At approximately 0900, BAE Environmental was contacted by BAE Ship Sup to report the discharge of hydraulic fluid into San Diego Bay, outside of the oil boom surrounding a US Navy vessel docked on Pier 4 south. Ships Force was closing the stern door when an estimated 6-oz of fluid was lost. A grey, diffuse sheen, approximately 20ft x 30ft was observed in the Bay. The US Navy personnel indicated it was likely fluid that had collected when the stern door was worked on while in dry dock, and not from a new failure. By 0930, BAE Environmental and BAE Facilties had entered the water to assess the sheen and deploy an absorbent boom; however, the boom was not deployed as the sheen was not recoverable. The NRC (Report #1338372), CalOES (Report #22-3311), and local Coast Guard were notified. |

At approximately 0900 on Thursday 07 April 2022, BAE Environmental was notified by a Ship Sup of discharge of waste abrasive blast media and paint chips into the San Diego Bay from Pier 1 South. US Navy personnel were sweeping on the inside of the ship at the Caley Davit Panel door area on the 01 level starboard side. Approximately 10lbs of copper slag/abrasive blast media with paint chips was swept into the Bay. The build up of the waste blast media was determined to be left by a subcontractor after their blast work on the freeboard (completed 2/21/22). A verbal request was made to that subcontractor in February to clean all davit troughs; however, the subcontractor stated they had thoroughly cleaned the port side trough but were unaware of the issue on the starboard side. |

At approximately 11:30a on Thursday 03 March 2022, the submergence of a marine vessel was reported to BAE Environmental. A two-person boat outfitted with a 4-stroke outboard motor owned by a subcontractor was tied to the quay wall south of Pier 4. The lowering water level from the ebbing tide caused the vessel to hang from its line tied to the pier, enabling inundation. A release of approximately 1-gallon of gasoline occurred, the boat and engine were recovered from the bay. Notifications were made to NRC (#1330156) and CalOES (#22-1226), and the local US Coast Guard called the Environmental Hotline to request additional information. No agency representatives visited the site of the incident. The boat was unoccupied at the time of the submergence, and there were no reported injuries. Due to windy weather conditions, recovery of the sheen was not possible. |

On Tuesday August 24, 2021 at 09:40, BAE Environmental Department was notified of a discharge of green fluid from the US Navy vessel docked on the north side of Pier 4 into the San Diego Bay. The discharge originated from the starboard side of the vessel forward of the quarterdeck. BAE Environmental Technician arrived on site, where by then, the discharge had stopped; however, the water surrounding the ship both inside and outside of the oil boom was a bright green color, extending 200 ft x 40 ft area. The CHENG, BAE Ship Sup, and Environmental Specialists arrived on the ship and inspected interior spaces for evidence of spills/leaks/discharges, but none were identified. Ship's force were directed by CHENG to inspect additional spaces. According to the CHENG, chill water systems were tagged out and the Navy was not replacing valves. By 10:15a, the dye had dissipated. Ship's force estimates a total discharge volume of 10 gallons. |

At 09:55a on Monday 9/20/2021, BAE Ship Sup observed a discharge of fluid from the port side of the US Navy vessel docked on the north side of Pier 4. BAE Environmental was notified at 10:05a and arrived on-site to find a 25 ft x 50 ft oily sheen in San Diego Bay between the port side of the vessel and the surrounding oil boom. No oil/sheen was observed escaping from the boom. According to SWRMC Safety, fluid from deck drains collected into Waste Water Drain Collecting tank in Main 1, and the pump associated with it was not tagged out. Sailors working in Main 1 bumped into a control panel, turning on the pump, which caused it to discharge through a drain at Frame 200. The flow into the Bay was observed to be intermittent, but continued for several minutes before the pump was stopped. The CHENG (that day's CDO) and EDO conducted the investigation within the ship to identify source. BAE Environmental deployed white hydrophobic pads to collect the floating oil. Verbal notifications of the incident were made to the NRC (#1317351) and CalOES (#21-5145), and the local Coast Guard called BAE Environmental for more information after the NRC report was filed. |

At 7:15 am Ship's Force contacted PMO after discovering a sheen around the US Navy vessel docked on the north side of Pier 4. Upon investigation by the Environmental Technician and Safety Technician, the oil was determined to be fully contained and only within the boom of the US Navy vessel. The Environmental Manager was contacted at 8:54 am to report the sheen as technicians prepared for a water response by deploying absorbent pads and securing an opening in the boom where a small amount of oil was escaping. All notifications were made to the National Response Center, California Office of Emergency Services and the Coast Guard. It was determined that approximately 5 to 15 gallons of oil was discharged based upon the amount of oil absorbing quickly into the deployed pads. The ship was thoroughly investigated for any source of discharge, and a sample of the oil was taken for visual and laboratory analysis. The local United States Coast Guard office and Department of Fish and Wildlife were contacted later in the evening to update on spill response measures, and neither deemed a site visit necessary. An update to the CalOES report was made as required. |

At 09:30a on Friday 4/30/2021, BAE Environmental Technician observed blast media in San Diego Bay while in a small boat conducting an investigation on an unrelated discharge. Upon further investigation, it was found that the scaffolding subcontractor was removing scaffolding around the aft mast of a US Navy vessel. Containment and scaffolding had been put in place by the scaffolding subcontractor so the preservation subcontractor could blast and paint both the forward and aft masts. Deconstruction inspections for both containments were not called by either subcontractor prior to the removal of the containment and scaffolding. Blast media was released during the deconstruction, and an unknown quantity entered San Diego Bay between Pier 1 and the north side of the Pride of San Diego dry dock. The area impacted was 50' x 200' and was covered by a thin film of fine blast media. |

