TACTIC C-13 Deflection Booming in Open Water (Page 1 of 2) Deflection Booming in Open Water (Page 2 of 2) TACTIC C-13NOTE: “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. These times do not include travel time from base to spill site, which may have multiple components (see Tactic L-3).TundraSUPPORT• Recovery systems are sometimes used in conjunction with deflection boom.DeadmanCurrentEQUIPMENTBASELOCATIONFUNCTIONPIECES# STAFFPER SHIFTMOBETIMEDEPLOYTIMEAvgas Trailer ACS, GPB, KRU, Badami, Alpine Airboat fuel 1 1 (initial) 1 hr 0.5 hrCAPACITIES FOR PLANNING• One response team can deploy and tend up to 8,000 ft of boom in a 12-hour shift along 2 miles of shoreline (assumes10 working hours in a 12-hour shift).DEPLOYMENT CONSIDERATIONS AND LIMITATIONS• The optimum angle of boom deployment depends on the current speed and the length and type of boom. Theangle is smaller in strong currents than in weak currents and decreases as boom length increases. The morestable the boom is, the larger the optimum deployment angle is for a given current speed. Because deflectionbooms significantly reduce surface current, successive booms are deployed at increasingly larger angles.Open WaterCURRENT(knots)CURRENT(ft/second)BOOM ANGLE RELATIVE TO CURRENTREQUIRED TO KEEP COMPONENT OFCURRENT

These times do not include travel time from base to spill site, which may have multiple components (see Tactic L-3).1TundraEQUIPMENT AND PERSONNEL• To determine the approximate length of boom required, multiply 1.5 times the length of shoreline to be protected.Select vessels and booms according to area, water depth restrictions, and function (see Tactic L-6). Specificpersonnel requirements depend on the length and type of boom and the nature of the area.DeadmanCurrentEQUIPMENTBASELOCATIONFUNCTIONPIECESWork Boat All Deploy and tend boom 2# STAFFPER SHIFTMOBETIME1 hrDEPLOYTIMESmall StreamBoom All Deflection Variable 6 1 hrAnchor System All Anchor boom Variable 1 hr3 hrDeadmanOpen WaterTOTAL STAFF FOR SETUP 6TOTAL STAFF TO SUSTAIN OPERATIONS3 (AND 1 BOAT)SUPPORT• Recovery systems are sometimes used in conjunction with exclusion boom.

Other areas may be more sensitive andrequire protection, but ability to protect efficiently needs to be considered when determining exclusion boomingareas.• Don’t assume 100% containment with one boom system.Boom is placed across small inlets and creek mouths identified as sensitive areas. Exclusionbooming is used where currents are less than 3/4 knot and breaking waves are less than 0.5foot in height. The boom is either (1) anchored from shore to shore across the mouths of streamsor (2) at an angle to a shoreline to guide oil past the sensitive area. Crews with workboats deploy and tend boom along the shoreline in marshes and inlets.• Readjust angles and widths between boom sections as current and wind change. Constantly monitor nearshoreboom systems to prevent escape of oil.• Approval from the Operations Section Chief is required for any vehicle tundra travel (off-road or off-pad), whichmust be in accordance with ACS’ emergency tundra travel permit (See Tactic A-3). Any excavations in tundra orany tundra damage must be reported to the Operations Section Chief. All on-tundra activity must be documentedand reported to the Planning Section for reporting to ensure permit compliance. Avoid archeological sites andbiologically sensitive habitats. Travel across tundra with tracked vehicles, heavy equipment, and even foot trafficcan seriously damage the vegetative mat, induce thermokarst, and cause structure disturbance. Using sheets ofplywood as a traveling surface and minimizing trips with equipment greatly reduce disturbance of the tundra.• Below are boom towing limitations for airboats during overflood conditions in the nearshore Beaufort Sea (basedon 2005 ACS seasonal recovery testing):ICE CONDITIONSFIRE BOOM(20 lb/linear ft)FIRE BOOM(7 lb/linear ft)FIRE BOOM(6 lb/linear ft)DELTABOOMGroundfast or Shorefast Ice (with overflood) 100 ft 300 ft 350 ft 750 ftBroken Ice: Large, Dense, First-Year, Afloat 100 ft 300 ft 350 ft 750 ftBroken Ice: Smaller, Less Dense, Rotted 200 ft 600 ft 700 ft 1,000 ftACS Tech.
