EPA Response to BP Spill in the Gulf of Mexico
In response to the BP oil spill, EPA monitored air, water, sediment, and waste generated by the cleanup operations. Ongoing response and restoration efforts are posted to RestoreTheGulf.gov. While emergency response data collection has ended, results continue to be available on this site. Any new data will continue to be posted to this site, and data will continue to be available here for the foreseeable future. Much of the content of this site continues to be available for historical and information purposes, but we are no longer updating these pages on a regular basis.
