Narrative
On may 16th, 2013 a barge owned by saratoga resources "spud-ed" down into the 6'' pipeline owned by harvest-marks pipeline, llc. The area of penetration occurred along a water bank known as denesse pass / emilline pass. The water depth at the time of the incident was 1-2'. (navd 88). The barge has an approximate draft of 4'. The spud penetrated soil cover, thus puncturing the 6" pipeline and causing a hole approximately 3in by 2.5in in size, thereby releasing crude oil into the adjacent waterway and embankment. The spud has a "spearhead" finish. The pipeline originates from saratoga resources tank battery 12 facility, and terminates at harvest-marks pipeline's grand bay receiving station facility.
