Cleanup workers hospitalized after BP oil washes ashore in Gulf —

Oil has showed up on at least 660 miles of Louisiana's shoreline but most of that is no longer under "active response." While BP is responsible for cleaning up in those active response zones, it is up to local governments or residents to report oil that shows up outside of them -- and that must be tested before the U.S. Coast Guard calls in BP.
