Hundreds of gulls were killed or maimed when several hundred gallons of a cooking oil like substance discharged from a sewer into the Cuyahoga River near Kingsbury Run. More than 500 birds were found dead and 30 to 40 in distress near the ArcelorMittal Steel Plant as sewer crews contained the spill. EPA officials said the oil dispersed and did not foresee further large impacts.
