During 2008-2009, an evaluation ofrequirements and Request for Proposal for the purchaseof equipment and first-response systems for the first phase($1.25 million) was initiated. In 2009-2010, we willcomplete the purchase and distribution of EnvironmentalResponse equipment packages.Commitment2009-2010Complete acquisition and distribution of equipmentpackages.LeadDG, MSAC, C&AReview of the National EnvironmentalResponse StrategyDomestic and international obligations require Canadato maintain considerable preparedness capacity to respondto domestic and international marine pollution incidents,as well as to act as a strategic reserve for industry south of60 degrees latitude. However, we must assess our currentand future ability to deliver on these statutory obligations,especially where there are multiple spills or clean-upmight be prolonged.<strong>Canadian</strong> <strong>Coast</strong> <strong>Guard</strong> — www.ccg-gcc.gc.ca
Section 4: What We Do Every DayTo ensure an effective, long-term EnvironmentalResponse Services program, we have conducted a reviewof our National Environmental Response Strategy.This Strategy captures all of the elements necessary forEnvironmental Response Services to develop, implement,and demonstrate the preparedness, response processes,and response procedures needed to respond to ship-sourcespills on waters over which Canada has jurisdiction.During our review of the Strategy, we drafted revisionsof the National Response Policy and National Response<strong>Plan</strong>. We subsequently identified ER equipment systemsusing current inventory and determined what componentsare required to ensure meeting capacity requirements.The National Environmental Response Strategy remainsa work in progress and is presently in draft stage. CCGhas started an internal review of the draft Strategy andis planning to conduct broader discussions with ourpartners in the coming months to continue the updateof the Strategy.Progress was made in a couple of key areas in 2008-2009; competency profiles and a training strategy forER management were completed. A senior managerstraining course was also developed.In 2009-2010, work will continue on the NationalEnvironmental Response Strategy, with furtherconsultation with our partners. Competency profiles anda training strategy for all positions with the ResponseManagement System and all ER personnel will bedeveloped. The senior managers training course willbe delivered. A National Training <strong>Plan</strong> and a NationalExercise <strong>Plan</strong> will be developed in consultation withregions and the CCG College. A tabletop spill exercisewith federal and industry partners will be conductedas a precursor to an on-water exercise that will beundertaken the following year.Brigadier General M. G. ZalinskiCCG is playing a key role in addressing an oil-pollutionthreat posed by the wreck of the United States vesselBrigadier General M. G. Zalinski. This vessel sankin the Grenville Channel in British Columbia inSeptember 1946, entombing a cargo of munitions andan estimated 700 tonnes of fuel. The wreck, which laylargely forgotten, began leaking the fuel in 2003.Following assessment of the situation and thedevelopment of an action plan during 2008-2009, allof the action plan components were refined and costed.During 2009-2010, we will seek to identify a fundingsource for the operational costs.Commitment2009-2010Develop an oil removal operation funding proposal.2010-2011Implement the action plan, subject to funding availability.LeadDG, MSDG, MSEnvironmental Response ServicesTechnical TrainingIn 2008-2009, the ER technical training strategy waspartially drafted. However, further details need tobe developed. The strategy will address regulatory,operational, and maintenance (refresher) requirementsin the context of continuous learning and the flexibledelivery of training. The training strategy awaits thedevelopment of competency profiles. When these arecompleted in 2009-2010, the ER technical trainingstrategy will be finalized.Commitment2009-2010Finalize and implement a framework and strategy fortechnical training.LeadDG, MS43Commitment2009-2010Consult partners on the National EnvironmentalResponse Strategy.Draft a National Training <strong>Plan</strong> in consultation with CCGregions.Design and conduct a Spill of National Significancetabletop exercise that includes federal and industrypartners.2010-2011Conduct and evaluate a Spill of National Significancedeployment exercise that includes federal, industry, andinternational partnersComplete the revision of the National EnvironmentalResponse Strategy.SDSLeadDG, MSDG, MSDG, MSReinvestment in the Asset BaseEnvironmental Response Services capital projects for2009-2010 focus on investing in ER equipment forthe Arctic.