At approximately 13:50 on Tuesday 26 January 2021, BAE Environmental received a report of green dyed chill water being discharged by the USN Vessel from the starboard side of the ship. The fluid entered the San Diego Bay between the ship and the oil boom, however, some dye began diffusing into the water outside of the boom. BAE Environmental arrived on the ship at approximately 14:00, and spoke with ship's force. According to the MPA, a system onboard the ship used to transfer potable water was put back online following repair, but there was a leak around the dye cup used to dye chill water, enabling some dye to enter water as it refilled the system. The fluid then discharged through an outlet on the starboard side of the ship, leaving a bright green discoloration in the Bay. No intended discharge of any type (potable water, chill water) from the USN Vessel was communicated with the Environmental Department prior to this incident. |

On January 12, 2021, an unknown amount of back flow of water from the launch washed onto F-Lane (between F-12 and F-14) and drained back into the Bay possibly taking NASSCO containments (industrial activity dust and particulates) with it into the bay. A light gray dust sheen was observed on surface waters, however, the dust could not be recovered as it dissipated quickly and due to the ongoing launch evolution activities. NASSCO Environmental, Facilities and General Services immediately dispatched the pump truck and began pumping the excess flood water at the F-Lane into the pump truck holding tank to prevent further discharge. The incident is a prohibited discharge under NASSCO's NPDES permit. However, the discharge did not exceed a Reportable Quantity (RQ) and did not endanger health or the environment. The spill was a result of the back flow from the T-AO 1 launch at WAYS 3. The flood water backwash extended beyond the expected WAYS 3 flooding areas extending to the F-Lane laydown areas that were not cleaned which resulted dust sheen. All the areas beyond WAYS 3 (adjacent laydown areas) that had the potential to flood and backwash could not be identified earlier as this was a new hull class (new ship type). |

December 2, 2020 at 0816 hrs. NASSCO Security was notified of an abrasive blast media discharge to the San Diego Bay from a subcontractor¿s (IMIA) abrasive blasting operation at Berth 4. IMIA failed to install screens on their vacuum lines prior to using the vacuums to remove spent blast media from their work area. This caused trash and debris to be vacuumed into the vacuum bottle and partially obstructing the valve. IMIA employees failed to secure the valve while attempting to remove the obstruction allowing spent blast media to spill into and overflowing the secondary containment onto the pier and into San Diego Bay causing approximately a 100 ft. x 180 ft. surface dust layer. IMIA employees cleaned up the spent blast media from the pier, however; the spent blast media in the Bay could not be recovered. |

While working on removing the cofferdam, sparks from R.E. Staite's (RES) operations were seen going into San Diego Bay. The amount of material carried to the water could not be determined. Environmental Engineering determined that, due to the material being slag from welding, it was not recoverable. The release resulted from welding operations from R.E. Staite working on the cofferdam. The incident is a prohibited discharge under NASSCO's NPDES permit. However, the discharge did not exceed a Reportable Quantity (RQ) and did not endanger health or the environment. |

Unauthorized Discharge |
At approximately 11:00 am on 8/10/2020, BAE Environmental Technician was conducting a dry dock submergence inspection when he saw an open 4 inch hose intermittently discharge CHT water into the bay. The dock crew was immediately notified and the system was secured. The 4 inch hose was not capped due to the cap being broken which is a secondary safeguard from a discharge to the bay. It was soon after discovered that a CHT check valve had also failed which allowed CHT into the disconnected hose. The open ended hose that was hanging over the bay from the hose barge was intermittently discharging CHT into the bay as the pumps activated. The dock crew placed a Damage Control plug into the end of the 4 inch hose to stop any additional discharge from continuing. |

Incident Summary: On August 17, 2020, metal grinding debris was observed going into the Bay (riprap) from a facilities improvement project at Berth 8. Pacific Rim (a subcontractor to NASSCO) employees were cutting a metal space bar fence without secondary containment to prevent metal shavings from going into the riprap. NASSCO environmental engineering personnel notified the supervisor of Pacific Rim who immediately stopped the cutting activities to consult with Pacific Rim employees. The amount of metal shavings could not be estimated or recovered. The incident is a prohibited discharge under NASSCO''s NPDES permit. However, the discharge did not exceed a Reportable Quantity (RQ) and did not endanger health or the environment. |

Unauthorized Discharge |
BAE Environmental Technician was notified that TKS was discharging blast media into the Bay while removing scaffolding around a USN Vessel sonar dome. Both the plastic/visqueen surrounding the scaffolding and the Flexifloat had been removed, and there was no overwater protection. A documented containment inspection of this space had not occurred prior to tear-down of the containment. The discharged media was unrecoverable but was visible in the water, covering an area of approximately 40'''' x 150''''. A combination of garnet and steel shot had collected on the plywood on the bottom level of the scaffolding as the scaffolding pieces were removed. |

Unauthorized Discharge |
Several YYK employees were observed using an air hose to blow dust off of themselves after exiting a work area on a USN Vessel. Windy conditions enabled airborne dust to exit the USN Vessel basin and enter San Diego Bay. Simultaneously, a red blasting unit on the USN Vessel basin was observed periodically puffing visible dust, typically indicative of a clogged filter. |
