NATION IN BRIEF : NEW JERSEY : Waterway Reopened Following Oil Spill
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
The Coast Guard reopened the Kill Van Kull waterway between Bayonne, N. J., and Staten Island, N. Y. Coast Guard spokesman Jim McGranachan said ships using the waterway have been ordered to keep their speeds low enough to avoid creating wakes that would interfere with crews bagging more than 260,000 gallons of the gooey No. 6 heating oil dumped when the British tanker BT Nautilus ran aground last week. The cleanup is expected to last at least eight more weeks.
