31 Tex. Admin. Code § 20.21 - Response to an Unauthorized Discharge of Oil
(a) The state trustees and the SOSC or his
designated representative shall, through the incident unified command system:
(1) assist each other in prioritizing
protection of natural resources during an unauthorized discharge of oil. The
state trustees shall be available, throughout the response to the unauthorized
discharge of oil, to advise the SOSC regarding the impact of response
activities on natural resources;
(2) confer on a daily basis in accordance
with the National Contingency Plan and Area Contingency Plans;
(3) integrate and coordinate response and
assessment activities whenever such integration and coordination does not
interfere with response activities; and
(4) exchange information related to the
impact of response activities on natural resources. The SOSC shall provide the
state trustees with an incident report detailing the quality of the responsible
person's containment and removal actions and the protection and preservation of
natural resources.
(b)
The SOSC shall advise the state trustees when the impacted area is safely
accessible for damage assessment activities. The SOSC shall allow access to the
impacted area in accordance with the site safety plan. The SOSC may limit the
state trustee activities only if such activities would create an unreasonable
interference with response actions.
