   1. On June 19, 2014, a transfer pipe parted between the motor tanker Palanca Singapore and the Exxon/Mobil terminal in Everett, MA, resulting in the discharge of an estimated 2500-10,000 gallons of heated asphalt into a boomed area between the pier and the ship. The asphalt was heated to a temperature of near 350 degree F and discharged into water of around 60 degrees F resulting in rapid cooling and solidification. The NOAA SSC was contacted by USCG Sector Boston and deployed to the scene. In addition, NOAA ERD oceanographers provided trajectory and fate modeling if any product were to have escaped containment.
   2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: ASPHALT. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 10000 GALLONS.
