[QUOTE="okietool, post: 2720685, member: 6030"] That would also be part of the APD and/or COA. Liability for the clean up is included as part of the APD / COA. On BLM land in N.M. soil testing after operations is required, disposal and replacement of and affected soil is part of the process. Offshore will be different but generally the same. Fines or forced liability for clean up costs are pretty much the same, the liability is probably not technically a fine because BP's insurance may have taken a hit on the clean up part. Blaming the contractor may have been a strategy to promote an insurance pay out. If I remember right they alleged contractor negligence on well control equipment maintenance. Of course they were told "Still your problem". This is of course all guess work and an interesting exercise, but moot. Now awards to states or individuals would be civil actions, no? [/QUOTE]
