ABSTRACT World production and transportation of petroleum products have reached such magnitudes that the United States must be prepared to cope with a massive pollution disaster near its coast. The problems of advance planning for cleanup of oil spills have been recognized for many years but received little active interest before the Torrey Canyon disaster in 1967. Following that incident the United States began developing national and regional oil spill contingency plans, and the first national plan was published in late 1968. The Water Quality Improvement Act of 1970 spurred additional efforts, resulting in publication of a more comprehensive national plan and completion of detailed regional plans. These plans created national and regional response teams and established responsibilities and procedures for responding to spills of oil and hazardous materials in U.S. waters with appropriate cleanup and control measures. The need for international contingency planning has been recognized during the past year, and some work has begun in this area.
