1.
INTRODUCTION
The progress and advancement in technology bring tremendous increase in

number of industrial establishment within the area of responsibility (AOR) of Coast Guard
District Southern Tagalog (CGDSTL) covered the province of Batangas, Quezon,
Marinduque, Romblon, Occidental Mindoro, and Oriental Mindoro. Particularly the
ongoing projects expansion program of CALABARZON such as international
ports/harbors in the coastal barangay along CGDSTL AOR. Vessels plying to and from
the port of Batangas, Quezon, Marinduque, Romblon, Occidental Mindoro, and Oriental
Mindoro, such as motor tankers, cargo ships with large tonnages delivering oil and
cargoes have vastly increased.
As such, immediate revision of Plan and activation of containment and clean up
strategy greatly affects the masses living within the coastal barangay of CGDSTL AOR.
To ensure a minimal risk in cases of Marine Oil Spill (See Annex A),
CGDSTL/OSC must decide and act with precision prior assistance from the Higher
Headquarters during oil spill incident. The Oil Spill Contingency Plan drafted to ensure
precise and prompt response strategies and likewise serve as guidelines in the
prevention, control and mitigation of oil spill. This is consonance with the provisions of PD
600 as amended by PD 979 and HPCG Memo Cir Nr 01-2005 dated 07 October 2005.
1.1. Purpose and Objective

With the rapid industrialization growth, the Southern Tagalog Region, there is an
urgent necessity for a will drafted District Oil Spill Contingency Plan. This plan serves to
protect the bays, rivers, tributaries and coastal areas from the damaging effects of oil
spills by providing a coordinated response mechanism for combating oil spills using all
available resources.
This plan serves to unify the various local spill response mechanisms and at the
same time defines the capability limits and resources of concerned government agencies.
Solutions to problem spawned by intentional or accidental discharge also well defined in
this plan.
Considering also that Marine Environmental Disaster poses tremendous threat to
public health and drawing up lessons from oil spill incidents of Semirara and Guimaras,
this plan aimed to modify existing response techniques to be able to safety, rapidly and
effectively combat and contain oil spillage.
This plan also aimed to develop an appropriate and effective system of discovering
and reporting of oil spill incident. Likewise, to ensure the collaborative action among oil
companies within CGDSTL AOR during oil spillage.
1.2. Scope and Application

The DOSCP shall apply in all areas of STL bay, ports, harbors, inland waters and
their tributaries and adjoining shorelines within the territorial jurisdiction.

1.4. Concept of Tiered Response

1.4.1. Definition
In order to plan for a wide range of potential spill situations, from small, local spills
to worst-case incidents, this DOSCP subscribe to the concept of Tiered Response
which is also being used internationally. This allows for efficient escalation of response
efforts by calling on supplementary resources as required. Oil spills and the responses
they require are classified according to the size of the spill and the proximity to a response
centre.
Large
Spill
Tier III
Medium
Spill
Small
Spill
Tier II
Tier I
local
vicinity
remote
Proximity to Response Center

1.4.2. Tier I - normally associated with small local events for which response resources
should be available locally. Examples are spills associated with transfer of fuel or bunker
at a terminal, and smaller harbor spills. There will normally be no need to involve external
resources for a Tier I spill. Oil terminals, tankers and industries engaged in the use of oil
products are required to have an in-house capability to respond to Tier I spills. The
designated Marine Health, Safety, Security and Environment Manager (or equivalent
position) of the facility or the vessels captain shall be the Incident On-scene
Coordinator at the same time informing the nearest PCG unit who shall exercise
oversight supervision of the incident.
SOUTHERN TAGALOG
8
1.4.3. Tier II - is a larger spill that may occur in the vicinity where the spiller has limited
control of events or smaller spills at distant locations for which resources from several
sources may be required. Typically, the risk here is associated with shipping incidents in
ports/harbors or in coastal waters including pipeline/tank failures or near-shore
explorations/production operations. As incident of this nature threatens public amenities,
government resources may be required. At this level, the Commander of the nearest
Coast Guard District shall take cognizance of the response operations and directs the
mobilization of PCG response equipment and personnel under his operational control as
necessary.
1.4.4. Tier III - is dimensioned for the largest spills, such as large tanker accidents or
offshore blowouts. Tier III arrangements will usually call for the entire oil spill response
resources in a nation, including that of the Oil Spill Response Organizations (OSRO),
and may also call for international assistance. The Commandant, PCG (CPCG) shall call
upon any department, bureau, office, agency, or instrumentality of the government for
such assistance as in the form of personnel, facilities and other resources.
1.4.5. Tier Classifications
The spill dimensions associated with the individual Tier classes are classified in the
table below:

