   1. NOAA was notified of this incident on February 17, 1999, by MSO Morgan City who requested help with the assessment of the spill. The area was extremely low energy (almost zero) so the oil was easily recovered by the skimmers. By the evening of February 19, 1999, approximately 500 barrels of the estimated 600 barrels spilled had been recovered. Due to the season and low energy of the environment, impacts from this release were low. By 1330 February 22, 1999, 720 barrels were recovered exceeding the initial estimate of 600 barrels. Mechanical recovery of the oil continued. Although the well was abandoned, it continued to produce oil filling both holding tanks. A pipe burst causing the tanks and the well to drain into an adjacent ditch that led to the bayou. The EPA was investigating options to fully dismantle and cap the well. USCG district 8. Keyword: berm, boom, skimmers.
   2. COMMODITY: CRUDE OIL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 25200 GALLONS.

   1. On the morning of February 27, 1999 the HAZMAT Duty Officer was notified of a marine casualty on the Mississippi River. At approximately 0000 CST the T/V Hyde Park, enroute to Dow Chemical in Baton Rouge, lost power at mile marker 92 approximately 5 miles south of New Orleans. The vessel careened down river colliding with numerous vessels and river structures, sinking a crew boat and a barge containing caustic soda. Product onboard the T/V Hyde Park is 25000 metric tons of pyrolysis gasoline and an undetermined amount of its own Bunker C fuel oil. The vessel is known to have leaked Bunker C fuel oil and it is believed that at least 8 metric tons have been released into the Mississippi River. The source of that leak has been secured. No pyrolysis gasoline is believed to be leaking at this time. The Mississippi River is closed from mile marker 79 to 92. Assistant SSC Steve Thumm is at the [...]
