2 Harvest Pipeline Discharge Type and amount of product spilled: 85 bbls (estimate determined by correlating NRC reports & recovery amounts) / Crude Oil Corrosion on pipeline / failure of previously installed clamp Time & date of spill: 18 Feb 14; however, correlating reports dated back to November 2013 Harvest Pipeline Inc. IMD received report of mystery sheen ivo an abandoned platform. Conducted overflight and investigation for Responsible Party (RP). Opened FPN to secure source and conduct survey ops of line to identify RP. Source was ¼ inch crack on 8 inch pipeline, located 4ft above the mudline. Survey conducted identified 4 potential RPs; however, correlating PHMSA & LDNR records & Chevron Bill of Sale identified Harvest Pipeline Inc as RP. Conducted sampling of Harvest Facility and source with positive result. Harvest persistent they were not RP; however, conducted their own survey ops. After 1 month, Harvest assumed responsibility. Submitted repair plan and replaced /buried line. Major lessons learned: StatehasauthoritytoissueEmergencyOrder(EO).EO would be used to shut down/control facility ops. Recommend early and aggressive engagement with LDNR. PHMSA database technicians were great tool in confirming/identifying RP. 2

3 Type and amount of product spilled: Time & date of spill: 750 bbls / Bakken Crude Oil E2MS 303 Incident Collision between UTV LINDSAY ANN ERICSON and the barge ESMS303, which was being pushed by the UTV HANNAH C. SETTOON and carrying 25,000 bbls of bakken crude oil. 1430/ 22 Feb 14 Settoon Towing 750 bbls of bakken crude oil was discharged from barge E2MS303 into the LMR at MM 154. Barge E2MS303 sustained a fracture on its port side after the collision. The fracture affected one cargo tank which carried 4000 bbls of bakken crude oil. On the evening of 22 FEB and the morning of 23 FEB, Settoon lightered oil from the affected tanks, stopping the release of oil, reducing the likelihood of additional discharge, and stabilizing the barge. A Unified Command (UC) was established between Sec NOLA, LOSCO, Settoon, and ES&H (Spill Management Team). The UC coordinated continuous assessments by aircraft, vessel, and from the shoreline, restricted river traffic to various degrees from MM90 MM155, and initiated oil recovery operations, air monitoring, and the decontamination of vessels in the area. The incident response was concluded on 1 MAR, by which time the barge E2MS303 had been relocated to a barge cleaning facility, all recoverable oil was recovered, downriver water intakes were protected, all impacted vessels were decontaminated and officials from the State of Louisiana, the Coast Guard, and the Responsible Party deemed that response actions along the shorelines had been completed.

4 Type and amount of product spilled: Time/Date of spill: Responsible Party Major Lessons Learned: West Delta Block 83 Facility Discharge 30 bbls / Crude Oil Detached needle valve connected to a riser on a 6 flowline. The ¾ inch bushing that connected the needle valve and the riser became loose and disconnected. Both the needle valve and bushing were replaced. Between 1700 (08 Mar 14) and 0630 (09 Mar 14) Hilcorp IMD received the initial report of 15 bbl discharge, reported by the RP, in West Delta Block 83 from an unmanned facility in the field. OMI was hired as the OSRO to conduct recovery operations and Clean Gulf Associates responded with the M/V BRETON SOUND and M/V GRAND BAY. The facility produces approximately 120 bbls/day and the product is transported through the line between two facilities. Multiple RP and CG overflights were conducted to assess impact as well as teams conducted Shoreline Cleanup Assessment Technique (SCAT), examining 2.8 miles of marsh and shoreline. Overflights & SCAT identified multiple patches of recoverable product as well as a sheen 5 miles by 1 mile with 70% coverage (40% dark, 30% rainbow, and 30% silver). With the reports of on scene personnel, overflight results, SCAT assessments, and collected product, approximately 30 bbls of crude oil was discharged. RP significantly underreported the discharge during phone investigation. In addition, RP was slow to mobilize necessary equipment and required aggressive engagement by FOSCR

5 ONYX Pipeline Discharge Type and amount of product spilled: Unknown amount (10,000 bags recovered saturated sorbent pads/boom, vegetation) / Crude Oil Time/date of spill: 16 Mar 14 Leak from a buried pipeline ONYX Engineering Inc IMD received report from third party and conducted overflight and on scene investigation of area. Observed 100yd x 75yd circular shaped impacted area. Center of ring was heavily saturated with crude oil and suspected to be location of source. Contacted potential Responsible Parties in area. Apache Corp conducted survey ops and identified a pipeline of unknown ownership ivo discharge. Apache commenced clean up ops to remove contaminated debris and product. Samples were taken of Apache Facility and returned as a non match. Apache was not the RP; however, they continued to clean up area and recoup costs by RP (once identified). ONYX and Palm Energy conducted pressure test of their pipelines using colored dye. ONYX identified as RP and resumed clean up. Line was immediately shut in (produces approx 300 bbls/day). ONYX conducted survey of line and permanent repairs to the line.

6 RRT Activation: Type and amount of product spilled: Update Taylor Energy/ MC 20 Yes Crude Oil Time & date of spill: September 15, 2004 Subsea mud slide from Hurricane Ivan (2004) that toppled an offshore platform Taylor Energy The Taylor Energy Unified Command Risk Assessment and Cost Estimate Workshop was held on March. The workshop provided a chronology and synopsis of all studies and technical analysis performed related to the toppling and destruction of the MC 20 platform. Deployment of the containment dome system to meet the requirement of the admin order pends. Taylor is working with Keystone Engineering to develop a physically lighter dome system. Construction of dome pends. The FOSC reviewed and provided comment to the Risk Assessment and Cost Estimate report, conducted by Dr. Dagmar Etkin.
