[StBernard] MURPHY OIL SPILL

[Westley Annis]

I've phoned this gentleman, LANCE, and I'm not sure he will be helpful
because the phone call was not returned.

This speaks volumes for some wanting to help, and those who want to help
non-gratis. It certainly opens opportunities for those I've seen emergening
all over the parish to "help" those in need. (more to come on this issue),
now that I'm free for discussion.

Jerry,

I think this is why any sampling should be done by a professional company.

Things to consider:

Samples must be collected in glass jars.  Plastics and other composite
materials are usually made from some type of petroleum product and will
taint the sample.

A professional company will maintain a chain of custody that is as valid as
any that a company hired by Murphy will be.

Talk to Lance.  He has a local company on notice to collect samples as
needed that has all the credentials to stand up in a court of law.
