The Lower Marine Rise Package (LMRP) has managed initial success.   Of the estimated 12,000 to 24,000 barrels thought to be leaking each day, the LMRP is currently collecting 11,000 barrels of oil.  This is good news for the spread of oil as the gushing has been drastically reduced.  All of the attempts to quell the oil are merely precursors to the final solution: 2 new relief wells nearby that will permanently seal and replace the current leak.

In the shadow of this good news lay unresolved issues.  There is still oil leaking.  It may be drastically reduced but there is still oil leaking into the gulf adding to the current spill dubbed as the worst spill in United States history.  In an interview with BP, they admitted: “Long-term issues of restoring environments and habitats will be years.” The oil cleanup on the surface may only take several months to remove but it is the oil that has eked its way into wetlands and marshes that will take the longest to diagnose and repair.  In addition to the surface oil, massive underwater plumes of oil have been confirmed.  The scary part about these killer underwater plumes is the complete lack of information about why these formed, what kind of damage do they inflict and where these plumes going.

BP is taking a very bold stand to this cleanup.  In the midst of years of cleanup and hurricane season upon us, BP has promised the US people that BP would restore the Gulf of Mexico and all regions affected by the oil back to their original state, as of the oil leak never happened.

President Obama has been getting involved as well.  The “Berm Plan” has been approved where miles and miles of man made berms will be created in the water to stop the oil from spreading onto our shores.  President Obama has reiterated his stand that BP will be accountable for their entire cleanup.  Oil has reached Panama City, Florida and other Florida coastal cities.

A large criticism directed at BP and the Federal Government is not using all available resources to solve the catastrophe.  This is what this site was created for.  A place where people can go to and get involved with the cleanup process.

This all started when the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded on April 20^th killing 11 workers and was left spewing 12,000 to 24,000 barrels of oil a day into the Gulf of Mexico.

BPs last attempt to stop the oil leak has not been a success.  The goal was to pump “mud” and “junkshot” into the leak with the hopes of clogging it.  If the “mud” turned out to work, cement would then be pumped in to seal off the leak permanently.  After days of pumping the “mud”, the oil is still leaking, forcing BP to look into another method.

The Lower Marine Riser Package is the current method of stemming the leak.  Using underwater robots, BP will cut into one of the pipes leaking oil and try to reconnect it to another pipe.  The goal here is not to stop the leak but to slow the leak down.  Since this measure has never been completed at 5000 ft. before, BP has given us a sombering reminder:  “the successful deployment of the containment system cannot be assured”.

So what happens next?  In the short term we have to adopt a wait and see attitude regarding the actual leak.  BP has engineers and teams of scientist working to fix this issue along with a website that allows people to submit creative and scientifically sound ideas on ways to stop the leak.

Thousand of workers have joined arms to help clean up the effects of the oil on our coastline at gulfoilspilljobs.com.  Here at gulfoilspilljobs.com we are working tirelessly around the clock to secure contracts to put our citizens to work performing a service for the American people and other nations soon to be affected.

Throughout the entire process of failed attempts at curing the leak, BP has been drilling 2 relief wells which is considered the final solution.  The downside?  These relief wells will not be complete until August.  This leaves the next 3 months for the leak to spread farther and deeper inland.

Something else we can anticipate and try to plan for is the arrival of the hurricane season.  The oil will spread beyond our comprehension if a hurricane were to pass though the gulf along with the destruction of the oil booms currently deployed.  This huge unknown underscores the immediate need to get as much of the oil cleaned up as possible even if the leak has yet to be stopped.  We hope President Obama follows up with the His commitment here to increase manpower as we are falling steadily behind to the spread of oil.

I wish to offer a sincere THANK YOU! To all our people that are putting themselves available to work  and for the patience they are showing as we secure the work needed to make a difference cleaning the oil.

According to BP’s disaster response website, there are 22,000 personnel deployed in the oil cleanup operations since the explosion and subsequent leak of the deep water horizon.  Initially reports guessed at 5000 barrels of oil were leaking a day but, as we now know, 5000 barrels a day is too low of an estimate.

Despite the large operations that BP is deploying, the oil continues to spread farther out to sea and creep its way onto our shores.  Yet, for some unknown reason, we have close to 4000 workers ready to clean the oil and still no response from decision makers albeit the continuously spreading oil.

The operation BP has deployed has been one of a kind.  Even though much criticism abound, BP is spending 33 million a day on cleanup and containment efforts.  Yet the oil still spreads.  This gives a perspective on the sheer enormity of this spill.  It is this reason that we need to put every person willing to work in the gulf to clean it up and assist BP with containment.  Additionally time is running out.  Any moment wasted gives the oil more time to spread into currents, wash onto shore, propogate into the ecosystem and wait for a hurricane, since it is hurricane season, to blow it along the shores.

Workers untwisting booms due to rough seas.

What can the workers do?  Recently information has shown that the oil booms, as one of the most endorsed formed of oil containment, are needed in increasing quantities along with the man power to manage.  Oil cleanup workers can help deploy more booms and maintain the ones we have.  The oil booms left by themselves cannot keep up with the oil.

Ships can be deployed to skim the oil.  Individuals from around the world have submitted creative ideas for separating oil from the water in the cleanup process.  It is these new ideas that can be used in cleanup.

Teams of workers can patrol the beach removing traces of oil.

Teams can help the local animal species hurt by the oil spill.

Divers can research and investigate the oil effects under water.

Ship captains can man large vessels to capture the oil and water mixture collected.

Engineers can join the BP team to continue finding alternate solutions.

