Hurricane Sandy Diesel Spill

A view of the Arthur Kill waterway to the Outerbridge Crossing from Staten Island, N.Y., right; to New Jersey. An oil sheen in the water comes from an estimated 336,000 gallon diesel spill from the Motiva Enterprises Terminal at Sewaren, N.J., top left. At least two tanks at the facility, a joint venture of Royal Dutch Shell and Saudi Aramco, were damaged in the wake of Hurricane Sandy and leaked into Woodbridge Creek. The facility has a capacity of 5 million gallons of refined petroleum products. The United States Coast Guard assisted with clean up and recovery. The skyline of Manhattan is at far top right.
