No.

It is not feasible to completely clean up an oil spill. The oil can be cleaned from beaches, but other areas including wetlands may be impossible to clean. Nature through wind, wave and biological action will over time degrade and disperse (spread out) the oil, so its impact will be much less.

So is that spill cleaned up or not, in your definition?
