Order Conditions |
On 10/14/24, approximately 2,000 gallons of seawater from the BAS Gulf System that had been treated with copper (cupramine) discharged into the storm water conveyance system at BAS when there was an overflow from a degas/biological filtration tower in the Life Support System. The overflow was caused by an airlock from a backup at the Non-Indigenous Species (NIS) treatment system. The issue was promptly addressed upon discovery. The storm water conveyance system at BAS ultimately discharges to Outfall 001. |

Order Conditions |
On Tuesday August 20 at 1100 hours, the Environmental Department received a phone call from Operations Department of a notable discharge of paint chips and spent abrasive media floating on the surface of the water near the USS JOHN P MURTHA stern gate. A cloudy dust sheen approximately 50 ft x 50 ft was observed against the floating boom between the barge off the stern gate and ship¿s force living barge. Upon further investigation onboard the ship, a loud sound of pressurized air was heard and SubK IMIA personnel were observed using pressurized air to clean a fan compartment (or wheel) contaminated with spent media, paint chips, and other debris causing a visible dust cloud that discharged contaminants into San Diego Bay. Employees were immediately instructed to turn off the air, stop work, and reevaluate their task to prevent impact to the environment. The dust sheen was concentrated against the ship¿s living barge boom and then migrated and dispersed east and north underneath the POCA wharf. The discharge could not feasibly be cleaned due to the small particle size of the contaminants and quick wind dispersion of the material and was deemed unrecoverable by Environmental personnel. |

On August 2, 2024, at approximately 0230 an unknown amount of JP-5 reached the Bay from the USNS Robert F. Kennedy (574). A sheen in San Diego Bay was reported at approximately 6:00 am, Environmental Engineering and NASSCO Fire Department responded to the incident. Responders observed a sheen within the vessel's containment boom. NASSCO's Waterfront Services did not observe any sheen outside of the containment boom. The spill occurred during a fuel transfer, when a tank was over filled due to an open valve causing material to come out of a tank vent, onto the vessel deck, and out a deck drain. |

Due to increased turbidity and/or the potential for matrix interferences from the storm water, samples for some constituents were diluted by the laboratory prior to analysis for Outfall 002 (storm water). This raised the Method Detection Limits (MDLs) and Reporting Limits (RLs) for these samples. As a result, the MDLs and RLs for some of the constituents analyzed for the Outfall 002 samples exceeded Ocean Plan Minimum Levels and/or Performance Goals. |

Quarterly sampling for total dissolved solids (TDS) was conducted on 1/3/24 for RSW-002b and sample analysis commenced on 1/4/24, which was within the Standard Method 2540C allowable holding time of seven days. However, the sample for RSW-002b was inadvertently discarded prior to completion of analysis. Due to a laboratory error, RSW-002b was not resampled, rather the original sample collected on 1/3/24 was mistakenly reanalyzed after the 7-day holding time had expired (1/17/24). Although the TDS sample for RSW-002b was analyzed past the allowable holding time, the data result was comparable to historical data at this location. |

On Wednesday 11/29/23 at 13:30 Operations Supervisor notified Environmental that approximately 5 gallons of hydroblast water contaminated with paint chips was discharged from the from the port side scupper of the forecastle of a USS Navy Ship. A subcontractor was conducting non-skid removal on the deck, the unit lost suction due to an uneven surface and the water poured out from the collection hose, onto the deck and through the scupper. The scupper was not protected or blanked. Work was halted until the scuppers on both sides of the deck were sufficiently blanked and sealed. Work did not commence until an containment inspection was called out and approval was obtained from Environmental Dept. The paint chips were unrecoverable due to the location of the spill. A boat could not easily access the area to assist with getting the Jellyfishbot inside the hard oil boom around the ship. |

On Friday 12/15/23 Environmental got a call from Ship's Force onboard the USS Navy Ship regarding a discharge of paint chips noted within the boom of the ship. The Environmental technician told Ship's force to shut down any paint removal processes being conducted by the subcontractor until the Environmental Dept. could arrive to investigate. Upon investigation no obvious discharge location was found, but there were areas of built up paint chips and metal dust on the over water side of the containment within the exterior folds of the plastic. The containment was inadequate for the type of work (needle-gunning & hydroblasting) being performed. The subcontractor was approved to continue the paint removal effort as long as an employee with a broom and vacuum was working alongside the paint removal team to ensure paint chips were contained. Around 2 oz. of floating paint chips were recovered from inside the oil boom using the Jellyfishbot with a fine mesh collection bag. |