1.6. Overall Organization and Responsibilities

The CGDSTL is the lead agency responsible for preventing and controlling
pollution in territorial waters of STL Region. The Marine Environmental Protection Unit
(MEPU) that are under operational control of Coast Guard District Southern Tagalog will
assist/perform duties and responsibilities (as necessary) to protect the marine
environment.
In a Tier I spill, the spiller is expected to undertake the clean-up operation using its
own resources while Tier II spill will already involve the national response organization.
During Tier I and Tier II, the District Commander or any other designated officer shall
assume the duties and responsibilities as On-Scene Commander (OSC).
1.7. Other Oil Spill Contingency Plans in Relation to the DOSCP

1.7.1. Entities Required to have Oil Spill Contingency Plan
PCG Marine Environmental Protection Memorandum Circular No. 01-2005 dated
October 7, 2005 (Revised Rules on Prevention, Containment, Abatement and Control of
Oil Marine Pollution) requires the following entities to prepare their respective oil spill
contingency plans, to wit:
a. The oil refineries, terminals and depots;
b. Oil exploration and production activities;
c. Power plants and power barges;
d. Manufacturing plants and other establishments using persistent oil;
e. Shipping companies (Shipboard Oil Pollution Emergency Plans); and
f. Shipyards

CHAPTER II
OIL SPILL RISK
SOUTHERN TAGALOG
14
2.
OIL SPILL RISK
The maritime industry is a vital

component in achieving the socio-economic
growth of the country as evidenced by the
movement of goods and people by maritime
transportation
thru
various
vessels.
Nonetheless, the dependence of the country on
vessels for transportation poses also a
significant environmental risk especially those
arising from oil pollution.
2.1. Probable Sources of Oil Spills

The main potential sources of oil spills in STL bay, ports, harbors, inland waters
and their tributaries and adjoining shorelines within the territorial jurisdiction are:
a. Tanker Ships
b. The refinery
c. Terminals and oil depots
d. Other Ships
2.2. Types of Relevant Oil

There is a risk of a wide range spill from light oils such as diesel to the heaviest
bunker types (See Annex B).
2.3. Probable Fate of Spilled Oil

After being spilled at sea, oil
undergoes a range of weathering process
that alters the fluid characteristics and
quantity present on the sea surface.
Evaporation of light components and
natural dispersion of oil into the water
column will reduce the quantity of oil
present
on
the
water
surface.
Simultaneously, small water droplets will
be mixed into the fluid as a result of wave
action, forming an emulsion (commonly
known as mousse). This may result in the
quantity of fluid to be recovered to increase dramatically. Also, the viscosity of the fluid
may increase by 3-4 orders of magnitude as a result of these processes. Simultaneous
with the weathering processes, the oil will drift with the surface water current in the area
usually generated by the wind.
To assess oil spill drift and the mass budget of the spill as a function of time,
information is required about wind, current and oil properties. The calculations, based on
SOUTHERN TAGALOG
15
the laws of physics and empirical data, may be done rapidly using commercially available
oil spill modelling tools.
2.4. Priorities for Protection of Shoreline Resources

2.4.1. Marine Protected Areas
Oil poses significant risk to different coastal and marine resources. Although each
type of resources differs in their sensitivity to oil, they remain vulnerable as most of these
important marine resources lies within important maritime traffic routes. Marine Protected
Areas (MPAs) (See Annex C) provide one of the most important tools in providing
protective measures to preserve their ecological significance. Identification of these
ecologically important areas provides vital information and decision-making tools as to
what response methodology is appropriate. Further, response managers can prioritize
areas that need to be protected in the event of an oil spill incident.

