ACTION PLAN #38 Gulf Coast Oil Spill 6/11/2010 0800 EDT
(Deepwater Horizon Rig)
4. SECTION/FUNCTIONAL GROUP/AGENCY 5. OPERATIONAL PERIOD
COMPLETING REPORT
CGA Governmental Services Friday, June 11, 2010: 0700hrs – 0700hrs
6. SUMMARY OF CURRENT SITUATION, OPERATIONS, AND OBJECTIVES
Message from the CCO: “How well we do our job is determined more by the general public than anyone else.”
Safety Message: Have a safe weekend and avoid driver fatigue when driving.
Weather Summary:
Relatively weak winds (below 10 knots) are expected today and should continue out of the south or southeast
through the weekend. This wind flow may continue to push portions of the oil plume towards the Florida
Panhandle in the next 72 hours; however, near-shore ocean currents are forecast to become more westward in
the next few days which will help limit the eastward movement of the oil plume and windows of sheen.
Weather conditions will be favorable for recovery operations through the weekend with less than a 20%
chance of rain and seas at around 2 feet.
Local Weather:
Friday:
Mostly sunny in the morning then becoming partly cloudy. Highs 89 to 94. Southeast winds around 10 mph
shifting to the south in the afternoon. Seas 1 to 2 ft. Protected waters smooth to a light chop.
Friday Night:
Partly cloudy. Lows around 70 inland...71 to 74 at the coast. Southwest winds around 10 mph shifting to the
west after midnight. Seas 1 to 2 ft. Protected waters smooth.
The Boom deployment strategy occurs in 4 stages: Securing of the Boom, Staging of the Boom,
Deployment of the Boom and Boom Implementation
• Operations: Today is the last day of HazMat Operations Training. Operations will be performing morning
site visits. Operations will be coordinating with Unified and the Planning Section to begin updating the
Booming Contigency Plan.
• Logistics: Supplemental safety equipment has been ordered for the Staging Sites. Job Site fencing for Site
2 is being arranged. Ice and water are high priority supplies that need to be maintained at the Staging
Sites. Staging Areas continue to receive Boom. Route plan and schedule for Logistics Facility Courier is
in development.
• Planning: Will be coordinating with Unified and Operations in the updating of the Booming Contingency
Plan. The Planning Section will be identifying the 5 designated Protected Historical Archeological Sites
from the Department of State and ensure that they are considered during the boom planning
update.
• Finance: Be sure to submit all paperwork – 214 Forms, Expenditures etc. Finance is also working on the
development of a centralized communication hub for file sharing and tracking.
• PIO/ Security: The PIO / Security Officer is coordinating security for booms and arranging the deputy
patrols of the Staging Sites.
214: All CGA related personel are directed to forward 214s to DeepHorizon214@gmail.com Besure that the
Finance section has all 214s and expenses submitted by 15 June.
WHO IS YOUR BACK UP: Do you know who your back up is when you are off? Does this person know that
they are you back up? Besure your function is covered when you are unavailable.
DRESS CODE: “Your supervisor or department head is responsible for establishing a reasonable dress code
appropriate to the job you perform. Consult your supervisor if you have questions as to what constitutes
appropriate appearance. Where necessary, reasonable accomodation may be made to a person with a disability.”
(CGA Employee Handbook)
BE AWARE OF WHAT YOU ARE SAYING: When having conversations outside the RCC be aware that
your comments may be misintrepreted.
STAGING AREAS: The staging areas are now considered “construction sites” in which access will be
restricted. Any CGA personnel entering these sites will be required to provide vehicle placard, appropriate ID,
and will have to be wearing long pants, boots, safety vest, and hard hat while on the premises.
3. Safety Precautions:
Driver Fatigue
Fatigue is the result of physical or mental exertion that impairs performance. Driver fatigue may be due to a lack
of adequate sleep, extended work hours, strenuous work or non-work activities, or a combination of other
factors. The Large Truck Crash Causation Study (LTCCS) reported that 13 percent of Commercial Motor
Vehicle (CMV) drivers were considered to have been fatigued at the time of their crash.
Below are some tips that will help you stay healthy and well rested during all your trips.
Terri Kanamine is the designated Safety Officer. However, 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.
4. Area Update:
On June 9, dime to six inch-sized tar balls and tar patties were found in widely scattered areas from the
Alabama/Florida state line east to Okaloosa County. Tar ball and tar patty findings are more
concentrated in the western-most Florida counties. Clean up teams continue to be on scene. Oil sheen
has been reported off the Navarre Beach area and on the Alabama/Florida state line.
Perdido Pass will be closed with the tide to prevent oil from entering the Bay. Boom will be deployed
across the Pass at flood tide (water coming in) and removed at ebb tide (water going out).
According to NOAA projections, additional impacts are expected throughout northwest Florida within the
next 72 hours due to onshore winds.
5. State Update:
As of June 9, 2010, Perdido Pass, a navigable waterway, is restricted during incoming tides and is
open during outgoing tides.
Sporadic reports of tarballs and/or areas of light sheen have been confirmed by reconnaissance teams
from Escambia to Bay County. Oil sheen and mousse confirmed in Perdido Pass.
Oil Containment Boom (in feet) total: 311,780 deployed in Florida.
o Tier 1: 152,000 / Tier 2: 123,500
o Tier 3: 42,180 (Deployed by Florida contractors)
In accordance with established plans, protective booming and boom maintenance is being conducted in
the coastal areas of Bay, Escambia, Franklin, Gulf, Okaloosa, Santa Rosa, and Walton Counties.
According to the NOAA oil plume model, the oil plume remains 100 miles from Gulf County, and 295
miles from St. Petersburg, with non contiguous sheens and scattered tarballs closer. NOAA trajectories
show direct on-shore impacts of scattered tarballs and light sheen through the weekend, for coastal
regions near and west of Pensacola.
BP issued a $25 million block grant to Florida; first priority is booming.
BP has issued a second $25 million grant to Florida for a national tourism advertising campaign. ESF 18
– Business, Industry, and Economic Development has launched a national radio and print advertising
campaign for Florida tourism.
6. Federal Update: Current projections estimate Deepwater Horizon’s discharge at 12,000 to 19,000 barrels
per day. BP has placed a Lower Marine Riser Package (LMRP) Cap Containment System in an attempt to
contain the leak and capture a substantial amount of the leaking oil. BP has begun pumping gas and oil to
the surface. There is hope that a significant portion of the flow will be captured, but this is only a
temporary and partial fix. On June 9, 15,800 barrels were captured from the LMRP Cap Containment
System. Meanwhile, BP is continuing efforts to drill relief wells.
