Oil sheen seen in river south of town morning of 7/25

This morning at approximately 10am the City received a call about oil sheen in the Sacramento River. The City notified Cal Fish and Wildlife to investigate. Around 4pm Cal Fish and Wildlife notified the City that the Coast Guard in cooperation with Cal Fish and Wildlife, Envirocon, and Republic Services investigated and found one small amount of oil sheen in south Dunsmuir. It was determined by the Coast Guard as an isolated amount. It appears to be a spill from an individual and inconsistent with the sheen's that has previously been identified with the cleanup associated with the railyard. Special thanks to the community member for reporting this incident and to the Agencies on the ground in Dunsmuir for taking quick action to clean up the spill.
