    Grand Bay, LA.
    1. USCG contacted the NOAA SSC for support on a small pipeline spill in Grand Bay, LA. The release was discovered and the pipeline was shut in on January 14 (Sunday), but weather conditions prevented a prompt visual assessment. In the event that the release proves larger than initially thought, the USCG has requested weather and trajectory and trajectory support.

    1. On January 21, 2007, the NOAA SSC was notified of a suspected well head or pipeline blowout in Lake Perot, LA. The source is unconfirmed and may be an abandoned wellhead or pipeline. There is a significant plume of oil condensate jetting into the air and a trailing plume of brown condensate on the water

    Braithwaite, LA.
    1. On 5 Feb. 2007, the SSC was notified by USCG Sector New Orleans of a release of acid into the Mississippi River. A reported 20,000 gallons of 25% solution of fluorosilicic acid lost to the river due to an equipment failure. It was initially not entered into ResponseLink. In retrospect, since it included the first use of a new NOAA on-line support application developed for emergency responders, it should be documented.

    Wellhead Incident; Little Lake, LA.
    Little Lake, LA.
    1. NOAA was notified on 11 March 2007 of a tug striking a wellhead platform resulting in a 15 to 20 foot spray of oil. Fortunately, the incident only involved a connecting flow line that was cut by the tug's prop and not a wild well blowout. An employee of the company that manages the well observed the incident and was able to access the platform and secure the line by shutting in an isolation valve. As a result, what could have been a much larger problem was quickly minimized to a small spill. NOAA has provided consultation to the USCG on the fate and transport of the spilled oil.
