I believe the article you linked to discusses the same study the OP acknowledges. "These latest findings may initially seem to be at odds with a study published last Thursday in Science by researchers from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution..."

Hazen said that within two weeks of the capping, the plume could not be detected"
