NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- The U.S. Coast Guard said Wednesday it scheduled a controlled burn in the Gulf of Mexico to minimize environmental risks of an oil slick coming from the site of the sunken oil rig Deepwater Horizon as concern about the accident mounts.

The Coast Guard said the burn is expected to remove "large quantities of oil" following the April 20 explosion that resulted in the sinking of the $600 million rig and the presumed death of 11 missing workers. The well has been leaking an estimated 1,000 barrels of oil a day.

Work boats will collect oil into a fire-resistant boom approximately 500 feet long, the Coast Guard said. The oil will then be towed to a more remote area, where it will be ignited and burned.

The plan calls for small, controlled burns of several thousand gallons of oil lasting approximately one hour each.

"No populated areas are expected to be affected by the controlled burn operations and there are no anticipated impacts to marine mammals and sea turtles," the Coast Guard said.

"It is a no-win situation," said Jackie Savitz, senior scientist at Oceana, an environmental advocacy group. "The only good answer is prevention and we are past that point. I am actually hopeful that this becomes sort of a reset moment when in thinking about how we develop our offshore oil resources."
