Biloxi Marsh Lands Corporation (PINK SHEETS:BLMC):
What Happened
The Transocean’s Deepwater Horizon drilling rig explosion and
fire on April 20, 2010, and resulting BP Oil Spill have caused
environmental concerns across the entire Gulf Coast. Biloxi
Marshlands Corporation owns 90,000 acres of marshlands in St.
Bernard Parish, LA, that are in the area of concern for the spill
and could potentially be impacted. As the spill became apparent
BLMC’s personnel immediately commenced patrolling operations to
monitor for spill impacts to our property. BLMC’s senior management
first met in the field with BP, State and local officials on
Friday, April 30th to assist in staging response assets and
coordinating response efforts. We have also been in constant
contact with the Unified Command Center.
Current Status
We continue to monitor the outer marshes of St. Bernard Parish
for any signs of oil, and to date have not seen any impact on BLMC
property. We have taken core soil samples at various locations
along BLMC’s property to establish a baseline data set in the event
of oil encroachment. As a large stakeholder in the area, BLMC’s
personnel continue to work closely with BP, State and local
authorities, to assist in assessment and response to the spill.
Currently booms are deployed along parts of BLMC property with
additional booms being deployed in the area.
BLMC’s Lessee’s and B&L Exploration’s oil and gas operations
in St. Bernard Parish are not being affected by the spill at this
time.
Planned Actions
BLMC’s personnel will continue to monitor the property and
assist the proper authorities as requested. Impacts, if any, will
be documented and accounted to protect BLMC as a landowner in the
area of the spill.
