An oil spill at the Chevron Richmond Refinery that was leaking into San Francisco Bay was stopped late Tuesday afternoon, and the cleanup is underway, the energy company said in a statement.
Chevron first noticed the sheen on the water near the refinery at 3 p.m., and approximately 600 gallons of a petroleum and water mixture seeped into the bay before the leak was stopped.
