Weather Summary:
High pressure over the region will provide moderate south-southeasterly winds around 10 knots today and will allow
these winds to persist. Near shore waves will also be out of the southeast today and tomorrow. Offshore chances of rain
are low at 30% today. However, closer to the coastline the rain chances increase to 50% which may hamper some
shoreline recovery operations. Heat indices will be near 100 degrees today. The southeasterly winds and waves will
continue to push the main portion of oil plume towards the northwest.

Booming Situation Report:
1) Boom Maintenance at Booming Site No. 10, 16 and 18
2) Retrieved boom that had broken free from Booming Site No. 16
3) Continued Boom Repairs and Inspections
**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.

Secured Boom:

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 475,600 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 15, 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.
• A tropical wave in the central Caribbean Sea has a 10 percent chance of becoming a tropical cyclone in the next 48
hours..

State Update:
 Tar balls, tar mats and light sheen continue to be reported in Northwest Florida. Continued impacts will be possible in
Northwest Florida over the next 72 hours. Five state-leased skimmers remain on standby in Northwest Florida to
protect sensitive inland water bodies. These skimmers are operating out of Escambia, Okaloosa, Bay, Gulf and
Franklin Counties. Pensacola Pass and 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.

 Oil Containment Boom (in feet) total: 796,461 deployed in Florida. Tier 1 &Tier 2: 481,000 / Tier 3: 315,461In

 accordance with established plans, protective booming, staging, and boom maintenance is being conducted along the
coast from Escambia to Franklin.
356 vessels are deployed in Florida for the Vessels of Opportunity program.

 1,231 Qualified Community Responders are working in the Florida Panhandle.

 Federal Fishery closure, west of Cape San Blas to state line. (see NOAA FB10-060)

 The NOAA oil plume model shows the oil plume 110 miles from Pensacola, and 116 miles from Panama City.
Trajectory forecasts scattered tarball fields already near shore may be carried onshore along the Panhandle coast.
Offshore, no oil has been observed within or moving towards Eddy Franklin and there is no clear path for oil to enter
the Florida Straits. In addition to $100,000 for Volunteer Florida to maintain a volunteer registration database, BP has
issued over $75 million in grants to Florida for booming, tourism advertising, and state preparedness and response
efforts. An additional $500,000 has been issued by BP to fund innovative technology solutions for Okaloosa City.

 BP claims in Florida total 30,763 with approximately $ 37,144,082.83 paid.

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

 • The State Emergency Response Team continues to focus on removing oil from the water and mitigating impacts to
Florida’s shoreline.

 • Three Florida branch offices are fully operational in Northwest Florida and a fourth branch office will open today in
Port St. Joe.

 • 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..

 • 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 15 revealed that air quality was
considered good for ozone and moderate for fine particulate concentrations in Northwest Florida. “Good” means the
air quality is 2 satisfactory and air pollution poses little or no risk. “Moderate” means air quality is acceptable for
most people

Federal Update:
 Currently Deepwater Horizon is not discharging any oil into the Gulf of Mexico. BP has begun conducting the well
integrity test, which is being closely monitored.

 During the well integrity test, operations on the first relief well have been temporarily stopped, as a precaution, while
