7,700 Gallons of Oil Spilled from Phillips 66 Refinery in NJ

Enviroment

Some 7,700 gallons of fuel
spilled from Phillips 66’s 238,000 barrels-per-day

Bayway refinery in Linden, New Jersey, after Hurricane Sandy
struck the U.S. East Coast a week ago, the U.S. Coast Guard said
on Monday.

The refinery, a major gasoline producer in the region, was
shut ahead of Sandy and remained idle even though electrical
power was restored to the plant earlier last week. The company
has not commented on operations on Monday.

The Coast Guard also said it recovered 780,000 gallons of an
oil-water mixture from Kinder Morgan’s Perth Amboy, New
Jersey, fuel storage terminal.

    And when the next ‘Sandy’ is a category 5?

    Why don’t they just say 183 barrels?

    Oh right, 7,700 gallons is a bigger number.

    Stupid.
