Subject:Grant Agreement #28-806 with the California Department of Fish and Game
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Response Organizations (OSRO) are available to provide response and clean-up of oil spills
throughout the State. However, in certain remote locations, the OSRO’s have difficulty or
are unable to pre-stage response equipment. To address this problem, the Office of Spill
Prevention and Response (OSPR) has established a grant program that will allow local
government agencies funding to purchase spill response equipment, so they can initiate a
first response prior to the OSRO’s arrival.
Approval of Grant Agreement #28-806 will provide funding to the County’s Hazardous
Material Program to purchase oil spill response equipment to be staged in potentially high
risk waters within Contra Costa County jurisdiction, through October 31, 2009. The County
is agreeing to indemnify and hold harmless the State for claims arising out of County’s
performance under this Agreement.
