Attorney General McCollum today sent a letter to BP executives, asking the
company to immediately acknowledge its liability for any damages Florida
may sustain during the 2010 Atlantic Hurricane Season as a result of the
Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
“A hurricane or tropical storm in the Gulf will significantly increase the
environmental damage, as the storm will capture the oil in its path and
deposit it much further inland than would occur under normal tidal
conditions,” wrote the Attorney General. “In the event of a tropical storm
or hurricane, the additional damage caused by the oil contamination must be
paid for by BP.”
Attorney General advised BP that should it fail to fulfill its obligation,
the Attorney General would if necessary use the full power of his office to
ensure that BP and any other liable party live up to their responsibilities
under the law.
