equipment from WCSS. e. Carry out a hazard assessment and Identify a safety program to protect workers. f. Determine the weight-bearing capacity of an ice sheet. g. Describe how to locate ice slotting area(s). h. Determine ice slotting tactics based on the weight-bearing capacity of the ice sheet. i. Recognize the WCSS Oil Spill Contingency Manual. j. Recognize a basic ICS structure.

2. After reviewing the equipment used to contain and recover oil under an ice sheet, attendees will be

able to: a. Identify typical equipment required to respond to a spill on a water body with an ice sheet. b. Determine the amount of white ice and blue ice in an ice block and calculate the weight-bearing

capacity. 3. After participating in the 3 hands-on activities in the Coop Winter Exercise, attendees will be able

to: a. Participate on a response team to an oil spill under an ice sheet. b. Identify tactics to locate and recover accumulations of oil under ice upstream of the containment
