  2. Significant Cases Roche Harbor Fire CLAM DIGGER NEAHKANIE HELENA STAR GOLDEN WEST SECTOR PUGET SOUND

  3. M/Y OCENA ALEXANDERFire - Roche Harbor • What happened: • Yacht caught fire while moored – no one on board • Multiple agencies responded • San Juan Fire District 3 • San Juan County Sheriff • IOSA • Vessel Assist • Significance: • Fire extinguished but vessel sunk at pier when tide shifted • GDS contracted by RP (Yacht Broker) to raise vessel, remove fuel and remove from water • Minimal release of pollution – all contained and cleaned in place SECTOR PUGET SOUND

  4. M/V CLAM DIGGER • What happened: • CG responded to “mayday” call • Vessel sank just west of Guemes Island • Vessel was carrying fish food for salmon farm pens • 3,000 gals of diesel potentially on board • No injuries, casualties, only minimal pollution • RP hired GDS for pollution mitigation and salvage of the vessel • Significance: • Extremely challenging salvage due to the extreme currents and small “tide windows” • Vessel refloated and hauled out before fuel removed due to safety concerns at location SECTOR PUGET SOUND

  5. F/V NEAHKANIE • What happened: • Missed turn and grounded just north of Lagoon Point • Vessel was carrying cleaned salmon in chilled saltwater tanks • 8,500 gals of diesel on board • Significance: • No injuries, casualties, or pollution • Excellent coordination with State, RP and OSRO • Vessel pulled off safely at next high tide SECTOR PUGET SOUND

  6. M/V HELENA STAR What happened: Significance: • Vessel sank at pier while moored adjacent to M/V GOLDEN WEST • Product was removed by CG a year prior – preventing significant discharge • Ownership is disputed • Lack of “significant and substantial threat of discharge” precludes further action by FOSC other than monitoring. • CG unable to remove due to statutory constraints • Working closely with State to allow them to find creative solution for removal SECTOR PUGET SOUND

  7. M/V GOLDEN WEST • Due to concerns over the residual product released by the HELENA STAR, CG and Ecology conducted a Pollution assessment • Assessment revealed an estimated 10,000 gallons of product. • RP/owner contracted GDS to remove • 10,500 gals of recyclable oil was recovered. • Another 1,000 gals of oily water removed SECTOR PUGET SOUND

  8. Regional Challenges • Northern Border (West and East of Cascades) • Fostering PNW Economic Engine to include Beyond the Border initiative • Changing Energy Picture • Environmental/Tribal Sensitivities in Region • Training Next Generation of Marine Inspectors • Safety and Security Operations (Navy, WSF, JHOC and Arctic) • Natural Disaster Response • Japan Tsunami Debris Support • Response “V” SECTOR PUGET SOUND
