The Environmental Management Bureau (EMB) issued a cease and desist order to oil depot operators at Poro Point in San Fernando City after thousands of liters of oil leaked from the depot’s pipelines on Tuesday.

Joel Salvador, EMB regional director, said the leak occurred when MV Panglao was discharging oil into the pipelines of Chevron Philippines Inc. (CPI), one of the companies that share the depot. The two other companies are Shell and Petron.

CPI, in a statement on Thursday, said the spill occurred as the depot’s common receiving line sprung a leak while it was receiving diesel.

Salvador said the spill violated the Philippine Clean Air Act of 1999 (Republic Act No. 8749) and the depot operations should cease until a cleanup is completed and the pipelines are repaired.

Adamor Dagang, La Union information officer, said Gov. Manuel Ortega has ordered an investigation.

SAN FERNANDO CITY, La Union: A Chevron underwater fuel pipeline seeped while a ship was unloading its diesel oil cargo into the pipeline at San Fernando City Port in Poro Point yesterday, alarming residents here.

City Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) personnel Sally Medrano, who rushed to the scene with Acting City Mayor Herminigildo Gualberto, said this morning that they are still waiting for an official statement from Chevron Oil officials from Manila after calling them up yesterday.

“We are trying to contain an oil spill,” Medrano said in a telephone interview, and added that the CENRO, Department of Environment and Natural Resources-Region 1, the Philippine Coast Guard, Poro barangay officials and residents, helped each other yesterday in scooping oil that oozed as far as the shorelines of Sitios Tawi-Tawi and Banks to the Old Poro and Philex areas, all located along the Poro Point coastline.
