Booming Situation Report:

**NOTE**
Unified's reconciliation of the total amount of boom installed showed that 144,500 ft, or approximately 27.4 miles
was installed, which was 600 ft more than the Franklin County Boom Contingency Plan called for. The additional
amount was due to an operational change needed to reach the end coordinates.

ONE TEAM ONE MISSION 4

ICS 202
WE ARE GUESTS IN THE COMMUNITY: All personnel should be cautious of their actions while on and off duty.
The sensitivity of the current situation has caused people in the community to become stressed, any inappropriate actions
on the part of our profesionals only increases that stress and causes issue.
Safety Precautions:
The more we work in a potentially hazardous environment the more complacent we can become. Pay Attention,
Go to the Safety Meeting and remember –Only you can prevent accidents.

EVERYONE IS A SAFETY OFFICER.

When a potential hazard is discovered:
1. Make sure that everyone else in your workplace is aware of the problem.
2. Notify your supervisor. Unless you are the supervisor; then get going on that safety committee plan.
3. File any reports or documents about the problem.
4. Follow up. Telling someone there’s a problem is not a guarantee that the problem will be resolved
satisfactorily. Report it and later follow up to make sure the problem was addressed.
Area Update:
• Approximately 466,100 feet of hard boom and 8,580 feet of sorbent boom have been placed in Northwest Florida
along the most sensitive areas. Additionally, counties in the region are moving forward with supplemental
booming plans. As of July 14, 316,261 feet of supplemental boom has been deployed or staged by Florida
contractors.

Tar balls, tar mats and light sheen continue to be reported in Northwest Florida. View the latest reconnaissance
reports Landfall Reports and Predictions here.
• Continued impacts will be possible in Northwest Florida over the next 72 hours.
• Five state-leased skimmers continue to operate in Northwest Florida to protect sensitive inland water bodies.
These skimmers are operating at the passes in Escambia, Okaloosa, Bay, Gulf and Franklin Counties.
• Nearly 90 percent of Florida’s more than 1,260 miles of
coastline remains unimpacted.
• If oil is sighted on Florida’s coastline report it to the State Warning Point at 1-877-2-SAVE-FL (1-877-272-
8335) or by dialing #DEP from most cell phones.
• Pensacola Pass as well as Perdido Pass will continue to be closed with the tide to reduce the amount of oil
entering inland waters. These waterways are manned to allow access to necessary vessel traffic and are open for
vessel traffic during low tide. See NOAA tide predictions.
• Observations by NOAA continue to indicate no significant amounts of oil moving toward the Loop Current.
The Loop Current Ring, a circular current which was formerly part of the Loop Current provides no clear path
for oil to enter the Florida Straits.
• There have been no reports of Deepwater Horizon oil spill-related products reaching the shore beyond the
Northwest Florida region. There is no indication that the rest of the state will have impacts from weathered oil
products within the next 72 hours.
• No significant tropical activity is expected in the next 48 hours.

State Update:
 The State Emergency Operations Center is activated at Level 1.

 Three Florida branch offices are fully operational in Northwest Florida.
 On July 14, Governor Crist sent a letter to Doug Suttles, Chief Operating Officer for Exploration & Production for
BP America Inc, in response to BP’s denial of Florida’s request for additional tourism marketing and advertising
funds for local counties affected by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Learn more.
 On July 14, Commander Joe Boudrow announced plans to form a working group to improve the Vessel of
Opportunity Program (VoO) in Florida, which employs boat owners and their crews to help in the response across the
Gulf. The Commander announced the working group after hearing concerns at a community meeting with
commercial fisherman and other community members in Apalachicola. Learn more.
 BP claimants should be aware of potential online or local claims scams. Report suspected claims fraud to 1-877-359-
6281.
 DEP continues to conduct water sampling monitoring to establish baseline conditions throughout the state. Learn
more about sampling and results at www.dep.state.fl.us/deepwaterhorizon/water.htm.
 DEP's Office of Coastal and Aquatic Managed Areas is conducting water sampling under the Natural Resource
Damage Assessment (NRDA) process. Learn more.
 Real-time sampling data from statewide air quality monitoring can be viewed at
http://www.dep.state.fl.us/deepwaterhorizon/air.htm. Air quality reports for July 14 revealed that air quality was
considered good for ozone and moderate for fine particulate concentrations in Northwest Florida. “Good” means the
air quality is satisfactory and air pollution poses little or no risk. “Moderate” means air quality is acceptable for most
people.

Federal Update:
 Current projections estimate Deepwater Horizon’s discharge at 35,000 to 60,000 barrels per day.
 The “capping stack” procedure, designed to capture greater quantities of oil, was installed on July 12. Additional
analysis of the well testing procedure is currently being performed. The next step is a well integrity test, which
involves closing one or more of the valves on the new cap for a period of time to allow BP to measure pressures in
the well. Learn more.
 BP continues efforts to drill two relief wells.
