Alaska Inland Area

The Alaska Inland Area Contingency Plan (ACP) is an operational plan prepared by the Area Committee for, and in consultation with, the ADEC and USEPA responders responsible for its implementation. Plan content is intended to support the individuals that fill a response role and to achieve a coordinated and effective response to a pollution event. Additional references and tools to support a response linked within the ACP are available on the ADEC’s website. These references and tools provide valuable information used to support a response to an oil discharge or hazardous substance release anywhere in Alaska.

The Alaska Inland state and federal On-Scene Coordinators seek participation from interested parties in the Area Committee in our response preparedness efforts. If you would like to participate in the Area Committee, please contact , Mary Goolie, USEPA AK Area Planner, or Julie Liford-Parker, DEC AK Area Planner.
