Accidental Spills and Other Discharges Sample Clauses

Accidental Spills and Other Discharges. Early detection of spills limits exposure of organisms to the time it takes for cleanup to occur, however residual amounts not removed by cleanup can prolong exposure. Spills in Port Xxxxxx are associated with the transport or use of petroleum products. Spills on the ground or leaks from underground pipes and storage tanks can enter the Port through contaminated runoff. The largest potential for spills is from the vessel transport of crude oil, jet fuel, and marine diesel fuel. Oil tankers load North Slope crude oil from the Valdez Marine Terminal, while fuel barges load jet fuel and marine diesel from the city’s petroleum dock. Spills of other industrial and commercial use chemicals and fuels used for maintenance and repair of vessels can also occur. The USCG and ADEC investigate reported spills on the water and on land, however most of the spills were reported by Alyeska and Petro Star (Table 5-3) (1995 Oil Spill Report, ADEC, Anchorage, AK). Alyeska maintains the Service Escort and Response Vessel Service (SERVS) team which responds to these spills. Other spills by other companies or individuals are probably under-reported (pers. comm., X. Xxxxxx Xxxx, USCG, 1995). The largest spill after 1970 occurred on January 3, 1989 when the tanker Xxxxxxxx Pass lost 273,000 L (250 metric tons) of North Slope crude oil through a cracked hull (Oil Spill Library, Anchorage, AK, 1995). Another spill of 32,000 L (30 metric tons) from the BP Eastern Table 5-3. Products spilled and number of events reported in Port Valdez from September 1992 to March 1995 (1995 Oil Spill Report, ADEC, Anchorage, AK).
