Admiralty Inlet/Hood Canal

Introductory pages, Chapters 1-4, and the Appendices of the Admiralty Inlet/ Hood Canal GRP have been updated with a new version date of March 2003. This version includes new strategy maps produced in ArcView that are based on a new page-grid. There is no overlap between pages with the new page-grid.

Other Changes in the New Version

Strategy numbering has been changed in the new version for Admiralty Inlet and Hood Canal, and the prefix for Admiralty Inlet strategies has been changed from A to AI. The strategies are the same as the June 2001 version, with one exception. Strategies HC-1 (A-22) and HC-2 (A-22a) were moved from the Admiralty Inlet strategies to the Hood Canal strategies due to the new page grid.

The booming strategy priority tables have also been updated, and were produced using a new process. The new process uses specific “Potential Spill Origin” sites, and prioritizes deployment of strategies based on trajectory modeling that predicts how long it will take for the oil to impact sensitive resources. Priority of strategy deployment is also based on relative sensitivity of the resources and strategy complexity. A separate priority table was produced for each Potential Spill Origin. When a spill occurs, strategies should be deployed using the priority table for the Potential Spill Origin closest to the actual spill origin.

The updated chapters are available below as Adobe Acrobat pdf files. A single file is available for users with a high-speed connection. For slower connections, three separate files are also available. GRP users with old versions should replace all pages in the introduction, Chapters 1-4, and Appendices with the March 2003 version.
