Aleutians Geographic Response Strategies: East B Zone

The workgroup selected 20 sites from the list of candidate sites for GRS development. Of these sites 6 were adapted from the Selendang Ayu Grounding deployments. A survey team visited 7 sites around Unalaska and Dutch Harbor to develop the strategies with information collected on the ground. The remaining sites were developed using satellite and aerial imagery and charts and maps. The map shows the GRS selected sites, while the site selection matrix and site selection key summarize the resources at risk for each site. The site selection process took into consideration environmental sensitivity, risk of being impacted from a waterborne spill, and feasibility of successfully protecting the site with existing technology.
