   South Pass 24 Flowline Spill; Mississippi Delta, LA.
   Mississippi Delta, LA.
   1. On 17 May 2007, a USCG Pollution Investigation Team conducted an over flight of a reported 40 bbl crude oil spill adjacent to South Pass on the Mississippi River Delta. The location was identified as South Pass 24. The USCG reported that the spill was well contained by hard boom and within wetland habitat. NOAA was notified of the incident at this time, but since the scale of the problem appeared small and there were no need for specific on-scene NOAA support, the Scientific Support Coordinator provided only verbal consultation to the USCG until a site visit on 26 June.

   Grand Bay Tank Battery #12; Mississippi Delta LA.
   Mississippi Delta LA.
   1. An oil spill was reported to NOAA by Sector New Orleans on 23 May 2007. The spill is a result of a leaking crude oil storage tank at position 20° 19' 19" N Lat. 089° 17' 28" W Long. A 25' by 3 mile long brown sheen was reported in the water. The RP is currently equalizing the tank to secure the source.

   Chandelier Islands, LA.
   1. On the afternoon of 25 May 2007, USCG Sector New Orleans notified the regional NOAA Scientific Support Coordinator of a sunken tug off what was at one time part of the Chandelier Islands. The tug, identified as the BRET HUNTER, was carrying 6000 gallons of diesel fuel and reported to be slowly leaking. The small amount of sheen generated was reported to dissipate quickly.
   2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: DIESEL FUEL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 6000 GALLONS.

   Garden Island Bay; Mississippi River Delta, LA.
   Mississippi River Delta, LA.
   1. Following Hurricane Katrina, oil pollution was observed in the area of Garden Island Bay (part of the Louisiana Mississippi River Delta). The initial response was included as one of more than one hundred small pollution cases investigated during the post-hurricane response under ESF-10. Subsequently, this site was been identified as a chronic source of oil pollution that may be derived from some historical, subsurface oil spill incident that wasn't observed until after the hurricane eroded much of the marsh in SE Louisiana. A possible source is a submerged pipeline. The USCG has requested renewed assistance from NOAA in this investigation.
