Incident Report Description

17 Tarballs were collected from the shoreline near the outflow area of Stallworth Lake, in Santa Rosa Beach FL. There was oil present here earlier in the week as well. It appeared that clean up crews had been in the area, yet within hours, contamination had continued to litter the shoreline. We are hoping clean up crews will be increased to deal with all the oil washing ashore since TS DEBBY. USCG investigated the scene and took the jar of oil to be sent in for lab analysis.
