Environmental advocacy group calls for 100 naval rescue crews to intervene in the final stages to remove the Golden Ray debris from the voice of St. Simon.
On its website, one hundred miles (onehundredmiles.org) is asking the Navy Rescue Unit to join the crowd by asking for “skills and assistance.”
The complaint, which was posted on Wednesday, came in the wake of a series of oil spills since the shipwreck began in November.
“Over the past few weeks, residents and tourists in the Golden Islands have been fearful that our oceans, beaches and swamps are oiled,” the statement said.
The website provides an email address to the 7th District Commander, Admiral Brenda McPherson, of the U.S. Coast Guard. As of Thursday, Admiral had received several emails, said Lt. Commander Jason Niman, spokesman for the 7th District.
The Joint Command will continue to consult with naval rescue experts on matters related to the Golden Ray operation, the 7th Coast Guard said in a statement late Thursday.
The statement read: “Rear Adm. McPherson is receiving letters from community members and is reviewing their concerns and recommendations. ” “It shares the community’s concern for the voice of St. Simon and the environmental and economic impact it has had on the region – especially the recent pollution and rehabilitation work. The Coast Guard is responsible for the protection of the Navy … In response, the integrated command consulted with the US Navy Superintendent’s Rescue and Rescue (SUPSALV) and Coast Guard Salvation Engineering Response Team (SERT) to ensure the safety and environmental effectiveness of rescue plans and response operations.
After completing Part 6 of the VB 10,000 crane from the ship’s hull on July 30, the Oil River plunged into a fast-moving wave and washed off the beaches, Johnson rocks and swamps on the southern shores of St. Simon’s Island.
An integrated order to oversee Texas-based T&T rescue has in turn sent dozens of pollution crews to the island’s shores.
Fuel flows have continued slightly over the past week, reducing efforts to lift and unload 3,695 metric tons.
Two weeks after the break-up, the 255-foot-tall VB 10,000 remains partially suspended from the block. In the five pieces of metal that were torn from the wreckage, the lubricants lifted each part out of the water and placed it on the boat, and within a few days of being separated, it was pulled out of the boat.
Salvars reports the discovery and sealing of the oil pipeline, the source of the leaks. The Joint Command said this week it will focus on removing vehicles and sludge from Section 6 to lighten the ship before it is unloaded and unloaded.
Once Part 6 is removed from the sound, the salons will have one more cut and two more pieces of debris – about 153.5 feet of debris.
A late oil spill in late May prompted the Glenn County Health Department to post a pollution advice for beach visitors and fishermen on a busy weekend. Hundreds of vehicles were set ablaze by the blaze, which erupted on May 14 and left plastic automotive parts washed for days on the beach.
According to Megan Dessiers, general manager of 100 Mile, Georgia’s coastal community is unable to cope with another oil spill on the Golden Island coast.
He said the group’s decision came after consulting with experts in the field of marine rescue and oil spills. The vast surrounding coast is recognized as a vital habitat and nursery for marine life and aquatic birds.
“This oil spill will change the game,” Desrosiers told News. “There are three more units left and we don’t know how much oil has been removed. At one time all the oil was removed and now we have to pour this. We cannot continue to see these errors. If you find that there is oil on the boat, then do the cleaning properly.
I don’t mean that I have no contempt for the people who are there to clean up, but we are the ones who have to stand here and face the consequences.
Michael Coast, spokesman for the United States Coast Guard, confirmed that the United States regularly consults with navies and coastguards.
Hemis Admiral McPherson said he supported the role and implementation of the integrated order during the rescue operation.
Combined orders include Coast Guard, Georgia Department of Natural Resources and Galgarine Marine Systems. A.D. It is responsible for ensuring that the rescue operation is carried out in accordance with environmental standards set out in the Federal Oil Pollution Act of 1990.
“The Admiralty supports the unified command and their response,” said Hermes. It is important to remind everyone that we have the resources to deal with the challenges of filtering and minimizing the impact of any debris on the environment.
According to Hems, regular air and water quality inspections will continue to be within acceptable limits.
On September 8, 2019, the 656-foot-long Golden Ray, between Jacqueline and St. Simon’s Resort Islands, was overturned for nearly two years. It is estimated that 380,000 gallons of fuel were in the tank when it was in the tank. In the weeks following their exposure, a lot of liquid oil spilled into the desert, washing off desert grass, fenced islands, inland waterways, and other important fishing and nest fields.
Since then, Salvers has pumped 327,000 gallons of fuel from the shipwreck in the last months of 2019.
The EPB is designed to hold oil spills throughout the cutting process. From the APB. Outside, cleaners flotilla with drinking water, oil boats and current buses with V-shaped corners and oil.
One hundred miles from the petition, the EBB was not built to capture the sound of St. Simons. The group is concerned that a congested order will no longer have adequate pollution control personnel.
“They did not create this, but if they do not clean it properly, they can make it worse,” Desrosiers said. We do not want it to get worse.
Hems did not expect the United States commander and the teenagers to experience this amount of oil spill in this rescue operation at this late stage. However, in response, sufficient energy was mobilized, and United Nations staff and private oil pollution cleaners were used.
On Thursday, more than 80 people were stranded on the beaches, shoveling and sanding sand and spaghetti banana production on oily swamps, Hems said. Boats also collected large quantities of oil and water, although the exact number is not yet known.
“We grew from 25 people to 60 people in 24 hours and 80 people in 48 hours,” Hems said. There is no shortage of resources.
He said the rapid fluctuations in sound are “extremely” tempting to capture all the oil spilled in the EPB. That is why, in addition to the EPB, the system includes pollution workers on water, on beaches and on air.
Hemes said that because of the amount of energy it uses during the day, the volume is very sensitive. We knew it would be challenging and that’s why we have so many layers in place. Sometimes, despite great efforts, leakage can occur outside of our filters.
