Terrebonne Parish Information 1) Coast Guard representatives in Cocodrie reported: • A large percentage of the protection boom currently in place are in offshore positions and are currently boomed with either 18 or 20 inch harbor boom meant for protected waters. This is hampering both the ability to maintain proper protection/placement of the boom and is a resource drain to re-set the majority of all booms on a daily basis. • Total personnel in Cocodrie: 733 • National Incident Commander reports that the daily average oil recovery is estimated at 15,000 barrels per day. • The “Top Cap” continues to collect 15,000 barrels of fluid per day. BP plans to continue with the side manifolds at the well head. • Heat continues to be an issue with over 105 degree heat index. Next week, breezes may bring some relief from temperatures. • Cocodrie requests improved communications with the Pointe Aux Chenes Camp. Cecil Lawson was not notified of the establishment of the jack barge. He only realized that it was there when his own personnel reported it being there. • The Marine Safety and Security Team discovered some potential debris from the Deepwater Horizon. • Security at Cocodrie has been turned over to a private security company.
