Description:Between October 1, 1995 and September 30, 1996, NOAA's Hazardous Materials Response and Assessment Division Scientific Support Coordinators and scientific staff were notified of 69 spill incidents. These 69 incidents included potential spills, false alanns, and very minor spills for which reports were not prepared. Technical and operational assistance provided to the U.S. Coast Guard for spill incidents in the Nation's coastal zone included 48 oil spills, 15 chemical spills, 3 spills of unknown material, and 3 miscellaneous spills. In addition to the spills listed, NOAA assisted the U.S. Coast Guard with 35 simulation exercises. This volume of reports follows the format established for the Oil Spill Case Histories Report prepared in 1992 by the Division with U.S. Coast Guard Research and Development Center support so that major spills meeting the criteria for inclusion may be incorporated easily into updated case histories reports.
