producing wells were toppled and buried in sediment. The Coast Guard, with support from

NOAA and the BSEE, oversaw the design, installation and operation of a Rapid Response

Solution (RRS) subsurface system designed by the Louisiana based Couvillon Group.

The containment and collection system was developed and implemented in fve months to quickly stem the fow of oil. The system has recovered more than 375,000 gallons of oil since it was installed. Environmental protection continues, with the Coast Guard overseeing continuous oil collection and containment sys- tem maintenance. These scientifc successes are made possible through the collaborative efforts of the interagency team of oil spill responders and scientifc experts. The Coast Guard and Na- tional Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will continue to support the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement efforts to use
