   Oil Spill; SW Pass Mississippi River, West Bay, LA.
   SW Pass Mississippi River, West Bay, LA.
   1. On Sunday evening (17 August 2003), the NOAA Scientific Support Coodinator was notified by USCG MSO New Orleans of a spill near SW Pass on the Mississippi River in West Bay, Louisiana. The spill actually occurred on Saturday, 16 August. When the USCG investigated the reported release on Sunday, they discovered that the volume reported was underestimated and the response effort was slow to contain and recover the spilled oil. USCG personnel on-scene estimated the volume observed (both contained and trapped in the adjacent marsh) as approximately 25 bbl. The USCG remains on-scene to monitor the progression of the cleanup. NOAA has provided weather support, a Resources and Risk (RAR) assessment and consultation to the MSO.
   2. THREAT: OIL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 1050 GALLONS.
