what would be the after effect of the beaches if mass equipment were used in the oil spill clean up?

when seeing news footage of the clean up in the gulf, i see footage that shows things like 5 guys out there with shovels and trash bags. to mee this seams a little insignificant. question is why cant they bring in heavy duty equipment, say a thousand bull dozers and dump trucks, just skim the top 10 inches of sand, find some place to dump it, for example an abandoned rock quarry, tell BP to build a refinery and refine it over the next 10 years. would this cause environmental issues to the beaches to lose the top 10 inches of sand.

First - there is not that much oil to need more than a single dozer and an inch or two of sand. Second, the smarter thing would be to bring in a dirt burner - a device built to rehab soil that has been inundated with oil. The dirt is passed through the device exposing it to a flame of several hundred degrees effectively burning the oil and cleaning the dirt. The dirt is then returned to it's source location.
In actually the usual situation you see on the news is overkill. They could do the work just as effectively with half the people and certainly a significantly lower number of bags.

PACCAR (NASDAQ:PCAR) is a global technology leader in the design, manufacture and customer support of premium light-, medium- and heavy-duty trucks under the Kenworth, Peterbilt and DAF nameplates. The company also provides customized financial services, information technology and truck parts related to its principal business.

PACCAR reported improved revenues and net income for the second quarter of 2010, said Mark C. Pigott, chairman and chief executive officer. Against a backdrop of global truck markets that are only gradually emerging from historically low levels, PACCAR's results reflect the benefits of higher truck and parts sales and improving financial services profits worldwide. Our customers are benefiting from increased freight tonnage, which has resulted in higher fleet utilization rates, resulting in positive gains for our aftermarket parts sales. I am very proud of our 16,000 employees who have delivered superior results to our shareholders in a challenging global business climate.

PACCAR's excellent balance sheet, including over $2.1 billion in manufacturing cash and marketable securities, and positive operating cash flow have enabled ongoing investments which enhance operating efficiency and the development of innovative new products, such as the PACCAR MX diesel engine which went into production in Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks in June, noted Pigott. The U.S. and Canadian truck market is gradually adjusting to higher priced vehicles resulting from the EPA 2010 emissions change. The European truck market is still lagging behind last year's volumes, but DAF achieved a significant increase in market share, which has delivered improved financial results.
