Twenty years after the infamous disastrous Exxon Valdez oil spill, the areas affected by the 10.8 million gallons of oil spilled into the Prince Edward Sound are still not completely recovered. The Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustee Council (EVOSTC) evaluates that there are still ten indicator species/resources, ranging from killer whales to mussels to sediments to intertidal communities, that have not reached a complete stage of recovery. Human services dependent on the Sound, such as fisheries, tourism, and pure aesthetic appreciation, are also still considered to be in a state of only partial recovery. Chillingly, there are two species the EVOSTC considers to have shown no signs of recovery over the entire twenty years since the spill: the Pacific Herring and the Pigeon Guillemot.
The US Government and Coast Guard, along with the State of Alaska participated in clean up activities, but containment of the spill by booms was not feasible. The spill in some ways was different from the BP spill in that all oil spilled out from the tanker compartment within a couple of days. Exxon had to pay for extensive clean up efforts, including bio-remediation of the coast line. The Federal and State environmental agencies helped document the environmental damage, and this helped in later court cases. See related link.

The major BP Gulf of Mexico oil spill took place off the coast of Louisiana. A smaller oil spill also occurred in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 2010.
On March 24, 1989, the Exxon Valdez ran aground on Bligh Reef in Prince William Sound, Alaska. The tanker was traveling outside the normal shipping lanes in an attempt to avoid ice. It spilled 10.8 million gallons of oil (out of a total cargo of 53 million gallons) into the marine environment, and impacted more than 1,100 miles of non-continuous Alaskan coastline. State and Federal agencies continue to monitor the effects of this spill, which was the largest oil spill in U.S. history.For some other famous oil spills, see the Related Link below.
Without any other info...it wouldn't seem to be a tax reportable event.
Dr. Valdez in which city, state and country?
Louisiana is the state that most immediately and surely is affected by the oil spill of April 20, 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico. That first, explosive incident occurred about 41 miles [66 kilometers] off the state's shores. But cultural, economic and environmental consequences will be felt in the short- and long-term all along the coastal Gulf of Mexico.
