3. Key Decisions and Procedures:

NAME OF INCIDENT: MC-20 Taylor Energy Response

OPERATIONAL PERIOD: Unified Command will utilize a 3-month quarterly operational period.

FUNCTIONS: Oil Spill Response/Sheen Source Control

RESPONSIBLE PARTY (RP) (RP defined in Title 33 USC 2701(32)): Taylor Energy Company (TEC)

UNIFIED COMMAND ORGANIZATIONS: USCG (FOSC), TEC (RP)

ASSISTING & COOPERATING AGENCIES: BSEE, NOAA, LOSCO

ORGANIZATION: (Consider Shift Work)

• AGENCY EXECUTIVE(S): CG5RI, USCG D8• INCIDENT/UNIFIED COMMAND: USCG - CAPT Kristi Luttrell, TEC - Mr. Will Pecue• COMMAND STAFF/GENERAL STAFF (consider assistants): UC will make time-phased decisions about which

Incident Management Team (IMT) positions will be staffed physically or virtually. See ICS 207 for positions.

PREVIOUS NOTICES & ORDERS: All previous FOSC notices and orders remain in effect until canceled or amended by the FOSC.

AUTHORITY & JURISDICTION: Agencies participating in the Unified Command do not give up their authority or jurisdiction.

USCG- The National Contingency Plan (NCP) contained in Title 40 CFR Part 300 designates the USCG as the Federal On-Scene Coordinator (FOSC) for oil spills in the Coastal Zone. The NCP also specifies the FOSC’s authority to effect response actions to protect people, property and the environment. The ongoing oil spill emanating from the RP’s MC-20 site is occurring in waters contained within the scope of the NCP. The Coast Guard FOSC for the impacted area is the Captain of the Port and Sector Commander located in New Orleans, LA. The FOSC has access to the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund to respond to the ongoing spill.

BSEE- BSEE executes its authorities under the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA) AND THE Oil Pollution Act (OPA) to assist the FOSC by overseeing and, when necessary, directing measures to abate sources of pollution from regulated offshore facilities to ensure minimal release of oil, and to prevent unwarranted shutdown of unaffected production and pipeline systems. In addition, under the provisions outlined in Title 40 CFR Part 300.170, BSEE has identified certain ICS source control positions that it could fill within an IMT during oil spills. Additional details on the BSEE-USCG relationship during oil pollution response can be found in the BSEE/USCG MOA: OCS-03: Oil Discharge Planning. The ongoing spill from the MC-20 TEC site falls within the boundaries of the BSEE Gulf of Mexico Region Boundaries.

LOSCO - The Louisiana Oil Spill Coordinator's Office is participating in the Command Staff as the State On-scene Coordinator in an adivsory capacity to the Federal On-scene Coordinator. If oil threatens to impact Louisiana State waters they will shift to an Incident Commander in the Unified Command.

ICS MEETING REPRESENTATION: All participants will be as indicated on the ICS-230 Meeting Schedule.

UC DECISION DOCUMENTATION: All binding decisions will be documented via a decision memo signed by the Unified Commanders. A copy of all recorded UC sessions will be provided to the Documentation Unit. The RP will undertake the role of generating the associated transcript and submitting same transcript to the Documentation Unit for review and verification. Any edits or corrections shall be forwarded by email to Denise Mustin ([email protected]) with cc made to the FOSC, RPIC, and Deputy ICs.

Updated ICS documents from the Planning Cycle conducted on November 6 - 9, 2018.

UC FACILITIES: UC facilities will be established according to the needs of the response. UC meetings will be held in alternating sites. One staging area is currently being used to store three containment domes in Amelia at Danos. Overflights are currently conducted out of Southern Seaplane in Harvey, LA.

