On September 1, 1998, Marine Safety Detachment (MSD) Kodiak reported a sheen approximately 1 mile long by 1/2 mile wide of light product with concentrations 1/2- to 3/4-inch thick near the Lash Dock in the northwest portion of Womens Bay in Kodiak, Alaska. Several fishing vessels, the tug Point Oliktok with a barge, and the landing craft Cape Douglas were in the area, but the source of the product was unknown. Initially, containment boom was deployed from Frye Point to the Nyman Peninsula to protect sensitive salmon streams. Boom was deployed to form a collection point at Lash Dock and two vacuum trucks and a skimmer were brought on-scene. The recovery effort was effective. Some oil outside the boomed area was seen on an overflight the morning of September 2. Approximately 1 mile of shoreline has been impacted. USCG district 17.
