 satisfactorily. Report it and later follow up to make sure the problem was addressed.
Area Update:
 The State Emergency Operations Center is activated at Level 1 or full activation.
 The State continues to focus on mitigating impacts to Florida’s shoreline.
 A tropical wave in the Southwest Atlantic near Puerto Rico and Hispaniola has a 60 percent chance of becoming
a tropical depression within the next 48 hours.
 State reconnaissance teams operating by air, land and sea continue to identify potential impacts and are actively
coordinating with cleanup teams. View the latest reconnaissance reports.
 Four Florida branch offices are fully operational in Northwest Florida. These branch offices bring together
federal, state and local agencies to streamline response efforts.
 Currently Deepwater Horizon is not discharging any oil into the Gulf of Mexico. BP continues the well integrity
test, which is being closely monitored. Learn more.
 Isolated impacts are expected to continue in Northwest Florida over the next 72 hours. Nearly 90 percent of
Florida’s more than 1,260 miles of coastline remains unimpacted.
 Oil Impact Notices are posted for all Escambia County and Walton County Gulf beaches, as well as designated
beaches in Okaloosa County. Signs may remain in place until local authorities determine that beaches are no
longer impacted by the oil spill. Learn more.
 A portion of coastal state waters offshore of Escambia County is closed to the harvest of saltwater fish, crabs and
shrimp

State Update:
 -The State Emergency Response Team, in coordination with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection
(DEP), today announced the removal of supplemental Tier 3 boom within the next 72 to 96 hours in the
Panhandle counties. The removal is in light of the potential tropical activity in the Gulf of Mexico.
 “During a tropical storm boom can cause additional damage to the natural resources that we are trying to protect
from oil spill impacts,” said DEP Secretary Michael W. Sole. “Given the current oil spill trajectories and the
tropical activity in the Gulf of Mexico we think this is the best decision for Florida’s communities.”
 The removed boom and associated equipment will be temporarily stored in a secure location to protect it from
weather-related damage and to also protect fragile coastline from impacts caused by dislodged boom. Following
the tropical activity, should further oil spill impacts be projected, officials will redeploy the boom.
 Following the Deepwater Horizon incident, BP deployed protective boom along the most sensitive areas of
Florida’s coastline, in accordance with the US. Coast Guard’s Area Contingency Plan (ACP). In addition, the
state in close coordination with the counties deployed supplemental Tier 3 boom to further protect areas not
included in the ACP using funds from the $50 million awarded by BP.
 There is no planned use of dispersants in Florida waters.

Federal Update:
 Currently Deepwater Horizon is not discharging any oil into the Gulf of Mexico. BP well integrity testing is
ongoing and active monitoring continues. Progress continues on the two relief wells.
 This event has been designated a Spill of National Significance. Unified Area Command continues with a

approximately 65 percent of Gulf federal waters available for fishing. This federal closure does not apply to any
state waters.
