PORT FOURCHON, La. - BP PLC is sending cleanup crews back to Fourchon Beach because erosion from Tropical Storm Lee unearthed miles of tar balls, tar mats and abandoned cleanup equipment left from last year's oil spill.
Six task forces ? 90 workers and 17 technicians ? will work a seven-day-a-week schedule to clean up the beach, BP spokesman Curtis Thomas told The Courier.
"We knew this was coming," Thomas said. "That's why we've had this manpower on standby."
Tests show the wave of tar balls that hit Alabama's beaches after Tropical Storm Lee was from last year's BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, a coastal mayor said Tuesday. Orange Beach, Ala., Mayor Tony Kennon said the connection was found in preliminary tests performed by Auburn University, and additional tests will be conducted.
"We want to find out exactly what we are dealing with," Kennon said.
Tropical Storm Lee dumped tar balls in concentrated areas for miles along the Alabama coast. Some were nearly as large as baseballs and irregularly shaped, leading officials to believe they were broken off from large mats of tar submerged on the Gulf's sandy floor.
