Underwater, the divers noticed small oil droplets near the damaged section of the pipeline, which since the spill has been wrapped in a material called Syntho-Glass. The divers removed the wrap and replaced it with a new one, officials said Sunday.
A day after an oil sheen was spotted off Huntington Beach, authorities believed they had identified and contained the source: a leak from the damaged area of a pipeline that ruptured in October, spilling an estimated 25,000 gallons of oil into the Pacific.
The pipeline has been shut down and no oil has flowed through it since the Oct. 2 spill, Laughlin said. The oil spotted underwater Saturday was “likely residual,” he said.It appears the new wrap has prevented any additional leaks, Laughlin said. U.S. Coast Guard and Fish and Wildlife officials flew over the site in a helicopter just before sundown Saturday and again Sunday morning and did not see any sheen on the water, leading them to believe the sheen dissipated on its own, Laughlin said.
Orange County Supervisor Katrina Foley said Saturday that repeated issues with oil seepage in the waters off Huntington Beach were damaging the city’s reputation as a tourism destination. , eventually causing it to rupture. Last week, Coast Guard officers boarded a ship in Long Beach and designated its owners “parties of interest” in its investigation into the spill. Braden Rostad, the Coast Guard’s chief of investigations for Los Angeles and Long Beach, said the container vessel, the Beijing, was involved in an anchor-dragging incident in January.