We need to get all the workers and volunteers to the Gulf as soon as possible.  BP, the Governors offices, State Officials and the Federal Government need to commit as many resources as possible to the oil cleanup.  These decision makers need to know that we, at gulfoilspilljobs.com, have a vast army of willing workers eager to help this crisis.

Please send this site to all and any you know.

Here is our sister site for decision makers.

Thank you in advance for your willing spirit to participate in this important work.  I hope we all get a chance to use our talent and skills to lessen the impact of what I believe to be truly, the most catastrophic blow to our environment we’ve ever seen. If you’re wondering just how bad this could get refer to my post entitled,”Disastrous things to consider.”   Feel free to skip to any section you prefer to read first.

Section 1

Before working as part of a disaster response, there some key things you need to know to understand why there are certain delays.  First of all, there is mostly misinformation circulating around.  This is true of virtually every disaster.  When there is a call to action, many times that call to action did not have the proper preparation or come through the appropriate channel. The result is that people packed their bag’s, mobilize to a location expecting to work, just to find themselves waiting around with nothing to do. Why? Because the person or company asked them to go to work without first acquiring all the proper clearances or they are not in compliance with the laws that govern the incident.

They also likely did not secure the commitments for funding from the responsible parties enabling them to continue the project to completion. They simply responded to a phone call with out any real work agreement.  For example, in this case the ultimate funding could be British Petroleum, a governmental agency or a local County.  A general contractor may have lines of credit to fund the interim payments to workers, but with a payroll that could reach over $5 million a week or over $20 million per month, you can see the necessity for a firm to have agreements between all of the financially responsible parties to insure the continuous stream of funds. This can’t be done on a handshake as some things can.  There are a lot of individuals that will represent themselves as a fully staffed contractor, experienced in managing the logistics and securing real contracts, providing real jobs. When in actuality they are a broker who simply knows someone who’s working on a project. They find out that the great opportunity to secure a large contract was fact a “daisy chain” of commitments to each other.  Therefore you should see the need to proceed with agreements in hand before you move into action. How does Risk Management Disaster Service Environmental Inc., handle things?

Before you will be asked to work anywhere, you will receive a written work assignment that will spell out the following.

1. How much you will be paid?
2. What day and time your check will be ready for pick up.
3. Where to get it or who will give it to you, in the case of very remote assignments.
4. There will be instructions telling you where to report, and who to report to.
5. You will have the opportunity at some point to ask what task you will be asked to perform.

Section 2

What about Risk Management Disaster Service Environmental Inc.?

Well, our company was formed and has been in the disaster business since 1996.  My name is William Lombardo I am president of Risk Management Disaster Service Environmental Inc.  My father started us in the vegetation debris management industry in 1961. The first major hurricane that I worked with him was hurricane Frederic in 1979. It struck Mobile Alabama.  Since then I’ve responded to more hurricanes and tornadoes disasters and I actually can remember at this time. This experience will prove invaluable as we approach hurricane season. The largest disaster I was a part of was, of course, Hurricane Katrina.  I was responsible for approximately 400 sq. miles of Louisiana coastal area, starting at Texas State line.  A small part of area that we cleaned up was photographed and used in the centerfold of National Geographic August 2006 issue.  This was near the geographic center of the area we served.  The areas were comprised of Cameron Parish, Vermillion Parish, and Lafayette Parish.  This enormous region area was divided between approximately 3 and or so major contractors.  And we were one of them. There were coordinated, people and machines. This time we have added oil boom supplies as part of our response.

Here the following roles, we will be managing.

1. Contract procurement. This basically is the verification process and legal procurement of a contract ensuring there is a specific task order outlining the specification and requirements of the work to be performed as well as the pay rates for the services will render.
2. Funding. Exactly what it sounds like. This is where we make sure that if you work turn in the appropriate paperwork at the end of each workday that you will get paid.
3. Logistics.  This primarily deals with the flow and dispatch of workers and equipment.  Making sure that the utilization of all resources is efficient and effective.
4. Subcontractor management.  This has to do with project oversight, ensuring that the work is performed by qualified subcontractors and the standards our client set before us is met. And if for any reason the work performance does not meet the proper standards. That is our job to make sure that we put the right personnel in place to correct the situation.
5. Strategic planning and creative problem-solving.

Section 3

Getting hired and the process of deployment.

First, we receive your information in our computer system when you filled out our application.  Second, we look at your current training and experience.  Third we decide, if you will work on a team as an individual worker or if you’re capable of managing a small group of people or large group. If you are a larger subcontractor you are evaluated in a similar way as it relates to a subcontractor. This enables us to know what function within the project you will fulfill and what we feel we can delegate to you.  If you are an individual worker, we assess where your particular labor can be used or if you should be partnered up with a larger subcontractor.  All of this information is then put into the hands of the few local government agencies, major prime contracting firms, cities and counties and of course responsible companies like BP.

Once you sign up, you should not expect us to be able to call you immediately with a place for you to go work.  Once all personnel and resources are logically organized and the financially responsible party is contracted to ensure payment for your / our collective services, then you will be given direction.

Its time to get busy.  When you hear the Governor of Louisiana begging for help it is time to get involved.  It may take the collective strength of all the people to get the word out that thousands of us are here and ready to do the smart thing…to act.

Responsible parties are dragging their feet. Please help us spread the word.

Please email anyone you can and let them know that you and I are ready. … EMAIL THE FOLLOWING to CNN, ABC, the White House, BP etc.

You can say what you like just include the following.

We have 10,223 workers, over 2000 pieces of equipment, and over 600 boats, but it’s at a stand still.  Please help us connect with the responsible parties.  It is a terrible thing to watch while our coast is being destroyed.
