Cleanup efforts were complete as of Wednesday, said Ronnie Hernandez, an environmental investigations specialist for the river authority. “A little bit of oil goes a long way when it hits water,” Hernandez said. “We’ve seen waterfowl die having come in contact with jet fuel and oil in the river. We normally don’t get fish kills; there’s so much water volume in the river — but if it were a small creek with a very healthy fish community, then you might see a much bigger impact to the aquatic community.”
San Antonio Missions National Historical Park is working to assess and mitigate damage and conduct all required documentation investigations, NPS said.
