November 26, 2004 - The Greek oil tanker Athos I's hull was torn open on a piece
of pump casing while docking at the Citgo Petroleum refinery in West Deptford / Paulsboro, NJ
The tanker was carrying Venezuelan heavy crude which is
thick like peanut butter, and is used to make asphalt.

The oil slick ran 57 miles, from the Tacony-Palmyra Bridge to south of the Smyrna River in Delaware,
fouling 194 miles of shoreline. 5 miles are considered heavily oiled, and another 32 have medium oiling.
Nearly 157 miles have a very light to light sheen that is not recoverable.

473,500 gallons of heavy crude was spilled.
10,918 gallons of an oil / water mixture was recovered.

Two schools in northeastern Pennsylvania closed and at least 1,000 students were sent home
this week when an overpowering stench from a nearby landfill made it impossible to conduct
classes. Residents and students in Taylor, a borough on the Lackawanna River, complained
that the odor was making them ill. Two nearby garbage dumps, owned by Environmental and
Recycling Services Inc., accept hundreds of tons of trash daily, much of it from out of state.
