Here are reports describing oil and chemical spill responses in which NOAA's Office of Response and Restoration (OR&R) participated from October 1992 through September 1999. They contain incident summaries, descriptions of the behavior of spilled material, discussions of countermeasures and mitigation measures applied, and descriptions of special issues.

You also can find this information on IncidentNews.noaa.gov, a site maintained by OR&R, and in the Oil Spill Case Histories [PDF, 1.7 MB] document, which summarizes responses to significant U.S. and international spills that occurred from 1967 through 1991.

These reports are PDF (Portable Document Format) files. To view these files, you'll need the Adobe Reader. When one of the PDFs is displayed in Adobe Reader, you can navigate through the reports in two ways: you can use the Bookmarks in the left section of Adobe Reader, or you can click on table of contents entries and section headings to move between the table of contents and individual sections.
