CSA International, Inc. (CSA) is pleased to announce that it has
appointed Gordon Stevens to the position of General Manager of the STEP Program
(Scientific Tools & Equipment Pool). 
The STEP Program is equipped and staffed to immediately respond to a wide
range of emergencies in the Gulf of Mexico and around the world.  Meeting or exceeding the highest in HSSE
requirements, STEP personnel are trained in proper Chain-of-Custody and other
Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA)
methodologies.<o:p></o:p>

“Gordon established and has managed our <?xml:namespace prefix = st1
ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /><st1:State
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Louisiana</st1:place></st1:State> operations
since 2010.”, stated Kevin Peterson, CEO of CSA, “His experience and capability
is uniquely suited to head up the STEP Emergency Response Program”.  <o:p></o:p>
<o:p> </o:p>
STEP members would have immediate access to specialized scientific
equipment and trained staff, ready to mobilize on a vessel of opportunity.  A member that draws on the STEP inventory
and services would pay pre‑established rates for equipment and personnel on an
as-used basis.  Access to the STEP
Program eliminates the need to ramp up equipment and services in an emergency
situation and the purchase of response-specific equipment that may not be used
again.  Additionally, STEP members
will be able to demonstrate to regulatory agencies and other stakeholders their
readiness to respond to the environmental aspect of an emergency situation.  <o:p></o:p>
