Original warning text
DREDGE BARGE; OREGON INLET, NC. OREGON INLET, NC. 1. The barge, Northerly Islander, located at 35deg 46'N,75deg 32'W has a potential of leaking 41,000 gallons of diesel and 1600 gallons of lube oil. The barge went aground at about 01:30 EDT on October 26th. At this time the barge is not leaking product. If any of this initial information is incorrect, please let us know ASAP as it would affect any trajectory implications. 1) TRAJECTORY The forecasted winds will tend to dominate the transport processes and we would expect that the winds will move the product in a southerly direction. If a spill were to occur and persist over a tidal cycle, it is likely that both the inside and outside of northern Pea Island will be threatened. If the diesel is released, there maybe a toxic shock to bivalves. The lube oil may coat the eel grass beds on the inside of Pea Island and we would expect a minimal amount of lube oil impacting the sandy beaches on [...] 2. COMMODITY: DIESEL, LUBE OIL. 3. POSITION 35.767N 075.533W. NOAA INCIDENTNEWS 6761: https://incidentnews.noaa.gov/incident/6761
