Gulf Oil Spill: Federal Estimates Again Eclipsed By Reality

Supervisors in Harrison County, Louisiana, voted unanimously Monday to oppose BP using the Pecan Grove landfill in Harrison County to dump waste from the oil gushing in the Gulf of Mexico.



Supervisors found out last week during a meeting with elected officials that the unified command's preliminary plan called for putting debris into the landfill. The board said it is "stringently opposed" to that plan.



Supervisor Marlin Ladner said the landfill takes in waste within 100 miles of here, so that would mean debris from Mobile to New Orleans could be put there.



“That’s something we’d have to deal with for years to come,” he said. “I don’t think we should be responsible for taking care of the debris.”



Marti Powers, a spokeswoman for BP, said every agency involved with unified command received input about the best way and the best places to put the debris. She said Pecan Grove was on a pre-approved list of sites.



“We are open to suggestions for other places to put waste,” she said.

No plan for spill, no plan for waste, but Obama wants to open up more of the Gulf to offshore drilling.



This isn't any different than the plans this administration has for building more nuclear power plants.
