Shoreline Cleanup Assessment Technique (SCAT) and Shoreline Response Programs (SRP) are more than just the assessment of shorelines and shoreline oiling conditions using the SCAT process. Depending on the incident and location a SRP can involve an evaluation of environmental, cultural and economic considerations, the development of treatment endpoints and clean up recommendations, treatment completion approvals, interactions with and tracking of Operations, and the organization and management of the data collected for the program. POLARIS can develop and execute a complete and robust SRP and SCAT program for clients by providing trained and experienced individuals for all aspects of the program, including management, SCAT field teams, SCAT-operational liaisons, data management, and logistics. Our personnel have been pivotal in the development and continual refinement of the SCAT process over the last 25 years, including recent developments in mobile app field data collection and database/GIS data management. POLARIS also provides SCAT training where the SCAT standardized methodology for the documentation and description of oiled shorelines is emphasized in the classroom and during field exercises.