On June 29, 2023, NASSCO employees were performing pipe flushing operations onboard a vessel when a gasket on the fuel strainer (filter unit) failed, resulting in approximately 100 gallons of diesel fuel to spill onto the vessel deck. Responders used absorbent pads to keep the majority of the spill to the vessel deck. However, an unknown amount (estimated less than 2 gallons) of material leaked through a plugged deck drain and into San Diego Bay resulting in a sheen of 30' by 5' on the water surface. NASSCO employees immediately secured the source of the spill, placed absorbent pads and materials on the deck, and blocked all deck drains to prevent further discharge. NASSCO also contacted our OSRO who responded to place an absorbent boom into the Bay. This incident is an NPDES permit violation, NASSCO notified the following agencies: National Response Center, Office of Emergency Services, U.S. Coast Guard, and the Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB). |

On Wednesday July 20th, at 14:45, BAE Environmental received a call from the BAE Project Manager on a US Navy Vessel stating that during engine testing a sheen appeared in the water in the engine area inside the oil boom of the ship. All testing was shut down and the OEM team got into the boat with facilities and BAE ship supervisor to investigate. Initial volume was reported at 2 gallons of discharge from the engine hydraulic system to the San Diego Bay contained within the oil boom around the ship, upon investigation it was determined to be leakage from the hydraulic system from the open bay doors due to the vibration of the engines starting up. ‐ NRC (#1342076), CalOES (#22‐4128) and USCG. |

On Tuesday July 19th at 9:35, BAE Environmental received a call from the dock crew that an overwater sewage pipe had failed and was discharging sewage into San Diego Bay. This is an incident that requires reporting to regulatory agencies (2A). The flow lasted 10 minutes discharging approximately 100 gallons before the system could be pumped down. The dock crew immediately installed a temporary repair on the disconnected section of pipe so that sewer services could be continued. All notifications were made to NRC (#1341935) , CalOES (22-4096) and the USCG as required. Follow up inquiries were made by the Dept. of Environmental Health & Quality to determine if any beach closures would be required. Based on the small quantity of discharge it was determined no water testing or warning signs were required to be placed on the beaches at Coronado across the bay. |

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. |

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. |

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 Friday 1/28/2022 at 11:45a, BAE Environmental was notified of a discharge of paint chips off the starboard side of a US Navy vessel. US Navy personnel were conducting needle gunning activities that caused a release of paint chips into San Diego Bay. On the previous day (1/27/2022) ship's force needle gunning activities were shut down after they were observed working without a containment. A containment was constructed, but a breach of the containment floor enabled paint chips to escape the work space and impact surrounding areas. Paint chips impacted an area of San Diego Bay approximately 10' x 75', and were also observed on the pier fenders and Yokohamas. |

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. |

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 March 9, 2021 at approx. 1920 hrs., NASSCO Security was notified of a hydraulic oil spill to San Diego Bay from a Terex RT Crane located at the head of NASSCO¿s Pier 12. The crane at the pier accidentally rolled on its side causing ~0.8 gallons of oil to spill onto the deck of the pier from a hydraulic hose that ruptured during the crane incident* To safely recover the crane, NASSCO personnel disconnected a hydraulic hose in order to relieve the hydraulic oil pressure to the crane¿s boom cylinder, it was during this time at approx. 20:30 hrs,. that ~7-8 gallons of hydraulic oil was released onto the pier deck and ~1 gallon released to the San Diego Bay. NASSCO Fire, Environmental, and General Services responded and immediately started cleanup activities on the pier; however, in-water oil recovery operations could not be initiated due to low lighting. On March 10, 2021 during the follow investigation, a mixture oil and rain water was identified on the pier, a thin film oil sheen covering an area ~75ft x 120ft was also identified on the surface of the water in the San Diego Bay under and around the head of NASSCO¿s Pier 12. |

Surface Water |
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. |

An unknown amount of paint chips/debris and dust was spilled into the Bay when containment was removed from a sally port on the Floating Dry Dock. NASSCO Fire Department and Environmental responded and found paint chips floating in the Bay off the Port Side FWD end of the NASSCO Floater. The responsible party was identified however, material was not able to be recovered. The discharge occurred during the take down and replacement of the plastic secondary containment. 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. |

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. |

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. |
