Unified Command Responds to Release of Petroleum Product Near Stockton, Calif.
The source of the released petroleum product is reported to be from an oil burner with a maximum potential capacity of 380 gallons.
A Unified Command with representatives from the U.S. Coast Guard, California Department of Fish and Wildlife's Office of Spill Prevention and Response (CDFW-OSPR), and the Environmental Protection Agency has been established in response to reports of released petroleum product near the Smith Canal in Stockton, California, Friday afternoon.
Coast Guard Sector San Francisco watchstanders received a report from the National Response Center at approximately 3:40 p.m., reporting that they had received a report of released petroleum product near the Smith Canal in Stockton.
The source of the released petroleum product is reported to be from an oil burner with a maximum potential capacity of 380 gallons.
Crews from the Stockton Fire Department and CDFW-OSPR responded initially and deployed sorbent boom to minimize environmental impacts. An additional layer of hard boom was deployed on both sides of the spill site to prevent product from entering into the San Joaquin River.
The Coast Guard has opened the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund for initial response and hired Patriot Environmental Services to contain and recover the released petroleum product.
The Stockton Police Department, San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office, and San Joaquin County Office of Emergency Services provided security and overflight support during the initial response.
The Oiled Wildlife Care Network (OWCN) has been notified and is on standby for wildlife response. No observations of oiled wildlife have been reported at this time. For your safety and the safety of the animals do not attempt to capture oiled animals. Report oiled wildlife to 1-877-UCD-OWCN (1-877-823-6926). Note that this number is not an informational or volunteer hotline.
