The tug crew could not extinguish the engine room fire and had to abandon ship, leaving the tug and the barge carrying 4 million gallons of home heating oil (# 2 fuel) drifting in a severe winter storm. Heavy winds pushed the burning tug onto Moonstone Beach, and the barge hit Nebraska Shoal about 200 yards offshore in 18 feet of water. On the evening of January 19 the damaged single hull barge began leaking what eventually would total 828,000 gallons of #2 fuel oil into Rhode Island's coastal waters. The oil quickly spread onto barrier beaches and into coastal ponds resulting in the worst oil spill disaster in the State's history. On January 20, the EPA Office of Environmental Measurement and Evaluation (OEME) was asked to assist the EPA Response Coordinators. OEME sampling and laboratory crews immediately began mobilizing for the spill. The OEME sampling crew arrived at the response Command Center in Galilee, Rl on January 21, and departed the site on January 28. The following agencies were also involved in the initial response sampling: EPA Environmental Research Laboratory (Narragansett), Atlantic Ecology Division; EPA Environmental Response Team (ERT); United States Fish and Wildlife; Rhode Island Fish and Wildlife; Moonstone Oysters Company; and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Data from samples collected by these agencies and analyzed by OEME are included in this report. RESULTS A total of 167 samples were analyzed for this report. The sample matrices included water, sediment, lobsters and oysters. Tables 1 through 6 provide the sampling locations, dates and times of sampling, and analytical results. Separate tables are presented for each agency that collected samples and the agency is identified at the top of each table. The locations of all samples analyzed by EPA, New England, OEME are shown on Maps 1 through 5, except for a sample collected from a seafood market. The ambient aqueous sample locations and their fuel oil concentrations are presented on the maps. The sediment samples were collected at the same locations as the water samples on Map 5. The associated sediment concentrations are shown on Table 5. The sampling information and fuel oil concentrations for the lobster tank, lobsters, and oyster samples are shown in Tables 1 and 6. ------- Repeat sampling of a number of locations was conducted on different days to gather comparative data for assessing the change in environmental conditions over time. The locational data for each sampling station (latitude and longitude) were collected and are included in the attached tables. These data were used to plot sampling locations on the attached maps. The participating agencies used different methods to collect locational data. These methods included global positioning system (GPS), Loran, and NOAA charts. The method used is specified on each table. SAMPLE COLLECTION EPA/Region l/QEME, Lexington, MA OEME, with assistance from the EPA Response Coordinators, collected 53 water samples during January 22 - 28. Samples were not collected on January 24 and 27 because of stormy weather and rough seas. EPA Region I, New England used a 22 foot and 13 foot Boston Whaler for sampling. When OEME personnel arrived at a sampling site the boat was anchored and the engines were shut off. The site location was determined using GPS. Salinity, temperature, and conductivity measurements were made using calibrated field instruments at selected sites. These data are presented in Table 2. In addition, surface water samples were collected at 34 sites. At most sites two samples were collected, one at 5-15 cm below the water surface, and a depth sample at approximately 0.5 meters above the bottom. All samples were preserved with sulfuric acid to a pH < 2 within 4 hours of the sample being collected. OEME's chain of custody procedures were followed for all samples. The analytical results for the surface samples are presented on Table 1 and Map 1. The depth samples are presented on Table 1 and Map 2. The GPS locational data collected at each site was differentially corrected using data from OEME's GPS base station at Lexington MA. Accuracy of the post-processed GPS data is 2 - 5 meters. On January 25, a water sample was collected from a lobster tank inside Champlain's Seafood Market at 256 Great Island Road in Point Judith, Rl. The market pumps water from Galilee Harbor through the lobster tank and discharges it back to the harbor. The sampling information and analytical result are presented in Table 1. ------- EPA Atlantic Ecology Division. Narraaansett. Rl The EPA Atlantic Ecology Division collected a total of 36 water samples from the long island sound for #2 fuel oil analysis by OEME. Four samples were collected by the research vessel "Cyprindon", fifteen samples were collected by the "Capt. Bert Cruise" and seventeen samples were collected by staff on board the NOAA Vessel "Albatross IV". The results are presented in Table 3 and Map 3. EPA Emergency Response TeamfERTV Edison. NJ ERT collected 14 water samples for #2 fuel oil analysis by OEME. Four samples were collected on January 22, in the Point Judith Harbor of Refuge. Eight samples were collected on January 26, off Moonstone Beach. The results of ERT sampling are presented in Table 4 and Map 4. U.S. Fish and Wildlife. Concord. NH U.S. Fish and Wildlife collected 46 samples for #2 fuel oil analysis by OEME. Water and sediment samples were collected at 23 stations. The samples were collected in the coastal salt water ponds from west to east, starting at Winnapaug Pond on January 23, and ending in Point Judith Pond on January 26. The analytical results from the U. S. Fish and Wildlife sampling