The feasibility of oil spill dispersant application in the southern Beaufort Sea / P.B. Hildebrand, A.A. Allen, Dames and Moore consulting engineers, Toronto, Ontario, C.W. Ross, Department of Fisheries... : En46-3/77-16E-PDF
"This study adresses the feasibility of dispersant application in the Southern Beaufort Sea. A review of application techniques and physical environments is presented, and on the basis of this review, three application platforms appear to be worthy of further study: a heavy-lift helicopter, such as the Sikorsky S-64, the Canadair CL-215, and the Lockheed L-1 00-30. Dispersants were analyzed for their applicability to the Arctic environment and on this basis, it is recommended that concentrate dispersants be examined further. A cost and time analysis of using dispersants in the Southern Beaufort Sea is performed. Under "best-case" conditions the total cost to disperse 20,000 m3 of oil is calculated to be $10,000,000 over an 8 -day operational period. These costs relate only to dispersant purchase, shipping and application, and do not include manpower or ancillary support, such as shelter, food, waste disposal and recovery of empty drums."--Abstract, page ii.