OIL SPILL RESPONSE
STRATEGIES

OIL SPILL RESPONSE STRATEGIES
3.1. General Philosophy and Objectives

Normally, the aims of oil spill response are both to minimize the immediate damage
to environmental and socio-economic resources and to reduce the time for recovery of
affected resources. These can be best achieved by basing all oil spill responses on a
NEBA. Meaning the measures undertaken should be those that will result in the greatest
reduction of environmental damage for the available means and resources. However, the
said measures should always be compared to the "do-nothing" approach. Admittedly,
NEBA is not an exact science for the reason that neither the effects of doing nothing nor
the final outcome of an oil spill response effort are normally known. Moreover, the
comparison between both the aforementioned must sometimes be based on resources
that cannot be readily compared. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, some of the
guidelines in carrying out a NEBA are hereunder provided, to wit:
a. Collect information about physical characteristics, ecology, human use of the
environment, and other resources of interest in the area;
b. Review previous spill experiences and experimental results which are relevant in the
area and the response methods that were considered;
c. In the bases of the aforementioned, predict the likely environmental outcomes of using
the suggested response method;
d. Predict similarly the likely environmental outcomes if the area is left for a natural clean
up;
e. Compare the advantages and disadvantages of the response option with those of a
natural clean up;
f. Oil should be contained and recovered mechanically if possible;
g. Oil should generally be collected as close to the source as possible;
h. Focus should be on preventing oil from reaching the shoreline;
i. If mechanical recovery is not effective or possible, chemical dispersants should be
considered based on a NEBA;
j. Upon protecting shoreline resources, the level of priority should be based on its
environmental sensitivity;
k. All oil spill response efforts should be based on a NEBA;
l. The natural breakdown processes should be utilized to the greatest extent possible; and
m. Consider the No response option in conducting a NEBA.

3.2. Oil Spill Response Strategies

3.2.1. Offshore Response
The
prime
focus
of
oil
spill
countermeasure activities is in prevention and
planning. This is achieved through well-designed
equipment, good maintenance and operating
procedures, sound training techniques, and a
high degree of awareness and concern at all
levels by employees and management.
Unfortunately, notwithstanding the best
management practices an incident may still
occur. Thus, in the event of an oil spill incident,
the objective of the response is to assure that
actions are efficient, compatible, and balanced
with the environmental, social, and economic
needs of the community.
3.2.1.1. Guidelines in achieving the aforementioned objective:
a. The response strategy includes all viable techniques to reduce damage from an oil
spill incident;
b. No oil spill response option would be ruled out or limited in advance;
c. Immediate response action is initiated in order to stop the source of the discharge
and to limit the spread of oil;
d. Attention is paid on fire and other safety hazards; and
e. All protection and countermeasure options are considered to ensure quick and
efficient response in concert with NEBA guidelines.
3.2.1.2. Response Option Decision Process
Offshore response option includes:
a. Surveillance and tracking;
b. Mechanical containment and recovery; and
c. Chemical dispersion.
The appropriate response options that will be used in open water will be based on
the analysis of the rate and duration of the spill event, wind and sea conditions, weather,
limitations of equipment and supplies, and the expected behavior of the spilled oil. Each
option has a specific function and is used for different spill situations. The NEBA process
will be applied to offshore spill response, near-shore response, and shoreline cleanup.
For example, the response to an offshore spill that has the potential to reach the shore in
a productive marsh or wetland areas that would be taken is the one that would best
prevent or reduce the impact to the marsh.
SOUTHERN TAGALOG
19
Mechanical containment and recovery and dispersant application are the options
that would be evaluated in determining what response strategy would result in the
greatest net environmental benefit. These options may be considered individually, or in
combination with each other to yield the maximum benefit. For example, to minimize
impact to the marsh, dispersant use may be the preferred response option. This is for the
reason that although mechanical recovery may be the least intrusive, it is also inherently
inefficient and likely to allow oil to impact the marsh. While dispersants, although may
have a short-lived negative effect on some surface-floating marine organisms, are much
more efficient in removing the oil thus minimizing the impact to the marsh and resulting in
maximum net environmental benefit.

