9. But they said they are cleaning it up?

Doing the math - 26,000 barrels x 350lbs = 9100000 minus the 67,400 lbs of oily vegetation they have removed indicates they have at least 9032600lbs to go.

Just to move the load to say of nothing of loading it or storing it somewhere or process would mean it would take about at least 151 tractor trailer trips but more probably closer to 500 or more when you consider you would have to remove the contamination's. With Hazmat removal trucking averaging around $3000 then it will cost 1.5 million or more to move at a minimum. But no doubt those figures will all get multiplied by the tens by the lawyers and other leveraging middlemen.
