                           FOREWORD
     Man and his environment must be protected from the adverse
effects of pesticides, radiation, noise and other forms of pol-
lution, and the unwise management of solid waste.  Efforts to pro-
tect the environment require a focus that recognizes the interplay
between the components of our physical environment -- air, water,
and land.  The National Environmental Research Centers provide this
multidisciplinary focus through programs engaged in

      •  studies on the effects of environmental contaminants
         on man and the biosphere, and

      •  a search for ways to prevent contamination and to re-
         cycle valuable resources.

     The compilation and dissemination of pertinent information is
essential to understanding and management of the environment.

     This report is the first in a series of quarterly reports high-
lighting significant and recent events, research, and literature
dealing with the prevention, control and cleanup of oil spills.

                         INTRODUCTION
This is the first edition of Oil Spill and Oil Pollution Reports.
It consists of four major sections:  oil spill events, summaries
of articles from the scientific and technical literature, summa-
ries of current research projects, and summaries of oil pollution
related patents.

Oil spill events are arranged alphabet!'dally by state and chrono-
logically for each state.  Following the state is listed the county
and city nearest to where the spill occurred.  The Oil Spill Event
dates range beyond the stated dates of this report and the report
does not include all oil spills between July and October, 1974.
The amount of detailed information for each oil spill entry varies
with the oil spill information source.

Summaries and bibliographic citations of articles from the scien-
tific and technical literature are arranged by topic and alphabeti-
cally by senior author -within each topic.  Sources for the summar-
ized material are scientific and technical journals and abstracting
journals.

Current research project summaries are arranged by topic and alpha-
betically by senior principal investigator within each topic.  The
topics used in this section are generally the same as used in the
proceeding section but to avoid confusion the two sections are sep-
arate.  All the research project information was obtained from the
Smithsonian Science Information Exchange (SSIE).

Patent summaries are divided into United States and foreign and
arranged alphabetically by inventor in each section.  All patent
information was obtained from abstracting journals.  Illustrations
of the patented devices, if available, were taken from the U. S.
Patent Office Official Gazette for United States patents.

All report entries are serialized.  Each section has its own number
series starting with entry number one and each section entry serial
number is preceeded by a letter which designates the section:  S,
oil spill events; C, citation from the literature; R, research pro-
ject; P, patent.  In subsequent reports the number series will con-
tinue.  Many of the included entries will fit under more than one
topic.  Therefore, a topic cross index list is provided at the end
of the report.  Following the summary are listed any other topics
which apply to the entry.

identification of oil pollution sources is possible.  An analysis
was made on weathered and unweathered oil by low voltage mass

spectroscopy (naphthenes), gas chromatography (n_-paraffins),

    (CEQ) Report "OCS Oil and Gas—An Environmental Assessment."
    It summarizes the CEQ report's assessment of potential environmental
    risks of drilling along the Atlantic coast and the Gulf of Alaska.
    The significance of baseline studies and basic research is
    emphasized in the CEQ's report.

    OIL AND TROUBLE IN THE LOUISIANA WETLANDS

    Futrell, W.  1974.
    Sierra Club Bulletin 59(7):14-16.

    Conservationists feel that the Louisiana gulf coast environment is
    being stressed to the limit by oil  operations.  Two important stress
    factors cited are the construction  of onshore oil  support facilities
    and the cumulative effect of numerous small  oil  spills.  The federal
    regulatory agencies are charged first with neglect and finally with
    protecting rather than regulating the oil industry.

    OVER $8 MILLION IN POLLUTION FINES HAVE BEEN ASSESSED BY EPA

    Since its formation in 1970 EPA has initiated action in 567
    cases of violation of water pollution control laws.   Of these
    567 actions, 440 were oil  spill cases.   After acceptance of
    aerial and NASA space photos as valid documentary evidence
    testimony by an Illinois court, EPA began intensive work
    developing a remote sensing program to detect pollution.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COLLECTING A FLOATING  LIQUID

Kirk, W.  P. and D. W. Reynolds

U. S. Patent No. 3,788,079

A membrane sheet with a weighted periphery  is described that can
be rapidly placed over spilled oil or unwanted  liquid floating
on water.   Radial inward movement of the membrane  and further
sinking of the periphery concentrate the unwanted  liquid where
it may be pumped off.