Below are the practical guidelines for selecting and implementing offshore
response strategies:
a. Booms
i.
ii.
iii.
iv.
v.
vi.
Boom
Work for most oil types on large or small oil
volumes.
Containment is most effective when the booms can
be accurately directed towards the oil. A boat is not
a good place from which to locate the oil.
Almost always leak even under the best of
circumstances.
Only as good as the crew that deploys and controls
the same.
Not static piece of equipment. The same require
constant attention.
Offshore containment costs can be high per barrel (but still considerably less than
shoreline cleanup and resource damages).
Skimmer
b. Skimmers
i.
ii.
iii.
iv.
v.
Different skimmers work for different oil types.

Inefficient in rough waters.
Oil recovery rate equals total volume recovered
less the amount of water.
Oil recovery cannot exceed storage capacity.
Offshore recovery costs can be high per barrel.
SOUTHERN TAGALOG

c. Dispersants
i.
ii.
iii.
iv.
v.
vi.
vii.
viii.
ix.
Dispersants
Disperse when you can.

Dispersion can be a very effective method for oil
removal from a water surface.
Environmental effects of chemical dispersion at
sea are much lower than the effects of oil in the
coastal zone.
Chemical dispersion can be effective with minimal
environmental effects in near-shore zone with good
water (tidal) circulation.
Dispersion does not preclude other actions taking
place concurrently (i.e., mechanical recovery or in-situ burning)
Aerial spraying can cover very large areas (tens of
hectares/acres per minute).
Any dispersant used should be on the list of PCG
approved dispersants
Should usually not be used at water depths below
30m, unless there are clear environmental benefits
obtained by this use.
Such use should be approved by the
Commandant, PCG upon the recommendation of
In-Situ Burning
CMEPCOM.
d. Surveillance and Monitoring (No response)

This approach implies allowing oil to spread and weather naturally.

The No-response approach may be chosen when it is found that the use of
available spill response resources for mechanical recovery and/or dispersion will
not provide a Net Environmental Benefit compared to the No-response.
The degree of oiling is light.
This method may be inappropriate for areas used
Mechanical Oil Recovery
by high numbers of mobile animals (birds, marine
mammals) or endangered species.
Mechanical oil recovery is not expected to be
effective.
The necessary equipment for oil spill recovery is
not available or may not be at the location on
time.
The oil or emulsion has viscosity below 2000 cst
and is expected to be dispersible.
There is sufficient mechanical energy (waves).
The method provides a Net Environmental
Benefit as compared to the mechanical recovery and the no-response approach.
The oil spill drift direction is away from the shoreline and other vulnerable
environmental resources.
The oil is of a low density and viscosity (high evaporation and natural dispersion).
There is sufficient wave energy to gradually reduce the oil amount on the sea
surface.
SOUTHERN TAGALOG

3.2.2. Coastal Zones Response

The coastal zone is defined here as the transition zone between open water and
the shoreline. The area does not normally allow the use of large recovery systems as in
open water, but may still be maneuverable by smaller boats.
3.2.2.1. Guidelines for Selecting Coastal Response Strategy
The main strategies for coastal zones are:
i.
Mechanically contain and recover.
ii.
Deflect from sensitive resources.
iii.
Use of sorbents for sensitive coastal zones.
iv.
Chemical dispersion for non-sensitive coastal zones.
v.
When oil is spilled at sea, measures must be taken to minimize physical

