Original warning text
B&R Trucking; Kodiak, Alaska. Kodiak, Alaska. 1. At approximately 2000 on April 26, 1988 at the the Kodiak Reduction, Inc. facility, a truck owned by B&R Trucking collided with a stationary railroad tank car, spilling 3,500 gallons of waste motor oil from the tank. Although most of the oil was contained in a containment trench, the next day it was discovered that some of the oil had leached through the soil and down a rocky cliff into Gibson Cove, a few miles south of Kodiak. A minimal amount of oil was believed to have entered the cove, as only a light sheen, covering an area of 5-7 acres, was visible on the water. Recovery operations were jointly undertaken by the facility and the city of Kodiak. B&R Trucking assumed financial responsibility for the cleanup. USCG district 17. 2. COMMODITY: WASTE MOTOR OIL. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 3500 GALLONS. 3. POSITION 57.805N 152.386W. NOAA INCIDENTNEWS 6570: https://incidentnews.noaa.gov/incident/6570
