Protection inspected the Coastal Air Transport aircraft servicing flight number #413. The 

inspection revealed that you were the pilot in command. The inspection also revealed 

that you accepted and transported in air commerce an un-marked and un-manifested box 

which contained two plastic bags marked Hazmatpac, each containing two bottles. Each 

bottle was labeled Fuel Oil, UN1993 and contained approximately 750 mi. The shipper 

was identified as SGS Saint Eustatius. 

The hazardous materials were not declared, described, packaged, marked, labeled, and in 

condition for air transportation as required by the hazardous materials regulation. 

Additionally; Coastal Air Transport, Incorporated is not a certified hazardous material 

carrier. 

The FAA would like to provide you with an opportunity to furnish any information 

concerning this matter which may reflect mitigating circumstances. 

As a part of our investigation, we are requesting the following related information: 

EXHJBrr __ l.......__

January 14, 2010 

Dear Sir, 

In response to your letter received January 4, 2010, we offer the following as requested: 

1. A copy of the Material Safety Data Sheet(MSDS) for low sulfur diesel fuel (7 pages). 

2. Copies of the Bill of lading from the shipper. Copies of our Cargo Manifest were held by U.S. 

Customs in St Croix. These items were correctly listed as oil samples. 

3. Copies of the hazardous materials training records for those involved in shipping these samples. 

4. We were advised years ago by our Principal Operations Inspector (POl), that a hazardous 

material program was not recommended and would not be required to transport small 

quantities of properly packaged flammable materials. These materials include butane lighters, 

matches, six packs of spirits, mouthwash, aftershave, etc. The material and quantities in this 

shipment fall into this category. 

5. The shipper has offered us the use of their lATA Training Program. We have agreed to have all 

appropriate personnel complete this course. 

6. Samples were shipped in limited Quantity(less than 10l for Diesel Fuel) as per lATA DG Regs 

2.8.2.1(b) and packaged in a suitable box and materials for shipment. Shipment was placed in a 

cargo compartment not accessible to passengers. Included are labels attached to these samples 

describing their content. These were apparently not noticed during the customs inspection. 

Coastal Air has operated for almost 30 years, accident, incident, and violation free. We have agreed to 

add additional training in the future and request that this investigation be closed with no further action 

being taken.

NERVOUS SYSTEM -HARMFUL OR FATAL IF SWALLOWED 

Moderate fire hazard. Avoid breathing vapors or mists. May cause dizziness and drowsiness .. May cause 

moderate eye irritation and skin irritation (rash). Long-term, repeated exposure may cause skin cancer. 

If ingested. do NOT induce vomiting, as this may cause chemical pneumonia (fluid in the lungs). 

EYES 

Contact with liquid or vapor may cause mild irritation. 

§.!Slli 

May cause skin irritation with prolonged or repeated contact. Practically non-toxic if absorbed following 

acute (single) exposure. Liquid may be absorbed through the skin in toxic amounts if large areas of skin 

are repeatedly exposed. 

INGESTION 

The major health threat of ingestion occurs from the danger of aspiration (breathing) of liquid drops into 

the lungs, particularty from vomiting. Aspiration may result in chemical pneumonia (fluid in the lungs), 

severe lung damage, respiratory failure and even death. 

Ingestion may cause gastrointestinal disturbances, including irritation, nausea, vomiting and diarrtlea, and 

central nervous system (brain) effects similar to alcohol intoxication. In severe cases, tremors, 

convulsions, loss of consciousness. coma, respiratory arrest, and death may occur. 

INHALATION 

Excessive exposure may cause irritations to the nose, throat, lungs and respiratory tract. Central nervous 

system (brain) effects may include headache, dizziness, loss of balance and. coordination. 

unconsciousness, coma, respiratory failure, and death.

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET 

Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel MSDS No. 1797 

WARNING: the burning of any hydrocarbon as a fuel in an area without adequate ventilation may result in 

hazardous levels of combustion products, including carbon monoxide. and inadequate oxygen levels, 

which may cause unconsciousness. suffocation, and death. 

CHRONIC EFFECTS and CARCINOGENICITY 

Similar products produced skin cancer and systemic toxicity in labOratory animals following repeated 

applications. The significance of these results to human exposures has not been determined- see 

Section 11 Toxicological Information. 

