Leak from mill spills into Cuyahoga River

CLEVELAND (AP) -- A faulty pump at a steel plant spilled about 500 gallons of oil into the Cuyahoga River Sunday.
Mittal Steel Co. workers discovered the leak about 4 a.m. in a pump that delivers oil from a tank to a blast furnace, company spokesman Dave Allen said. The pump was turned off, but not before oil spilled into the plant and river.
Floating devices were used to contain the oil on the water, Allen said. Vacuum trucks would be used to remove the oil, but it was unclear how long that would take.
"It could be a few hours, or it could be a few days," Allen said.
Officials from the Coast Guard and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency were notified, Allen said.
Mittal Steel Co., is the world's largest steel producer.
