"This presentation is base on the Documentation and Critique of the Schuylkill River Spill of November 13, 1970 prepared by Altenburg, Kirk and Company, Inc., Thompson's Point, Portland, Maine 04102 for the Federal Water Quality Administration under Contract 1-P0-000687." |
| Contents Notes |
On November 13, 1970, 3 million gallons of waste crankcase sludge oil spilled into the Schuylkill River in Pennsylvania. This document depicts the breadth and rapid development of events and actions taken as a result of this major oil spill incident. This was the first time the revolving fund was utilized and action taken under the imminent threat provisions of the Water Quality Improvement Act of 1970. The report attempts to project, by using a case study format, potential problems that could be encountered by an On-Scene Commander and his team in similar spills. The Schuylkill case may serve as a reference point around which effective responsive efforts may be planned. |
