🔍 Key Concepts

• 33 CFR 155 – Oil Pollution Prevention during fuel transfer operations • Hierarchy of response: stop the source first, then contain and clean up • Why dispersants and makeshift repairs (like duct tape) are generally NOT appropriate first responses at the pier

💭 Think About

• When you see oil on the water during a transfer, what is the most effective way to immediately prevent more pollution? • Which options could make the situation worse, hide the evidence, or fail to actually stop the leak? • Think about legal requirements: what would the Coast Guard expect you to do FIRST before any cleanup or repair?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice actually stops the flow of oil rather than just managing what is already spilled • Eliminate any options that do not meet pollution prevention regulations in 33 CFR 155 • Verify that your chosen action would be the required immediate step before reporting, repairing, or resuming operations
