Develop guidelines and recommendations Develop guidelines and recommendations for decisions regarding shoreline treatment for decisions regarding shoreline treatment in remote (Arctic) regions. in remote (Arctic) regions.
Provide decision makers and planners Provide decision makers and planners with relevant information regarding with relevant information regarding potential waste generation, waste types, potential waste generation, waste types, and waste volumes upon which they can and waste volumes upon which they can set the response objectives. set the response objectives.

Report prepared on “Report prepared on “Guidelines Guidelines and Strategies for Oil Spill Waste and Strategies for Oil Spill Waste Management in Arctic RegionsManagement in Arctic Regions””
The conclusions and results were The conclusions and results were then used to develop a software tool then used to develop a software tool - “- “Waste Management Waste Management CalculatorCalculator” – as a job aid for ” – as a job aid for decision makers and plannersdecision makers and planners
3. TECHNICAL REPORT3. TECHNICAL REPORT
The report was prepared for The report was prepared for the EPPR Working Group of the EPPR Working Group of the Arctic Council under the the Arctic Council under the direction of the Joint direction of the Joint Secretariat, with funding from Secretariat, with funding from the governments of Canada, the governments of Canada, Norway and the US.

Key ConclusionsKey Conclusions
a.a. Volume of waste generated by a response Volume of waste generated by a response operation is a function of management operation is a function of management decisions, decisions, notnot of the volume of the spill. of the volume of the spill.
b.b. Waste transfer depends on boats and Waste transfer depends on boats and helicopters.helicopters.
c.c. ““Traditional” shoreline cleanup methods Traditional” shoreline cleanup methods generategenerate hundreds and even thousandshundreds and even thousands mm33/km. /km.
d.d. In SituIn Situ shoreline treatment can be effective shoreline treatment can be effective and generates very little wasteand generates very little waste..
a. Spill Volume vs Waste Volumea. Spill Volume vs Waste Volume
The volumes and types of waste generated The volumes and types of waste generated by oil spill response activities are NOT a by oil spill response activities are NOT a function of the size of the spill, nor the function of the size of the spill, nor the location, but rather are a direct function of location, but rather are a direct function of decision made by the spill management decision made by the spill management team with respect to:team with respect to:
the response objectives,the response objectives, the treatment endpoints and the treatment endpoints and the response methods.the response methods.

d. Shoreline Treatment Optionsd. Shoreline Treatment Options
The preferred options are The preferred options are in situin situ techniques as these do not generate oil techniques as these do not generate oil or oily wastes, only operational or or oily wastes, only operational or logistics waste materials: logistics waste materials:
Natural recovery Natural recovery MixingMixing Sediment RelocationSediment Relocation Burning, andBurning, and Bioremediation. Bioremediation.
Shoreline Treatment OptionsShoreline Treatment Options
These These In situIn situ treatment options are treatment options are particularly attractive for remote area particularly attractive for remote area operations where waste may have to be operations where waste may have to be transferred by boat or helicopter and transferred by boat or helicopter and transported long distances for recycling or transported long distances for recycling or final disposal. final disposal.
