Barranca residents fear over oil spill incident

Residents of the small riverside community of Barranca are worried  about the environmental impacts  of the oil spillage in their land a few days ago.

They also fear that they may not be employed in the clean-up of the spills.

 Residents who helped block the spill's advance the night of June 24 say they saw oil several kilometers down the ravine below the point where the Northern Peruvian Pipeline broke.

Government environmental oversight body has put the spill  at 600 barrels.
