In Claymont Delaware workers using boats scoop blobs of congealed oil from the Delaware River as 800000 gallon spill stretches across the river. Deep water booms and skimmers struggle with dense slicks while 300 Delaware National Guardsmen and 250 contractor workers mobilize to contain the mess. Shoreline damage appears minimal in PA DE NJ as other spills are addressed nationwide.
