- Abstract
- Significant advances have been made in the past 2 decades in the use of In Situ Burning (ISB) as an oil spill response tool. This collection reflects a substantial portion of the research, development, planning and implementation undertaken by hundreds of individuals and dozens of organizations. In situ burning is not necessarily the preferred oil spill response tool for all incidents, but one of a number that may be considered. This collection was developed primarily to aid oil spill response professionals with knowledge and training in the use of in situ burning as a response tool. Individuals or organizations should not attempt in situ burning of an oil spill solely based on the information in this collection. The collection provides a wealth of information in a convenient format that can be used in the planning, response or research environment. It contains more than 350 documents with over 13,000 pages and nearly one hour of video. With such a large collection it is difficult to index the material to meet every need. The material in Volume 1 is categorized for easy access to information most often related to planning and preparedness, response, data, software, case studies and links. Most of the documents are in Acrobat PDF format, so a copy of Acrobat Reader is included for those who need it. Some items are included in word-processing format so they can be modified for use as part of spill response plan. Volume 2 contains reference material from a variety of sources. This material has been indexed by primary author, a single topic listing for each item and all references for each author. Obviously these items will overlap with the categories in Volume 1. The user should check both volumes for information on a particular topic.
