Geographic Response Plans (GRPs) are location-specic plans developed to provide guidance for oil spill
responses throughout the United States. Until recently, the majority of crude oil transportation in the
United States has occurred via waterways on oil tankers and barges, therefore, most existing GRPs focus
on the protection of sensitive biological habitats and socio-economic features in nearshore
environments. The recent development of crude oil extraction from the Bakken formation has resulted in
a signicant increase in the volume of crude oil being transported via railroads and pipelines and has
highlighted the need for inland response planning. Much of this increase in crude-by-rail volume is
transported through New York State on two major Class 1 Railroads (850+ miles).
In response to this large increase in crude-by-rail trac, the Governor of New York issued Executive Order
125 directing state agencies to strengthen the state’s preparedness for incidents involving crude oil
transportation. New York State’s (NYS) Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), in collaboration
with the Department of Homeland Security & Emergency Services and Department of Health, are
leading a multi-stakeholder eort to develop Inland GRPs for the 21 NYS counties currently impacted by
crude-by-rail transportation. |
