• Unified Area Command estimates release rate of oil from Deepwater Horizon at 12,000 to 19,000 barrels per day. The containment dome is recovering approximately 15,000 barrels per day.

• Unified Area Command continues with a comprehensive oil well intervention and spill response planning following the April 22 sinking of the Transocean Deepwater Horizon drilling rig 130 miles southeast of New Orleans.

• Oil-water mix recovered: approximately 16 million gallons

• Response vessels available: more than 4,500

• Response aircraft available: 62

• Dispersant (in gallons): approximately 1,143,000 deployed

• There is no planned use of dispersants in Florida waters.
• According to the NOAA oil plume model, the primary oil plume is 13 miles from Pensacola, 100 miles from Gulf County, and 280 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 Friday, mainly near Pensacola and East Bay.
