SUMMARY:Non-Floating Oil Risk Mapping in Washington State Geographic Respo
 nse Plans
DESCRIPTION:Poster\n\nWendy Buffett (Washington State Department of Ecolog
 y Spills Program)\n\nIn 2018, the Washington State Legislature required th
 e Department of Ecology to address the increased risks from non-floating o
 il (NFO) in the state’s Geographic Response Plans (GRPs), in response to i
 ncreased diluted bitumen shipments in waters shared with Canada. \n\nEcolo
 gy’s Spill Prevention, Preparedness, and Response Program created a statew
 ide map layer to identify areas with the highest likelihood of NFO accumul
 ation, as ranked on a 10-point risk scale.  The ranking system uses inform
 ation from existing data layers, the uSCAT Technical Reference Manual, and
  the 2016 API Technical Report on Sunken Oil Detection and Recovery. \n\nP
 lanners use the layer to identify sites at highest risk of accumulation, t
 hen evaluate the factors at those sites that may limit survey and cleanup 
 methods, such as water depth, shipwrecks, and contaminated soils. This ana
 lysis is then added to Geographic Response Plans in areas where NFOs are m
 oved in bulk. An interactive map overlays the NFO layer with known hazards
 , visualizing the response potential in both inland and marine zones. \n\n
 This poster will show how the risk layer was created, how it pre-identifie
 s sites to begin initial submerged oil surveys, and its utility for public
  outreach and education. Other state, federal, or tribal governments may f
 ind this approach useful for improving NFO spill readiness in their prepar
 edness programs.\n\nTag: Preparedness, Prevention, Remediation, Response,
