   Barge Collision; Wax Lake Spillway, Louisiana.
   Wax Lake Spillway, Louisiana.
   1. On January 26, 1992, the tugs De Lasalle and Scaup reported a collision between their respective tows at mile marker (mm) 108 of the Intracoastal Waterway (ICWW). The collision caused a breach in the upper one-third of the #1 port cargo tank of the styrene barge being towed by De Lasalle. The breach in the styrene tank initially released an unknown quantity of styrene into the waterway. When the damaged barge was pushed to the embankment of the ICWW and released by the tug, the damaged tank dropped below the water and released a great deal more of the styrene. The tank was capable of holding 115,000 gallons, but was carrying only about 89,857 gallons. The U. S. Coast Guard (USCG) promptly closed the ICWW from mm 105 to mm 110. Booms were deployed west (downcurrent) of the spill site, and later, to the east of the site to delay any possible incursion into the Wax Lake area. For [...]

   Barge RTC320; Arthur Kill.
   Arthur Kill.
   1. At approx. 0040 5/15/97, a barge being loaded with No. 2 fuel oil overfilled spilling an estimated 1014 bbls (42,588 gallons) into the Arthur Kill. The spill location coordinates are 40 deg. 35 min. 17 sec. N, 74 deg. 12 min. 33 sec. W. The apparent cause of the spill was the deckhand fell asleep during the loading operation. The barge was boomed prior to fuel transfer operations; most of the oil was contained within the boom. Response contractor is on-scene. Some oil has moved south to just north of the Outer Bridge Crossing.- - Trajectory/Forecast: - The tide will change at 1100. Forecasted winds should push the oil towards the Staten Island side of the kill. Trajectory, ADIOS, and weather analysis predicts a 90% evaporation of the oil within 12 hours. - - No NOAA personnel are anticipated to respond on-scene at this time. USCG district 1.
   2. COMMODITY: # 2 FUEL OIL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 42600 GALLONS.
