Default One-gallon oil spill generates $$$$$$$$ response

On Mon, 10 Dec 2007 08:20:19 -0800 (PST), Chuck Gould penned the
following well considered thoughts to the readers of rec.boats:

|Approximately 1-gallon (yes, one) of diesel leaked from a local
|waterfront tank over the weekend.
|
|Several government agencies responded to clean it up. $$$$$$
|
|Check this video:

|
|The last section of it shows a guy with an optical measuring and
|scanning device, sampling treads on the ladder up the side of a fuel
|tank. He says he is looking for any trace of petroleum on the steps,
|and that if any trace of petroleum product is found the clean up crew
|will then be required to wear full haz-mat suits to work in the area.
|
|It's great that the oil got cleaned up, but my gosh that's a lot of
|fuss over a very small amount.
