The ice must be sufficiently strong tosupport personnel and heavy equipment. See Tactic L-7 for realistic maximum operating limitations (RMOL) forice thickness and temperature. Also, ensure ice can withstand extra load of oil and ice on the surface withouteither breaking the ice or forcing oil to migrate through existing cracks. Extreme care must be taken when positioningor operating any heavy equipment close to trenches or slots in the ice. Stresses in the ice for a givenload can double under these situations. Ensure that oil that accumulates in an ice trench is continually removed.If allowed to build up to a thick layer, some oil may escape the ice slot.• Use of the Rube Witch with chain saw is labor-intensive and therefore slower than a trencher.BottomACS Rube WitchVarious techniques that are used on land can also be used on solid ice. (1) Partial trenches or through-ice slotscan be dug in the ice surface with a trencher to encourage oil flow to a collection point. (2) The skirt of a containmentboom can be set in a shallow trench to provide additional containment. (3) Another approach is to insert aplywood or metal barrier in a slot so that the barrier freezes in place. This tactic can be used to divert under-ice oilto a recovery point.For smaller volumes of oil on ice, small snow berms can be created to contain the oil, but only where ice is thickenough and/or grounded to prevent cracking, pooling, and forced migration of oil below the ice.ACS Tech.

Cutting in frozenground is much slower.orTrenching can help recover oil from a blowout on an offshore island in winter when the sea ice is solid.Gravel islands develop ice rubble fields around their perimeter, and a large volume of oil from a well blowout plumewould fall either on the island or over the rubble field. Where oil is flowing away from an ice rubble pile adjacent to anisland where a well is blowing out, it may be possible to dig an ice trench away from the island to encourage rivuletsof oil to flow to a collection sump a safe distance away. Liners can be used in both the trench and sump.Such an activity is attempted only if it is possible to work safely near the blowout plume.EQUIPMENTEQUIPMENT AND PERSONNELBASELOCATIONFUNCTIONPIECES# STAFFPER SHIFTTOTAL STAFF >2MOBETIMEDEPLOYTIMETrencher Norgasco Trenching 1 1 3 hr 0.5 hrRube Witch w/Chain Saw All Trenching 1 2 1 hr 0.5 hrBackhoeGPB, KRU, Peak,AlpineClear a trench area 1 1 2 hr 0.5 hrDEPLOYMENT CONSIDERATIONS AND LIMITATIONS• Check ice thickness for safe bearing capacity before working on ice.

If allowedto build up to a thick layer, some oil may escape the ice slot.• Use of the Rube Witch with chain saw is labor-intensive and therefore slower than a trencher.• Cut the trench only to a depth that will allow a collection area — not all the way through the ice.• A backhoe may be required to clear an area for cutting of the containment trench.ACS Rube WitchNOTE: “Base Location” is storage location (may change seasonally); “Mobe Time” is time to get it out of storage, prepare it foroperation, and make it ready to travel (concurrent for all equipment); “Deploy Time” is time to make it operational for its intended useat the spill site.
