[StBernard] MURPHY OIL SPILL

[Westley Annis]

Yep, I believe you read my underlying intention in my response. Personal
samples cannot hold up, to speak when challenged by professional vs. YOU!!

I can't afford a professional, and many others cannot as well, so perhaps if
there is a challenge to Murphy that oil exists on your property, one had
better make sure the "oil sticks in court" so to speak <G>.. And be sure
that it is Murphy Oil and not the next door neighbor's car whos oil pan was
ruptured by the car supported on a chain link fence post <G>.

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.
