   1. The NOAA SSC was notified by the Hazmat Duty Officer on Friday morning (2/14) at approximately 0630 concerning the grounding of the T/B Energy 5501 about 2 miles south of Norwalk, CT. The USCG requested the SSC on scene. The Initially, it was unknown how much home heating oil was lose from the barge. The barge was loaded with 56,000 barrels (2,352,000 gallons) and had a draft of 17.9 feet. It struck a rock charted at 18 feet mean low water. Due to the stage of the moon, falling tide, and offshore winds the water depth over the rock was minimal. The tug was hugging the CT coast to stay in the lee of winds from the NW as it headed to its destination in Port Jefferson, NY. The barge was taken to a nearby location (41deg 02.6 N / 73deg 22.053 W) and anchored. The NOAA Scientific Support Team provided the USCG initial trajectory and oil weathering information, weather, tides, and resources [...]

   1. The USCG Sector LIS was notified by the Motiva facility that the barge Energy 5501 was leaking product at its pier in New Haven, CT harbor. The barge initially was boomed. The product was 93-octane gasoline and an estimated 100 barrels was contained within the boom. The NOAA SSC was notified at 0700 and requested to provide trajectory analysis, weather, and tides and current information. Also discussed were response options, including releasing the oil from the containment boom, the use of firefighting foam to inhibit any potential explosive hazard, and the use of fire hoses to spray along the shoreline to keep the gasoline away and to break up the slick. The New Have Fire Department was on scene and acting as the Incident Commander. They did not have any way to apply foam to the spill. The boom was opened about 0800 on an ebb tide.
   2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: GASOLINE. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 168000 GALLONS.
