Prevention and Response Branch - Contingency Planning
Through the mandate of the National Contingency Plan (NCP), the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Region 6 Prevention and Response Branch has developed a regional plan which integrates the Regional Contingency Plan (RCP) and the Inland Area Contingency Plan (ACP).
This Region 6 Regional Integrated Contingency Plan (RICP) is part of the National Response System (NRS). It is applicable to response operations taken by all federal agencies within Region 6, pursuant to the authorities under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) and Section 311 of the Clean Water Act (CWA as amended by OPA).
