longshot' Investigation Concludes With No Violation
imv'it iil'TTKH
The l'..S. Coa.'-t Oiiard iiive.stigation
of a shrimp boat that ran aground off
.Sunset Beacli \ug. 28 has closed with
no violations found.
I.l. .Anthony Wiest of the operations
division of the Coast Ciiiard's Marine
Safety Office in Wilmington said
"Longshot" owner 'Terry Norris will
not be fined for pollution violations.
Wiest .said no report of violation
was sent to the (Liard’s district office
in Portsmouth. \’a.. Iiecause "there
was no evidence of oil di.scharge."
Wiest added, however. ••'There pro
bably could have tieen a violation and
gather enough evidence.
"One of the problems we often
have with accidents such as this." he
continued, "is that by the time we get
there on the scene there is nothing
left."
Wiest added that the smell of die.sel
fuel which was noticeable after the
beaching could have come from
residuals which had .soaked into the
wooden planks of the boat.
At the lime of the accident. Chief
Petty Officer James Williams of the
Marine Safety Division had .said that
there were "siifficient elements for
violation" and that Norris could face
as much as a $5,000 pollution fine.
Wiest said there is no chance for
fine even though all fines are issued
from the district office. "Without a
report of violation, the district office
can’t levy a fine," he said.
The Coast (luard investigation
began Aug. '28 when the "Longshot"
ran aground about one-half mile we.st
of Sunset Beach Fishing Pier. The
boat was destroyed in the surf within
two days.
Norris, previously of Sunset l-akes,
could not be reached for comment.
