The OSF is funded by a surcharge on oil moving through the State’s oil terminals, but it also relies on recovering costs from the parties responsible for the spills DEC cleans up.

Technical Support:

SRCS provides technical assistance to responders on the best technology to address contaminated soil and groundwater following the release of petroleum or hazardous substances. Some large or complex projects are transferred to SRCS for staff to manage directly. Technical assessment of these cleanups requires understanding of hydrogeology, fate and transport of hazardous chemicals, and the use of various remedial technologies.

Emergency Response:

SRCS also coordinates with DEC’s Emergency Management Unit to ensure that Spill Responders are prepared to respond to emergencies across the state. This includes providing appropriate training and ensuring necessary equipment is provided.
