    PASCAGOULA, Miss. -- A line leak has released about 45 barrels of heavy oil into the water around Chevron Corp.'s Pascagoula refinery wharf.
    The company says the spill occurred around 3:45 a.m. Tuesday and specialized refinery teams have responded to the incident. Chevron officials say skimmer boats and oil absorbent boom have been deployed.

    Officials say there is no danger to the community. There were no injuries.
    They say federal, state, and local authorities have been notified.