IARC classifies whole diesel fuel exhaust particulates as probably carcinogenic to humans (Group 2A). 

NIOSH regards whole diesel fuel exhaust particulates as a potential cause of occupational lung cancer 

based on animal studies and limited evidence in humans. 

MEDICAL CONDITIONS AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE 

lnitation from skin exposure may aggravate existing open wounds, skin disorders, and dermatitis (rash). 

( 4. FIRST AID MEASURES (rev. Jan-98; Tox-98) 

EYES 

In case of contact with eyes, immediately flush with clean, low-pressure water for at least 15 min. Hold 

eyelids open to ensure adequate flushing. Seek medical attention. 

SKIN 

Remove contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated areas thoroughly with soap and water or waterless 

hand cleanser. Obtain medical attention if irritation or redness develops. 

INGESTION 

DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Do not give liquids. Obtain immediate medical attention. If spontaneous 

vomiting occurs. lean victim forward to reduce the risk of aspiration. Monitor for breathing difficulties. 

Small amounts of material which enter the mouth should be rinsed out until the taste is dissipated. 

INHALATION 

Remove person to fresh air. If person is not breathing provide artificial respiration. If necessary, provide 

additional oxygen once breathing is restored if trained to do so. Seek medical attention immediately.

PMCC 

Vapors may be ignited rapidly when exposed to heat. spark. open flame or other source of ignition. When 

mixed With air and exposed to an ignition source, flammable vapors can bum in the open or explode in 

confined spaces. Being heavier than air, vapors may travel long distances to an ignition source and flash 

back. Runoff to sewer may cause fire or explosion hazard. 

EXTINGUISHING MEDIA 

SMALL FIRES: Any extinguisher suitable for Class B fires, dry chemical. C02, water spray, fire ftghting 

foam, or Halon. 

LARGE FIRES: Water spray, fog or fire fighting foam. Water may be ineffective for fighting the fire, but 

may be used to cool fire-exposed containers. · 

FIRE FIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS 

Revision Date: 02128/01 Page 2 of7 
HOVEN SA 

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET 

Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel MSDS No. 1797 

Small fires in the incipient (beginning) stage may typically be extinguished using handheld portable fire 

extinguishers and other fire fighting equipment. 

Firefighting activities that may result in potential exposure to high heat, smoke or toxic by-products of 

combustion should require NIOSH/MSHA- approved pressure-demand self-contained breathing apparatus 

with full facepiece and full protective clothing. 

Isolate area around container involved in fire. Cool tanks, shells, and containers exposed to fire and 

excessive heat with water. For massive fires the use of unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles may 

be advantageous to further minimize personnel exposure. Major fires may require withdrawal, allowing 

the tank to bum. Large storage tank fires typically require specially trained personnel and equipment to 

extinguish the fire, often including the need for properly applied fire fighting foam. 

See Section 16 for the NFPA 704 Hazard Rating. 

I 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES (rev. Jan-98} 

ACTIVATE FACILITY'S SPILL CONTINGENCY OR EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN. 

Evacuate nonessential personnel and remove or secure all ignition sources. Consider wind direction: stay 

upwind and uphill, if possible. Evaluate the direction of product travel, diking, sewers, etc. to confinn spill 

areas. Spills may infiltrate subsurface soil and groundwater; professional assistance may be necessary to 

determine the extent of subsurface impact. 

Carefully contain and stop the source of the spill, if safe to do so. Protect bodies of water by diking, 

absorbents, or absorbent boom, if possible. Do not flush down sewer or drainage systems, unless system 

is designed and pennitted to handle such material. The use of fire ftghting foam may be useful in certain 

situations to reduce vapors. The proper use of water spray may effectively disperse product vapors or the 

liquid itself, preventing contact with ignition sources or areas/equipment that require protection. 

Take up with sand or other oil absorbing materials. Carefully shovel, scoop or sweep up into a waste 

container for reclamation or disposal- caution, flammable vapors may accumulate in closed containers. 

Response and dean-up crews must be properly trained and must utilize proper protective equipment (see 

Section 8). 

