INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY The,Piscataqua River - Great Bay Estuary contains an abundance of valuable marine life which provides important commercial and recrea- tional resources in both New Hampshire and Maine. These resources must be protected from the serious and debilitating effects of oil spills if the area is to be preserved. The area is particularly vulnerable to oil spills because several terminal facilities are located along the New Hampshire shoreline giving rise to the tanker and barge traffic associ- ated with such operations. A particularly troublesome aspect of spills in Portsmouth Harbor is the very swift current (6-9 knots) of the Piscataqua River which will carry oil or other spilled materials considerable distances on each tidal cycle, fouling miles of shoreline and quickly encroaching on extremely ecologically sensitive areas of Great Bay. The New Hampshire Water Supply and Pollution Control Commission, under the provisions of RSA 146-A, is the agency designated to implement oil pollution prevention and control measures as well as to assume primary jurisdiction of cleanup operations in the event of an oil spill incident. The Portsmouth Harbor Oil Pollution Control Program was established to initiate and develop the capability to promptly and effectively res- pond to oil spills which threaten the waters of the coastal zone of New Hampshire. The objectives of the program were to develop an oil trans- fer operation inspection program, develop emergency response capa- bilities, develop an inventory of oil spill control resources available in the coastal zone, identify additional equipment needs, develop a com- prehensive contingency plan to deal with oil spills, and identify re- 1. search needs relating to oil spill prevention, control and cleanup methods. A report covering initial project activities was prepared in June of 1981. The report also identified a number of areas where work should continue and contained several recommendations concerning future goals of the program. During the period July, 1981 through June, 1983, further effort was focused on the areas of interest which were identified, resulting in the following accomplishments: � The acquisition of additional oil pollution control equipment to en- hance the Commission's initial emergency spill response capability. � Completion of the oil spill trajectory model project. � Additional training of Commission staff members as well as the sponsoring of training courses for local fire, police, public works and terminal personnel. � The implementation of certain recommendations made in the oily debris management plan. � Sample preparation and some analysis in connection with the base- line hydrocarbon study. � Completion o,f a tidal current and boom deployment study which re- sulted in site specific deflection boom designs and containment strategies each for each terminal on the Piscataqua River. The results of the work outlined above as well as other program activities are discussed in detail in the body of this report. 2. II. OIL POLLUTION CONTROL EQUIPMENT Subsequent to the initial purchase of the oil spill response equip- ment identified in Appendix E of the June, 1981 report entitled "Ports- mouth Harbor Oil Pollution Control Project", an additional $100,000 of CEIP funding became available for equipment acquisition. An inventory identifying all of the equipment now owned by the Commission, its loca- tion and the individual responsible for its maintenance can be found in Appendix B. Photographs of the equipment are also included. The only items originally contemplated but not purchased were the mops and wringers (estimated cost of $100), and the sawdust, hay bales and polyethylene (estimated cost of $1200). Since sawdust, hay bales and polyethylene are subject to deterioration and possible rodent infes- tation, long-term storage is not advisable. The Oil Pollution Control Division now supports the operation of the Commission's 36 foot patrol boat "Admiral William C, Vose IV which is docked at Great Bay Marina in Newington, N.H. This vessel provides the program with the capability for offshore and winter season duty as well as the ability to handle loads beyond the capability of the 18 foot workboat. Its use under some conditions, however, may be restricted by the absence of radar and incomplete interior cabin. 3. Most of the equipment has been used in various applications ranging from emergency response (booms, absorbents and hatch funnels) to subse- quent recovery of spilled product frDm both surface and groundwater (skimmers and scavengers). Extensive use of the PSI boom was made during the field verification phase of the tidal current and boom deployment study discussed in Section-VIII of this report. Experience with the equipment purchased shows that judicious use was made of the funds allo- cated for this purpose. III. TRAJECTORY MODEL PROJECT The purpose of this project was to develop a computer model of the Piscatqua River - Great Bay Estuary capable of predicting the potential trajectory of an oil spill so that containment and cleanup response efforts can be undertaken in a manner which will protect threatened resources and minimize the impacts of the spill. The model was developed through the combined efforts of Normandeau Associates, Inc. (NAI) and faculty members of the Mechanical Engineering Department of the Uni- versity of New Hampshire (UNH). This work began with an effort to define characteristics of the Pis- cataqua River - Great Bay system which controls movement of oil spills. This included both a literature review and a field program. The liter- ature review produced general background information and data on currents and tidal flushing in the estuary. The field program was developed to provide additional localized current and tidal height information throughout one tidal cycle and data on advection of materials floating at the surface. A key component of the