The Objective of a SCAT
Survey/Program
The primary purpose of SCAT (Shoreline Cleanup Assessment Technique) is to provide:
DECISION SUPPORT FOR SHORELINE TREATMENT
PLANNING AND RESPONSE OPERATIONS from Day 1 to the
LAST INSPECTION
![Page 11: Deepwater Horizon MC 252 Oil Spill · Deepwater Horizon MC 252 Governing law is the Oil Pollution Acti (OPA) Governor named State Response Lead Agencies: •Mississippi Department](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051217/6005e09af8296f56e026f725/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Key Components of a SCAT
Survey/Program
Systematic data collection (Forms based on Observations)
Identification of resources (physical, ecological, cultural, human use) affected by the spill (oil + operations)
Identification of factors that may assist or constrain operations
Treatment recommendations
![Page 12: Deepwater Horizon MC 252 Oil Spill · Deepwater Horizon MC 252 Governing law is the Oil Pollution Acti (OPA) Governor named State Response Lead Agencies: •Mississippi Department](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051217/6005e09af8296f56e026f725/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The Five SCAT Principles A systematic survey of all shorelines in the
affected area
Division of the coast into segments
Use of a standard set of terms and definitions for documentation
A team of interagency personnel to represent land ownership, land use, management or trustee interests.
Provides management and operational support until all treatment activities and inspections have been completed.
![Page 13: Deepwater Horizon MC 252 Oil Spill · Deepwater Horizon MC 252 Governing law is the Oil Pollution Acti (OPA) Governor named State Response Lead Agencies: •Mississippi Department](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051217/6005e09af8296f56e026f725/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The 3 Phases of a SCAT
Program
![Page 14: Deepwater Horizon MC 252 Oil Spill · Deepwater Horizon MC 252 Governing law is the Oil Pollution Acti (OPA) Governor named State Response Lead Agencies: •Mississippi Department](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051217/6005e09af8296f56e026f725/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
INITIAL PHASE - AERIAL SCAT
aerial observations provide the initial direction for operations
rapid data collection/turnaround
provides “big picture” – scales the problem
![Page 15: Deepwater Horizon MC 252 Oil Spill · Deepwater Horizon MC 252 Governing law is the Oil Pollution Acti (OPA) Governor named State Response Lead Agencies: •Mississippi Department](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051217/6005e09af8296f56e026f725/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
SECOND PHASE – GROUND SCAT
ground surveys provide detailed information and treatment recommendations
adjust need to stay ahead of shoreline operations
![Page 16: Deepwater Horizon MC 252 Oil Spill · Deepwater Horizon MC 252 Governing law is the Oil Pollution Acti (OPA) Governor named State Response Lead Agencies: •Mississippi Department](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051217/6005e09af8296f56e026f725/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
LATER PHASES
post-treatment ground surveys support the inspection, monitoring, and “sign-off” process
![Page 17: Deepwater Horizon MC 252 Oil Spill · Deepwater Horizon MC 252 Governing law is the Oil Pollution Acti (OPA) Governor named State Response Lead Agencies: •Mississippi Department](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051217/6005e09af8296f56e026f725/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Shoreline Segmentation
The shoreline is divided into working units called SEGMENTS within which the shoreline character is relatively homogeneous in terms of physical features and sediment type.
Each segment is given a unique location identifier and is surveyed.
![Page 18: Deepwater Horizon MC 252 Oil Spill · Deepwater Horizon MC 252 Governing law is the Oil Pollution Acti (OPA) Governor named State Response Lead Agencies: •Mississippi Department](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051217/6005e09af8296f56e026f725/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Shoreline Segmentation Segment lengths are small enough to
obtain adequate resolution and detail on the distribution of oil, but not so small that too much data are generated.
Segments are numbered based on an alpha-numeric numbering scheme with an alphabetical prefix (e.g., MSHR = Mississippi Harrison) followed by a number based on an alongshore sequence (MSHR-6).
![Page 19: Deepwater Horizon MC 252 Oil Spill · Deepwater Horizon MC 252 Governing law is the Oil Pollution Acti (OPA) Governor named State Response Lead Agencies: •Mississippi Department](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051217/6005e09af8296f56e026f725/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

STEP 2: Describe Shoreline Character within Segment
STEP 3: Describe Surface Oil• length of oiled shore within segment
• width of oiled band
• % distribution of oil in band
• thickness of oil cover
• describe oil character (If tar balls then # of tar balls)