are presented in Table 5 and Map 5. Rl Fish and Wildlife. Jerusalem. Rl On Saturday, January 20, Rl Fish and Wildlife collected 19 whole lobsters which had washed up on Moonstone Beach. On January 20, these samples were transferred to EPA personnel in Galilee, Rl for #2 fuel oil analysis. The sample preparation is discussed below. Table 6 contains the analytical results for these samples. Map 1 shows the location of the collected samples. Moonstone Oyster Company. Galilee. Rl On the morning of January 21, the Moonstone Oyster Company collected 6 common oysters (Crassostera virginica) from Its company's aquaculture site located between Plato Island and Ram Island. The oysters were collected from cages located on the bottom of the ocean floor. On January 22, a representative from Moonstone Oysters relinquished the oysters to EPA personnel in Galilee, Rl. The sample preparation is discussed below. Table 6 presents the analytical results for the oysters and Map 1 shows the location of the collected samples. ------- LOBSTER AND OYSTER SAMPLE PREPARATIONS On January 20, at 11:45 p.m. the OEME laboratory received 19 whole lobster samples collected by Rl Fish and Wildlife. On Sunday, January 21, at 7:00 a.m. the conditions of the lobsters were as follows: one was dead (had a small crack in the carapace, but the membrane lining was intact); 10 lobsters did not respond to external stimuli; 8 lobsters were alive. The lobsters were prepared for analysis as follows: The external dorsal exoskeleton of each lobster was wiped using filter paper soaked with methylene chloride. The ventral portions were excluded. All lobster samples were homogenized using a blender with a precleaned glass bowl and stainless steel blades. Whole lobsters were homogenized for samples 54947, 54948, 54952, and 54953. Samples 54947 and 54948 were individual lobsters. Samples 54952 and 54953 were composites of two and ten whole lobsters respectively. Sample 54949 was a composite sample containing three lobster tails including their exoskeleton. Sample 54946 was comprised of the tail meat from the two largest lobsters. Gills and the thoracic tissue were also composited from these 2 lobsters for sample 54945. On January 23, OEME laboratory received 6 oysters collected by Moonstone Oysters Company. They were opened with a precleaned stainless steel oyster knife and all soft tissue was removed, combined and homogenized for analysis. A precleaned glass blender with stainless steel blades was used to homogenize the sample. No detectable concentration of number 2 fuel oil was found in the composite sample. OEME LABORATORY AND ANALYTICAL PROCEDURES Except for the lobsters and oysters, chain of custody documentation accompanied all samples delivered to the OEME laboratory. Upon arrival at the laboratory all samples were recorded in accordance with OEME's chain of custody procedures. The holding times were met for all samples. The maximum allowable holding times for sample extraction are 7 days for aqueous and tissue (lobster and oyster) samples and 14 days for sediment. After extraction the holding time is 40 days for the extract. The majority of the samples were extracted within 24 hours of delivery to OEME's Laboratory. The analytical procedure used for the aqueous samples was the OEME's Low Level Method for #2 Fuel Oil/Diesel in Aqueous Samples. The reference methods for the extraction were EPA RCRA method 3510B, Liquid Extraction by Separatory Funnel ------- method and EPA method 610 (July, 1982), Test Method For Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons. Processing of the sediment samples was done using the EPA Consensus Protocol, Organic Analysis, Multi-Media, Multi-Concentration, Low Level Preparation for Screening and Analysis of Semivolatiles, (EPA CLP method OLM01.2, January, 1991). The sample extracts were cleaned using silica gel/alumina column chromatography prior to the gas chromatography analysis. The analytical procedures used for the tissue samples, were the Sampling and Analytical Methods of National Status Trends Program, (NOAA AOS ORCA 71, July, 1993) and the Ultrasonic Extraction Method (RCRA method 3550A). Extracts were cleaned using silica gel/alumina column chromatography prior to the gas chromatography analysis. The extracts were analyzed on a Hewlett Packard 5890 gas chromatograph equipped with a J&W DB-1, 30 meter and 0.32 millimeters inside diameter capillary column. Target compounds were detected by a flame ionization detector. The quantitation was based on a six point calibration with concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 5.0 mg/ml. The eleven major hydrocarbon peaks found in #2 fuel oil range from C-12 through C- 22 and were used in the calibration group. The retention times for these eleven major peaks bracketed the entire range of hydrocarbons found in #2 fuel oil. The final concentrations were calculated by using the average of the eleven peaks. This eliminated any false positive or negative results caused by weathering. A visual comparison of the sample chromatogram against a #2 fuel oil standard provided a qualitative analysis. ------- Table 1 EPA OEME Sampling Data "North Cape" Barge Oil Spill, Rl |Sampling Location | Date Latitude Longitude Surface ID Time #2 Fuel Oil Depth Depth ID Time #2 Fuel Oil Deg|Min | Sec Deg|Min | Sec (OEME#) (EST) (PPm) (meters) (OEME#) (EST) (ppm) GPS PT Judith Pond by GC"1" 01/22/96 41 23 3.6 71 30 30.1 05431T 1125 0.34 4.0 05431B 1125 0.27 PT Judith Pond NE of Beef Island 01/22/96 41 23 55.0 71 30 40.9 05432T 1210 0.14 2.6 05432B 1210 0.20 PT Judith Pond, Turner Cove 01/22/96 41 24 19.9 71 30 36.7 05433T 1225 0.14 2.0 05433B 1225 0.20 S of Beach Is.
