   1. On 29 September 2004 at 1515, the US Coast Guard Activities New York (ACTNY) was notified of a mystery oil spill in Weir Creek originating from a sewer outfall. Upon investigation by ACTNY and NYC Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) personnel, the source of the spill was identified as an apartment complex about three miles inland. The discharge came from a heating oil tank in the basement of an apartment building. Approximately 3,400 gallons of number 6 fuel oil discharged from a hole in the return fuel line between the boiler and the storage tank. NYCDEP traced discharge from outfall in Weir Creek through sewer line to floor drain in basement of apartment building. The on-scene weather was partly cloudy, wind 17 mph from the north; air temperature 64 degrees F, sea state 1 foot. ACTNY opened the OSLTF and hired a cleanup contractor.

At approximately 1300 hours on Saturday, October 30, 2004, Kinder Morgan Energy, experienced an above ground storage tank failure at its terminal in Carteret, New Jersey resulting in a release of 460,000 gallons of 50% sodium hydroxide. The storage tank's capacity was 500,000 gallons. An unknown amount of product entered the Arthur Kill waterway that separates New Jersey and Staten Island, New York. An unknown amount was contained within the tank's dike system and the facility's storm water containment system. In addition, as a result of the tank failure a second tank sustained damage and also leaked an unknown amount of sodium hydroxide but this leak has been contained. Three individuals were suffered burns. Two were treated and released, third is being held in the hospital for further observations. The RP in cooperation with the USCG are in the process of determining how much product [...]

   Hells Gate, NY Harbor, NY.
   1. A fuel-oil tanker ran aground in the East River. It was first feared that some of the 446-foot long barge's 130,000 barrels of home-heating oil on board had spilled. But by daybreak divers determined not a drop had leaked. The barge was towed to the docks under the Whitestone Bridge, and divers were in the water just after 6:30 a.m. to look at the extent of the damage. The tugboat hauling that barge ran aground around 7:20 p.m. Thursday near the Hell's Gate Bride. A Staten Island transportation company owns the tugboat. The captain was tested for drugs and alcohol and tests came back negative. The barge is now being assessed for stability. NOAA provide trajectory and weather information.
