Initial Notification: On 1/26/05 (Wednesday), a pipeline broke and spilled an estimated 63,000 gallons of light crude oil into the Kentucky River near Carrollton, KY. NOAA SSC assistance has been requested. Feb 14 2005 the FOSC made a boat survey from the Kentucky River past Louisville and saw no evidence of oil.
