Following the 2010 Deepwater Horizon Oil Disaster, a subcontractor at BP's Atlantis oil rig provided “e-mails, a BP database and other documents” to Food &amp; Water Watch. These documents indicated that BP had violated its own policies by not having all the necessary engineering documents on board the Atlantis when the rig started operations in 2007. The subcontractor, Kenneth Abbott, would later file a lawsuit with Food &amp; Water Watch against then Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar and the Minerals and Management Service. The lawsuit sought to stop the operation of Atlantis.
