The Office of Spill Prevention and Response partners with leaders from California’s numerous sovereign tribal governments, 58 counties, more than 400 cities and towns, and countless port, harbor and special districts to outline its mission of providing the best achievable protection of California’s natural resources. Together, we are working to prevent, prepare for, and respond to spills of oil and other deleterious materials, and restore and enhance affected resources. Local Oil Spill Response Equipment Grant Program The mission of the Local Oil Spill Response Equipment Grant Program is to provide funding to Native American tribal governments, counties, cities, and special districts in order to pre-position response equipment to protect their economic resources in the event of an oil spill. OSPR is currently accepting grant applications from jurisdictions throughout California.
