   1. NOAA was notified of this incident on June 14, 1999, by MSO Jacksonville who requested general information about tarballs to help answer questions being raised by the public and the media. NOAA provided the MSO with weather forecasts and historical wind information for June 11 to 15. On-shore winds had been from the northeast, east, and southeast during this time. Without knowing how long the oil had been in the water or the movement of any potential source, it was not possible to estimate where the oil may have come from. The USCG oversaw cleanup of the impacted areas. The source was never found. USCG district 7. Keyword: tarballs.
