   Dixon Entrance, Southeast Alaska.
   1. On January 3, 1989, the barge KENAI grounded at Thin Point at the entrance to Cold Bay, Alaska, after breaking its tug tow line. The barge was carrying mostly dry goods, but also had a small amount of diesel fuel and 40,000 pounds of low-level, polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)-laden soil removed from the U.S. Navy facility at Amchitka Island. The soil was being transported to a repository in Oregon. None of the containers of soil was lost overboard, however, damage to one of the tanks spilled about one hundred gallons of diesel. USCG district 17.
   2. COMMODITY: DIESEL FUEL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 100 GALLONS.
