Understanding Oil Spills
This 1993 pdf document contains sections that outline what oil spills are, their potential effects on the environment, how they are cleaned up, and how various agencies prepare for spills before they happen. An in-depth look at the Exxon Valdez spill of March 1989 exemplifies the complexities that can potentially be involved in oil spill cleanup activities. Note that the .pdf file does not include photos found in the bound version. How to Report
Reporting a hazardous substance release or oil spill takes only a few minutes. To report a release or spill, contact the federal government's centralized reporting center, the National Response Center (NRC), at 1-800-424-8802. The NRC is staffed 24 hours a day by U.S. Coast Guard personnel, who will ask you to provide as much information about the incident as possible.
