Any news on orange beach/gulfshores?

---

When i got there, a large crew of about 150 workers were sitting in the shade under the canopy of the state park that's there.I walked all the way out to the beach on the Gulf,shot some pictures and talked to some people on the beach. There were no workers cleaning the beach.
There was oil and tar-balls as far as you could see. I was there for aout 3 hours and when i left, the workers were still sitting under the shage. Never moved.
This is what i'm hearing over here from everyone,no one is working,just sitting.
What the hell?

TABLE III:4-2. PERMISSIBLE HEAT EXPOSURE THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Work Load* ------------
Work/rest regimen Light Moderate Heavy Continuous work

30.0°C (86°F) 26.7°C (80°F) 25.0°C (77°F) --- 75% Work, 25% rest, each hour

30.6°C (87°F) 28.0°C (82°F) 25.9°C (78°F) --- 50% Work, 50% rest, each hour

31.4°C (89°F) 29.4°C (85°F) 27.9°C (82°F) --- 25% Work, 75% rest, each hour

32.2°C (90°F) 31.1°C (88°F) 30.0°C (86°F)

*Values are in °C and °F, WBGT. These TLV's are based on the assumption that nearly all acclimatized, fully clothed workers with adequate water and salt intake should be able to function effectively under the given working conditions without exceeding a deep body temperature of 38°C (100.4° F). They are also based on the assumption that the WBGT of the resting place is the same or very close to that of the workplace. Where the WBGT of the work area is different from that of the rest area, a time-weighted average should be used (consult the ACGIH 1992-1993 Threshold Limit Values for Chemical Substances and Physical Agents and Biological Exposure Indices (1992). These TLV's apply to physically fit and acclimatized individuals wearing light summer clothing. If heavier clothing that impedes sweat or has a higher insulation value is required, the permissible heat exposure TLV's in Table III:4-2 must be reduced by the corrections shown in Table III:4-3.

Local volunteers would get more done than these paid contractors.
