Oil sheen discovered in Callahan Bayou at the ExxonMobil Baton Rouge Refinery on January 15, 2013. The current LPDES permit, effective October 2012 (LA0005584, Part1, Page 5 of 5) states "There shall be no visible sheen or stain attributable to this discharge in the drainage area downstream from the permitted outfall. The drainage area downstream is defined as the area in the outfall canal located downstream of any control device, prior to entering the main channel of the Mississippi River."
All material was contained within the last containment boom prior entering into the Mississippi River. After further evaluation, we have determined that no reportable quantities were exceeded. Approximately 1 pint of diesel was release into Callahan Bayou.