oil trajectory analysis is current speed and direction throughout the system. The oil spill model employs a data file which stores current data for more than 1000 points between Portsmouth Harbor and the interior end of Great Bay. These data are stored for five-minute time increments throughout a 48-hour period. Both average tidal conditions and a maximum tide are described on two current data files. Three different techniques were used to develop the current data for different portions of the estuary. The dynamic movement of the oil 5. spill is analyzed by the primary oil spill model called "SLICK." This model uses the current file and other data to define the advective motion of the spill, its spreading and its deposition on the shore. Operation of the model requires input of the 'location, size and type of spilled oil, information on wind and tidal conditions and the time. Output consists of a computer displayed mal) giving the spill size and location at subsequent times. A report and detailed user's manual dated December, 1981 was the work product associated with this effort.. Examples of trajectory model outputs are included in Appendix C, and additional uses of the model are discussed in Section VII of this report. 6. IV. 'TRAINING ACTIVITIES Staff training activities during the July, 1981-June, 1983 project period consisted of attendance both at a week long oil and hazardous materials incident response course in Cincinnati, Ohio offered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the 1982 Hazardous Materials Conference in Milwaukee, Wisconsin at which many technical papers dealing with all phases of oil and hazardous materials incidents were presented. Other training activities included three sessions of a Commission sponsored course for oil terminal personnel as well as local fire, police and public works employees. The course was taught by the Chief Engineer of Jet-Line Services, Inc. and consisted of a three and one half day pro- gram of classroom instruction and hands-on training in the field. A de- tailed course outline and list of attendees are included as Appendix D. A comprehensive training manual was also produced as part of this work. 7. V. OILY DEBRIS DISPOSAL STUDY During the project period, the Center for Natural Areas, under con- tract with the Office of State Planning, prepared an oil spill debris dis- posal management plan for coastal New Hampshire. The results of the study along with the consultant's recommendations are presented in a re- port dated February, 1982. One of the recommendations relative to combustible oil debris was in- cineration at the facility in Durham, N.H. operated by the Lamprey Re- gional Solid Waste Cooperative. Accordingly, an agreement between the Commission and the Cooperative for this service was negotiated (see Ap- pendix E). 8. VI. BASELINE HYDROCARBON STUDY Part of the research effort associated with the project involves analysis of approximately 135 samples to develop data on background levels and types of hydrocarbons present in the sediments and biological life in the Piscataqua River - Great Bay estuary. The samples for this work were collected by the Fish and Game Department during its marine re- sources inventory of the area. The appropriate analytical methods have been chosen and all of the samples have been prepared for analysis by solvent extraction tech- niques. Gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer work has been performed on one group of thirteen samples. A map showing the sampling station loca- tions and the data from the first set of samples are included as Appendix It is believed that the information generated by this study will be quite valuable for further research use as well as future spill impact assessment work. 9. VII. CONTINGENCY PLANNING Work is underway to integrate the different program elements into a comprehensive oil spill management tool for the Great Bay/Piscataqua River system. The first task will be to incorporate into the trajectory model grid system, the following site information. Identification -Site name -Water body -Municipality Characteristics -Size -Ecosystem -Vulnerability Site-Specific Factors -Resource information -Access points and routes -Descriptive information on physical setting -Other information Once the site information has been completed, the different areas will be ranked for protection/cleanuip methodology using the following criteria. Risk of Spill Damage -Proximity to oil routes, transfers and storage areas -History of past spills in the area 10. "Value" of an area -Ecological sensitivity and diversity -Economic considerations -Social and aesthetic importance -Seasonal factors Recoverability -Natural capacity to recover from oil contamination -Difficu lty of performing adequate cleanup After the critical resource areas have been identified, the ability to protect that area will be determined based upon, the accessability to the site from land and water, and the feasibility and effectiveness of countermeasures. A response plan for protection and cleanup will be developed for each of the priorty sites where it has been determined that effective actions (such as deflection booming) are possible. Th e necessary types and amounts of equipment, along with suitable storage locations will then be identified. This information will be incorporated into a comprehensive Coastal Contingency Plan which will enable the On-Scene Commander to maximize the response effort and minimize the overall impact of spilled oil.. VIII. TIDAL CURRENT AND BOOM DEPLOYMENT STUDY Field inspection by members of the United States Coast Guard Atlantic Stike Team and preliminary work performed by the Commission staff indicated that deflection booming techniques could be successfully employed in the complex tidal currents found in the Piscataqua River. Accordingly, a study was devised to develop containment boom designs and deployment strategies for each of the five docks which would meet the following criteria: 1. Provide for a rapidly deployable containment system to be anchored in place and angled to the prevailing current to reduce oil loss due to boom failure which occurs when currents perpen- dicular to the boom reach velocities in excess of 0.8 knots. 