    Monterey Bay, CA.
    1. On the afternoon of 05-JAN-2016, California’s Office of Spill Prevention & Response (OSPR) contacted their regional NOAA SSC indicating that chemical analyses of oiled bird samples collected in December 2015 were consistent with oil from the shipwreck SS Jacob Luckenbach. The Luckenbach had sunk in 1953, was a source of mystery spills for decades, and was the site of an underwater oil removal operation in 2002

    1. On the afternoon of 08-JAN-2016, USCG Sector San Francisco contacted the regional NOAA SSC to request a hindcast for tarballs that had come ashore at Point Lobos, just south of Carmel, CA. . Due to recent heavy weather in the area, USCG will have some tarballs analyzed and have requested hindcast trajectory support to help determine a likely source.

    McAbee Beach, Monterey, CA.
    1. On February 11, 2016, a small amount of black oil was observed leaching out of an abandoned concrete foundation into the upper intertidal along the Cannery Row shoreline in downtown Monterey, CA. Source is suspected to be an abandoned tank. Excavation of the upland site is likely to occur in the near future once tides and local storm conditions diminish.
    2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: KEROSENE, OTHER OIL(S). MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 750 GALLONS.
