Original warning text

Auke Bay; AK.
AK.
1. In the early morning hours Sept. 21, 2004, vandals severed the fuel hoses feeding into the Auke Bay marina releasing both diesel and gasoline into the marina. Before the valves were secured, 1600 gallons of diesel and 50 gallons off gasoline were released into the marina. On scene weather was calm winds with locally heavy rains. The gasoline dispersed and evaporated within a couple of hours. The diesel was a bit more persistant with patchy sheens persisting for 2-3 days. Ultimately a light wind dispersed the remaining diesel but not before threatening some nearby eel grass beds.
2. THREAT: OIL. COMMODITY: DIESEL, GASOLINE. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 2000 GALLONS. TAGS: PIPELINE.
3. POSITION 58.400N 134.500W. NOAA INCIDENTNEWS 1220: https://incidentnews.noaa.gov/incident/1220
