48,800 feet of containment boom and 11,000 feet of sorbent boom are deployed now as well as 193 personnel, 2 helicopters, and a combination of 31 skimmers, boats and barges are responding to the incident. Oil skimming and recovery operations are ongoing in Mud Lake. Approximately 3 barrels, or 144 gallons of oily-water mix, has been recovered. - The required equipment for the firefighting barge has been properly secured to the barge and tested; - The Chevron and BP pipelines in the area have been marked to allow the responders to visually see their locations and ensure that no further damage is done from the temporary spuds that are used to anchor the support vessels; - A hydrographic survey is scheduled to be completed early July 31 which will ensure there is sufficient water depth for the response vessels; - A replacement crane barge was ordered and arrived Friday in Lafitte, La. Wild Well Control Inc. has been designated as the prime contractor to secure the leaking wellhead.