2. Provide a spill containment system designed to contain a "most probable occurrence" (maximum spill to date at any terminal facility is 25,000 gallons). 3. Require a minimum number of personnel for deployment. 4'. Provide for deflection strategies which take into account current reversals due to the tidal fluctuation. 5. Insure adequate containment under varying hydrological conditions. In order to achieve these objectives, the following scope of work was established: 1. Identify tidal current velocities and directions, and localized spill trajectories at each terminal which will be used as the basis for designing an effective boom deployment strategy at each terminal (Terminals - Northeast Petroleum, Mobil Oil, Sprague /Public Service Company, Fuel Storage Corporation/Defense Fuel Supply, C. H. Sprague & Son). 2. Identify booming arrangements designed for maximum oil contain- ment and recovery. This must be site specific for ebb and flood tide at the bow and stern of' a docked tanker at each terminal and '12. account for changes in boom configuration required at tidal re- versal. Amounts of boom, angle to currents, number of anchoring points, etc. must be specified. 3. Identify and verify suitable boom storage areas for most rapid deployment by a minimum number of terminal personnel at each ter- minal. 4. Identify and verify access points for oil recovery and removal using skimming equipment, vacuum trucks, etc. The Ocean Engineering Program at the University of New Hampshire was selected to conduct the study, the results of which appear in a Decem- ber, 1982 report entitled "Emergency Oil Spill Containment and Removal Strategies for Piscataqua River Terminals". The study indicated that feasible diversion and containment strategies were theoretically possi- ble at each of the five terminals. Field testing, verification and modification of the proposed diver- sion boom designs was conducted by Commission staff and Jetline Ser- vices, Inc. (under contract with the Commission) in the spring of 1983. Not all of the designs were verified for each tidal condition at each terminal, however, enough field work was conducted to substantiate the current velocity and modeling work performed in the study, and the most critical boom designs at each of the terminals. The work was performed using Parker Systems Mark 11 (Model O-HD) 18H oil spill containment boom (see brochure in Appendix G)), and other Commission equipment (anchors, buoys, etc.). A summary of the tests conducted at each terminal is presented below: 1. Northeast Petroleum Corporation The outside ebb and outside flood boom configurations were tested at this location. On April 26, 1983 the outside ebb design, consisting of 1,7001 of boom deployed at slack tide in accordance with the design 13. sh own in Figure 1, Appendix G. was tested. A forty pound anchor with 100' of line was placed at the lead of the boom approximately 150' off the dock in the channel. Two intermediate anchors (22 lb.) were placed at positions 6 and 10. At 1331 hours the tide shifted to ebb. At 1339 hours the lead anchor detached from -the bottom and slowly began drifting down- river. A second 40 lb. anchor, attached to position 2, was set and held. The lead anchor was detached and 1001 of boom was allowed to hang. The position of the boom held until 1401 hours when the lead an- chor dragged approximately 100' before holding again. Countercurrents were noted in the cove below the terminal at both ebb and flood tides. It is recommended that the boom be tied to the vessel to avoid the drifting of the lead anchor, but even though the lead anchor was out of position, the boom configuration held during maximum ebb currents demon- strating that it would be effective in containing oil as designed. On April 29, 1983, 1,0001 of boom was deployed according to the out- side flood configuration shown in Figure 2, Appendix G. Two 40 lb. an- chors were placed at the lead and the boom was set at 0930 hours. The flood tide currents began to increase at approximately 1030 hours. The boom held without incident through maximum flood currents, except over the last 1001 boom section (postion 11-12). The actual currents exceed- ed predictions and it was evident that oil would entrain under the boom. It is therefore recommended that an additional 5001 be added to this design to extend the end of the boom to the next cove up-river where currents are diminished and a suitable recovery point exists. 2. Sprague/Public Service Company The outside ebb configuration was verified at this terminal on April 14. 27, 1983 at 1513 hours. The design as shown in Figure 3 Appendix G calls for 5501 of boom, however, it was felt that 4001 of boom was sufficient to boom the stern of the ship. In this location it is advantageous to use the shortest boom length possible because of the variability of the currents and eddys in the river. Therefore, the first two hundred feet of boom were eliminated and the lead anchor was set to place the boom at position 3. This boom configuration held through maximum currents without requiring modification. It was noted that the boom undulated in a snakelike manner in response to the eddys which moved through the area. This would have no effect on the ability of the boom to contain oil. 3. Mobil Oil Corporation The boom configurations for Mobil on the inside and outside ebb and for the inside flood are all very similar. The most critical is the outside ebb (Figure 4 Appendix G), which was field verified on April 28, 1983 at 1448 hours. As designed, the configuration terminates downriver below the Reliance dock and calls for 900' of boom. For the reasons given in the prior example for Sprague, the boom was shortened by 2001. Two 40 lb. anchors were placed at the lead in a 'IV" formation and the boom was deployed as modified. Field testing revealed one major problem with the boom configuration. At the shoreside end of the boom, the cur- rents exceeded predictions over the last 2001 of boom. Oil would obvi- ously entrain under the boom as a large "belly" developed in this area. This problem was recognized early in the field testing and a second 400, length of boom angled more sharply into shore was deployed on the inside of the dolphin downriver of the ship's stern. The shoreside end of the 15. boom was tied off at a chain link fence. This modification proved suc- cessful through maximum currents on -the ebb tide and will be incorpo- rated in the design for the inside ebb. The inside flood design was not verified and this modification may not be applicable. 