Diesel Spill in the Port of Long Beach

Early Monday about 700 gallons of diesel fuel were spilled into Long Beach Harbor at Tesoro Terminal. According to the US Coast Guard, the spill took place at Berth 84A and happened during a transfer from a tanker.
Floating booms surrounded the spill in an effort to contain the oil while crews planned a cleanup technique. The Coast Guard, the California Department of Fish and Game, and the vessel’s emergency response management company  banded together to begin to clean up the oil.
