SITREP #2: DEEP WATER <strong>HORIZON</strong> OIL SPILL RESPONSE; 30 Apr 2010<br />
Equipment and Personnel Status: <strong>ESSM</strong> gear per attached list ordered to date. Gear represents 57<br />
(original) + 18 (new) truckloads of which all have left the CONUS <strong>ESSM</strong> bases and 22 arrived in Gulfport,<br />
Mississippi. 2 SUPSALV civpers are in Gulfport along with 21 GPC contractors. 10 more GPC contractors<br />
expected to arrive tomorrow.<br />
Previous Activities: Met with CWO3 Peter Davenport, USCG, onboard Seacor Marine offshore support<br />
vessel JOHN COGHILL. First priority was deflection booming western tip of Ship Island, south of Gulfport.<br />
Staging on State Pier in Gulfport. Loaded and rigged 2000 feet of boom with moorings to drop. Additional<br />
Current Buster requested and ordered (reflected in truck totals above). Intention still to rig Current Busters<br />
on both port and starboard sides of JOHN COGHILL for skimming near well head as weather permits.<br />
Previous sitreps attached.<br />
Current Activities (30 APR): Completed loading and rigging 4000 feet of boom with mooring systems on<br />
JOHN COGHILL. Dropped first 1000 feet as planned; during deployment of second 1000 foot section, we<br />
were redirected into port with possible reassignment. Returned to port with 3000 feet of the original 4000<br />
feet of boom on the fantail. While at sea, crew left ashore prepared additional 4000 feet of boom for<br />
loading. Also set up Rigging, Shop, Command and SOLAS Bunk Vans on pier and received/ offloaded<br />
more equipment as it arrived. 1 more GPC contractor arrived. USCG ordered our wide body MARCO<br />
Class V skimming systems which were sourced (5) from Cheatham Annex and (4) from Port Hueneme.<br />
These represent the 18 additional trucks reported.<br />
Intentions Next 24 Hrs (01 MAY): Waiting for changes in tasking from USCG but can productively<br />
continue to mobilize, configure and assemble systems. 10 more GPC contractors expected to arrive<br />
tomorrow.<br />
Issues/Concerns: We are still about 55 mooring sets short, worst case. Since we have ordered all of our<br />
prepackaged sets, we are looking to make up sets from <strong>ESSM</strong> gear on hand at Cheatham/Port Hueneme<br />
and/or purchase.<br />
