Testimony about the Gulf Clean-up Efforts, Summer 2010
Information contributed by Ro Mayer
"The clean up is a federalized effort coordinated 51 % by the Coast Guard and the EPA, and 49% BP, who is also picking up the tab , is thought to have bought and sold the chemical for $270M from them selves to themselves, through purported ties to Rodney F. Chase, former Deputy Group Chief Executive of BP for 11 yrs, and Daniel S. Saunders, former President, Exxon Mobil Chemical Company and Vice president Exon Mobil Corp. This is thought to be the link in paying themselves for it and also in providing the chemical Corexit from an Exxon Mobil Chemical Company owned Nalco Plant located at 1601 W. Diehl Rd.,Naperville, Ill. 60563-1198 (603)-305-1000 through their association wth Exxon Mobil. This is also thought to be the reason for the selection for this particular dispersant."
We were told on June 23, 2011 at approx 7pm by the incident commander for the Coastguard athe the BP open house in city Park in New Orleans that the dispersant use had been curtailed. Indeed, Uptown again smells like the back repair of an old gas station so that must be true. Also I have not heard any planes for a few days. We are also told that the less toxic EC9500A is what is presently being used and in a lower amount. The use of the more toxic Corexit EC9527A is said to have been discontinued to me by the Incident Commander of the CoastGuard on Wed pm at the BP open house. Finger sandwiches anyone?
We want more clean up crews, more skimmers, supertankers to suck the oil out, a tent with a hose to the well sucking the escaping oil out like was used to capture the oil in the Persian Gulf just prior to the entry into the Gulf by the US fleet. We want human and wild life rescue and marsh and beach oil containment before it reaches them and massive cleanup response as soon as the oil appears. We want them to stop the oil and save the Gulf. No
