Deepwater Horizon MC252 response operations data from the Environmental Response Management Application (ERMA) containing burn locations and related data collected between April 28th to August 3rd, 2010 during the DWH response in the Northern Gulf of Mexico (NCEI Accession 0163800)

This Archival Information Package (AIP) contains Environmental Resource Management Application (ERMA) GIS layers that represent burn locations in response to the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. During the MC 252 Deepwater Horizon response, the controlled in-situ burn group conducted 411 controlled burns between April 28th and August 3rd 2010. These burns were authorized within the specified and approved CISB Burn Area; typically within 3 to 8 miles of the Mississippi Canyon 252 oil spill source. The data shows the locations and estimated volume of oil for each burn for the duration of the DWH Response. However, not every burn has complete information like location or burn volume as some data was not captured. Furthermore, a few burns are not displayed on the map due to insufficient lat/long records. These data were used as part of the Programmatic Damage Assessment and Restoration Plan (PDARP).
