Considering the fact that the same volcano twenty years ago had a nearly six month long eruption they might have had a plan in place to do this back in Feb or early March. In cases like this a little malice of forethought can go a long way. I think that either the governor is totally clueless or waiting for an opportunity for victimization to gain federal funds or both.
Good to see the Coast Guard stepping in.
I am glad that something is being done. It’s a shame that Chevron was not proactive and now those who will do this work in a much riskier situation. I tried to find out if Chevron is paying for this stupidity. Unfortunately, none of the articles I read mentioned this. Does anyone out there know if we are bailing out another Fortune 500 Company?
Also, 75% of 6.3 million gallons leaves 1.5 million gallons and that can do a lot of damage.
