Oil and Hazardous Materials Response Reports

Here are reports describing oil and chemical spill responses in which NOAA's Office of Response and Restoration (OR&R) participated from October 1992 through September 1999. They contain incident summaries, descriptions of the behavior of spilled material, discussions of countermeasures and mitigation measures applied, and descriptions of special issues.

You also can find this information on IncidentNews.noaa.gov, a site maintained by OR&R, and in the Oil Spill Case Histories [PDF, 1.7 MB] document, which summarizes responses to significant U.S. and international spills that occurred from 1967 through 1991.
