   1. On the morning of 20 December, the USCG notified the NOAA HAZMAT SSC of a collision between an offshore supply vessel (OSV) and an unmanned platform some five miles south of Belle Pass, Louisiana. The incident occurred before 7:00 AM. The OSV was carrying an estimated 12,000 gallons of marine diesel fuel. The estimated volume lost was 2000 gallons. NOAA was asked to assess the trajectory implications of this release. The SSC notified and consulted with the US Fish and Wildlife Service and NOAA's Damage Assessment and Restoration Program (DARP). In general, given the current wind and sea conditions, the spilled oil is no threat to shoreline resources and should dissipate rapidly through evaporation and natural dispersion. DARP's spill coordinator is assessing potential injury to the offshore marine environment. Unless the situation changes, this report ends NOAA HAZMAT's response [...]

   1. The NOAA SSC was notified by MSO Morgan City of an oil spill some 5-7 miles south of Belle Pass, Louisiana. The release volume is unknown, but estimations between 5 and 120 bbl have been reported by the RP. An afternoon overflight by the RP with a USCG representative aboard reported only three small streamers of oil and estimated the volume observed at only 3 bbl. The NOAA spill trajectory predicted land fall during the night (see trajectory products). Since much of the shoreline at risk has been identified as critical habitat for a threatened species (Piping plovers), the NOAA SSC is planning a beach survey in the AM to assess impact and will coordinate these efforts with the USF&WS representative. USCG district 8.
