According to authorities, an estimated 300 barrels of oil has spilled into the Okatoma Creek. Each barrel of oil contains 42 gallons which means 12,600 gallons emptied into the Okatoma.
A team will walk the banks of the Okatoma, Friday, February 19, 2016 for six miles from Hwy 28 to Saratoga in search of any oil build up.
