Two oil spills are reported
FERNDALE -- Two oil spills were reported yesterday in Washington's inland marine waters, the Coast Guard reported.
The second and larger spill was reported shortly before 8 p.m. at the ConocoPhillips refinery near Ferndale, Petty Officer Jeff Pollinger said.
About 50 gallons of intermediate fuel oil spilled while a Canadian-flagged barge was being refueled, he said.
The spill was believed to be contained, but any environmental damage assessment would not be available until a pollution-response team could get on scene. The spill was attributed to a "breach in the hull."
Earlier in the day, an oil sheen was reported near Bremerton, involving 10 gallons or less of an undetermined petroleum product.
