OIL SPILL Order #171........$42.50

What it was like when a tanker was sliced open by a rock in the St. Lawrence
River. Shows what it looked like and how the mess was cleaned up. Includes pictures of
the spill, oil containment booms, skimming and other clean-up operations, dead wildlife
and bird rescue. 20 slides and guide.

CONTENT SAMPLE: 27100 NEPCO 140 was carrying thick, heavy, #6 industrial oil,
almost tar-like in consistency. People with boats and vacation homes along the river found oil
instead of beauty. It fouled everything it touched.

News media across the country covered the story in detail, frightening and angering
people. Vacations were canceled, tourists stayed away, businesses lost money.

If left alone, the oil would not have simply evaporated or disappeared, it would have
marred the river and everything along it indefinitely. Man had spilled it and man had to clean it
up.

In addition to the direct cost of the clean up operation itself which cost the Federal
government approximately $8.5 million, claims for damages totaling $6 million were submitted.
One man submitted a claim for $254.72 to clean up his boat, dock and dog and to replace a rug
the dog had ruined by tracking oil on it.
