   Conoco Phillips Bayway Refinery; Carteret, NJ.
   Carteret, NJ.
   1. On September 6, 2006 an oil spill was discovered at the Conoco Phillips Bayway Refinery, Carteret, New Jersey. The source was a 6 inch pipeline which hadn't been used in 15 years. It appears that the pipeline failure was due to corrosion. USCG and Conoco Phillips estimates that between 2,000-3,000 gallons of residual No. 6 oil spilled into a small freshwater pond that is located on the refinery's property. The pond is connected to Morris's Mill Creek which is tidal and eventually discharges into the Arthur Kill. Some oil did flow from the pond into the creek, but it was contained by fence boom, no oil made its way into the Arthur Kill.
   2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: #6 FUEL OIL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 3000 GALLONS. TAGS: PIPELINE.
