NOC Phase 2- Concern 0455-10 Update Report 43DEEPWATER HORIZON Response Gulf of Mexico

Current: The US Coast Guard (USCG) reports the second cofferdam is a redesign of the top piece of the existingcofferdam that will avoid the build-up of the clogging hydrate crystals with an expected completion time of up to 2weeks. British Petroleum (BP), Houston continues researching 4 different options (containment, Blowout Preventer(BOP), top kill, and relief wells) to contain the source leak. BP is attempting to install a pressure gauge on the BOPto get an accurate oil release amount. There are no In Situ burns or skimming operations scheduled for today, 11May. Booming and dispersant operations are ongoing. To date, 97,688 barrels of oil water mixture have beenrecovered and 1 175,400 feet of boom have been assigned. Surface dispersants applied on 10 May was 56,220gallons and total to date is 428,307 gallons. Subsea dispersants applied to date is 16,399 gallons.Future: Drill Rig DD Ills scheduled to arrive Thursday, 13 May and start drilling a 2T1d1 well on Sunday, 16 May.The National Oceanic and AtmosphericAdministration forecasts southeast winds at 10 20 knots over the next 48hours and seas are forecast to be 3 5 feet and choppy. The Department of Homeland Security NationalOperations Center will continue to monitor this event. The next Senior Leadership Brief and Update Report will bepublished at 1800 EDT.Other: Shipping channels I ports remain open in the Gulf Coast region. 3 CG cutters and 2 commercial vessel areoutfitted with a Vessel of Opportunity Skimming System and will be deployed to the eastern side of southern tip ofLouisiana to conduct oil skimming operations.Background: On 21 Apr 10, the USCG reported an ongoing fire after an explosion onboard a mobile drillingplatform, DEEPWATER HORIZON, off the coast of Louisiana.

NOC Phase 2 - Concern 0455-10 Update Report 85DEEPWATER HORIZON ResDonse - Gulf of Mexico

Current: The National Incident Command (NIC) reports the first cu t of the riser remains scheduled for today.Chock and kill lines, and associated piping, are being cleared away from the top of the well. Drill Rig DDIII is at adepth of 12,090 feet below the drill floor and is 7 days ahead of schedule. The Lower Marine Riser Package(LMRP) TOP CAP has a dispersant ring designed to allow injection of subsea dispersants around its outside, alongwith a wand to inject dispersants into the plume at the to p o f the riser while wait ing to install the LMRP TO P CAP.The US Coast Guard reports 17 in situ burns and 8 dispersant flights were conducted over the past 24 hou rs . Thetotal oily water mixture recovered, to date, is 329,842 barrels; total surface dispersants applied, to date, is 755,893gallons and total subsea dispersants applied, to date, is 225,408 gallons. A t ot al o f 1,949,795 feet of boom hasbeen assigned, to date, A federal mobile medical unit, staffed by US Health and Human Services personnel,arrived in Venice, LA to provide additional medical care for responders and residents of coastal communitiesaffected by the oil spill.Future: A second generation TOP CAP, completed at Port Fourchon, is scheduled to arrive today, 1 Jun. Thesecond generation TO P CAP is more robust with additional weight to increase stabilization and has oil vent portson top to control vertical and horizontal motion. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)forecasts south winds at 10 knots and seas at 1-2 feet. The Department of Homeland Security National OperationsCenter will continue to monitor this event. The next Senior Leadership Brief will be published at 1200 EDT 1 Jun10.Other: NOAA extended the northern boundary of the closed fishing area in the Gulf of Mexico up to the Mississippifederal-state water line and portions of the Alabama federal-state water line. This federal closure does not apply toany state waters. Approximately 126 miles of Louisiana shoreline is impacted by oil, Wildlife impacted to datetotals 841 animals.Background: On 21 Apr 10, the USCG reported an ongoing fire after an explosion onboard a mob il e drillingplatform, DEEPWATER HORIZON, off the coast of LA .TimelDate of Report: 0600 EDT 1 Jun 10 Report prepared by: DHS National Operations Center

On 20 Apr at 2200 EDT, the Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU) DEEPWATERHORIZON reported an explosion and fire aboard. DEEPWATER HORIZON sank on 22Apr, and the ocean floor welihead, located approximately 52-miles southeast of Venice,LA, continues to release oil at a rate of 5,000* barrels per day.On 11 May, the USCGreports a Gamma Rayimaging scan on theblowout preventer (BOP)has confirmed the fourmajor rams are closed.Additionally, a sonic scanwas performed on theriser to analyze the risersintegrity; results arepending.The second containmentdome (cofferdam)continues to be modifiedat Por t Fourchon, LA.

Nationai Infrastructure Coordinating CenterCurrent Situation Reporthat. Construction should be completed by Thursday, with installation planned over theweekend, weather permitting.There were no skimming operations or in situ burns conducted today due to adverseweather conditions. The use of dispersants and the application of air dispersants werecancelled today due to safety concerns from the State of Louisiana.Snare boom were deployed today around Dauphin Island to catch any additional tarballs coming ashore. Various aerial surveys are underway along the shorelines to verifythe spills leading edge, locate any marine mammals and turtles, and identify status ofboom that may need to be reconfigured due to weather.The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service reported there were unconfirmed presences of tarballs on Bon Secour earlier today and ranged in size from about 1-12 inches scatteredalong a two-mile stretch of beach on the eastern Perdue Unit of Bon Secour NationalWildlife Refuge. Neither the age nor the source of the tar balls has been determined atthis point.
