Our CTEH data management team has developed mobile-friendly applications that communicate field conditions in near real-time. Our Rapid Assessment Technique (RAT) and Shoreline Cleanup Assessment Technique (SCAT) tools are derived to support decision making for shoreline cleanup and provide a collaborative, consensus-building approach to data collection. Field teams provide geo-referenced site data with photographs and can identify sensitive resources and support operations by evaluating and prioritizing cleanup efforts.
During a response, our assessment teams perform the following:
Develop RAT/SCAT Plans
Conduct reconnaissance surveys
Evaluate and document shoreline type and oiling
Identify and document environmental and socio-economic sensitive resources
Develop treatment recommendations and endpoints in partnership with regulatory agencies
Provide operational support and track progress
Conduct post-cleanup inspections with agency consensus for site closeout
Whether for readiness, response, or recovery, our team of experts uses their skills and experience to help protect people, communities, and the environment.
