Now we wait to see when the oil industry pulls the trigger.
Based on my review a few months ago of the relevant science literature,
use of Corexit EC9500A will not have a net benefit for the environment,
and will almost certainly at removing the spilled oil from the
environment. It may make the oil harder to see by media cameras. It
will be singularly ineffective on dilbit spills.
The announcement in the Canada Gazette.

If you want a copy of my letter to Minister McKenna and Environment
Canada staff providing the overview of the science which contraindicates
the use of Corexit EC9500A for oil spills in Canadian coastal waters,
just e-mail me.
