ESA MOU
| | A 1-hour presentation on "An interagency Memorandum of Agreement Regarding Oil Spill Planning and Response Activities Under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act's National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan," otherwise known as the ESA MOU. This presentation is intended to help establish procedures to facilitate smooth ESA consultation. Its provides a basic review of the NCP and the NRS and discuss their relation to the ESA and ACP its fish and wildlife annex. |
| | This MOU provides a framework for cooperation and participation among parties involved in oil spill planning and response. It outlines procedures to streamline ESA compliance process before, during and after an incident. |
| | Extended version of the 1 hour ESA MOU presentation. |
| | This 1-page matrix serves as an example of a tool work groups could develop. It examines the effect of using various countermeasures (mechanical, chemical, ISB etc)in different environments (i.e. terrestrial, offshore shallow, etc) and creates a matrix of the possible implications of these countermeasures. |
| | This fact sheet provides brief background information on the ESA MOU and then seeks to establish a protocol for cooperation among USCG, EPA, DOI through Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), DOC, NOAA and the National Ocean Service in the exercise of oil spill planning and response duties and responsibilities under ESA. |
| | This powerpoint presentation provides an overview of the ESA MOU. |
| | Answers Frequently asked questions on the MOA for Spill Planning and Response under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act's (FWPCA) NCP and ESA. |
| | An instructor aid for training session on the ESA MOU; Provides three samples scenarios, criteria for developiong one's own scenario and directions on how an instructor can effectively use a scenario during training. |
| | Created for use by federal agencies that signed the ESA MOA, this guidebook is intended to familiarize workers and service reps with the details of the MOA. Both this guide and the ESA MOA strive to facilitate cooperation and understanding between agencies incolved in oil spill planning and response, a process that must begin prior to any incident and continue long after that incident. |
| | Under Section 7 of ESA, the EPA/USCG is required to seek concurrence that implementation of an ACP is not likely to adversely affect endangered species or habitats in the area of implementation. This samlple letter requests informal review by the Division of Endangered Species at U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service/National Marine Fisheries Service of the plan in question. |
| | As required under Section 7 of ESA, after determining that the plan named is likely to cause adverse affects, the EPA/USCG must seek formal consultation from FWS/NMFS. This is a samlple letter requesting formal consultation from the Division of Endangered Species at U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service/National Marine Fisheries Service. |
| | Under Section 7 of ESA, when creating an ACP, the EPA/USCG is required to identify listed species and designated critical habitat that may be affected in the event of an oil spill. This samlple letter requests guidance from the Division of Endangered Species at U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service/National Marine Fisheries Service in complying such a list. |
| | Outlines the statutory requirements for preparing personnel to react to an oil spill. Additionally, discusses suggested training elements for qualified individuals, spill management teams, vessel personnel, facility personnel, oil spill removal organizations, and worker health and safety training. It also contains information on oil spill response courses, training resources, and includes three sample lesson plans. |
