) Required by OPA-90 abs SB 2040 Jointly Prepared by OSPR & USCG Three Port Area Committees for Contingency Planning Guide for the First 24 Hours Living Documents Regularly Updated Esri Ocean GIS Forum, November 5-7, 2014 Redlands, California

36 Mapping Spills Better and Faster Traditional Approach: Visual observations from helicopter or aircraft converted to drawing on a map using GPS. Our Approach: Easily-deployable computerized system utilizing multiple imaging channels in the visible, near-ir & thermal-ir Advantages over visual methods: 1)System is objective does not rely on opinion and experience of operator 2)Survey map is in digital GIS format allows accurate location determinations, direct computation of oil spill area and volume, etc. 3) Survey provides much greater detail Esri Ocean GIS Forum, November 5-7, 2014 Redlands, California

39 System test during a real oil spill case: M/V Cosco Busan, San Francisco Bay, 11/7/2007

40 Daily NOAA oil distribution map product lacked detail on exact locations of recoverable oil

41 Utilization in an Actual Spill Cosco Busan spill, 11/09/07, San Francisco Bay

42 Going Operational Technology Utilization in an Actual Spill The imaging was used on Day 1 to estimate total on-water oil and on Day 3 to Platform A spill, 12/7/08,quantity, Santa Barbara Channel document that no more recoverable oil is present and recovery operations can be suspended.

43 Analysis maps were utilized for multiple applications including: Source area oil distribution for response resource management & trajectory modeling Location of recoverable oil targets Location/extent of beached and marsh-entrained oil Effectiveness of dispersants Esri Ocean GIS Forum, November 5-7, 2014 Redlands, California

47 Situational Awareness

48 Common Operational Picture A Common Operational Picture/Platform is a Data Viewer Need Software to Process the Data into GIS Format Many COPs Available; Very Simple to Very Robust Different Focuses; ICS Forms Integration, Multi-Window Dashboard Display Not Here to Say Any One is Better, All (I have interacted with) are fine Products California Uses NOAA s ERMA (Southwest) Pre-Spill Planning Tool Environmental Data Management, COP

49 Expectations for Operational Use in CA A COP Must Be Accessible to all Responders via a Network or Internet Connection A COP Must Have a Map Legend that Clearly Identifies Map Symbols Map Symbols and Terminology must be Consistent with USCG Area Contingency Plans for California. Individual Data Layers Must Have Assigned Accessibility, e.g. Responder, Public Level (TBD by the Unified Command) A COP Must Provide the Ability to individually Turn On/Off Layers Based on Login Credentials, e.g. Responder, Public A COP Should Provide the Ability to Compose and Print Simple Maps A COP Must Support Standard GIS file formats (ESRI Shapefile, KML, etc.) and Web Mapping Service Standards (WMS, ARCGIS REST, GEORSS, etc.).
