(months)Special Considerations SZ-19-01 Delight Lake Stream/McCarty Lagoon Nearshore waters in the general area of:
Free-oil Recovery-Shallow Water Maximize free-oil recovery in the offshore & nearshore environment of Delight Lake Stream depending on spill location and trajectory. Deploy free-oil recovery strike teams upwind and up current of Delight Lake Stream. Use aerial surveillance to locate incoming slicks. Deploy multiple free-oil recovery strike teams as required to maximize interception of oil before it impacts sensitive areas. Seward Via marine waters Chart 16682-1 Same as SZ-19-02 Vessel master should have local knowledge. REPORT any cultural resources found during operations to FOSC Historic Properties Specialist. Site surveyed: 9/06/02 GRS WG SZ-19-02 Delight Lake Stream/McCarty Lagoon
Exclusion with Gate Exclude oil from entering Delight Lake Stream and McCarty Lagoon. Establish a gate to provide access to McCarty Lagoon. Transport equipment by vessel (class 3/4) from Seward. Deploy anchors and boom with skiffs (class 6) Place tidal-seal boom on the north end of the array and protected-water boom
McCarty Lagoon. Establish boom angle to deflect oil to the north beach. Tend throughout the tide.

Contact the Corporation as soon as possible for permitting to conduct shore-side activities. Conducting any on-shore activity in the surrounding area beyond the scope of this document requires the express consent of the Port Graham Village Corporation. The beach outside McCarty Lagoon should be a priority for shoreline clean-up. Biting insects may present a response hazard.

Exclusion Exclude oil from entering Delight Lake/McCarty Lagoon. Transport equipment by vessel (class 2/3/4) from Seward. Deploy anchors and boom with skiffs (class 6) Place tidal-seal boom and calm-water boom along the eddy line created by the current entering the lagoon. Tend throughout the tide.
