You spent how many years in a USCG Marine Safety Office? (My first duty station).
How many oil spill responses did you go on? (I did several - including one of the trickiest - the Ryuyo Maru #2 on St Paul Island AK in 1980.....)
You think the spiller pays every time?
Bwaahahahaha...
Sonny you got a lot to learn.....
And " liable" be damned.... Just.because you can get some lawyers and a judge to agree that a polluter is liable doesn' t mean a proper cleanup will get done.
Some of these fuckers ( and not a small percentage) will simply dump detergent in the water and the oil congeals and sinks to the bottom...
You call that a cleanup??
Hey - ya don' t see no oil do ya???
Must be clean...
You implied the property owners would foot the bill (if you meant something different, apos for the misunderstanding).
If Amplify won’t clean it up (and with the lawyers they can afford, they might very well wriggle out of it), the property owners STILL won’t have to pay.

In responses where the accused liable party takes no action the USCG takes over. It' s been a while but I assume the MSO in Los Angeles would have jurisdiction.
But you can bet that homeowners will be taking action too. They will pay for the cleanup - because they don' t want to wait long periods of time with an oil soaked beach.
I don' t know how you think oil companies spend their money - but I guaran-fucking-tee they don' t spend much at all on oil spill preparedness....
