Cleanup of Delaware River oil spill continues with hundreds at work
The spill from the Presidente Rivera near Claymont, Delaware, dumped about 800000 gallons of No 6 heating oil into 15 miles of river and shore. Coast Guard and federal agencies coordinate containment booms, cleanup crews, and testing as Wildlife and wildlife refuges face potential impact. Guides say oil is heavy and congealed below the surface, complicating removal while authorities review the cause and plan further actions.