damages and pollution of marine resources and environment. Generally, it is
preferable to treat the oil while it is at the sea and before it spreads over a wide
area. Oil may be treated either while it is floating at sea or after it comes
ashore. The preferred method, where practicable, is to collect and recover the
spilled oil.
vi.
Physical recovery is not easy. However, various types of booms have been
developed. Large booms make it possible to recover oil in the open seas as
well as in coastal areas, given good weather conditions. Proper attention must
be given to the forecast of weather and sea state. Weather conditions can
substantially reduce the success of clean-up operations and may also require
personnel to work under conditions where their lives could be endangered.
vii.
Unless it is highly viscous or dense, oil when spilt on the sea will float and
spread. Unless early control measures are taken, the slick will cover a wide
area in a comparatively short period of time, making clean-up operations more
difficult. To avoid this, oil should be prevented from spreading in the first place.
Booms can be used for this purpose as well as for collecting and deflecting.

3.2.3. Shoreline Response

3.2.3.1. Clean-up
Despite efforts to prevent oil from reaching the
shoreline, some oil, in many cases, can still contaminate
the shore. Various techniques exist for cleaning of
shoreline areas that have been affected by an oil spill.
Since shoreline areas often are highly sensitive, special
care must be taken in selecting techniques for such areas.
Experience has often showed that cleanup efforts can
cause greater damage to the shorelines than the spill itself.

Natural cleaning.
3.2.3.3. Mitigation
Impacts of oil on shoreline resources have long been documented. In view of the
same, all efforts should be exhausted in order to prevent the oil from reaching the
shoreline. Initial response procedures should be directed on removing the oil from the
most severely impacted area and from those areas that are highly sensitive to oil.
3.2.3.4. Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation of affected shoreline should be undertaken only after the clean-up
operation has been terminated. Baseline data provides an important indicator as to the
progress of the rehabilitation measure. Affected areas are needed to be monitored
continuously in order to assess the extent of recovery. It is the prime responsibility of the
local environmental authorities (PGENRO, CENRO) and other concerned Local
Government Units (LGU) to undertake the rehabilitation measure.
3.2.3.5. Guideline for Selecting Shoreline Response Strategy
The spill response method to be chosen must provide the greatest Net
Environmental Benefit. In many cases, this is achieved by a combination of nonaggressive mechanical oil removal techniques and degradation/removal of the oil by
natural processes. These considerations should be reviewed upon selecting the response
methods. Note that for shoreline cleanup the time aspect is often less critical than that of
response on water. Often, it is advised not to initiate beach cleaning until all the oil on
water is removed and additional oiling of beach can be disregarded.

3.3. Oil and Waste Storage and Disposal

The recycling and disposal options selected for oily waste will depend upon the
following, to wit: the types and volume of wastes generated from the response operation;
storage, treatment and disposal technology available; environmental laws; and the cost of
each option. There are no standard models for determining the type and volume of oily
waste that may be generated from an oil spill response.
3.3.1. Factors that Affect the Type and Volume of Oily Waste Generated, to wit:
a.
volume and type of oil spilled;
b.
environmental conditions (weather, sea state, etc);
c.
characteristics of the sites impacted; and
d.
cleanup or recovery technique adopted.
3.3.2. Three Important Points that should be Recognized by Responders based on

Review of Historical Oil Spills, to wit:
a.
The total volume of oily wastes to be recycled or disposed is likely to be

significantly greater than the volume of oil that reaches the shoreline;
b.
Only oily liquid waste is amenable to recycling; and
c.
Oily solid waste is only amenable to disposal (land farming or landfill).
Oil and oil-contaminated waste must be disposed through the PCG/EMB-DENR

accredited contractors and such other contractors that may be accredited hereinafter or
as may be determined by the OSC/Stakeholders.

