Canadian Coast GuardArctic Response Strategy
EPPR
November 2009
2
•Items of significant improvement– Better understanding of Arctic Conditions
through more detailed Area Analysis– Better understanding of existing Prevention
practices– Better definition of other governments
departments responsibilities/limitations– Completion of area plans provided a clearer
assessment of local priorities/resources at risk
Building from Initial ARS
3
Offshore response capacity
– Limited to certain geographic zones
– Response times dependent upon location and weather variables
– Arctic Ship Packs aboard CCG Ships in Arctic waters

Framework
• Design Considerations
• Framework– First Response (OHF’s/Shipping)
– Community Packs– RAT 150T (Hay River)
– Delta 1000T (Churchill, Iqaluit, Tuktoyaktuk)
– Delta 8000T (Cascaded from Regional and National Inventories)
– 8000T or Greater (Cascaded from National Inventories)

First Response
• Parameters– Initial spill, source control, minor recovery,
immediate resources at risk– 0-1T volume– 0-48 hour response– Community, OHF and Shipping partnership
with CCG required
8
Rapid Air Transportable 150T
• Parameters– Palletized equipment, access to 39 of 47
communities, recovery, protection storage, shoreline cleanup, decon suite
– 1-150T volume– 48-96 hours– CCG dedicated and maintained
9
Delta 1000T Depots
• Locations– Churchill, Iqaluit, Tuktoyaktuk
• Parameters– Supplement RAT 150T– Up to 1000T volume– Spill circumstances determine timeframes
10
Delta 8000T (Regional/National)
• Parameters– Design is currently under development in light
of Regionally stated Levels of Service.– Provision of this capability is highly dependent
upon spill circumstances and may require National Support.
11
8000T or Greater
• The cumulative National Levels of Service currently speaks to this potential requirement.
• This capability requires National Levels of Service Review consideration.

Benefits
•Provides a clearer more defined role including partnerships
•Addresses the vast majority of incident types and volumes
•Considers the results of the Area analyses
•Provides for more accurate financial information
