NEW ORLEANS, LA (WLOX) - BP's Gulf oil spill cleanup is nearing the end. By
mid-June, company officials say the National Response Center will be the
point of contact for reporting all oil, chemical, radiological, biological
and etiological discharges into the environment. That means the Coast Guard
will be the first to investigate pollution, and find the responsible party.
