As of today and as posted on www.beachview.com "there is no oil, nor oil products in our area". However, boom was placed in the last few weeks at areas around Apalachicola. Alligator Point was to receive boom after work was completed for sites west of us, all in preparation in the event oil should come to our waters.

Franklin County contracted with Calvin-Giordano, consulting environmental engineers, to develop a boom deployment contingency plan for the County. The plan dated May 7, 2010 has since been updated. The new graphic layout of the plan is posted at: http://deepwaterhorizonresponse.calvin-giordano.com/gis/. Refer to the Franklin County Boom Deployment Contingency Plans for specific details regarding the plan for Alligator Point and for Bald Point.

Here’s a slide show of photos taken by Bill Wargo of boom being deployed at Alligator Point on Saturday June 26, 2010.
