NRC, now a US Ecology company, was founded in 1991 to support the compliance needs of customers following the enactment of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA 90), formalized to provide increased regulatory authority over navigable waters, outline response capabilities requirements and enforce stringent standards for the maritime transportation industry.
Today, we are the leading commercial OSRO and the only private contractor to hold MMPD, WCD1, WCD2 and WCD3 classifications from the United States Coast Guard, meeting federal oil spill response requirements in the Inland, Rivers/Canals and Ocean environments. We offer unparalleled marine and land response capabilities to customers in a variety of industries including Oil and Gas, Ports and Maritime Shipping, Industrial, Power Generation, Aviation and Rail, and Government and Military.
Fast, effective and compliant services to minimize environmental and operational impact.
24-HOUR EMERGENCY RESPONSE HOTLINE
As the nerve center of operations and primary Command Center for coordinating response activities, the IOC is the focal point for activation, documentation, tracking and mobilization of resources, manned 24/7/365 by seasoned Duty Officers and Response Coordinators.
Using a global resources database system, the IOC can quickly identify and dispatch emergency response and hazardous material resources from anywhere in the country and throughout international operating regions. This organizational structure and pool of available resources allows US Ecology to mount a massive response, as necessary, through the cascading of personnel and equipment to the site of the incident.
