My primary concern was the 6500 gallons of drilling fluid abandoned in the hole as with normal coastal erosion it ain’t gonna stay there, but it appears largely non-toxic? From research online it contains bentonite clay which is fine, but also unnamed “chemicals”. I can’t immediately find if that’s a problem, like if they contain heavy metals or anything sketchy.
Honestly that is a detail the author should have researched and included in the article if it was supposed to be actual journalism...
