Delaware oil spill fears ease amid calls for tougher controls
Coast Guard officials said a 22 mile oil slick in the Delaware River posed a real threat to wildlife and marshlands though not as severe as feared. Capt. Wilman cited an uncertain spill scale while Environmental Protection Agency chief Train urged stricter tanker safety standards. The Olympic Games spill stretched from Eagle Point to near New Castle, washing ashore at Paulsboro and Claymont. About 50 birds were coated, with 50,000 gallons boomed and 5,000 gallons cleaned on the Pennsylvania side. Snow hindered helicopter help as lighter oil evaporated and heavier oil lingered.
