ASTM F 1779 Document Information:
Title
Standard Practice for Reporting Visual Observations of Oil on Water
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Feb 10, 1997
Scope:
This practice covers methods of reporting and recording visual
observations of oil on water and
related activities and phenomena.
This practice applies only to visual observations of oil on water from
an airplane or helicopter.
While a similar set of codes could be used for classifying oil on
beaches, this subject is not
discussed in this practice. It does not cover the use of
remote-sensing equipment from aircraft,
which is discussed in a separate standard.
This practice is applicable for all types of oil under a variety of
environmental and geographical
situations.
Visual observations of oil on water from the air involve a number of
safety issues associated with
the operation of airplanes or helicopters at low altitudes. These are
not dealt with in this
practice, but the observer should be aware of the hazards of such
operations.
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.
