   1. At 1137, on January 4, 1993, USCG Station Depoe Bay, OR received a report of oil on the local beaches. A USCG overflight that afternoon confirmed the presence of tarballs and oil impacts along a 15-mile stretch of shoreline south of Lincoln, OR between Gleneden Beach and Seal Rock. No source of the oil was found. A shoreline survey by MSO Portland personnel the following morning observed weathered pea- to grape-size tarball accumulations that warranted cleanup deposited along the high-tide line in at least five different areas between Lincoln City and Lost Creek. The Oil Pollution Fund was opened. Manual cleanup of the impacted areas was completed January 8, 1993. USCG district 5.

   Gleneden Beach.
   1. SSC and Coast Guard surveyed 18 miles of shoreline between Beaver Creek and Gleneden. The survey identified five miles of shoreline along Gleneden Beach and Lincoln Beach with sporadic distribution of tarballs ranging from pea-size to marble-size. The majority of the tarballs were found mixed with organic debris left by the tide on the upper portion of the beach. A second three mile stretch of shoreline between Lost Creek and Thiel Creek was also found to have localized concentrations of pea-sized or smaller tarballs mixed with organic debris along the upper part of the beach. In both cases, tarball appeared to be well- weathered bunker or heavy waste oil. USCG district 5.
