   1. At approximately 8:00pm PST the Dredge STUYVESANT notified the Coast Guard that they noticed a trailing sheen as the dredge was coming in to Humbolt Bay. A Coast Guard overflight confirmed oil coming from the barge and requested that the vessel head out to the sea buoy to assess the problem. The vessel was found to have a crack in the hull 10' below the water line on the starboard side. The vessel continued west, further out to sea, and is attempting to effect repairs at sea. The crack is in a tank which contained approximately 920 BBL of IFO-180 fuel oil. After sounding the tank it is estimated that approximately 2,000 gallons of fuel oil has been released. USCG district 11. Keyword: containment boom, endangered species, evaporation, shallow-water recovery, skimmers, smothering, sorbent boom, sorbent pompoms, vacuum trucks, volunteers.
