BP originally committed $360 million to the project. Of that, $195 million has been spent so far.Garret Graves, who has been helping coordinate the project for the [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] governor, said the state will press on with the project, but will make the sand barriers deeper instead of extending them lengthwise. He said that will allow them to serve a dual purpose: protecting the shoreline from oil and restoring the coast.Jindal, a first-term Republican governor and former congressman who has been mentioned as possible presidential hopeful in 2012, has pronounced the sand barriers a "great success."
Jindal disputed the commission's findings on the berms."This report is partisan revisionist history at taxpayer expense," the governor said in a statement. "The [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] report's assertion that the berms did not pass the commission's 'cost benefit analysis' is insulting to the thousands of people whose way of life depends on the health of our working coast."A BP spokeswoman said the company had no comment.Over the summer, the state received grudging government approval to build 36 miles of berms, and it has erected roughly 14 miles so far. An estimated 19 million cubic yards of sand has been moved to make the barriers, which rise six feet above sea level and are around 300 feet wide at their base.
Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal ordered the berms built over the objections of scientists and federal agencies and secured money from BP [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] to do it out of frustration over what he saw as inaction by the Obama administration. During the crisis, Jindal boasted that the sand walls were stopping oil from coming ashore, and the idea proved popular in Louisiana.In its stinging report, however, the commission, appointed by President Barack Obama to investigate the spill, called the project "underwhelmingly effective, overwhelmingly expensive." Still, the panel did concede that the sand might ultimately prove helpful in Louisiana's long-term effort to restore its badly eroded coastline.
