The training, conducted in collaboration with trainers from U.S. EPA Region 10 and Washington Department of Ecology, was focused on techniques for conducting surveys of shorelines impacted by oil spills in freshwater environments. The class also covered considerations for appropriate cleanup methods for different types of shorelines in freshwater environments. Over thirty spill responders from Idaho Department of Environmental Quality, Idaho Department of Fish and Game, Idaho Department of Public Lands, Idaho Department of Water Resources, Tesoro, Phillips 66, and BNSF Railway Company are attending the class.
