What is the function of the Barge Addendum (CG-2692A)?

The Barge Addendum (CG-2692A) is specifically designed to accompany the CG-2692 form, which is the main incident report used for pollution response situations involving barges. This addendum provides additional information that is pertinent to the assessment of pollution incidents specifically related to barge operations.

Submitting the Barge Addendum with the CG-2692 is essential because it ensures that all relevant data and details related to the barge's operations and the circumstances surrounding the incident are documented properly. This full context is critical for responders and investigators in evaluating the situation effectively and making informed decisions regarding the response and remediation processes.

The other options do not accurately represent the role of the Barge Addendum. It is not a standalone report, nor does it serve as a request for additional investigative support, nor does it replace the CG-2692 form. Instead, it complements the CG-2692 by providing specific details necessary for addressing barge-related pollution incidents.
