There is an environment concern about the possibility of sinking residues from in-situ burns (ISBs), leading to the potential for damage to the aquatic bottom zone. The objective of the study presented in this publication was to start the process of establishing operational tools and procedures for dealing with such non-buoyant burn residues. There were two tasks: develop protocols for identifying ISB residues likely to sink, and evaluate options for dealing with those residues in the field.