4. Fuel Storage Corporation On May 5, 1983 the inside ebb configuration was field verified. The lead.was tied to the dock and 1,2001 of boom was deployed at 0830 hours as shown in Figure 5 Appendix G. The boom did not reach the shore and 3001 was added to the section in place to complete the booming opera- tion. One intermediate anchor (22 lb.) was placed at position 8 as shown. During the ebb tide currents perpendicular to the boom at posi- tions 11 to 13 were greater than predicted and oil would obviously en- train under the boom. It was, therefore, necessary to angle the boom more sharply to the currents and bring it in closer to a mooring buoy off the end of the dock as shown. During additional booming exer- cises held June 6 and 8, 1983 with personnel from the University of New Hampshire, boom was deployed in the modified location and was tied to the mooring buoy with approximately 101 of line, eliminating the need for an anchor. This configuration worked without difficulty and was rapidly deployed. 5. Sprague/ATC. On May 4, 1983 the inside flood configuration was verified (Figure 6. Appendix G). Approximately 1/2 mile of boom (2,500') was deployed at 1430 hours and held through maximum current. The lead was tied to the dock and two inter- mediate anchors were placed at positions 11 and 19. The intermediate anchors carried no tension load through the entire 16. trial. This configuration without modification was entirely successful and if boom is stored at the dock it can be deployed in a reasonable time during a spill emergency. Photographs and schematics of the boom configurations are included in Appendix G. 17. IX. CONCLUSION The purpose of this project was to develop an oil pollution control program for the Piscataqua River - Great Bay Estuary area to minimize the potentially serious effects and unavoidable loss of environmental as well as recreational resources which could result from the spillage of oil. The important elements of such a program are described and dis- cussed in this report as well as the initial report prepared in June of 1981. All of the program objectives identified since the inception of the program have been addressed and most have been accomplished. While resources to provide the capability to respond promptly to spill incidents in the coastal zone have been acquired, it should be recognized that absolute avoidance of spill related damage cannot be achieved due to the nature of the tidal conditions in the Piscataqua River. The program has, however, greatly enhanced the Commission-Is ability to prevent or substantially mitigate the effects of oil spills and although Coastal Energy Impact Program funding is no longer avail- able, the program will continue under the New Hampshire Oil Pollution Control Fund. Program elements which will receive further attention are described in the following paragraphs. Contingency Planning As discussed in Section VII of the report, additional work is needed to incorporate information developed by different program elements such as the trajectory model project, the Fish and Game Department resources inventory, and future activities planned under the UNH Sea Grant Program, 18. as described below, into a comprehensive oil spill management tool for the Great Bay - Piscataqua River system. UNH Sea Grant Program A project which builds on and expands the information developed by the tidal current and boom deployment study has been approved to receive funding under the Sea Grant Program. The work includes the development and application of a general computer model to determine the feasibility of installing booms at selected locations in the Great Bay - Piscataqua River system to protect sensitive resources from spills at terminals which escape the first line of defense, or those not associated with ter- minal activities. Baseline Hydrocarbon Study As indicated in Section VI of the report, work will continue to de- velop data on background levels and types of hydrocarbons present in the sediments and biological life in the estuary. Regulations Revisions to the Commission's 1974 "Regulations for Prevention and Control of Oil Spills and for Oil Terminal and Vessel Handling of Petro- leum Products" have been drafted and reviewed for consistency with cur- rent U.S. Coast Guard requirements. Comission staff has met with the Portsmouth Harbor Oil Spill Committee Operations Subcommittee for the purpose of presenting the results of the deflection booming studies and proposing additional requirements based on this work specifically related to pollution control activities during oil transfer operations. Incorpo- ration of this new approach into the regulations is planned prior to re- adoption of the revisions. 19. In conclusion, the Coastal Energy Impact Program Funding provided by the Office of State Planning in conjunction with the Oil Pollution Con- trol Fund and the Sea Grant Program has enabled the Commission to develop a much needed oil pollution control effort in the coastal area of New Hampshire as well as providing many work products of great value to the entire State. 20.
