Original warning text

Possible HazMat Spill; Crockett, California.
Crockett, CA.
1. On April 2, 2025, the local NWS Weather Forecast Office staff contacted their NOAA SSC to relay a report from Contra Costa Fire Department of an ongoing spill being investigated in Carquinez Strait in Crockett, CA. A Cal OES report (No. 25-1666) was generated at 1719 hrs (local) describing “a large sheen forming in the waters of Carquinez Straights” ” and concurrent observations indicated a petroleum smell and a sheen, but no black oil. SSC contacted USCG, which had not yet heard of the incident, but would investigate. A USCG helicopter overflight observed bright white silver streaks/streamers in the waters of Carquinez Strait and local news later reported an unknown odor being investigated by local FD.
2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: UNKNOWN.
