Berkeley, California (April 20, 2021) Environmental groups, a Native Alaskan health aide, and a Gulf Coast commercial fisher today filed a consequential brief in a lawsuit seeking to update regulations on the use of toxic chemicals in oil spill response. The plaintiffs’ filing asks the court to compel the Environmental Protection Agency to update its 25-year-old plan for oil spill response, which relies heavily on the use of toxic chemicals to disperse spilled oil. Today’s filing occurs on the date on which, 11 years ago, the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill disaster took place in the Gulf of Mexico. That spill resulted in the use of nearly two million gallons of chemical dispersants chemicals that sickened first responders and coastal residents, many of whom remain seriously ill to this day.
