DOE: Shores cleaned up
The Star 8 Jun 10;
PENGERANG: The Department of Environment (DOE) has stopped monitoring the oil spillage as no new patches have been found.
“All the shores have been cleaned,” said DOE director-general Datuk Rosnani Ibarahim in a statement.
“Cleaning work is now focused only on Sg Bongkok and Sg Haji Ahmad which are still tainted by the oil spill.”
The shores were marred by the oil spill following a collision between two vessels on May 25. Rosnani said 60,291 litres of sludge had been collected since then.
She urged anyone who spots oil patches in their area to contact the DOE hotline at 1-800-88-2727.
