Emergency Response for Water Involved Petroleum Spills
What does it mean that Enviro Care is a USCG-certified OSRO, and why does that matter?
OSRO stands for Oil Spill Response Organization — a classification the U.S. Coast Guard issues to companies that have demonstrated they have the equipment, trained personnel, and response capability to handle oil spills in and around navigable waters. Enviro Care holds USCG OSRO certification (OSRO #605), which means our water-spill response has been vetted against federal standards rather than just claimed. That matters because water-involved petroleum spills move and spread differently than spills on land — oil can travel for miles across a lake or river surface, threaten birds and aquatic life, and require boats, containment boom, and absorbent boom rather than standard land-based equipment. Having OSRO status also lets us mobilize faster and coordinate directly with regulatory authorities, since the certification itself signals we already meet their response-capability requirements.
The release of large volumes of chemicals and petroleum – either refined or crude – into water creates one of the toughest cleanup jobs for a response contractor.
Enviro Care has extensive experience in large, water-involved chemical, crude oil or gas spill cleanups nationwide. Our stock of equipment stands ready for any water event, including boats and personal flotation devices. For accessibility we have mobile facilities, which can be used in decontaminating birds and other wildlife species. Our response trucks and trailers are stocked with at least a half-mile of containment boom and a half-mile of absorbent boom at all times. In addition, we have frac tanks, liquid vacuum tanks, absorbents, portable lighting systems, roll-off boxes and all levels of personal protective gear.
We are qualified to act as Incident Commander on large water cleanup projects, having done so many times. Our Mobile Command Center affords us a working platform that combines the office facilities and the communications technology needed for coordinating the efforts of contractors, disposal sites, regulatory authorities and news reporters. Our experts in water response have also assisted other prime contractors in cleaning up spills located far from our service area, furnishing them with equipment and crews.
Enviro Care is certified by the United States Coast Guard as an OSRO (Oil Spill Response Organization) contractor. Our OSRO number is #605.
