Hi Mike!

Yeah! No oil spill is good! -> They caught this one very very early!
It's light processed oil so it'll be easy to clean up/evaporate and won't go into the eco-system.

The bigger picture and Worse is all the "tons and tons" of salt, phosphate, street run-offs, and other toxins and crap "THROUGHOUT THE WATER" being swept down every creek, stream, and river along the eastern seaboard from winter snow and ice melt.

That is what really gets into the entire eco-system Exclamation

Especially since the state started using CalciumCloride a few years ago. That stuff eats away cement, and you are supposed to wear gloves when handling it!
