OSWEGO, N.Y. — The Coast Guard Ninth District Response Advisory Team in partnership with the Oswego Fire Department and New York Department of Environmental Conservation determined the oil cleanup efforts have progressed substantially enough to reopen the Oswego marina and boat launch March 25, 2022.

The initial decision to close the marina was made after an assessment concluded that the area had been impacted by discharged oil from an underground pipeline on March 9, 2022.

It has been determined that the opening of the marina will not negatively impact ongoing response efforts and is safe for recreational use. The U.S. Coast Guard, New York Department of Environmental Safety, and representatives from Oswego will continue to oversee the cleanup conducted by Oswego Harbor Power LLC as well as monitoring the harbor.

Breitbeck Park, west of Oswego Harbor Power will remain closed to boating traffic as cleanup efforts continue.

Please contact the U.S. Coast Guard Sector Buffalo Public Affairs Officer Lt. j.g. Andre Clansy with any questions at [phone] or via email at [e-mail].
