Recent powerful storms have led to more than 140 oil spill cleanups in Maine

Most of the oil spills the Maine Department of Environmental Protection has responded to happened after the big "Grinch" storm in December, but last week's back-to-back powerful storms also affected more than 20 homeowners along the coast. Chris Hopper is the director of the DEP's Division of Response Services. Hopper said the Rumford and Mexico areas have had a lot of oil spills that need cleanup from his team. Hopper also said there's a fund, the Maine Ground and Surface Waters Clean-up and Response Fund, that has existed for many years and covers the cost of the service to clean up the spill if you have a heating oil tank that's been impacted.
