July 21 Update - Don't load those lat/long boom coordinates into your boat's GPS unit just yet. All of Franklin County's Tier I-III boom is coming out of the water today through Friday in advance of stormy conditions expected later this weekend.
Beginning early this morning, U.S. Coast Guard, along with BP and County contractors began removing the protective orange, red and yellow floating boom from Franklin County waters with the plan to redeploy when and if it is determined necessary.
Persistent ESE and SE winds are forecast to continue through Thursday then become NE on Friday - a phenomenon that continues to hold oil plumes well offshore. As has been the case for several weeks now, Franklin County continues to be outside any boundary of potential impact through the 72 -hour forecast period.
As of July 21, NOAA scientists say no new surface oil has been observed in the vicity of the Louisiana oil-spill.
