- Geographic work areas will be assigned to these teams and larger contractors. Maps will be provided of the work zone and turned in daily with signatures from the on site supervisors who will confirm each worker that day, how many hours are clocked, location worked, work performed and the progress completed.
- Daily safety meetings will be held each morning along with a brief update regarding the results of our efforts, when available.
- Compensation will be based on the job performed and the resources supplied. Until further notice compensation will be paid out weekly. Payroll Reports will be turned in daily and totaled on Wednesday of each week. The checks will be cut on that coming Friday.

Waiting patiently for an answer, reference my application, to my offer of help in the clean up effort. Received your letter, May 23, 2010, explaining organizing difficulties. Request an update of the situation as it now stands, a post on the RMDSE website might be beneficial. Anxious to contribute my labor, even in the organizational area if necessary.
Respectfully, William
I will email you. We are trying to get the word out that we now have 9500 workers that have offered there services. We are trying to get a commitment to use these resources from BP or the local parish presidents and county officials. I will make a post showing some of what we have to offer. Maybe some of you can call county officials and tell them we are trying to reach them and we are ready to work. If every one will help us get the word out we can go to work.
Mr. Lombardo i have worked during several Disaster clean- ups over the last ten years. I have workers that would like to help with the oil clean up. What do we need to do to be considered for Employment for this clean up.
We just graduated from High School and are READY to spend the summer saving marine life and shore animals. Give us a brush and some Dawn and put us to work PLEASE!! Will also scrub rocks or anything because honest work is honest work.
Mr. Lombardo, Thank you for keeping us all updated. Our country along with myself are ready to respond to this terrible disaster that is threathening our gulf shores. We are on standby waiting to respond at a moments notice. Collectively we can defeat and overcome.
Respectfully,
