Ocean City Minor Mystery Spill; White Marlin Marina, Ocean City, Maryland

White Marlin Marina, Ocean City, Maryland | 1994-Jun-17

Initial Notification: NOAA was notified of this incident on June 18, 1994, by MSO Baltimore and participated by telephone with the State of Maryland DEQ in discussions on "how clean is clean". The SSC was asked to estimate how long it would take natural processes to remove the oil stains from this public marina. NOAA said that if the sheen from the light fuel oil was removed, the coating and staining on shore structures would naturally disperse and be removed from the marina structures soon, but no definite date could be stated. USCG district 5. Keyword: sorbent booms, sorbent pads.
