Following the explosion and sinking of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig, a sea-floor oil gusher flowed for 87 days, until it was capped on 15 July 2010. In response to the BP oil spill, EPA sampled air, water, sediment, and waste generated by the cleanup operations.The purpose of this dataset is to display EPA water sampling locations and results for the BP Spill/Deepwater Horizon oil spill response.-138.21454852-12.6815164561.71101576.65223303NoneNone.
