Royal Oil Company; Baltimore, Maryland

Baltimore, Maryland | 1987-Oct-01

Initial Notification: This underground oil spill case continues from the discovery in April, 1985, of diesel oil seepage from a stream embankment at the base of Gable Avenue in Baltimore. Because this release occurs in an industrialized section of Baltimore, identifying the source has been an ongoing issue. The oil has leaked into Gwynn's Falls, a tributary of the Patapsco River. USCG district 5.
