Sunken Lake Erie barge has open hatches, but no leaks found

TOLEDO — Divers looking for the source of seeping oil near a sunken barge on the bottom of Lake Erie haven’t located any active leaks, but they did find four open hatches on the wreckage, the U.S. Coast Guard said on Wednesday. It’s not clear yet whether the open hatches could be the source of a petroleum-based solvent spotted on the surface near the U.S.-Canadian border within the past two weeks.
