The Southeast Alaska Area Contingency Plan (SEAK ACP) represents a coordinated and cooperative effort by government agencies. This document contains information applicable to pollution response within the Southeast Alaska Captain of the Port (COTP) Zone. The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) and the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) have written this Area Contingency Plan jointly. It meets the pollution response contingency planning requirements under the National Contingency Plan (NCP) and the Alaska Regional Contingency Plan (RCP) applicable to the State and Federal government. 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 Southeast Alaska state and federal On-Scene Coordinators seek participation from interested parties in the Southeast Alaska Area Committee in our response preparedness efforts. If you would like to participate in the Area Committee, please contact the Southeast Alaska Area Secretary, LT Lindsay Wheeler or Julie Liford-Parker, DEC AK Area Planner.
