   1. This is only a potential spill. In the middle of the night of Jan. 25, 2012, the FV Kimberly was forced aground by weather with winds gusting to over 100 knots on the West side of Shelikof Strait in Jute Bay. The vessel owner reports that there are approximately 1900 gal. of diesel, 400 gal. of hydraulic oil, 70 gal. of lubricating oil, and 25 gallons of antifreeze on board. The owner of the vessel reports that it was not taking on water when they abandoned the vessel even though the vessel had been blown a considerable distance up the primarily sandy beach. The USCG rescued the 4 crew members from the grounding. The RP is working with Magone Marine Services to develop a plan for removal of the fluids and any other hazardous substances from the vessel once weather permits. The RP will then evaluate options and develop a plan for removal of the vessel from State tidelands
