   East Rockaway Inlet.
   1. T/V Anthony J The tank vessel Anthony J grounded at 0205, 50 meters west of bouy # 4 off East Rockaway Inlet (0.4 miles SW of Silver Point). The vessel is carrying 16,600 barrels (684,600 gallons) of gasoline. The bottom in this location is sandy. Tide: 3/15 High = 0100 + 4.2 feet Low = 0725 + 0.4 feet High = 1331 + 3.4 feet Weather: Winds from the W SW 25 35 knots, decreasing through the day to 15 25 knots. Rough estimates of explosive concern (Lower Explosive Limit) under current environmental conditions for a catastrophic release (totatl loss of cargo) would be approximately 1.5 miles long by 0.5 miles wide. For a small release of about 1,000 gallons the Area Of Concern would be in the on the order of a few hundred meters. If there is a release under current environmental conditions ADIOS predicts 75% evaporation, 15% dispersion, and 10% floating after 12 hours. Plans are underway to [...]
