BP inched closer to permanently sealing the busted oil well as retired
Adm. Thad Allen rejected assertions Sunday that federal officials allowed
the energy giant too much leeway to use chemical dispersants in the Gulf
of Mexico.
Allen told reporters during a conference call that federal regulators did
not ignore environmental guidelines. He says some field commanders had
authority to allow more dispersants to be used on a case-by-case basis.
"I'm satisfied we only use them when they are needed," Allen said.
Documents released by a congressional subcommittee found that Coast Guard
officials allowed BP to use hundreds of thousands of gallons of chemical
dispersants in the Gulf despite a federal directive to use them rarely.

Congressional investigators say the Coast Guard routinely approved BP
requests to break up the oil. That's despite a federal directive to use
the dispersant rarely.
Long-term effects of the dispersants on sea life are unknown.

Congress is stepping up its scrutiny of chemical dispersants sprayed on
the Gulf of Mexico oil spill to prevent crude from washing ashore.
Rep. Edward Markey, a Massachusetts Democrat, contends that BP PLC and the
Coast Guard have used more of the chemicals than widely reported. On
Saturday he demanded that federal officials provide his office with more
information about use of the chemicals, which the Environmental Protection
Agency limited in late May due to concerns about their effects on marine
life.
The Senate Committee on the Environment and Public Works is slated to hold
a hearing Wednesday on the use of dispersants in the Gulf.
Dispersant chemicals have long been sprayed onto offshore oil spills to
break crude up into tiny particles that can be digested by bacteria that
occur naturally in the ocean.
But in the wake of the Deepwater Horizon spill, what experts call an
unprecedented amount of dispersantabout 1.8 million gallonshas been used.
Not only was it sprayed on the surface of the Gulf, it was also injected
deep underwater where oil was shooting out of the leaking well from late
April until the well was capped last month.