J 7. HANDLING and STORAGE (rev. Jan-98) 

HANDLING PRECAUTIONS 

Handle as a combustible liquid. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame! Electrical equipment 

should be approved for classified area. Bond and ground containers during product transfer to reduce the 

possibility of static-initiated fire or explosion. 

Special slow load procedures for "switch loading" must be followed to avoid the static ignition hazard that 

can exist when higher flash point material (such as fuel oil) is loaded into tanks previously containing low 

flash point products (such as this product) - see API Publication 2003, "Protection Against Ignitions Arising 

Out Of Static, Lightning and Stray Currents. 

STOBAGEPRECAUTIONS 

Keep away from flame, sparks, excessive temperatures and open flame. Use approved vented 

containers. Keep containers closed and clearly labeled. Empty product containers or vessels may contain 

explosive vapors. Do not pressurize, cut, heat, weld or expose such containers to sources of ignition. 

Store in a well-ventilated area. This storage area should comply with NFPA 30 "Flammable and 

Combustible Liquid Code". Avoid storage near incompatible materials. The cleaning of tanks previously 

containing this product should follow API Recommended Practice (RP) 2013 "Cleaning Mobile Tanks In 

Rammable and Combustible Liquid Service" and API RP 2015 "Oeaning Petroleum Storage Tanks".

Emergency eye wash capability should be available in the near proximity to operations presenting a 

potential splash exposure. Use good personal hygiene practices. Avoid repeated and/or prolonged skin 

exposure. Wash hands before eating, drinking, smoking, or using toilet facilities. Do not use as a 

cleaning solvent on the skin. Do not use solvents or harsh abrasive skin cleaners for washing this product 

from exposed skin areas. Waterless hand cleaners are effective. Promptly remove contaminated clothing 

and launder before reuse. Use care when laundering to prevent the formation of flammable vapors which 

could ignite via washer or dryer. Consider the need to discard contaminated leather shoes and gloves. 

I 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS and PERSONAL PROTECTION (rev. Jan-98) 

ENGINEERING CONTROLS 

Use adequate ventilation to keep vapor concentrations of this product below occupational exposure and 

flammability limits, particularly in confined spaces. 

f;YEIFACE PROTECTION 

Safety glasses or goggles are recommended where there is a possibility of splashing or spraying. 

SKIN PROTECTION 

Gloves constructed of nitrile, neoprene, or PVC are recommended. Chemical protective clothing such as

crude oil, refined, and unrefined petroleum products and any indigenous components of such. However, 

other federal reporting requirements {e.g., SARA Section 304 as well as the Clean Water Act if the spHI 

occurs on navigable waters) may still apply.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Hazmat Materials 

FROM: CBPO Renael Steele 

Henry E. Rohlsen Airport, RR #2-9922 

Kingshi/1, St. Croix, VI 00850-9702 

Date: November 02, 2009 

TO: FAA Hazmat Coordinator Juan Boulted 

CC: SCBPO Preston Tutein 

SUBJECT: Detention of Fuel Oil 

On October 21,2009 at 1535, while inspecting cargo from Coastal Air flight #413, an unmanifested box was found with no identifYing markings. After checking with the four passengers 

that arrived on the same flight, it was determined that it was cargo. Upon opening the box, two 

plastic bags were found labeled "Hazmatpac". Upon opening the bags, two bottles approximately 

7 50ml each were found labeled fuel oil UN# 1993 that contained a liquid substance. The 

contents appeared to be hae:ardous materials. There was no MSDS, no packing slips or any 

hazardous markings or warnings labeled on box. Unaware of the actual contents, CBPO Steele 

and CBPAS Arroyo questioned Michael Foster, pilot of Coastal Air about the box and its 

contents. Mr. Foster stated that it was fuel oil and he brought it in for SGS, a company in St. 

Croix, USVI. Mr. Foster WaS asked why the box was not manifested and stated that he forgot to 

put it on the manifest. Mr. Foster then amended the manifest and added the box with the 

description as samples. SCBPO Tutein was contacted and advised of the contents found. As per 

SCBPO Tutein, the box was detained for further advisement on contents and shipping 

requirements. The items were detained by CBPO Steele on form 6051 D #617246. 

The following day, October 22, 2009, SGS faxed CBP a certificate of analysis and a bill of 

lading stating that the samples are diesel fuel UN#l202.
