NEW Fox News articles can now be heard on audio! Four days after an oil spilled into a marsh in Louisiana to the southwest of Baton Rouge, the Coast Guard was keeping an eye on the cleaning on Thursday.

According to emails from Coast Guard spokesman Riley Perkofski, an estimated 4,000 gallons of oil leaked on Sunday as WCC Energy Group LLC was pumping oil from wellheads into a barge tank used for storage.

The office of WCC Energy Group did not promptly return a call.

At a location about 20 miles southwest of Baton Rouge, in the Iberville Parish, the spill happened close to Bayou Sorrel, according to Perkofski.

After a 19-year-old truck driver was murdered by fumes at a hazardous waste dump, which is located roughly 20 miles southwest of Baton Rouge, Bayou Sorrel gained notoriety in Louisiana. The legislature passed Louisiana’s first hazardous waste law in 1978 as a result of Kirtley Jackson’s passing. The 265-acre landfill was decontaminated as a Superfund site and removed from the list in 1997.
