摘要：	In accordance with the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan, many Regional Response Teams (RRTs) throughout the country have established pre-approved zones for the In-Situ Burning (ISB) of oil. ISB is generally recognized as a potentially effective means of quickly removing large quantities of oil from the ocean surface to avert possible oil spill impacts to coastal beaches, marshes, and inland resources. However, for a variety of reasons, ISB is a seldom-used response technique, particularly within the offshore environment. Given this background, the U. S. Coast Guard was interested in more clearly understanding the factors that impact the actual use of ISB within one RRT pre-approved, offshore zone. The U. S. Coast Guard Research and Development Center, with assistance from the Texas General Land Office, the Marine Spill Response Corporation, and the National Response Corporation, has developed a multi-year project, which is designed to evaluate the feasibility of conducting ISB operations within an offshore Galveston, Texas, environment. It involves three field exercises, which are progressive in nature, in order to investigate thoroughly the critical aspects of a safe, efficient, and effective offshore ISB response. This report documents the data, findings, conclusions, and recommendations derived from the first of these three ISB field exercises, which focused on the trial implementation of three presently recognized JSB Operational Procedures.
