This report describes the Shoreline In Situ Treatment Library, which represents part of a study conducted by the American Petroleum Institute (API) to improve the knowledge and understanding of shoreline sediment mixing and relocation techniques. The objective of the study is to provide the following tools:
1 Shoreline In Situ Treatment Library: an online library containing academic, scientific, technical, and operational literature, including links to electronic documents, where available;
2 Shoreline In Situ Treatment Fact Sheet: a non-academic educational guide, providing an overview of in situ treatment and Oil Particulate Aggregate (OPA) formation for training and planning; and
3 Shoreline In Situ Treatment Job Aid: a non-academic operations tool for use during a response by Operations, the Environmental Unit (EU), and Shoreline Cleanup Assessment Technique (SCAT) teams for in situ treatment planning and operations, and to demonstrate to agencies how effectiveness and effects would be monitored.
This report describes item 1 , the In Situ Treatment Library, which is intended to locate and make available documents relevant to shoreline in situ (sediment mixing and relocation) treatment techniques.
