Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce and local residents affected by these catastrophic events. The deadline for these results and presentation is December 1st, 2012. Thank you for your cooperation. Gina McCarthy Administrator for the EPA Articles for review: 167pgs. Sample Problem Statement: How can we, as researchers, determine safe clean alternative methods to clean up the environment after an oil spill in such a way that: We meet the deadline for the presentation. We put the concerns of our audience at ease having discovered the safest method and promise to continually look for ways to prevent future oil spills from occurring. We look at the safety and environmental footprint of all methods considered around the beaches and in the Gulf of Mexico. We do no further harm to any other area of the environment in the process of implementing our preferred method. Know Board: We must make a presentation to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce and local residents. DEEPWATER HORIZON - There was a catastrophic event in 2010 that dumped more than 200 million gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico for an 87 day period. 11 people were killed and 17 were injured.16,000 total miles of coastline were affected, including the coasts of Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida. President Obama ordered the creation of a $20 billion spill response fund and also required that BP oil compensate small businesses along the gulf coast for lost revenue. Oil expands in the water, sometimes forming balls” that wash up onto beaches and “tar shorelines damaging the environment. Oil can be cleaned up by skimming or absorbing it from the Skimming is the process of mechanically removing it from the water. Absorbing is the process of soaking up the oil first, before trying to remove it from the water. Need to Know: How often do oil spills occur in the continental waterways of North America? What is the most common cause of oil spills?
