   Harvey Challenger; Galveston, Texas.
   Galveston, Texas.
   1. In the early morning hours of June 9, 1999, the tug Harvey Challenger with barge, The City of New Orleans in tow, allided with the rock jetty at the entrance to Galveston Bay, Texas. The City of New Orleans, a chemical carrier, was loaded with propane. The accident holed both the tug and the barge, but neither seriously. None of the propane tanks on the barge were compromised, but the barge took on water and began to list. After first light, what initially was thought to be a small fuel oil release, appeared much greater. The tug released an estimated 1200 gallons of fuel oil (the potential spill was estimated at 5000 gallons). The area threatened by the spill included many very sensitive wildlife resource areas. Birds were at the greatest risk of impact from this spill because they were present in very large numbers and many of the species present do not avoid oiled areas. Species [...]

   Barge Transfer Accident; Goleta Point, Ca · North Pacific Ocean

   Barge transfer accident; Goleta Point, CA.
   Goleta Point, CA.
   1. The USCG requested an analysis of a small release near Goleta Point, CA. A Barge released an estimated 1 bbl of light crude (API 21) during a pumping operation. The origin of the spill was at location 34°24.45N 119°53.5W and the spill occurred at 0905. A slick or "pad" was observed at location 34°25.1192N--119°54.862W at 11:34. That location is about 1.3 nm up the coast to the west of the release location. We we asked if the observed "pad" could have come from that known release location, and where likely landfall from the release might be.
   2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: LIGHT CRUDE. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 42 GALLONS.
