ASTM F 2204 Document Information:
Title
Standard Guide for Describing Shoreline Response Techniques
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Oct 10, 2002
Scope:
This guide describes methods of cleaning and remediating shorelines
containing stranded oil. The
primary goal of any shoreline countermeasure is to aid recovery while
minimizing additional impact.
This guide describes 21 different countermeasures that are available
for consideration. These
countermeasures range from natural recovery to active intervention.
The countermeasures listed may not be the best for use under all
possible circumstances, and
multiple countermeasures may need to be used on the same shoreline.
This guide describes technical considerations for selecting one
technique or another, or both.
Additional guides, presently under development, will address
considerations related to habitat and
oil characteristics.
Selection of specific countermeasures for use during a spill response
will be guided by the
properties of the stranded oil, the degree of contamination, shoreline
accessibility, shoreline
geomorphology, mobility of available equipment, oceanographic and
meteorological conditions, and
the presence of sensitive natural and archeological resources. Some of
the response options will
require government authorization and approval.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,
if any, associated with its
use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to
establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
