This report covers an investigation of the state of the art of methods available to store and/or dispose of recovered oil and other hazardous chemicals which are the result of a discharge into United States inland and coastal waters. It includes the work accomplished by other organizations, both industry and government. The report also describes the kinds of materials which likely will be recovered and discusses alternative techniques/systems for storage and disposal. Additionally, it discusses the areas of the Ultimate Disposal Problem which require research and development. It places particular emphasis on the need to establish the most cost effective and environmentally suitable Ultimate Disposal System to satisfy the Coast Guard's needs.
