🔍 Key Concepts

• Immediate pollution control responsibilities during cargo operations • USCG/OPA-90 requirement to stop the source of a discharge as quickly as possible • Proper chain of command and notifications during a potential pollution incident

💭 Think About

• In an active discharge, what action most directly and immediately limits how much oil enters the water? • Which options are about controlling the situation right now, and which are about investigating or reporting? • If you delay the most urgent step, what additional damage or violations could occur while you are investigating or calling someone?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice most quickly stops or minimizes the discharge • Separate actions that control the source from those that only gather information or report • Ask: Which step should occur before investigation and formal reporting in a pollution emergency?
