The Minerals Management Service (MMS), U.S. Department
of Interior, is designated as the lead agency for in
situ burn research in the Oil Pollution Research and
Technology Plan prepared under the authority of Title
VII of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA-90). In
response to MMS's continuing effort to ensure the
relevance of their research program to the needs of the
user community, a workshop on in situ burning of oil
spills was hosted by MMS in 1994 to present the state of
the knowledge and identify research needs.' Since that
time, significant advances in the acceptance and
application of in situ burning as an oil spill
mitigation method have been made, in part as a result of
the MMS-funded research program. As a result of
widespread preapproval of in situ burning and advances
in the technology, MMS hosted this follow-on workshop to
update the state of knowledge and the research needs of
the user community. The goals of the In Situ Burning of
Oil Spills Workshop were: 1. To present the state of
knowledge to decision makers from local, state and
federal agencies, responders, environmentalists,
academia, industry and the user community. 2. To
prioritize research and information needs to support
decisions on the use of iM situ burning of oil spills.
Papers were presented reviewing the state of in situ
burning of oil spills technology. The workshop
attendees were invited to participate in two breakout
discussion panesl to develop research needs. One
focused on environmental and human health issues and the
other on operations issues. This Proceedings is the
official transmittal of the workshop presentations and
the research needs developed by the panels.
