Fluid Spills

How Much Does the Clean-up Cost?

What is the Process of Cleaning up the Environment?

Once cleanup is complete, confirmatory sampling is required to demonstrate that the site is no longer contaminated. In some cases, ongoing monitoring may be required to confirm that risk management measures are working as intended.

Tens of Billions of dollars. $40 Billion is the reported cost of the BP Gulf Coast oil spill. The person who causes the spill must:

  • Pay for the equipment to cleanup the spill.
  • Pay for the workers who help cleanup the spill.
  • Pay for the study to find out how much damage was done.
  • Pay, even years later, to help cleanup the environment (to clean the plants and animals that were damaged or to replace the ones that were killed).

By Mojda, Jedah, Eryn, Reyan and Vashon. We will discuss the topic "Derailment of a train spills liquid chlorine or other industrial fluids"

What Damage Cannot be Repaired?

  • The death or possible extinction/endangerment of animals.
  • Anything that gets contaminated.
  • The land the oil gets spilt on.

Whose Responsibility is it to Clean the Fluid Spill?

Has This Happened Before in Our Community?

In our opinion, if the oil spill was caused by a natural disaster, the responsibility of cleaning up should fall on the government. However, if the cause was equipment failure of a careless mistake, it should be the company's responsibility.

No, because here in Ontario, we do not have a very high voltage that will cause an oil spill or any other fluids to spill. However, it has happened in British Columbia and Newfoundland.

Questions

What Can Companies do to Prevent This?

Definition of Fluid Spill

How do These Spills Occur?

Some ways companies can prevent these horrible spills include:

  • Double checking equipment before using.
  • Reduce the amount of oil getting transported by truck.

Some of the questions we will answer today will be:

  • How do these spills occur?
  • Has it happened in our community before?
  • Whose responsibility is it to clean-up the spill?
  • How much does the clean-up cost?
  • What is the clean-up process?
  • What kind of damage cannot be repaired in an oil spill?
  • What can companies do to prevent this?

When oil is being transported from one place in the world to another, sometimes things occur that will interrupt the transportation of the oil, causing it to leak out. Some of these things include:

  • People and builders being careless and making mistakes.
  • Equipment breaking down.
  • Heavily struck natural disasters.

A leakage releasing harmful fluids into the environment, mainly into marine range (oceans, rivers and bays).

An oil spill is very dangerous for animals living near the shore and underwater.
