   1. On the evening of 25 June 2009, the regional NOAA Scientific Support Coordinator was notified of a tug sinking near the Causeway Bridge in Lake Pontchartrain, LA. The tug was reported to have 5000 gallons of diesel on board, but the release rate and volume may be significantly less due to the reported capsized position of the barge (upside down). The location of the incident appears to be just E of the Causeway Bridge at 30° 3’ 34” N Lat. 090° 0’ 40” W Long. The barge was reported to have sunk at 7:00 PM.
