EnSol's technology can be used to reclaim the oil and tar, whilst restoring the beaches. It would take in a volume of contaminated sand, dissociate the components, extracting the oil and tar, thereby allowing clean sand to be deposited back onto the beach.
Robert Matthews of Plateau Mineral Development, Inc. , states, "The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and its negative environmental impact is of significant importance at present. It is our goal to eventually use the green, environmentally-friendly EnSol technologies in an effort to help with the clean-up process of this any future oil spills."

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., Dec. 3, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Plateau Mineral Development, Inc. (Pink Sheets:PMDP - News), along with its partner, Plateau Mineral Development LLC, announced today that its partner in environmental programs, Environmental Solutions, LLC (EnSol) has successfully completed its report based on the environmental laboratory testing done over the summer months at the EnSol lab. The results show reductions in dissolved nitrogen and greatly improved results in dissolved oxygen in the water. The test results were obtained via natural processes that represent no environmental threat in and of themselves.
The test was facilitated by Aubrey C. Williams Jr., PhD. Dr. Williams currently serves as an Assistant Professor at Southern University in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and is a member of the Louisiana Academy of Science. He has given a series of presentations on various environmental topics, and has received a Department of Energy fellowship award for his master graduate research.
Dr. Williams states, "We are pleased with the results of the environmental testing. We have demonstrated reductions in polluted water totaling more than 90%. The water needs to be cleaned up before it is re-introduced into the St. John's river, and then into the lakes and oceans. We are proud to take part in cleaning up one of the earth's greatest natural resources."
