Since when is the United States Coast Guard — funded, of course, by our tax dollars — charged with cleaning up an oil spill that came from a corporate-owned oil well? Hello?
The U.S. Coast Guard says an oil leak from an abandoned wellhead in Bayou Dupont in Jefferson Parish is under control.
On Thursday, officials said about 1,470 gallons of oil had been recovered. The Coast Guard says boom has been placed in the water to contain the leak and about 40 workers are cleaning up the spill.
The Coast Guard says one leak in the wellhead has been plugged and two other spots where oil was oozing out have stopped leaking.
The leak was reported to the Coast Guard on Sunday. Officials say Houston-based Cedyco Corp. owns the abandoned wellhead.
