On January 18, 2010, during work on a sunken tug in the wet basin of the former Quincy Shipyard, there was a release of 50 to 200 gallons of diesel fuel. USCG personnel responded on scene. The owner (RDA) has taken responsibility and is responding to the release. NOAA has provided verbal support and stands by if more support is necessary. Neither the neighboring wetlands nor any water fowl have been reported as impacted.
