Nearly 2,300 gallons of fuel have been recovered from a blueberry farm near Everett, Washington after a leak from BP’s Olympic Pipeline this month.

The pipeline carries gasoline, diesel and jet fuel. A leak cut off the jet fuel supply to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport for nearly two weeks and resulted in emergency declarations from the governors of both Washington and Oregon. The Olympic Pipeline runs from Whatcom County to Portland and supplies more than 90% of Oregon’s transportation fuel.

The total amount of fuel spilled has not yet been measured, but the damaged part of the pipeline was fixed and fully put back into service on Saturday, according to a BP statement.
