Oil Slicks and Spills--Washington State - 2
- 5.1.2--TNT0002O
- 01/14/1975
40 Mallard ducks used to paddle Fife’s Wapato Creek had to paddle in a kitchen sink instead. Volunteer Chris Wells scrubbed one of the ducks affected by the oil spill in the creek. All ducks were expected to recover. The spill was blamed on vandals who were believed to have tampered with the storage tanks at the Old Valley Packing Co. recently purchased by the Milwaukee Railroad.
