Diesel spill in Suisun ‘Backwaters’ cleaned up; Coast Guard looks into enforcement action
The Coast Guard contractor hired to clean up the diesel spill caused by a houseboat that sank in the Backwaters area of Suisun City has completed the work. … What remaining diesel fuel that may have escaped the immediate spill area, the Coast Guard reported, should have fully dissipated by Monday or Tuesday. Bob Ritchie, who is one of the closest neighbors to the site, said he thinks it will likely be more like months before it all goes away. He said parts of his property are still coated with fuel.
