Over the weekend the cleanup process began with removal the broken pipeline. The cleanup operation includes removing the pipe in segments and clearing debris near the pipeline.
Exxon Mobil has taken responsibility for the spill and is paying for the cleanup. An investigation on why the pipe burst is still on-going.
