Specific GRS for the North Slope have not been developed. The North Slope spill cooperative Alaska Clean Seas developed their ACS Technical manual and this provides response tactics and maps that are similar to the GRS that have been produced elsewhere. With the cooperation of ACS, we present this information from their Technical Manual.
