Earlier this month, the EPA gave BP officials 24 hours to choose a less toxic chemical solution, prompting GET to recommend their line of non-toxic G-MARINE products including G-MARINE OSC-1809.   Green Earth Technologies was then asked to submit the solution to a preferred testing facility, where they met and exceeded all requirements for the Surface Washing Agent.  Their dispersant formula, which can be applied in shallow water, is still under review by an EPA certified laboratory.

Surface Washing Agents are identified as a product that will clean and remove oil once it has migrated to the shoreline or beaches.  Surface Washing Agents are primarily used on solid surfaces and objects though if they are non toxic, they can be used on plants and or animals.  These products are the final line of defense in the abatement of oil spills (according to the EPA's NCP: Definitions - 40 CFR 300.5).    Surface washing agent is any product that removes oil from solid surfaces, such as beaches and rocks, through a detergency mechanism and does not involve dispersing or solubilizing the oil into the water column.

G-MARINE OSC-1809 Surface Washing Agent is made from a base of plant, tree, fruit and vegetable extracts that can be produced in large enough quantities to fulfill anticipated needs.  In addition to being applied to shoreline and beaches, this GREEN solution can be safely and satisfactorily used to clean animals and water fowl without danger to the health of the animals, birds or human helpers.

"It continues to be a challenge when introducing innovative technologies and new ways of thinking into existing testing structures and protocol," says Jeffrey Loch, Founder & Chief Marketing Officer of Green Earth Technologies. "However, we are pleased that our Surface Washing Agent was able to satisfy the EPA's requirements contained in Title 40 of the CFR Section 300.915 of the NCP without compromising our ideologies of GREEN."

Green Earth Technologies is a "totally green" clean tech company that combines renewable sourced feed stocks and base oils with proprietary technologies molded around the four ideologies of being GREEN: biodegradable, renewable, recyclable and environment safe.  Chemicals when stored or transported use a diamond shape diagram of symbols and numbers to indicate the degree of hazard associated with a particular chemical or material.  G-MARINE OSC-1809 scores a "0" in all four categories.  The product is non-flammable, no personal protection or exposure controls necessary and, as defined by OSHA's Hazard Communication Standards, is non-hazardous with no evidence of adverse effects.

The technical data for this product will be kept on file by the Office of Emergency Management's Regulation and Policy Division pursuant to 40 CFR section 300.920. For more information go to the company website at www.getg.com.
