On or about November 26, 1999, a pipeline owned and operated by Genesis Energy Inc., Genesis Crude Oil, L.P. and Genesis Pipeline USA, L.P. ruptured near Soso, Mississippi and released approximately 8,000 barrels of crude oil into the environment, ultimately reaching waters of the United States and the State of Mississippi. The discharge emanated from a segment known as Genesis Pipeline USA, L.P. No. 2, an 8-inch pipeline running approximately thirty (30) miles between Soso and Gwinville Junction, Mississippi (the "Soso-Gwinville Junction Segment No. 2"). Analysis of the pipeline showed internal corrosion was the likely cause of the Spill. Initially, the release was beneath the surface. During the next four weeks, the crude oil reached the surface, flowed through a six mile stretch of a small unnamed tributary containing three wetland areas (.59 acres), and into the Leaf River approximately three miles above U.S. Highway 84, near Collins, Mississippi. Oil moved down the Leaf River a total distance of approximately 27 miles. The initial Shoreline Cleanup Assessment Team's (SCAT) assessment, completed December 24-26, 1999, indicates that just over 36.1 miles of shoreline were oiled. Subsequent SCAT analysis, conducted on January 3-4, 2000 and on January 11-12, 2000, revealed that approximately 56.5 miles of shoreline received some degree of oiling as a result of the release and attendant clean-up activities. The spill injured the unnamed tributary, wetlands, groundwater, and wildlife. A Consent Decree (CD) and final Restoration Plan (RP) were completed in 2004.
