Caddo sheriff's deputies responded to an oil spill on Twelve Mile Bayou between La 173 and La 169 earlier today.

An oil sheen was found as far South as La 173 bridge (Dixie Blanchard Rd). Sheriff's Office patrol deputies used drones to trace the oil spill approximately 9 miles North to a location just South of La 530 on Black Bayou. Officials are in the process of containing the spill.

CPSO contacted the Louisiana State Police Haz Mat Hotline, and the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality will take over the investigation and mitigation.

 Any further press inquiries should be directed to them.
