A damaged barge that released about 4000 gallons of No 2 fuel oil into the upper Mississippi River was sunk after authorities ordered a halt to leakage. The spill created a brown film downstream with scattered dead fish while conservationists worried for local waterfowl. The Army Corps of Engineers joined the cleanup using plastic boom barriers and a barge mounted vacuum to recover heavier oil pockets.
