Over the weekend there were reports that there may have been another oil spill since it was near the Deepwater well. Fortunately that does not seem to be the case. It doesn't sound pleasant, but at least it is not yet another oil spill.
The Coast Guard said on Sunday that miles-long patch of discolored goop floating in the Gulf of Mexico appears to be caused by river sediment.
The Coast Guard collected and tested samples of a dark substance after receiving varying reports on Saturday of possible pollution floating on and beneath the water's surface.
The largest sighting described the substance as stretching 100 miles into the Gulf, south of Grand Isle, Louisiana.
