§ 830.6. Exercise Objectives Required for Full Certification.
(a) A spill management team issued an interim certification shall secure a full certification by successfully completing all the objectives described in subsection (b) of this section at a single spill or a single certification exercise in California. A certification exercise shall simulate a response to a spill or an imminently threatened spill of a volume that is equal to or greater than the largest reasonable worst-case spill volume listed in a contingency plan for which the spill management team will provide services. The simulated volume shall be consistent with the tier certification sought, as described in subsection 830.3(c). For a Tier I certification exercise, the simulated volume need not be larger than 31,250 barrels. The criteria for certification based on a spill response are described in (2) below.
(A) Objectives may be achieved at an announced exercise of an approved contingency plan scheduled in accordance with the Office of Spill Prevention and Response's Drills and Exercises program, as described in section 820.1 of subchapter 3.6. Spill management teams taking this approach shall indicate the “spill management team certification exercise” option on the corresponding Drills and Exercises Notification form DFW 1954 (03/24/21), incorporated by reference herein. The Administrator shall be given at least 60 calendar days' notice of the exercise chosen.
(B) If a spill management team chooses to achieve the objectives at an exercise that is not part of the Office of Spill Prevention and Response's Drills and Exercises program, the spill management team shall contact the Office of Spill Prevention and Response at [email protected] to design and schedule a certification exercise.
(C) An incident action plan or an Incident Briefing, ICS Form 201 (United States Coast Guard [rev. 06/13], or United States Environmental Protection Agency [rev. 05/18]), incorporated by reference herein, hereinafter referred to as ICS 201 in this subchapter, was completed and approved by the unified command.
(B) Consider threats to public health. Engage with the appropriate agencies and/or technical specialists and provide them with timely updates about the spilled product, potential volume, source control, containment, and any developments potentially impacting community exposure to air contaminants as a consequence of the incident. Provide support for air monitoring and sampling, such as equipment and personnel used in the conduct of monitoring and sampling activities, using health-protective exposure levels for communities and sensitive receptors, such as the Acute and 8-hour Reference Exposure Levels established by the California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment.
(B) Set up a common operating picture, which shall be posted (e.g., situation status board) at the incident command post or virtually, to display situational, environmental, and other specialized data. Additionally, provide either on-site physical storage media or server-based online data storage, with backup for all spatial data created for the response. Data, including the common operating picture, shall be stored in a format that is fully, equally, and simultaneously accessible to representatives of the incident commanders.
(A) To be eligible for credit for an exercise or spill response, the spill management team shall document in writing (hard copy or electronic) that the objectives described in subsection (b) of this section were successfully completed at the exercise or spill response (e.g., ICS 201, site safety assessment, information posted to common operating picture, etc.). All documentation is subject to verification by the Administrator including confirmation of participation by the listed personnel.
(B) The spill management team shall maintain records documenting an exercise or spill response for which certification or renewal is requested, including lessons learned. The records shall be maintained for three years from the date of the exercise or spill response. These records shall promptly be made available for inspection by the Administrator upon request.
(A) Within 60 calendar days after completion of the exercise or spill response for which the spill management team is requesting credit, the spill management team shall submit its name, assigned SMT number, and all supporting documentation described in subsection (c)(1)(A) above to [email protected].
(B)1. Within 60 calendar days of receipt of all the documentation, the Administrator will review the documentation to verify whether objectives were successfully met commensurate with the scope of the exercise scenario or spill circumstances in accordance with the credit request. The Administrator shall issue credit for the objectives successfully completed.
2. If the documentation submitted is insufficient or does not demonstrate successful completion of an objective, the spill management team will be notified and shall have 15 calendar days after notification to submit the necessary documentation. The request for credit will be denied if the documentation is not received within this time. The Administrator will review the new documentation within 60 calendar days and either issue credit or deny credit.
