Efforts to clean up an oil spill that leaked 5,000 gallons of diesel fuel into the Baltimore Harbor on Wednesday have recovered most of the spilled oil, says the U.S. Coast Guard.
In a statement sent to The Baltimore Sun on Saturday evening, Lt. j.g. Erin Johnson, a spokesperson for the Coast Guard, said that the crew working to clean the spill has recovered 4,700 of the estimated 5,000 gallons of diesel fuel that spilled into the Harbor, and that between 25% and 50% of the oil has likely dissipated since the spill.
Johnson continued stating that after rain showers in the morning brought no additional oil out of the storm drain system, the emergency response team determined that their attempts to flush oil out of the system worked.
