   1. At 0030, January 4, 1992, an oily water ballast mixture was being transferred between tanks at the Kenai Pipeline dock at Nikiski, Alaska when the pipeline burst and released the mixture into Cook Inlet. Failing heat tape on the pipeline caused the accident at the facility owned jointly by Chevron and ARCO. The owners immediately accepted full responsibility for the accident. Cook Inlet Spill Prevention and Response Incorporated (CISPRI) had a foxtail skimmer on the slick within 45 minutes and a second one on scene by daybreak. After the four-day response, no further oil was sighted in Cook Inlet. The weather at the time of the incident was temperature 20 to 25?F with light to strong winds from the northeast and intermittent low cloud banks. USCG district 17. Keyword: Corexit 9527, dispersant.

   1. The incident, which occurred at 1am this morning, involves a broken pipeline at the Nikiski terminal on the East side of Cook Inlet (about 60 miles Southwest of Anchorage, just North of Kenai). . An estimated 400 barrels of North Slope Crude (40% of an oily water mixture) has been spilled. The mixture, which was used as ballast, spilled due to a failure in an on-shore tank system. USCG district 17.
   2. COMMODITY: NORTH SLOPE CRUD. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 16800 GALLONS.

   Soldotna Sewage Treatment Plant; Kenai Peninsula, Alaska.
   Kenai Peninsula, Alaska.
   1. In the early morning hours of January 30, 1992, a chlorine leak developed at the Soldotna Sewage Treatment Plant located eight miles upstream from the mouth of Kenai River on the Kenai Peninsula. A chlorine cloud formed and the cold temperatures (0?F) and very stable, windless atmospheric conditions resulted in limited dispersion of this cloud. This cloud followed the river channel downstream five to eight miles before it dissipated. Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) personnel evacuated about 500 residents from both sides of the river downstream. These residents were allowed to return to their homes about 1500 the same day. The original estimate of chlorine released was 100 to 1,500 pounds; later, this estimate was reduced to 25 pounds. USCG district 17. Keyword: none.
   2. COMMODITY: CHLORINE GAS. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 25 GALLONS.
