Port of Long Beach, CA.
1. On March 12, 2025, the NOAA SSC was notified that an undetermined quantity of crude oil had reportedly discharged from an underground pipeline into a storm drain, ultimately reaching the Port of Los Angeles near Berth 55. Within the hour, the source was secured and USCG & OSROs were on-scene conducting clean-ups. Primary and secondary containment boom was deployed, two vacuum trucks actively skimming, and four vessels were on water working the cleanup. The morning of 13-MAR, an informal request for use of surface washing agent (SWA) was made for the purpose of de-contaminating local bulkheads and vessel hulls. USCG and California’s Office of Spill Prevention & Response (OSPR) requested NOAA SSC input and an incident-specific RRT request for SWA is being processed.
