LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Clean-up efforts have concluded for the Coast Guard and other agencies who responded to an oil spill that occurred, February 3, 2010, from a commercial container vessel located in the West Basin of Los Angeles Harbor.
All involved parties involved, including the commercial oil spill response organization and the shipping company, were cooperative through the duration of the cleanup which included supervision from Coast Guard pollution investigators, personnel from the California Department of Fish & Game and the Los Angeles Port Police.
