Original warning text

Timbalier Platform; 5-7 mi s of  Belle Pass, LA.
5-7 mi s of  Belle Pass, LA.
1. The NOAA SSC was notified by MSO Morgan City of an oil spill some 5-7 miles south of Belle Pass, Louisiana. The release volume is unknown, but estimations between 5 and 120 bbl have been reported by the RP. An afternoon overflight by the RP with a USCG representative aboard reported only three small streamers of oil and estimated the volume observed at only 3 bbl. The NOAA spill trajectory predicted land fall during the night (see trajectory products). Since much of the shoreline at risk has been identified as critical habitat for a threatened species (Piping plovers), the NOAA SSC is planning a beach survey in the AM to assess impact and will coordinate these efforts with the USF&WS representative. USCG district 8.
2. COMMODITY: LOUSIANA SWEET CRUDE. MAXIMUM POTENTIAL RELEASE: 5040 GALLONS.
