Spill incidents

Oil sheen on rocky shore.
We receive more than 4,000 spill reports each year. With a wide variety of oil spill and hazardous material incident reports, no two emergency responses are alike. We provide information on many of our coordinated response efforts for active and past oil spills, toxic and hazardous materials incidents, and related cleanup efforts. Each incident page includes maps, pictures, response details, and cleanup information, when available.
