Hypothetical Case No. 3 



A million gallon spill of Bunker Oil occurred in late July from a power 

 generating facility located north of Oswego, New York on Lake Ontario. Just 

 north of the power plant is a large State-owned and operated campsite/beach 

 that has been heavily contaminated with most of the oil coming ashore at this 

 point. The intake for this facility's water supply is 100 yards offshore in 

 3 meters of water. 



Biological and Cultural Value 



Natural areas . A publically-owned recreation area with a close-to-shore 

 water intake needs consideration. 



Score 9 

 Out of a possible 9 



Degree of contamination . Extensive surface contamination with a heavy 

 fuel oil has occurred but it is easily accessible with cleanup equipment. 



Score 7 

 Out of a possible 9 



Oil migration potential . An extensive amount of oil is in the water, 

 but not on the beach. A wind shift could move the oil to an adjacent wetland 

 area. A wind shift is predicted within 36 hours.

The cleanup scheme presented is not to be used to rationalize when a 

 cleanup operation can be terminated. The benefit of this scheme is to pro- 

 vide the OSC with a basis to make critical decisions for allocating limited 

 resources in a time constraining situation.