e.
Establishing and Staffing the ICR
The CCGDSTL, upon the recommendation of the OSC/CMEPU, shall establish the
ICR. The ICR shall be staffed immediately after notification of the incident. The following
departments shall be mobilized by the ICR within that period:
i.
ii.
iii.
iv.
Response Team.
Salvage Team.
Spiller; and
Support Team.
f.
Collecting Information
The following are the measures to be taken in obtaining the necessary data:
i.
Oil Data.
If the oil type is not readily identified by the source of the spill, oil samples
should be retrieved and measured on site or be sent to a laboratory for analysis. The oil
type, viscosity at the ambient temperature, density, emulsification tendency, and etc are
among the crucial information.
ii.
Meteorological/Oceanographic Data
Weather and sea condition forecasts should be obtained from the PAGASA
and other sources of information in the region. Tide and current data can be obtained from
published Tide and Current Table as well as from the Coast Pilot.
iii.
Oil Slick Characterization
The actual movement of the slick and the area coverage should be
monitored by appropriate means, for instance by ship and/or aircraft. The slick thickness
should be estimated by in site measurements from a ship or by assessment of slick
appearance.
iv.
Estimating Fate of Slick
Thru computerized oil spill modelling tools, findings of experts, and/or using
information on oil type, quantity of spilled oil and weather conditions the drift, spreading,
and weathering of the oil slicks can be predicted. Subsequently, the experts will fill up the
Marine Oil Spill Assessment (See - Annex G).
Modelling results should be checked against actual slick behaviour to continuously
provide improved input data to the modelling task. Oil spill drift is often estimated roughly
by a vector addition method in cases when computer simulations are not available. The oil
slick fate predictions should be made available in the ICR.

7.2.2. Mobilization Phase

This phase is defined as the period from the time decision is made to activate oil
spill countermeasures until the same are ready for operation (equipment and people in
place).
a.
Assembling Full Response Action
The OSC shall make decisions regarding the necessary response options to be
effectuated. The response options should generally follow the national response
strategies (see Chapter III) and should always be based on a NEBA
The OSC is responsible for obtaining the required number of Response Team.
The number of personnel and the qualifications required depend on the nature of the
response operation (shoreline cleanup, shoreline protection, on-water response,
mechanical, dispersion, and etc.).
b.
Identifying Immediate Response Priorities
Estimates of oil spill movements, combined with knowledge of the geographical

distribution of environmental and socio-economic resources, should be used to identify all
important resources at risk. Potentially affected parties should be notified so that all
precautions may be taken to minimize the damaging effects on the resources.
c.
Mobilizing the Response Team
The OSC shall develop and execute the mobilization plan of the designated
response team in proceeding to the site within 3 hours. The plan should also contain the
expected time of arrival of the teams.
d.
Planning Operations
The OSC shall present a plan for the response operations to be conducted
immediately after the arrival of the response teams.
e.
Preparing Initial Press Statement
The OSC is responsible for preparing the initial press statements. The statements
should include latest facts about the spill.
f.
Establishing Field Command Post and Communication
The OSC shall assess the need for establishing Mobile Incident Control Room
(MICR) close to the oil spill site. This will especially be needed in the event of shoreline
cleanup operation or shoreline protection. The MICR may be installed at any local facility
that provides suitable conditions for the spill control team including:
i.
Availability of telecommunication (telephone, fax, and e-mail).
ii.
Offices and meeting rooms.
SOUTHERN TAGALOG
43
iii.
Sleeping accommodations; and
iv.
Access by road and/or sea.
The OSC shall prepare plans for communication between ICR, MICR, and the
OSRT in the field.
7.2.3. Oil Spill Response Operation Phase
This phase is defined as the period during which oil spill response measures are
executed (skimming, dispersing, shoreline protection, shoreline cleaning, and etc).
a.
Oil Spill Response

