    1. On October 22, 2013, the NOAA SSC was contacted by USCG Sector New Orleans regarding a pin hole leak and resulting crude oil release from the dump line associated with the Grand Bay Tank Battery #1 (approximately 5 miles NE of Venice, LA). Reportedly 1 barrel of crude oil was released creating a 45 yard by 15 foot dark black sheen. The associated production well has been shut in and the release reportedly secured.

    Quarantine Bay, LA.
    1. On November 12, 2013, USCG Sector New Orleans contacted NOAA SSC about a mystery sheen reported in Quarantine Bay, 8 miles north of Buras, LA. The sheen appears to be from a pipeline near a decommissioned platform. The overflight estimated that 200 gallons of crude oil is on the surface, creating a sheen of 3 miles by 3/4 miles. USCG is requesting a trajectory from NOAA at this time to determine potential shoreline and resource impacts.
