2-045 -A Site Strategy- Disappointment Slough 2-045 -A <br /> County and Thomas Guide Location NOAA CHART Latitude N Longitude W <br /> SF Bay and Delt San Joaquin 18661 SACRAMENTO/SAN JOAQUIN RIVER 38 02.4 121 28.9 <br /> CONCERNS and ADVICE to RESPONDERS: Last page update: <br /> Concern here is protecting the many marshy channel islands and sensitive plants found there from oiling. The strategies <br /> are designed to keep oil from entering this channel by exclusion/collection booming. Responders should beware that <br /> sensitive plants are common here, and should avoid trampling vegetation. Also avoid tramping oil into sediments. <br /> HAZARDS and RESTRICTIONS: <br /> Aerial traffic beware of high wires. Poison Oak. Slips trips and falls on levee riprap. Beware of shallows and snags in side <br /> channels. <br /> SITE STRATEGIES <br /> Strategy 2-045.1 Objective: Exclude/Contain booming the slough mouth near the Ship Channel) at west end <br /> Set harbor boom across channels at slough mouth. Anchor one boom end near west side riprap levee (Empire <br /> Tract) 800 ft across the slough on an upstream diagonal to the tip of Fern Island. Anchor a second boom length <br /> from Fern Island to mid-channel berm island and then on to the tip of Rindge Tract(500ft). Leave trailing boom <br /> lengths for a tidal seal. Back with sorbent boom. <br /> Strategy 2-045.2 Objective: Exclude/Contain booming at Honker Cut and Bishop Cut. <br /> Honker Cut: At the intersection of Honker Cut and Disappointment Slough anchor one end of 4X4+ boom (200) <br /> at King Island levee and the other at Empire Tract, leaving trailing boom ends for tidal seal. This strategy can be <br /> deployed nearer 8 Mile Road if circumstances are favorable. Site may be appropriate for Shore-Side Skimming. <br /> Bishop Cut: At the intersection of Bishop Cut and Disappointment Slough anchor one end of 4X4 boom (200) at <br /> Bishop Tract levee and the other at King Island leaving trailing boom ends for tidal seal. This strategy can be <br /> deployed nearer 8 Mile Road if circumstances are favorable. Site may be appropriate for Shore-Side Skimming. <br /> Table of Response Resources <br /> strategy harbor swamp Other sorb Anchoring Boom Skiffs Skimmers Special Equipment or comment staff Staff <br /> number boom boom boom type boom no Woe and aear boat punts No Type No and kinds deploy tend <br /> 2-045.1 1300 1500 5 2/25& 2 <br /> 3/15/DANFORTH <br /> 2-045.2 0 400 2 2/15lb/danfort4 0 1 2 <br /> LOGISTICS <br /> DIRECTIONS:to site(by land and/or by water,to nearest launch ramp and are access permits required.) <br /> Key access to deployment is by boat. Site is water accessible from Stockton Deep Water Channel north at G 14 and from <br /> marinas on adjacent islands. Key land access is from private levee roads Rindge and Empire Tracts via 8-mile Rd from 1-5. <br /> This site extends about 7 miles from its mouth behind north Fern Island (north of Ward Cut)easterly to 1-5, and includes the <br /> side channels Honker and Bishop Cuts. <br /> LAND ACCESS: LEVEE ROADS good unless wet <br /> WATER LOGISTICS: depth problems only near shore <br /> Limitations:depth,obstruction <br /> Launching, Loading, Docking Marina service and boat launch are available at Herman & Helen's at end of 8-mile Rd, <br /> and Services Available: Paradise Point Marina at Bishop Cut, and also at Honker Cut. <br /> FACILITIES,STAGING AREAS,POSSIBLE FIELD POSTS AND EQUIPMENT AVAILABLE: <br /> Deployment possible from nearby levees.Also from nearby marinas consider using the end of 8-mile Rd as a major <br /> deployment site for this section of the Delta. Rental boats, restaurants, water, power, gas, marine repair and some camping <br /> is available at nearby marina/resorts. <br /> COMMUNICATIONS PROBLEMS: none known <br /> ADDITIONAL OPERATIONAL COMMENTS: <br /> ACP 2-SF Bay&Delta 9850.1 -26 October 1,2014 <br />
