Wednesday 6/4/25 — Johns Hopkins reported the 2000 gallon leakage near Fells Point. Friday they updated their estimate to 5000 gallons. Just gets worse and worse.
Two diesel tanks (used for backup generators) were overfilled leading to the spill. “In a statement, Kim Hoppe, vice president of public relations for Johns Hopkins medicine, said: "Johns Hopkins continues to work closely with federal, state and local authorities as well as the environmental remediation crews who have been working tirelessly to clean up the harbor. Our review of the situation is ongoing, and, as we continue to gather information, we are updating the estimate of the overflow. In our last update to state agencies, we revised the initial estimate of the fuel overflow to approximately 5,000 gallons. As noted previously, Johns Hopkins is handling the costs for the environmental remediation." “So far, more than 18,000 gallons of water have been removed, as well as 400 gallons of recoverable fuel. While Johns Hopkins Medicine took responsibility for the spill, saying a diesel tank was accidentally overflowed during a routine delivery, it is still too early in the investigation to discuss how it happened.” “The state's wildlife team rescued geese, ducks and turtles from the scene.” https://www.wbaltv.com/article/operations-clean-fuel-spill-scaled-back-progress/64995622 |

Considering how dirty it is, it's probably an improvement.
