Still in use at Alyeska... seeking widespread permitting  http://www.valdezlink.com/corexit/pages/plan.htm 

although supposedly approved by all organizations... Nick Nichols of EPA said it had to cross his desk,

& he hadn't seen it:  1-21-03

"Could you please give me more details about the concerns you have with
Exxon testing dispersants in Alaska waters?  We have no indication that
this is happening or will happen.
 Any oil or dispersant spilled for research purposes has to come through
my office.  I have not seen anything on this issue.  However, any
authorized use of any dispersant  on an oil spill is allowed by federal
regulation."

Anyone want to know what chemicals were in Inipol EAP 22?  Ingredients Were  *

What is in this Corexit?

It's not right for EPA to withhold the damaging ingredient of 2-butoxyethanol...

 when listing Inipol EAP 22  *  & Corexit. *

If you knew the damage to workers' health, EPA, you wouldn't even permit them to be used.

Were any workers of the NJ - Corexit - test health damaged?

Does anyone besides Exxon know?
