1. ESA Section 7 Emergency Consultation Tool Task Force

2. Task Force Objectives: Clarify roles and responsibilities Develop guidance & checklist for responders Provide consultation documentation

3. Conference calls on 2/18, 3/10, 4/16, and 5/12 All task force participants recognize the need for developing a shared lexicon & managing expectations Draft guidance and templates sent out for field review on 5/23 On target for 8/1 submission of final product Task Force Progress/ Obstacles:

4. Group V/Non-floating Oils Task Force

5. Task Force Objectives: Create a section (response tool pullout) in the NWACP that outlines response techniques tools, tactics and considerations unique to Group 5 oil spills. Compile or draw from existing information.

6. Task force has indentified relevant literature on non- floating oil spill response to support our development of the non-floating oils response tool Task force members have reviewed and created a first draft of the response tool Task Force Progress

7. Next steps: Draft a statement to be included in the NWACP -- Section 2212, Section 2232 and Section 3420.2-- that references the submerged oil response tool we are developing. Include detail on potential permit requirements and a reference to the section 9401-- Permit Summary Table in the NWACP. Include detail on non-floating oils response equipment availability.

8. Task Force/ Obstacles: Unsure how to discuss NEBA for specific submerged oil response techniques. Group identified this as deficient and the possibility of tailoring the dispersant checklist into a tool that would allow users to document NEBA process/decisions for some of the response techniques. The group discussed how to capture the idea of scenario specific response systems for submerged oils response. We will build on our discussion of these needs during our next conference call.

9. In-Situ Burn Task Force 2014 Update to Policy

10. Task Force Objectives: Transitioning NWAC ISB Preauthorization Plan from population center-basis to geographical basis Finalize Separation of ISB Policy from ISB Operations/Planning Documents Refining ISB Decision Flow Chart to map out procedures Updating Health Standards and SMART Protocol to include PM 2.5. Add in Idaho Air Agencies information.

11. Clarify what R10 RRT/NWAC Preauthorization Plan looks like. Clarify differences between Preauthorized and Case-by-Case areas Clarify where, when, and with what agencies/trustees, emergency consultation/notification occur s. Do we modify national SMART protocol (references PM 10) to make R10-specific PM-2.5 protocol? Task Force Progress/ Obstacles:

12. Crude by Rail Task Force

13. Task Force Objectives: Create a Rail and Rail Facilities Map Geographic Response Plan Analysis Update Flammable Liquids Policy Create Section on Fast Water Response Techniques Summarize Rail Roles and Responsibilities Identify Resources for Fire Fighting Identify Resources for Air Monitoring

14. Rail and Facilities Map: Completed http://bit.ly/1l3G5fY http://bit.ly/1l3G5fY Geographic Response Plan Analysis: 75% Complete Update Flammable Liquids Policy: First Mtg 5/21/14 Create Section on Fast Water Response Techniques: 75% Complete Summarize Rail Roles and Responsibilities: 50% Complete Task Force Progress/ Obstacles:

15. Identify Resources for Fire Fighting: Identified Rail owned resources. Possible addition to TF work would be list of Fire Districts that have an active rail line. Could be used by others to survey Fire Districts. Identify Resources for Air Monitoring: Identified Rail resources. Will be scheduling a meeting to determine additional work that can be completed.

16. Wildlife Rehabilitation

17. Task Force Objectives: Develop site selection criteria that can be used to identify suitable deployment locations for mobile oiled wildlife response equipment. Potential deployment locations will be identified and field investigated to the extent possible. Results of the Task Force effort will be summarized and included in the Northwest Area Wildlife Response Plan.

18. Site selection criteria for identifying suitable deployment locations for mobile oiled wildlife response equipment has been developed. General areas for potential equipment deployment have been determined. The search to identify potential deployment sites within the general areas has begun. The TF is on track to complete the assigned objectives. Task Force Progress/ Obstacles:

19. Karen Larson Update for RRT May 2014

20. Active Members CDR Katie Blanchard, Sector Puget Sound Lisa Copeland, WA Ecology Debra Gable, ATSDR Ray Hoy, Oregon State DEQ Karen Larson, ATSDR PAC Mike Lutz, D13 Mark Macintyre, ATSDR LT Chad Thompson, Sector Columbia River We also have several industry members, but they have not been able to attend the meetings.

21. Workgroup Goal To update Section 9202 of the NWACP to include more details for five scenarios and to update the contact information. To create checklist(s) to ease the initial start up of a JIC to ensure it is methodically approached.

22. Current accomplishments Point of contact information has been updated in draft form. 9202 has been broken into subsections with leads for each section: 1-31: CDR Katie Blanchard 31-51: LT Chad Thompson and Debra Gable 52-53, 67-68, and 75: PAC Lutz 54-68 and 74: Use Gebby website to update 69-73: Lisa Copeland

23. Future Goals 1 July: All sections will be completed and sent to the team for review 1 August: Concurrence on all changes to forward to Heather and Josie for RRT concurrence.

25. 2014 SCAT Segmentation Task Force

26. Task Force Objectives: Continue coordination between stakeholder agencies and other NWAC members. Hold a one day workshop to outline and gain consensus on shoreline segmentation process/protocol (and do some limited segmentation during the workshop to practice proposed methods). Develop Guidelines for Segmentation in NW Area for NWACP.

27. Numerous Conference calls Held one day Segmentation Workshop on 22MAY: Included NOAA ERD, EPA, WA ECY, WA DFW, USCG, OSRO, Consultants, OR DEQ Draft Guidance for NWACP being developed based on group consensus during Workshop On target for 8/15 submission of final product Task Force Progress/ Obstacles:
