The OSC must evaluate the existing in-house response capability and assess their effectiveness to combat the contingency on hand. The OSC is to assess and evaluate the capabilities available with other departments and agencies and is to recommend the degree of understanding and co-operation required to be worked out in the event any required response is being requisitioned from outside sources. The details of pollution response capabilities presently available with the various government and non –government agencies in accordance with the field of activity is placed at Annexure-6. 2.15. Based on the assessment and evaluation, the response decision would be ordered by the RCA. The response decision would lay emphasis on a central coordination under a single Organisation for handling the operation. In case this scenario is not feasible, the RCA shall lay down the procedures for co-ordination between the various groups associated with the response contingency. It is to be noted here that there seldom exists ‘the right approach’ but, if ever only’ the best approach’ to the given situation, The response decision would also attempt to select equipment on a total solution basis rather than an option wherein each operation is to be considered separately. Phase IV : Response Decision and Mobilisation 2.16. As previously described, the response decision will be broadly classified into three aspects:- (a) Monitoring if no threat exists (b) Contain recover and clean-up (c) Application of OSD 2.17. In case of threat perception, the response decision is to be arrived at after prioritising the threat perception and areas where the threat perception is likely to cause maximum damage. Certain ‘sacrificial areas’ may have to be considered for the overall response to the threat perception. The general strategy would be ordered for containment and recovery using existing techniques, which may involve mechanical recovery equipment or use of chemical dispersants. The details of the various methods of operation of mechanical recovery equipment are available in the manuals and publications of the response equipment held with the concerned agencies.

The Indian Air Force may be approached for transport aircrafts to mobilize the equipment. The key to the success to a response operation of containment recovery lies in the speed of mobilization of the desired pollution response equipment. Adequate equipment knowledge, effective use and trained personnel play vital roles for effective containment and recovery. The OSC / District Commander /DCSA are to identify specialist trained personnel form within the Region for the purpose of response operation. 2.19. The District Commander /OCA will provide all logistics and administrative support for the Coast Guard Pollution Response Team at the field of activity. Any shortcomings or limitations are to be projected expeditiously to the RCA for reinforcement. The availability of back up resources such as additional equipment and materials, transport and change around crew is to be ensured at all times by the OSC /OCA. 2.20. The response decision for use of chemical dispersants is to be arrived at after a consideration of potential ecologically sensitive areas, which may be threatened by the use of chemical dispersant. The prevailing weather parameters such as wind direction and velocity, tides and currents and the time of use are to be adequately considered prior to chemical response decision. It is an accepted fact that the short term as well as long term impact on the ecology by the use of chemical dispersants is combined with the high degree of uncertainty. The OSC/OCA is to obtain the express approval from the RCA prior to any chemical response in the field of activity. The application of OSD in the area by OSC shall be guided by the "OSD GUIDELINES 2009" promulgated by CGHQ. 2.21. The selection of techniques for the clean-up should be determined by the OSC in relation to the assessment of the risk spills and to the defence of agreed priorities for protection. The limitations of the spill control techniques must be appreciated and the most suitable equipment should be selected for the clean-up strategy. Cleanup Operation 2.22. Any cleanup operation is manpower and labour intensive. The OSC is to estimate the manpower requirement to undertake the cleanup operation and is to recommend the extent to which the requirement can be met through contractual parties. The OCA is to study the sources of back up labour from
