On March 31, 2016, U.S. Coast Guard officials initiated an investigation and cleanup operation in Los Angeles Harbor following the second oil spill reported in the month. This incident took place at the Vopak Terminal located near Wilmington, where an oil-water mixture was detected emanating from a dockside holding tank around 11 a.m. Coast Guard Petty Officer 1st Class Sondra-Kay Kneen described the situation, stating, "Most of it is on the pier, and what did enter the water was an oily water mixture." The Coast Guard, alongside oil spill response teams from the National Response Corp., Ocean Blue, and Patriot Environmental, promptly responded to the spill. Cleanup crews utilized oil skimmers, absorbent pads, and set up a containment boom around the tanker ship TULA to help limit the spread of pollutants.
