| 2 | A safety assessment of the spill by work boat with trained crew and appropriate air monitoring, with 1,000 feet of boom could have arrived | ||
| 3 | Additional 2,000 feet of boom, or 4 times the length of the largest vessel whichever is less, to be used for containment, protection or recovery could have arrived | ||
| 6 | Additional 12,000 feet of boom with at least 2,400 feet of boom being calm water - current capable appropriate for containment, protection or recovery could have arrived | Capacity to recover the lesser of 3% of worst case spill volume or 12,500 barrels within 24-hour period could have arrived. 50% must be able to work in shallow water environments - depth of 10 feet or less | 1 times the EDRC |
| 12 | Additional 20,000 feet of boom with at least 1,000 feet of boom calm water - current capable, for containment, protection or recovery could have arrived | Capacity to recover the lesser of 10% of worst case spill volume or 36,000 barrels within 24-hour period could have arrived. At least 50% of the skimming capability must be able to work in shallow water environments - depth of 10 feet or less | 1.5 times the EDRC |
| 24 | Additional 20,000 feet of boom for containment, protection or recovery could have arrived | Capacity to recover the lesser of 14% of worst case spill volume or 48,000 barrels within 24-hour period could have arrived | 2 times the EDRC |
| 48 | More boom as necessary for containment, recovery or protection | Capacity to recover the lesser of 25% of worst case spill volume or 60,000 barrels within 24-hour period could have arrived | More as necessary to not slow the response |
