   1. At about 0645 PST 26 March, NOAA HAZNAT was contacted by USCG MSO Long Island Sound, New Haven, CT, concerning tarballs and tar patties which were reported washing up on the north shore of Long Island from Stonybrook, NY to Wading River, NY on 23 March.

At first light 20 March the facility noticed a spill. That afternoon a 6x1/2 inch crack was found in the starboard #1 tank of the barge while it was located offshore of Bridgeport CT. The tank had held 4716 bbl of oil and was found to now have 6 to 8 inches of water in the tank. The barge moved to anchorage off New Haven CT and was lightered. Lightering was completed 0915, 21 March. USCG district 1.

   1. Activities New York is responding to a #6 spill in Little Neck Bay, on the north shore of Long Island, NY. At this point the amount and source are undetermined. Initially the oil was thought to have come from a leaking barge in the COTP Long Island Sound area. However, laboratory tests show them to be two separate oils. With heavy rains in the area the investigators on scene have discovered oil coming out of a storm drain. They are attempting to trace the source from there. USCG district 1.
   2. COMMODITY: #6 FUEL OIL.
