A table top exercise will be conducted on Thursday afternoon of the 4-day class. You may register for the table top exercise only. Attendees in this Thursday afternoon only session will participate in a less formal, facilitated tabletop discussion based on an oil spill scenario of crude oil into the Columbia River above Bonneville Dam. First responders and other responding agencies to a crude oil spill on the Columbia are encouraged to participate in the discussion, which will explore: first actions by responders, which agencies will be responding and in what order, notifications, jurisdictional issues, addressing concerns about the dams, migrating fish, tourists, environment, etc. This will also be a great opportunity for networking between responders, and becoming familiar with agencies and their response capabilities and limitations.
Course Location
The course will be held at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Bonneville Lock and Dam facility, near the town of Cascade Locks, Oregon.

Before ERTP issues final approval to deliver any course and/or any EPA offices incurring expenses for the training event (including but not limited to EPA staff travel TA’s and/or ERTP training contractor expenses incurred), all EPA mandatory pre-approvals must all be met. The pre-approvals include (but are not limited to) the following:
Training location’s availability;
COVID status and/or other COVID Guidelines in effect for the location, as well as staff;
- Agency limitations, scrutiny, and approvals of ‘Conference Spending Requirements (known as the “5170”)’ for the specific training course(s) scheduled delivery timeframe;
- Weather (blizzard, hurricane, etc);
- Contractual number of available course training slots;
- EPA training location staff having priority registration over all other registrations; and/or
- Hosting site Training Coordinator approval.
In the event a course is subsequently postponed or canceled, or notification of registration cancellation is received, all EPA travel arrangements (airline/car rental/hotel) should be canceled in a timely manner. Registered students will receive a notification via email if/when a course is postponed and/or cancelled.
