Kinder Morgan also lost a pipe here in Arizona causing a gas panic and
shortage in the summer of 2003. Many of us in our BioTDIs couldn't help but
laugh...a little. You would think they would learn their lesson, wait until
Erin Brokovich gets her hands on them...
Major Oil Spill Near San Francisco
Apr 29, 2004 2:39 pm US/Mountain
Emergency response teams were trying to clean up a massive diesel fuel spill
from a ruptured pipeline into a wetlands area near Suisun Bay, federal
officials said Thursday.
Mark Merchant, a spokesman for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,
said as much as 1 million gallons could have been spilled. But a state
environmental official said the amount could be significantly lower.
Officials were still trying to determine how much diesel fuel had spilled.
They said the exact amount would not be known until the pipe is fixed and
refilled.
A 14-inch petroleum pipeline owned by Kinder-Morgan Energy Partners ruptured
and spilled into the wetlands of Suisun Marsh, which feeds into San
Francisco Bay, Merchant said.
State and federal crews specializing in oil spill cleanups were at the scene
Thursday about 25 miles northeast of San Francisco. About 50 people from the
Coast Guard, the state Department of Fish and Game, Solano County and the
EPA were assessing the damage and cleaning up the spill.
Kinder Morgan noticed a drop in pipeline pressure around 6 p.m. Tuesday
night and shut down that section of the pipeline, said Dana Michaels, a
spokeswoman for the California Department of Fish and Game.
State and federal agencies were notified of the spill Wednesday.
Authorities were trying to determine the extent of the damage, but said
diesel fuel had spread over an area of 300 yards in the marsh, Michaels
said.
