Crews are continuing to clean up this weekend’s oil spill in Esquimalt’s Gorge Creek, officials confirmed Monday.
There are two outfalls along Craigflower Road where the sheen is present. The outfalls are connected and only one source is anticipated.
Both outfalls are boomed and are being maintained by the Township of Esquimalt.
The source of the spill in the creek, which flows into the Gorge Waterway, has still not been determined. Esquimalt Public Works is working to locate where the spill is originating from. The B.C. Ministry of the Environment has visited the site and is monitoring the work of the Township of Esquimalt.