OSC shall ensure the oil spill counter measures are affected.
b.
Updating Information
It is important to continuously update information about the oil spill and of future
weather conditions in order to predict the future behaviour of the same and direct oil spill
response efforts.
c.
Preparing Incident Logs and Management Reports
The OSC should continually communicate with CCGDSTL. In addition, the OSC
shall send Incident Update Reports to CCGDSTL at least twice a day using the POLREP
formats.
d.
Reviewing and Planning Operations
The effects of the oil spill response operation should be continuously reviewed and
plans should also be made for further oil spill response. The assessments shall be based
on information about:
i.
ii.
iii.
iv.
Spill magnitude.
Spill behaviour and movement.
Performance of the oil spill response already in place; and
Environmental sensitivity mapping.
e.
Obtaining Additional Equipment, Supplies, and Manpower
After the initial mobilization, the OSC shall assess the availability of additional
equipment or manpower and make necessary plans for the mobilization of the same. The
equipment sources may come from private industries (See Annex E).
f.
Considerations Concerning Escalation or Downgrading of Response
Based on gathered information and through the collaboration of the OSC with its
subordinates, the CCGDSTL shall continually consider the options of escalating or
reducing the efforts involved. OSC shall ensure that plans are always available for the
escalation of the response.
SOUTHERN TAGALOG
44
g.
Preparing Operations Accounting and Financing Report
The OSC shall continuously monitor and estimate the costs associated with the
response options to be implemented. The OSC shall keep CCGDSTL and the spiller
informed about the amount associated with the spill response. Cost recovery measures
shall follow the Civil Liability Convention (CLC)/IOPC guidelines and claims manual for
tankers while for other pollutants, the principle of Polluters Pay applies.
h.
Preparing Information for the Public and Press
The OSC shall prepare all necessary press statements. The statement should
include clear facts about the spill as established. The OSC shall also prepare press
conferences or meetings with the public that CCGDSTL considers to be necessary.
i.
Briefing Local and Government Officials
OSC shall ensure that local and Governmental Officials are properly informed
about the incident including actions already done and those that are being planned to be
effectuated. However, all releases of information shall be in accordance with current
communication operation instructions and document security measures.
7.2.4. Demobilization/Termination of Operations Phase
The CCGDSTL may, with the consent of the CPCG, terminate any marine oil spill
response. This decision will be made whenever the objectives of the response have been
achieved based on findings, analysis, and evaluation of the OSC. Moreover, prior to
seeking the termination of the response, the CCGDSTL will also hold a meeting with all
the senior response staffs and other members of the IOS. The purpose of the said
meeting is to determine whether the objectives have been achieved and the incident
response has been adequately completed.
It is, however, important to note that Habitat and Wildlife rehabilitation will affect
significantly the development of the overall response and demobilization phase managed
by the Response . Necessarily, among the key factors to be taken into account are the
impacts on wildlife. These can be addressed by the appropriate LGUs and other
concerned government agencies. The aforementioned consideration, however, will take
longer time. Subsequently, the termination of Habitat and Wildlife rehabilitation may occur
significantly later.
The wildlife response demobilization will take into account all casualties resulting
from an oil spill event. It is common for a tai animal to remain in rehabilitation even after
majority of animals have been released already. De-escalation of the wildlife response in
the matter of distribution or re-housing of residual animals from the primary response
facility may be undertaken when a balance of cost in sustaining its operation dictates that
the same will be more economical.
Moreover, the response termination shall involve the recovery, cleaning and
maintenance of all equipment used during the cleanup, the demobilization of all personnel
involved in the response, and the collation and completion of all documentations
associated with the spill response including expenditure reports. After the demobilization
of equipment and facilities the same will be restored to pre-spill capability. Additional
SOUTHERN TAGALOG
45
resources will be needed to be retained to complete the rehabilitation of equipment and

