Another update on crews investigating the oil sheen that was discovered: #ocoilspill

➡️ On November 20, crews scheduled for planned work on the pipeline observed and reported a sheen of 30’ by 70’ as they approached the area of the line. #breakingnews

Divers conducting the planned assessments on the line then discovered small droplets on the syntho-glass wrap.

Unified Command deployed pollution responders & oil spill response organization assets to investigate the sheen & whether it was related to the pipeline.

#news

As of 1400, no sheen has been observed by on-water or aerial assets. The old wrap was removed from the line and the new wrap was installed.

Crews will monitor the line overnight to ensure effectiveness.
