Hundreds of gallons of oil that spilled into the Delaware River earlier this week washed up in New Jersey Tuesday.
The U.S. Coast Guard opened a report on the spill by the Pennsville Boat Ramp of Riviera Drive — south of the Delaware Memorial Bridge in Pennsville.
Pennsville Police said "evidence of oil has started to wash up on Pennsville Beach."
Between 400 and 500 gallons of oil spilled near Wilmington Monday during fueling of a barge then washed up in New Jersey on Tuesday, said the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.
Witnesses said there was a strong odor from the spill.
Officials said the globs oil likely won't pose any serious threat to humans or wildlife.
