BARLING, Ark. -- The Army Corps of Engineers said there may be a possible oil spill in the Arkansas River near lock and dam 13 in Barling.The Coast Guard got a report of a rainbow-colored sheen on the water, which they said is consistent with an oil spill.The Coast Guard is leading the investigation. They said the river is moving swiftly and they are trying to catch up with the sheen as it moves toward Mississippi and the next lock and dam in Ozark.They do not know where it came from and are trying to figure out who went through the river since all shipments are monitored at the lock and dam before heading further down the river.The Coast Guard said someone who owns a marina east of Barling spotted the sheen on the water.
