VFPA has had environmental professionals monitoring the DP3 site on a regular basis to assess the spill incident area and surrounding shoreline. Field observations conducted to date have confirmed that no fish or wildlife (including coastal seabirds and waterfowl) have been affected by the incident. Scuba divers have conducted subtidal survey assessments which indicate that no oil is present on the seabed. It has been confirmed that the hydraulic oil used in the densification probe was Esso UNIVIS BIO 40.

VFPA has confirmed that the hydraulic oil used in the densification probe was a non-toxic biodegradable vegetable-based oil. No further emulsified oil or oil sheen has been observed at the project site as of March 4 at 15:00 hours and clean-up efforts have been scaled back. No fish or wildlife, including shorebirds and waterfowl, have been affected by the small volume hydraulic oil release.
