NOAA Scientific Support Coordinators "Elizabeth Jones"
coordinate scientific information and provide critical information to the FOSC. A multidisciplinary team of ERD scientists, including oceanographers, modelers, biologists, chemists, and geologists, are based in Seattle and support the SSCs during spill events, as well as in drills, exercises, and contingency planning. ERD SSCs are strategically located around the country, often within U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) offices, providing local services to a range of users in public and private sectors. |

Definition
The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (33 U.S.C. 2701-2761) amended the Clean Water Act and addressed the wide range of problems associated with preventing, responding to, and paying for oil pollution incidents in navigable waters of the United States. It created a comprehensive prevention, response, liability, and compensation regime to deal with vessel- and facility-caused oil pollution to U.S. navigable waters. OPA greatly increased federal oversight of maritime oil transportation, while providing greater environmental safeguards by:
- Setting new requirements for vessel construction and crew licensing and manning,
- Mandating contingency planning,
- Enhancing federal response capability,
- Broadening enforcement authority,
- Increasing penalties,
- Creating new research and development programs,
- Increasing potential liabilities, and
- Significantly broadening financial responsibility requirements

| Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA) |
|
Definition
| Clean Water Act (CWA), 33 U.S.C. §§ 1251-1387 The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, commonly known as the Clean Water Act, is the most comprehensive federal statute concerning water pollution. It establishes a complex regulatory scheme administered by federal agencies and by the states, the goal of which is to eliminate the pollution of the waters of the United States. Under the Act, the most commonly prosecuted crime is the discharge of a pollutant into the waters of the United States without a permit or in violation of the terms of a permit. The CWA also criminalizes the discharge of dredged or fill material into wetlands except in compliance with a permit, and makes criminally enforceable the limits on the discharges of certain pollutants into publicly owned sewer systems. When violations are committed knowingly, they are felonies. When violations are committed negligently, the are misdemeanors |
