Shore Treatment Methods:
Natural Attenuation Monitored:
Treatment Information: At the time, a flat expanse of sea ice covered all of the bay and closely spaced blocks of ice existed over most of the intertidal zone. Almost all of the oil was contained by the ice so that we were able eventually to dispose of the spill completely. This was accomplished mainly by burning the oil, either after it had been pumped on to the sea ice or where it was contained by the nearshore ice.
