SMART is a new program, but has already been tested successfully. SMART was used in several dispersant applications in the Gulf of Mexico, and during the in-situ burning operations of the New Carissa at Coos Bay, Oregon. The field use of SMART shows that it is a feasible program that can contribute to the overall goal of successful spill response.

Monitor at Coos Bay This photo shows a SMART monitor with a portable instrument on the bluff overlooking the New Carissa shortly before the burn began.
