Description
The Oil Spill Response Equipment Grant Program is administered by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Office of Spill Prevention and Response (OSPR). It provides funding to Native American Tribal governments, counties, cities, and special districts throughout California to pre-position response equipment that can help protect their economic resources in the event of an oil spill.
The program focuses on preparedness: placing response equipment before an incident occurs so that resources are positioned before they are needed. OSPR supports the program with an application, frequently asked questions, an administrative procedures guide, a response equipment location map, and an equipment contact list.
