Interior plans ignore possible offshore spills says Sierra Club
A Sierra Club representative told a House committee that Interior Department environmental impact studies for Outer Continental Shelf development lack predictive content and rely on literature searches. She warned of predicted spills, including a typical 1,000 barrel oil spill per platform, and a high risk of spills reaching shore near Baltimore Canyon. Reichardt of the American Gas Association countered that many concerns may be political funding devices and suggested Atlantic gas could flow into existing pipelines, reducing need for new lines and refineries.
