Environmental Compliance Annual Results

The Pacific OCS Region tracks environmental compliance rates for on-going operations and environmental mitigation compliance rates for individual mitigations placed on various oil and gas projects and activities.

Environmental Compliance Rates for On-going Operations

Environmental compliance rates for on-going operations on the Pacific OCS Region’s 23 oil & gas facilities are tracked through a cooperative inspection approach between District Inspectors and Pacific Region scientists. Data from office and field inspections provide information on compliance rates and violation levels of individual OCS facilities.

Pacific Region Facilities 23
Facilities Inspected (%) 100
Facilities with Violations 5
Compliance Rate for Facilities Inspected (%) 78
Facilities with Significant Violations 0
Compliance Rate for No Significant Violations (%) 100
   
Total Environmental Inspections Inspectors: 240
Liaisons: 64
Total Environmental Violations 7
Environmental Inspection Compliance Rate (%) 98

Mitigation Compliance & Effectiveness Rates

Compliance and effectiveness rates for environmental mitigations placed on Pacific Region projects are tracked on an annual basis. Information is collected by OCS oil and gas activity type regarding the project mitigations, mitigations inspected, and the rates of compliance and effectiveness. Results for FY 2004 yielded a 100% compliance rate for those mitigations inspected and a 96% effectiveness rate for those environmental mitigations designed to protect coastal and marine resources. In FY 2005, there were no new projects requiring mitigation, so there are no compliance and effectiveness rates for that year.
