The facility is adjacent to the Mississippi River at mile marker 67, on the right decending bank, and just up river 600 m from the Belle Chasse ferry landing.Initial safety distances were provided and fate of chemical in the event any entered the reiver were provided. DVB is a highly volatile and ignitable liquid that polymerizes (becomes a plastic like solid) unless stabilized with chemicals to keep it a liquid. It is insoluble, floats, and will generally evaporate, but may polymerize if it persists.No DVB had entered the river and was not expected to as of Friday evening, 17Aug. NOAA was contacted in the event it did and for safety issues related to the smoke or vapor plume." 8492,2012-08-16,"F/V ""Up The Ladder""; Cuttyhunk, MA","Cuttyhunk, MA",41.4163333333,-70.9457833333,Oil,Grounding,diesel,,,,,,400,0,"A 43 foot recreational fishing vessel grounded on the 'Sow and Pigs Reef"" just south of Cuttyhunk Island in Buzzards Bay, MA. She is carrying 400 gallons of diesel fuel and was towed to an intentional grounding area on a sand/gravel beach on the north side of Westend Pond (which does not communicate with the sea). Actions:1. She currently sits 200 yds off the beach, vents have been closed and she is no longer sheening.2. Salvage resources are due to arrive by 2000 tonight3. NOAA SSC has informed and briefed the DOI Trustee, particularly with regard to Penikese Island (2.5 miles to the north) where roseate terns (endangered) have been known to roost. Potential for impacts is very low.4. NOAA produced fate models indicating very low likelihood of oil threatening Penikese Island." 8490,2012-08-03,"M/V Ocean Crescent ; GOMEX south of Pensacola, FL","GOMEX south of Pensacola, FL",29.1233333333,-87.1533333333,Oil,,IFO 380,,,,,,1928,0,"At 2353 PDT USCG Sector Mobile, AL contacted the NOAA ERD duty officer to request a trajectory for an oil spill. The master of the M/V Ocean Crescent reported to the CG (at 2300PDT) spilling 7.3 cubic meters of IFO-380 as a result of a fuel transfer error. Spill location given as N29deg 07' 24"" and W87deg 09' 12"", which is in the Gulf of Mexico approximately 70 mi south of Pensacola, FL.A trajectory is being prepared." 8491,2012-08-02,"TCI Fire; Ghent, NY","Ghent, NY",42.3273472222,-73.7098166667,Chemical,Collision,,,,,,,,0,"On August 2, 2012, a fire at transformer recycling company in Columbia County, NY, resulted in a release of an unknown amount of chemicals, including PCB-laden oil and combustion by-products. A 15 mile radius shelter in place warning was issued by the county. NOAA ERD was contacted regarding air plume modeling and chemical sampling priorities.

One POB had evacuated the vessel and was saved by a Good Sam. Due to the dramatic similarities to the FV Mary Kay sinking just two days ago, the trajectory and fate analysis were essentially identical. CG and ADFG will be overflying the site later today to evaluate the size and scope of the problem due to a commercial fishing opening on Monday." 8489,2012-07-29,"Sunken NPS work boat; Adelup, Guam","Adelup, Guam",13.4811111111,144.722222222,Other,Coral|Derelict,,,,,,,25,0,"USCG Sector Guam notified the NOAA SSC on July 29 that an 18-foot US National Park Service work boat had capsized and was aground on reef at Asa Beach in Adelup, Guam.

No ERD support was requested."
