Longview vessel leaks diesel into Columbia River
LONGVIEW, Wash. (AP) - The Coast Guard and state Ecology Department responded to a diesel leak from a ship moored near Longview that caused a half-mile long sheen on the Oregon side of the Columbia River.
The Coast Guard says a crack in the fuel tank was patched Wednesday afternoon, but agencies are working with contractors to remove the fuel and threat to the environment.
The 100-foot Tiffany is a former fishing vessel. The Coast Guard is trying to contact the owner.

I wonder how much longer until Truth Percolates comes in and blames this on Obama and the liberals...
Oregonian insurgents are polluting our sovereign waterway. We should attack quickly before they gain confidence and begin throwing in logistical support.
Another derelict vessel that the taxpayers will have to pay the cost of cleanup? Puget Sound has plenty of those too. Hopefully they find and make the owner pay.
