Oil Pollution Prevention Planning
As a result of several major oil spills in the late 1980’s, such as the Exxon Valdez in Prince William Sound, Alaska, the U.S. Congress passed the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (commonly referred to as OPA 90). This legislation required the President of the United States to issue regulations that require owners and operators of tank vessels, offshore facilities or certain onshore facilities to prepare and submit response plans (to applicable agencies) for responding to the discharge and/or the substantial threat of a discharge of oil.


Response Plans
The U.S. Coast Guard regulates vessel response plans and marine transportation-related (MTR) facilities, because of their location, could reasonably be expected to cause "substantial harm" to the environment by discharging oil. Payne Environmental Services is knowledgeable of the regulations and experienced in the preparation of response plans that accurately reflect facility operations. We would appreciate the opportunity to work with your team on the preparation (or revision) of your VRP or FRP.

Dock Operations Manual Preparation
In an attempt to protect the coastal environment, the U.S. Coast Guard has established a set of regulations that require a manual be prepared that describes the over the water transfer operations of bulk oil or hazardous substances. This Dock Operations Manual must describe the physical facility and its operations including equipment descriptions and the type of materials anticipated to be transferred. This Dock Operations Manual must be submitted and reviewed for approval prior to the start of operations. We are knowledgeable of the regulations and experienced in the preparation of Dock Operations Manuals that meet regulatory requirements. We would appreciate the opportunity to work with your team on the preparation (or revision) of your Dock Operations Manual.  Below is a list of several other Marine related services provided by our firm:
