Wednesday afternoon Florida approved the boom contractor to begin laying the final tier of booms in Santa Rosa County. The additional boom deployment, which starts today, includes 10 sites above and beyond those in the plan approved by the Deepwater Horizon Unified Command.
Okaloosa County will "probably" start deploying booms Friday, said county Public Safety Director Dino Villani. Okaloosa County plans to do a practice deployment Friday morning in Destin's East Pass to test its swift water boom system. Boat traffic will remain open.
