Oil Spill in Salt Lake City Affects Wildlife

This is awful!  I will be staying on top of this if any further assistance is needed!  
From the Associated Press -

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - A leaked pipeline sent oil spilling into a Salt Lake City creek, coating geese and ducks and closing a park, officials said Saturday as they started a cleanup effort expected to last weeks.
At least 400 to 500 barrels of oil spewed into Red Butte Creek before crews capped the leak site. Nearly 50 gallons of crude oil per minute initially had spilled into the creek, according to Scott Freitag, a Salt Lake City Fire Department spokesman.
