Gasoline Spill in Martinez

May 14, 2008

A tugboat at Tesoro’s Golden Eagle refinery Avon wharf facility hit three pipes shortly before 1:10 a.m., dumping 1500 gallons of gasoline into the San Francisco Bay.
The coast Guard has deployed a boom and is using skimmers to try to contain the Gasoline.
Here’s a link to a slideshow of the accident site.
No word yet on the environmental impact, but here’s a story on Kron 4.
