  "projectDescription": "On Saturday, June 24, 1989, the Presidente Rivera, a 749 foot Uruguayan tanker, ran aground in the Delaware River on Claymont Shoal, near Naamans Creek. The ship was carrying 18 million gallons of No. 6 fuel oil and was preparing to dock at the Sun Oil Company refinery in Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania. The grounding resulted in the opening of four if its 17 cargo tanks, releasing approximately 306,000 gallons of oil. The tanker was re-floated on Sunday, June 25, 1989, and was taken to the Sun Oil Company refinery where the remainder of its cargo was unloaded. The DNREC 1989 Pre-assessment Screen Report on the spill reported that 22 miles of riverine and estuarine shoreline was impacted by the oil. The most heavily oiled areas in the Delaware River were immediately south of the Port of Wilmington for a distance of approximately three miles. The No. 6 fuel oil spilled by the Presidente Rivera was a highly viscous oil, and formed a thick coating upon contact with the shoreline.  Vegetation along 22 miles of Delaware River and Bay shoreline were impacted in widths of 5-20 feet. Booms were strategically placed to help reduce impacts to sensitive riverbank areas and Pea Patch Island (home to the largest heron rookery on the east coast). This project included erosion stabilization along Pea Patch Island and 57 acre herbicide treatment of Phragmites removal along the southeastern portion of the island.  Over 95% of Phragmites was eliminated with no evidence of recurring invasions.",
