Original warning text
Buffalo Marine; Nachez River, Beaumont, TX. Nachez River, Beaumont, TX. 1. Late on 8/28, eight bbls of #6 fuel oil were spilled during dockside transfer operation in Beaumont TX. The area was boomed. Skimmers, sorbents and a vac-truck were used to recover the floating oil. A small section of marsh adjacent to this commercial pier was impacted. The RP requested and received RRT approval to use PES 51 to aid in removing a 4 inch band of oil from around 2 barges and a tow boat. Proposed clean up operations are to spray PES 51 on rags and sorbent, then wiping down the sides of the vessels. It is estimated that less than 30 gallons of PES 51 will be needed to complete this portion of the clean up. Little or no PES 51 will enter the water. Little or no environmental impact is expected with this planned use of PES 51. 2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: #6 FUEL OIL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 336 GALLONS. 3. POSITION 30.076N 094.082W.
