BROOKLYN REFINERY SPILL WILL TAKE DECADES TO CLEAN UP

An underground oil slick, spread out over an area as big as 41 football fields, is caused by a slow leak from one of the petroleum bulkheads lining a canal in Brooklyn, New York. The oil slick left by the 17 million gallon spill is beneath the industrial yards and townhouses of the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn, and contains more petroleum than the Exxon Valdez dumped off the Alaskan coast. More than 20 people who live above the oil filed a lawsuit in December, claiming the underground plume is releasing foul-smelling fumes that could be toxic or flammable.

Although Exxon Mobil accepted responsibility for much of the damage in 1990 and has been pumping oil from the neighborhood water table ever since, the cleanup as been painfully slow. More than half of the spill is still thought to be in the ground. A number of Greenpoint families say their patience has finally run out.
