LaBrec said that the Coast Guard does not have concerns about the environmental impact of the ship’s operations. Some reports have said that the Environmental Protection Agency is worried that some of the 500,000 barrels of oily water sucked up each day by the vessel may contain some traces of oil when placed back in the Gulf. An EPA spokesman did not return a request for comment by press time. The Coast Guard spokesman said that there are no legal concerns holding up the “A Whale” skimmer. The Jones Act, which prohibits foreign ships from operating in or near U.S. ports in many circumstances, does not apply to skimmers. LaBrec said that the holdup for the super skimmer was required only because the government is required to give it the green light, even though BP would be the one paying for the skimmer and on the hook if it was not effective. “There are standards for oil spill response vessels, testing standards,” LaBrec said. “The federal on-scene coordinator is involved in approving the different technologies that are used in the response to make sure there are no issues with that.” A BP spokesman said the oil company had not asked the skimmer to come help with the cleanup. “They’ve just turned up hoping to help out. We haven’t contracted with them,” the BP spokesman said.

To: mininggold (#51) The east coasters who post they wouldn't venture here on a bet always seem to be the California 'experts' Well, somebody is venturing here. Where I live is jammed. Went looking at houses today. The typical price around here is still over $700,000, and there seem to be fewer on the market than six months ago. I was hoping to be able to pick up a second house locally, but the prices are still too high for it to make any financial sense. I think I'll check out places around Oakhurst and Mariposa. Being close to Yosemite would be a nice place for a second home. "The ocean will take care of this on its own if it was left alone and left out there. It's natural.
