OIL SPILL RESPONSE. Emergency consultation procedures allow the Federal On Scene Coordinator (FOSC) to incorporate listed species and critical habitat concerns into response actions. The consultation only addresses the effects of the response actions to listed species and critical habitat, not the effects of the spilled product (that is a NRDA issue). The Services shall provide the FOSC with timely recommendations to avoid and/or minimize impacts to listed species. The Services may, be asked by the FOSC to participate within the Incident Command. It is the responsibility of both the FOSC and the Services’ representatives to maintain a record of written and oral communications during the oil spill response.

The Environmental Unit Leader along with his technical specialists including ESA specialists… Identify the need for and obtain permits, consultations, and other authorizations, including Endangered Species Act (ESA) provisions. The ENVL is a very busy person. Practical Example How does ESA consultation Affect SCAT Activities? BTW, SCAT is out of the Environmental Unit too. ESA concerns: • Usually result in one or more Best Management Practices (BMPs), which affect how SCAT activities are conducted • May drive selection of cleanup methods and endpoints • Potential addition of a resource specialist to the SCAT team <.. image(A person lying on the snow Description automatically generated with medium confidence) removed ..> Is this the way it is working ??? How many FWS/NMFS field offices know that the MOA exists. For that matter USCG or EPA OSCs. Has anyone read it recently. Maybe, Coast Guard and EPA when requesting for Service technical assistance or participation should start off by citing the MOA (as a reminder that there is an established agreement and process) because it is the means by which compliance with section 7(a)(2) of the Endangered Species Act is achieved for Oil and Hazmat. But what about NRDA…………. As per the 2001 MOA, every effort shall be made to ensure that relevant information generated as part of the consultation process is made available for use in the Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) process. The impacts of the response activities on listed species and critical habitat will be jointly evaluated by the FOSC and the Services. If no adverse effects (take) occurred, consultation is finalized. EPA and Coast Guard ensure that the lessons learned and BMPs are recorded for future spill response and ensure that the ACP is modified accordingly.
