S.C. oil impact called unlikely
North and South Carolina have plans in place
By BRUCE SMITH
Associated Press
Friday, May 21, 2010
Chances are remote that oil from a leaking well in the Gulf of Mexico could
make it to the beaches of the Carolinas and it would likely be weeks from
now if it did, emergency officials said Thursday.
"We think there will be a minimal impact, if any," said Ricky Platt,
director of the S.C. Emergency Management Division. "But having said that,
we're still in the unknown."
The worry is that the loop current in Gulf of Mexico will pull the leaking
oil around the Florida peninsula and then north toward the Carolinas.
"What we're hearing from the Coast Guard is that there is less than a 1
percent chance it could get this far," said Eddie Seneca, the spokesman for
the N.C. Department of Crime Control and Public Safety.
On Wednesday, Clinch Heyward and Ben Gregg, chairman and executive
director, respectively, of the South Carolina Wildlife Federation, wrote
the Coast Guard and the state Department of Health and Environmental
Control asking about contingency plans if oil does tar the shoreline.
"No one can say with any certainty if this will happen or what the
potential impacts on our region might be," the letter said. "But since as
of this date the oil continues to flow into the Gulf, and we are told it
may be several months before it is shut off, the possibility of its getting
to our shores is becoming more and more likely."
Both states have plans in place to deal with oil spills and officials in
each state are in daily contact with their counterparts in the Gulf.
"If it does come here they think it will have a minor impact on our
beaches," said Joe Farmer, a spokesman for the South Carolina Emergency
Management Division. "Minor impact as we have heard it explained is there
could be an occasional 6-inch tar ball that one could clean off one's feet
with soap."
"Is it a possibility? Yes. Is it likely? No. That's what we're hearing,"
said Thom Berry, a spokesman for the state Department of Health and
Environmental Control.
There are a couple of things working in favor of the Carolinas.
Much of the oil would be diluted in the weeks it could take to be pushed
out of the Gulf. And the Gulf Stream would keep most of it offshore, 60 to
100 miles at sea, Berry said.
If the oil came ashore, it would come at the busiest time for tourism along
the Carolinas coast.
