Massive oil spill from 50s still being cleaned up

(25 Feb 2006) SHOTLIST AP Television FILE: 2004 1. Ariel shot New York City, downtown New York, February 19-24, 2006 2. Manhattan skyline, from boat 3. Shoreline of Newtown Creek with oil stains 4. Bulkhead with oil stain, at low tide 5. Absorbent socks (to prevent oil seepage into creek) inside boom 6. SOUNDBITE (English) Basil Seggos, Chief Investigator for Riverkeeper, Inc. "The kinds of vapours we've seen and we actually did some drilling on our own and found benzene vapours, benzene is a known carcinogen, and methane gas, which is explosive in the right conditions, or the wrong conditions depending on your perspective and either of those two things getting into people's homes is an unacceptable situation and the company, Exxon Mobil hasn't done a single study to determine whether or not a single home in this area is actually impacted by these problems." 7. Boom and absorbent sock with oil sheen visible on surface 8. Close-up absorbent sock with oil sheen visible on water's surface 9. Wide shot bulkhead along shore of creek 10. Robert McErlean, Greenpoint resident with NY State Assemblyman Joe Lentol, walking into house 11. SOUNDBITE (English) Robert McErlean, Plantiff and Greenpoint resident: "My concerns? Clean it up, you caused it. Money is never going to replace the environmental impact that you did, unless you take that money and you put that money to good use and clean this mess that you made, the community did not make that mess." 12. Wide shot McErlean and Lentol talking to neighbour 13. SOUNDBITE (English) Joe Lentol, New York State Assemblyman, 50th district: "They're telling us it's going be another 20 years before they're able to clean up. I'm not satisfied with that. We have to do this faster and we have to clean it up now, as quickly as possible and as quickly as the technology permits. And if it costs more money, than so be it. I think last quarter Exxon Mobil made 30 (b) billion dollars, they can afford it." 14.Street where McErlean lives in Greenpoint 15. Wide shot Newtown Creek 16. Pan of shoreline and storm drain 17. SOUNDBITE (English) Peter Sacripanti, Exxon Mobil's Lawyer: "What I say to those residents is, we respect you, we do not believe that your health or your property values are subject to damage, that we are taking all reasonable steps to remediate, that we can take consistent with our obligations under law and consistent with the technology that's out there and that we will take whatever reasonable steps we can take to assure that that continues in the future." 18. Wide shot of Manhattan skyline, from boat STORYLINE: Big Oil left most of the Brooklyn waterfront decades ago, but the industry's legacy still bubbles to the surface on Newtown Creek. A thick black smear marks the spot where petroleum seeps from one of the bulkheads lining the canal, which runs past a demolition yard and sewage treatment plant on its way to the East River. The slow leak is just a hint of what refineries left behind during more than a century on the creek's banks. Beneath the industrial yards and townhouses of Brooklyn's Greenpoint section lies an underground oil slick, spread out over an area as big as 41 football fields, containing more petroleum than the Exxon Valdez dumped off the Alaskan coast. The details of how so much oil got in the ground are still something of a mystery, but Exxon Mobil accepted responsibility for much of the damage in 1990 and has been pumping oil from the neighbourhood's water table ever since. Exxon Mobil lawyer Peter Scription said their vapour studies have concluded that no one's health is at risk.
