A Phillips 66 refinery has temporarily shut down operations at a dock in Rodeo as authorities investigate a pair of oil sheens that appeared recently in northern San Pablo Bay, officials said Thursday.
The oil sheens have not been seen in the waters since Wednesday afternoon. Officials have yet to determine the source of the oil, according to a statement from a Joint Unified Command team created for the incident.
The team includes the U.S. Coast Guard, the California Department of Fish & Wildlife’s Office of Spill Prevention and Response, Contra Costa County’s Hazardous Materials Department and Phillips 66, as well as workers from the National Response Center and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District.
Operations at the Phillips 66 refinery’s marine terminal in Rodeo have been shut down since Wednesday.
