Greenpoint oil spill (original) (raw)

About DBpedia

The Greenpoint oil spill is one of the largest oil spills ever recorded in the United States. Located around Newtown Creek in the Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York City, between 17 and 30 million US gallons (64,000 and 114,000 m3) of oil and petroleum products have leaked into the soil from crude oil processing facilities over a period of several decades. The spill was first noticed in 1978, and soil vapor tests were still reported as returning positive in 2008.

dbo:abstract Die Ölpest von Greenpoint ist ein Umweltschaden in New York City. Die industrielle Altlast ist auf den Betrieb von Ölraffinerien zurückzuführen. Das betroffene Gelände befindet sich in Greenpoint, einem Stadtteil im Norden Brooklyns. Als angrenzendes Oberflächengewässer ist ebenso der Newtown Creek betroffen. Der Betrieb von Ölraffinerien reicht bis in das 19. Jahrhundert zurück. Am 5. Oktober 1950 kam es zur Explosion einer Anlage. Man vermutet, dass insbesondere bei diesem Ereignis aus einem Tank eine beträchtliche Menge Öl freigesetzt wurde. Man geht von 17 Millionen Gallonen Öl aus. Während eines Überfluges bemerkte ein Hubschrauberpilot der Küstenwache am 29. September 1978 auf dem Newtown Creek einen Ölteppich. Das Öl trat aus einer Uferbefestigung an der Meeker Avenue aus.
