I hope the oil is gone before next weekends fishing derby.

Who pays for the oil/gas clean up? I would be a little ticked off if that affected my water front property. Does insurance cover that type of thing assuming your insurance covers an incident like this or do they only cover the cost of the vehicle and the environmental damage is on the owner?
