It still isn't clean. Today if you walk a beach where the oil washed up and turn over a rock or dig a bit in the sand you will find oil. All they did was steam clean the beach and carry away dead animals. The toxins stay in the ecosystem for a 100 years, so plants and animals are still feeling the effects of the oil.

∙ 13y agoBecause the spill impacted 1,300 miles, it took the Exxon Valdez Company four summers to clean up the spill. Some oil may still remain on the beaches. It took 10,000 workers, 1,000 boats, 100 airplanes, and the Navy, Army, and Air Force to clean up the spill. Exxon spent about $2.1 billion for the clean up.
