 On
November 26, an oil tanker, damaged while attempting to
dock at a Citgo Petroleum Corp. terminal in West Deptford
Township, spilled a still-undetermined amount of crude
oil into the Delaware River. Since that time, the DEP
has been on the scene daily, working closely with the U.S. Coast
Guard and other federal and state agencies to contain
and clean up the oil.
The following map, provided by the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), illustrates
the oil contamination along a 108-mile stretch of the
Delaware River. This map will be periodically updated
to reflect current conditions.
