Date of Summary | March 31, 1990 |
Subject | Open Ocean Boom Test |
Performing Activity | Conservation and Protection Agency, Environment Canada |
Principal Investigator | Mr. Kenneth M. Meikle |
Contracting Agency | Minerals Management Service |
Estimated Completion | Completed |
Description | The Minerals Management Service and Conservation and Protection Agency, Environment Canada, initiated open ocean oil spill response equipment performance evaluations in 1984. The objective of this study was to develop a nonpolluting and cost-effective testing procedure. This standardized testing would provide a predictive capability for the behavior of each piece of equipment in a range of sea states. This standardized test procedure could be used to approve specific pieces of equipment for different lease areas. |
