   1. During bunkering operations in Anchorage #9, South San Francisco Bay, the Tank Ship COMMAND discovered a fracture along the starboard fuel tank. An estimated 10 bbl IBF 380 was released. The leak was secured and the fuel transferred from that tank. MSO San Francisco has requested trajectory information. An 1650 overflight showed no recoverable oil. First light overflights will be conducted to determine the extent of any remaining oil. Investigations into the cause of the spill are continuing. NOAA SSC is on scene to provide any assistance. USCG district 17. Keyword: The location of spill was at 37? 45' 58.7" N by 122? 20' 54.4" W..

   1. On September 28, 1998, a USCG overflight identified an oil slick approximately 10 nm offshore San Francisco Bay northwest of Point San Pedro. The mystery slick (later identified as the result of a faulty fuel transfer aboard the T/V Command) contained streamers of black oil, mousse, and sheens. On September 29 NOAA sent a team on-scene. By October 2 very little recoverable oil or tarballs were seen during the overflight and the FOSC released the NOAA team. Tarballs had impacted Pillar Point, Pomponio Beach, Air Force Beach, Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, and San Gregorio Beach and cleanup crews had been dispatched to continue the cleanup. Impacts to Wildlife: Impacts to wildlife, especially birds were reported by the International Bird Rescue and Research Center. They reported that Common Murres (52 live/ 36 dead), Glaucous-winged Western Gull Hybrid (1/0), Greater White-fronted Goose [...]
