04/25/1989 Regular MeetingOil Spill Management Council
April 25, 1989 @ 5:00 p.m.
Kodiak, Alaska
MADDEN: C130 still airborne since 8:00 a.m. doing entire shoreline from
Montega Straits south. H3 left for Akhiok with boom and a member of the strike
team to look at large area of mousse in Straits. Overflight at first did not
see anything except for a new sheen --being investigated as not Valdez oil. It
is still out and has been redirected to the north side of Afognak. Ruff 'n
Ready reported prop wash was bringing a brown mess to surface --possibly krill.
Tomorrow they go to Chignik and do an overflight from Cape Gull to Chignik and
down past with a H3. C130 will be north of Kodiak. Report of mousse and sheen
southwest of Barren Islands. More boats have been directed to set boom in Seal
Bay and Delphine Bay. Nothing is being put in Big Bay because nothing has been
reported there. Late reports of mousse in various areas on the north side of
Afognak from Fish & Game. So, we are moving resources and trying to out -guess
where it is going. Park Service has given us reports of sheen in different
areas --visibility was poor until late today.
WADE: Have been concentrating efforts again today on cleanup plan so we can
get back to work at Big Fort Island. The Admiral will be here tomorrow. Still
working on getting additional boom.
FISH & GAME: We made flight to Tannerhead where an oil slick had been
reported. Nothing there. Small thin sheen but likely coming from three
vessels nearby.
JAY: Report in from Ten Bears, and he reported west shore of Big Tonki Bay has
scattered oil impact on beaches; also, Seal Bay, Moose and Delphine Bay
impacted. They picked up 12 dead birds and saw more. Scattered windrows off
Peranosa.
MADDEN: It is possible the birds are drifting down from Big Island with the
oil.
GOULD: How is the communication system working?
MADDEN: If we start putting out more boats and resources, we will have to do
something to increase our coverage. If the weather clears and our
communications don't improve, we need to look at something more.
