From page 1...
... This committee was asked by the USCG to review the Inland ERSP Prototype Calculator and associated quick-start guide for the software. The committee was to scientifically assess, and provide recommendations for improving ERSP methodologies; to inform oil spill planning and preparedness for the inland and nearshore environments; and to provide recommendations for new ERSP methodologies and guidelines, if any, for mechanical response systems deployed in inland and nearshore operating environments.

From page 2...
... The committee's deliberations and review were focused on the calculator's capabilities, review of appropriate standards and literature, and information provided during a series of public meetings and presentations, drawing on expertise from academic, governmental, and nongovernmental communities. In addition to a recorded presentation about the Inland ERSP Calculator that USCG presented at the International Oil Spill Conference in 2021, the committee was provided six files specific to the USCG Inland ERSP (i.e., Conceptual Model Report, Design Document, Quick-Start Guide, Verification and Validation Document, calculator software, and calculator source code)

From page 3...
... Summary and to be focused on evaluating a maximum recovery potential of the recovery system regardless of geography or scenario, the inputs related to the scenario and oil behavior should be limited to the minimum, similar to the BSEE ERSP Calculator, so calculation is truly focused on the recovery system, not the environment.
