Oil Discharge Prevention and Contingency Plan Exercises

Spill response exercises are an important tool used by the department to determine whether an ODPCP is adequate in content and that it can be carried out by the operator. PPR staff often partner with local, state, and federal agencies, local communities, or other stakeholder groups - as well as plan holders - to plan, conduct, and evaluate contingency plan exercises. Most often, these exercises are also utilized to accomplish multiple agency exercise requirements, primarily those of the federal Preparedness for Response Exercise Program.
