Fuel Spill Survey, International Airport Luis Muñoz Marín

Our Puerto Rico team (Geo-Marine Puerto Rico LLC) was contracted to conduct a damage assessment of a Jet Propellant-5 (JP-5) fuel spill damage assessment at International Airport Luis Muñoz Marín intially reported on 25 March 2008. The objectives of the damage assessment were to (1) determine the horizontal extent of contamination within the mangrove and associated habitats; and (2) document exposure and/or injuries to natural resources resulting from the leak.

Damage Assessment and Restoration Plan/EA for the JP-5 Fuel Spill

GMI prepared a Damage Assessment Restoration Plan/Environmental Assessment (DARP/EA) for mangrove and seagrass communities damaged during a 110,000-gallon Jet Propellant-5 (JP-5) fuel spill at Naval Station Roosevelt Roads in Cieba, Puerto Rico on 19 October 1999. The DARP/EA, prepared in accordance with multiple regulations (Council of Environmental Quality regulations, National Environmental Policy Act, U.S. Navy Environmental and Natural Resources Program Manual), was based on the final Injury Report summarizing three years of wetland monitoring. The content of the DARP/EA included a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) analysis on all alternatives based on information from the 25-26 October 2001 Natural Resources Damage Assessment (NRDA) meeting.
