Oil Spill Profiles

Certain oil spills have proven to be watershed events in the evolution of EPA's oil program, and the nation's emergency response infrastructure. Others provide valuable lessons that teach responders which parts of the system are working effectively, and how other parts can be improved. Several of these significant oil spills are listed and profiled here. We will extend this list over time to include other relevant spills.

If you know of a spill that highlights the effectiveness of the system, or that demonstrates where the system needs improvement, please let us know. We will review your suggestion and the available information on the spill to determine whether it should be included here.
