New Leak Found on Gulf Coast
July 27, 2010 - 12:48 PM | by: Jonathan Serrie
The Coast Guard is responding to a new oil leak on the Gulf Coast.

This spill involves a well in a portion of Barataria Bay known as Mud Lake, near Bayou St. Dennis about 10 miles south of Lafitte, Louisiana.

Although this latest spill is unrelated to the Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, it's blocking vessels of opportunity based in Lafitte from accessing the Gulf, as officials assess air quality and other health and safety issues at the site. (Boats staged in other areas are unaffected).

"It's apparent that some type of vessel has hit the well head, has laid it over," said Donald Nalty, COO of oil spill cleanup contractor ES&H, who just returned from a flyover of the site in single engine seaplane. "It's probably about a four inch casing and it's spewing out oil and natural gas."

Nalty said the oil was coming out as a mist and was dusting nearby marshes.

it's a conspiracy by the tree-huggers to try and get oil banned for good! ;)

I think we could all hear the CEO of GM scream NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! The new shot heard around the world! LOL!

it was hit by a tug boat / dredge barge

are you trying to claim the USCG hit the well head on purpose???

Yes, RWebb, it was a Coast Guard tug....don't you think THEY (of all folks) should be first-class mariners? hmmmmm? It's not like they don't know the PLOTTED positions of ALL wellheads in the area....Oh wait, it also prevents other boats from leaving the bay.

Sammy's got yer hat. ;)

;):D;) We HAVE to laugh about....Simple logic just won't work...

The plan is to instate a new gas tax on the US citizens for cleanup, but in reality to increase revenue. No more leak = no cleanup needed = no new tax needed. Got it?

Well Jim, I looked at the pic and the horns are clearly leaning to the left....Sorry, that one's not for me...:D

Yeah, why should they be forced to follow "pesky policy" that was set-up to deal with disasters? bleh, minor details. ;)
