With the increased exposure to inland oil spills planning is not only mandated, but also critical to successful and safe operations. WRI has the experience and technology to create thorough Comprehensive Oil Spill Response Plans, Facility Response Plans, and Geographic Response Plans. GRP clients include BNSF, Montana Rail Link, Idaho DEQ, and EPA Region 10.

We use state-of-the-art GIS databasing, data-collection and the expertise that comes from years spent on the river to create response plans that are thorough and practical. To help control our costs, the WRI GIS team has developed an automation process that eliminates the need to touch data more than necessary.
