Tar ball troubles to be expected, watchdogs admit, Tri-Parish Times, January 20, 2011:
Tar balls seen coming ashore on Elmer’s Island and sheen from what appears to be new oil deposits at Grand Isle are a matter of concern, but not surprising, according to regional government officials or environmentalists working to restore coastal areas. ...
"I haven’t seen that quantity of tar balls washing up since shortly after the well was capped,” [said Peter Brabeck, an environmental monitor for the Louisiana Bucket Brigade]...
Scientists had warned that underwater plumes still exist following cleanup efforts and would surface for years following the spill. Brabeck said what he has witnessed suggests that plumes might be behind this situation.
“I found tar balls that were not as weathered as they have been in the past. The quantity of tar balls is increasing as well as the size,” Brabeck said. He added that the pier at Grand Isle State Park offers a view of black water. “This is not the same oil coming up from tide washes,” he said. “I spend a lot of time in Grand Isle and I haven’t seen the oil look like this since the well was capped. There is a visible sheen on the water.”

..well now.. Justice Dept has the area sealed off as 'evidence'---you think it would be simply to ask them to ask them to get an honest research team to check the condotion of the well and surrounding areas.
... save your breath --it won't happen.
PS. You can not grout the seafloor.
who says the well is capped? BP? The Government? I would want several independent verifications on an item of such colossal magnitude. I believe BP was caught in the Photoshop already!
Oil showing up in England? Dead Seals in Newfoundland/Canada!
Wake up and Smell the Corexit, America!
You really thank they may not have actually caped the well - that would be huge .
BP's repair crew said they capped the well but they cannot fix the fractured seafloor.
correction: BP never said they could not fix the fractured seafloor; they just ignored the the matter of the fractured seafloor completely, as though this was a non-issue. We know differently and so dod Matt Simmons
Matt Simmons, R.I.P.
I agree with Billy Dale. And, I feel that the macondo is oozing fresh oil into the Gulf.
Something is still gushing oil into the GOM. I hear oil is washing up in England? That needs investigation ... Major Global Investigation … because for oil to make it that far the likelihood of a current gusher would be high.
Too much evidence that something is wrong. Dead Fish all over the Atlantic. Loop Failure? Now, we hear of fresh oil washing up in LA? I think Simmons was 100%, and I believe he was killed for Blowing the Whistle.
Every Quick Denial … Points to a LIE.
Didn't I read somewhere that there are four drill rigs over the site of the Macondo well now ! Why ? More interesting is that I remember When it was told that a ships sonar had found the BOP that blew from the well some 100's of yards from the well head. Then all the news stories focused on the famous one that was on the news daily with videos of a BOP attached to a well head. A Congressman from Florida talking about a CRACKED Seafloor, reports that a raised bubble of 20 to 30 miles around of the well that blew, the floor as lifted as high as 30 feet. With that much lift one can note that huge cracks would be a must. Just too many stories on the news that says ALL truths are not being told about the true nature of this disaster except the Gulf of Mexico is slowly revealing it's truths with fresh oil being battled with corexit of as signs come ashore, and there was what I saw with my own eyes, ... THIS NEEDS TO BE VERIFIED !! Floor leaking ??

I wonder if this one( DA NANG Vietnam: Oil Slick Dirties Tourist Beach