facilities.
Before the response personnel depart from their stations they should attend a
debriefing meeting with their respective Team Leader. These team leaders will then
attend debriefings with their OSC and the CCGDSTL.
As part of the termination process, all teams shall compile a detailed events log,
which should be passed to the OSC. The OSC is responsible for ensuring that the event
history is compiled, costs are recovered, enforcement procedures are undertaken (if
warranted), and for arranging the running of the post-incident (cold) debriefs.
a.
Deciding Final and Optimal Level of Beach Clean-Up and Future Monitoring
The OSC and CCGDSTL in cooperation with the local environmental authorities
shall identify any need for additional beach cleanup in the future and prepare plans on
how the polluted area can be monitored. In addition, plans should be made for any
necessary means to protect the wildlife and people from the remaining contamination.
b.
Demobilizing, Cleaning, Maintaining, and/or Replacing Equipments
The OSC shall prepare plans for the demobilization and return of equipments to the
designated storage areas. Plans shall also be made for cleaning, maintaining and
assessing the technical state of the equipments. Reports of the status of the equipments
shall also be made.
c.
Debriefing
A debriefing of response staff and officers, externally facilitated and chaired, shall
be held following the termination of the response. This will serve as a review of the
appropriate Facility and District Oil Spill Contingency Plan and will highlight areas where
the response (and planning) could be improved. The OSC is responsible for arranging the
time and venue of the debriefing and shall inform those persons and/or representatives of
supporting organizations of such arrangements. Those persons and/or representatives
are expected to attend the debriefing. Costs associated with attending the debriefing or
the completion of reports shall be considered to be part of the overall incident response.
This phase includes all actions after decisions have been made to downsize or terminate
the operation.
d.
Preparing Report
Formal final reports shall include.
i.

Claims for Compensation
Individual or groups who have suffered quantifiable economic lost brought about by
the spill can apply for compensation through existing international compensation regimes
in which the country has acceded to. The 1992 Civil Liability Convention and 1992 FUND
Convention provides guidelines for the application, assessment and payment for claims
arising from the damaging effects of oil.
In order to implement the provisions of the Conventions, the country has recently
passed Republic Act 9483 or Oil Pollution Compensation Act of 2007. The Act provided
guidelines for the filing of appropriate claims of compensation. The Philippine Coast
Guard was primarily tasked to conduct oil spill response operation. Further, the PCG was
designated to consolidate all claims for expenses incurred by the Government from the
utilization of the Oil Pollution Management Fund (OPMF) for filing at the appropriate
Regional Trial Court.

Incident Update Report

The format for update report follows the format of OSC report to CGDSTL and must be
transmitted at 0800H and 1600H daily.
Overview of Responders Forms:
Four separate forms are provided for the responders use:
Pollution Incident Evaluation Form
Notification of a Marine Oil Spill
Marine Oil Spill Assessment (two pages)
Request for Maritime Assistance
Aerial Surveillance Observer Log
Summary of Forms
1. Pollution Incident Evaluation Form
This form is to be completed by the initial recipient of a reported oil spill. The
accomplished form will eventually be submitted to the Headquarters, PCG (Info:
HMEPCOM)
2. Notification of a Marine Oil Spill
A template is provided for the CG Districts to report details of all oil spills to the their
respective AORs. For potentially significant spills, the HPCG (info: HMEPCOM) should be
notified immediately, and the Notification Form faxed through as soon as possible. For
minor spills the Notification Form should be faxed through within Twenty Four (24) hours.
3. Marine Oil Spill Assessment
A template is provided to ensure that the spill information necessary to mount an
appropriate response is collected. Information includes spill location, weather conditions,
predicted spill movement, spill size and oil type. The form can be updated and used as a
situation report (SITREP) through a spill response. This form (2 pages) should be filled in
and faxed to the HPCG for significant spills, particularly if assistance may be required.
4. Request for Maritime Assistance
A template is provided to request the HPCGs (Attn: MEPCOM) assistance with
equipment and/or specialist advice. For any potentially significant spill, the PCG should be
immediately notified of the type and quantity equipment or specialist advice that may be
needed. Requests for assistance should be made as early as possible to allow personnel
to be notified and prepared for possible mobilization.
5. Aerial Surveillance Observer Log
A template is provided to provide assistance with observing oil spills from the air. These
forms will act as helpful reminders to On-Scene Commanders to initiate inquiries aimed at
answering all of the relevant questions on the forms. It is acknowledged that all of the
items stated will not be answered immediately. Indicate on the initial notification which
data is being actively sought. All of these fundamental information must be addressed
within the very initial stages of a oil spill response.
