   Main Pass 25, Bison Energy; 16 miles north of Venice, LA.
   16 miles north of Venice, LA.
   1. On January 30th, 2014, the USCG Sector New Orleans contact the NOAA SSC about a oil spill reported in Main Pass 25 (NRC 1072522). The spill is originating from a 1,000 bbl tank on a facility. There is no known rate of discharge and the facility is attempting to secure the source. At this time, the sheen is reported to be 3 mi by 10 feet with black oil covering 0.5 mi by 5 ft (report from facility). An overflight is underway to verify these reports. Efforts are being made to deploy 1,000 ft or hard boom and 800 ft sorbant material. USCG is requesting a trajectory at this time to assist with current and future overflight operations.

   St. Bernard Parish, LA.
   1. On February 20 2014, the USCG Sector New Orleans notified NOAA SSC about a Mystery Sheen in Black Bay, in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana. The sheen is 3.5 miles by 300 yrds with 70 % cover of mostly rainbow sheen. Upon further investigation, a suspected source was identified, but no Responsible Party is taking ownership of the sheen. USCG has requested a hindcast (reverse trajectory) to help determine the source.

   Southwest Pass Venice, Louisiana.
   1. On March 9, 2014, the USCG New Orleans contacted the NOAA SSC about a leaking flowline on an unmanned facility located in West Delta Block 83, between the Lower Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico about 4 miles northeast of the entrance to Southwest Pass, south of Venice, Louisiana. An estimated 15-30 barrels (bbls) of crude oil was discharged. The source was secured at 0645 on 9 MAR by shutting in the flowline. Cleanup operations are ongoing.

   Mississippi River, MM 88.
   1. On March 17, 2014, the USCG Sector NOLA contacted the NOAA SSC with request for information on effects of an ongoing hydrofluoric acid (HF) release from a chemical facility into the Mississippi River. The facility had advised Coast Guard they were monitoring levels of 569 ppb HF in a 40-inch pipe which releases cooling water into the river.

   Southwest Pass, LA.
   1. On March 19, 2014, Sector NOLA contacted the NOAA SSC regarding a leaking pipeline near Southwest Pass, LA., (NRC#1076793), and requested a resources at risk for the area. Currently, there is no product in the water, and what has been released is contained in a bermed area. Specific source has not yet been identified. Initially source was thought to be an abandoned tank, but now appears to be a leaking pipeline. A resources at risk analysis was prepared and provided to Coast Guard.

   Southwest Pass, Miss. River Delta, LA.
   1. On April 3, 2014, the USCG New Orleans contacted the NOAA SSC regarding a reported crude oil spill that occurred near Southwest Pass on the Mississippi River Delta. Volume of release estimated to have been 7 to 10 barrels (bbls) with a maximum potential of 37 bbls. Source of the release is unknown. USCG conducted an overflight and observed a 3 nautical mile (NM) by 1 NM sheen, with moderate marsh impact. Sheen described as 50% coverage, 40% silver, 30% dark, 30% dull brown. USCG has requested trajectory.
