🔍 Key Concepts

• Approved oil spill response methods under U.S. regulations • Difference between mechanical recovery (like skimmers/booms) and absorbent materials • Which materials are environmentally acceptable and commonly stocked in spill kits

💭 Think About

• Look at which options are commonly included in commercial or onboard oil spill response kits and which one seems out of place. • Ask yourself which material could create an additional solid-waste disposal or contamination problem rather than helping containment and recovery. • Think about what Coast Guard- or EPA-approved response plans typically list as primary tools: which listed choice does not fit that pattern?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choices are mechanical or absorbent recovery methods that physically remove oil from the water. • Consider which material, if thrown directly on an oil spill, might scatter, sink, or worsen environmental impact instead of safely absorbing and recovering the oil. • Recall that response equipment is usually specifically designed or chosen for oil, not just any loose material you might have onboard.
