Dispersant Application Equipment

DBRC dispersant application equipment includes the following:

Dispersant – DBRC stores 1-Tote with 300 Gallons of Corexit 9500 at the Delaware Bay Launch Service in Slaughter Beach, DE.  DBRC inventory and equipment is primarily intended for test application.

Sea Spray II portable dispersant spraying unit – The unit can be mounted on Delaware Bay Launch Service boats or other vessels of opportunity for water dispersant application and is located at Slaughter Beach, DE.

Due to the short window of time in which dispersants can be used after an oil spill, it is recommended that the spiller begin to mobilize the necessary equipment for dispersant application while approval from the U.S. Coast Guard is pending.

Any use of dispersants related to oil spills must be approved by the Coast Guard On-Scene Coordinator (OSC) and other federal and state agencies.  This applies to “pre-approved” areas as well as to areas where no pre-approval has been granted.  Refer to the Sector Delaware Bay Area Contingency Plan to obtain guidance on policies and protocols for dispersant use in the Delaware Bay.  When proper approval to activate DBRC dispersant equipment has been obtained from the Coast Guard OSC, the spiller’s representative or Qualified Individual will notify the DBRC President, who will then direct operation of the equipment.
