The Mizushima oil spill - a tragedy for Japan and a lesson for Canada / C.W. Nicol.: En46-8/76-2E-PDF
"On the night of December 18, 1974, a huge oil tank in the Mizushima refinery on the Inland Sea of Japan developed an eight-metre rupture and lost millions of gallons of hot Bunker C oil. Environment Canada sent Mr. C. W. Nicol of Environmental Protection Service in Vancouver to observe the impact of the spill on the environment and the clean-up measures employed. The cost of the clean-up and compensations, still continuing in mid-1976, will be in the order of hundreds of millions of dollars. More than 200,000 persons took part in the clean-up process, and over 38,000 vessels and 300 aircraft. This report summarizes Mr. Nicol's observations on the environmental damage and the clean-up efforts resulting from this catastrophic spill"--Abstract, page i.
