| 2. When the oil sludge with residual dispersant chemicals |
|
eventually leaches down into the drinking water supply, the residents can then sue BP to have millions of dollars of pump-and-treat groundwater remediation cleanup systems installed, and live off bottled water for a few decades,
OR,
they could avoid that clusterf*ck altogether, and stop landfilling toxins and incinerate the dirt, sand, vegetation and then bury the waste ash in a HAZMAT landfill the way it should be.
That ignorant Governor should know better.

| 6. Soils of all kinds, including sand, are burned before disposal |
|
or recycling, otherwise the leaching scenario can occur and cost a thousand-fold over incineration cleanup costs. Done all the time.

| 9. You would think it would be obvious what they have to do with this crap. |
|
:wtf: is the matter with these people? Why not just put it into school lunches! How fucked up do they have to be.
I think we need to have someone follow around all the BP executives with baseball bats and smack them once or twice every hour just because they probably are doing something to deserve it.

You drive down Hwy 90 in Biloxi and see people in Hazmat suits picking up this stuff. But they say it is safe to dump in a landfill right in the middle of our community. This is nothing but pure greed. Waste Management is getting a lot of money from BP and BP has the full support of Governor Blubber Puss to do what they want. Now the citizens have to add this to our list of battles with BP. Their tactic is to wear us down so far that we give up. Our Governor is not our advocate but BP's. After all Barbour said that BP had the most to lose in all of this. DRILL BABY DRILL.

| 8. This stuff just gets worse and worse... |
|
and it's still pouring out from the hole they made!
The guy from waste management said they have monitors to see if it's getting in the water and air. He said they would "know" if it was. What do they do about it then? Hmmm, they didn't say....
Are the tarballs any less toxic than the liquid stuff? They make it sound like you just put them in a Hefty bag and take it out with your regular trash. And we just won't have to worry about it ever again.
Sheesh!
