INCIDENTS

89-365 - George Washington Parkway (Virginia) - Oil Spill

On the 20th, an oil spill occurred in Roaches Run Lagoon. The Park Police
and area fire and hazardous material units responded, and booms were placed
along the creek's outlet near Gravelly Point to contain the leak. The oil
is believed to have come from a sewer on the south side of the lagoon. As a
result of the incident, the southbound lane of the parkway was closed during
the evening rush hour. Clean-up operations were suspended at 6 p.m., then
continued the following day. The total amount of the spill was estimated at
between 25 and 100 gallons. (CompuServe message from Capt. Dave Blackburn,
RAD/NCRO, 10:45 EST, 12/21).
