Regional Response Team 8 (RRT-8) is
the federal component of the National Response System for the states of
Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming. RRT-8 is made
up of representatives of twelve federal departments and agencies, plus each of
the six states listed above and a Tribal representative. It is co-chaired by a
representative from the Environmental Protection Agency, Region 8 and a
representative for the United States Coast Guard.
RRT-8 is a planning, policy, and coordinating body which does not respond
directly to the scene of an oil spill or hazardous substance release. It
provides assistance as requested to the On-Scene Coordinator during an
incident. For a thorough description of both the National Response System and
the responsibilities of the Regional Response Team, please visit the National
Response Team's web site.
This web site will be updated regularly. Our primary concern is to give timely,
accurate information to all interested parties.