IMT PROCEDURES FUNCTION: IMT will be comprised of USCG, BSEE, TEC, and NOAA personnel. The USCG Incident Management Handbook (IMH) and BSEE Source Control Position Job Aids, found at the following web site: https://www.bsee.gov/what-we-do/oil-spill-preparedness/incident-response will be used by all UC personnel in the execution of their job responsibilities within the IMT. All IMT personnel shall promptly respond to phone calls/emails/notes from other IMT members.

a. UC meeting agenda is distributed by USCG no later than 2 weeks in advance of UC meeting. Should Taylor haveedits, it will respond within 2 business days (repeated as needed, with the objective to having the final agendaestablished no later than one week prior to the UC meeting.

b. UC agenda items are listed in the order of: old business, new business, recap of new action items, and scheduling fornext meetings.

c. Transparency of the UC activities/decisions/action items is critical to protecting and maintaining the integrity of theprocess.

d. Breaks are permitted as needed to allow attorney/client discussion. IC’s shall have complete discretion to ask for thisbreak in all meetings at any time.

e. Non-participating and participating attendees to the UC meetings and other related meetings are determined by and atthe discretion of the UC. If there is a room capacity limit for the meeting venue, the UC will determine the audience.

f. Everyone comes fully prepared and informed for the agenda item discussion.

g. A proposed schedule which follows should be reviewed at each quarterly workshop: IAP sessions quarterly, generalCommand and General Staff meetings monthly, Planning Section meeting bi-weekly, all other Sections as needed, butno less than quarterly.

h. All decisions and action items agreed to by the IC's must be fair, productive, and practical.

i. The approximately fourteen-year record of the MC20 response may inform and be used to support response decisionsand agreed action items. Decisions going forward are not to be made "in a vacuum".

j. Action items are reviewed at the end of the meeting with target dates set for closure.

k. If any party (Govt/TEC) knows it will not meet an action item deadline, it will promptly communicate to the other partywith an option of (receiving party) postponing further UC engagement util the task has been completed.

l. All attempts shall be made to achieve a joint statement.

m. UC requests approval of any ICS-213RR over $10,000.

UC FUNCTIONALITY: IMT will adhere to USCG Planning "P". IAPs will be routed to UC for approval and signature. Supporting and Operational Plans will be routed to UC for approval and signature.

Unified Command (UC) meetings are to be set four weeks in advance. USCG forwards proposed date to Taylor's IC (cc to Denise Mustin) with Taylor to respond within 2 business days. Should Taylor have to propose an alternate date, USCG will respond within 2 business days (repeated as needed). Whenever possible, the meetings will be scheduled to accomodate the IC's other commitments.

4. Priorities:

OVERALL RESPONSE PRIORITIES:

1. Safety2. Incident Stabilization3. Environmental Protection4. Information Management/Situational Awareness

OPERATIONAL PRIORITIES:

1. Sheen Source Location2. Well Bay Area.3. Area South of Jacket

5. Limitation and Constraints:

FINANCIAL: This is a Responsible Party funded response. The Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund (OSLTF) is available to fund response actions as needed. OSLTF may be used to fund federal, state, or tribal agency travel and actions in support of this response. The USCG will seek reimbursement of the OSLTF from the RP for these expenses. The OSLTF may also be used to fund resources that the FOSC determines are necessary for securing the source of the spill.

LOGISTICAL: The remote location of the MC-20 response site requires that resource mobilization, operations, and logistics need to be carefully planned.

OPERATIONAL/SAFETY/ENVIRONMENTAL: Safety is of the utmost importance while conducting response ops offshore. Some operations may require deploying personnel subsurface. The water depth at the site is 420'; subsurface visibility is poor. A large erosion pit has evolved beneath portions of the Jacket structure. There are oil and gas releases from the ocean floor at the erosion pit.

RESOURCES: Traditional well intervention equipment may be limited in its application due to seafloor conditions as described below. Non-traditional approaches may be required.

GEOGRAPHY/TERRAIN: The seafloor at the MC-20 response site is characterized as porous, unconsolidated sediments. The fallen Jacket structure remains within the MC-20 lease which presents potential hazard to certain operations. Hazards will need to be assessed during each phase of operation. A large erosion pit has been identified in the vicinity of the Jacket. An oil and gas release has been identified as emanating from the erosion pit.
