Bacteriological sampling shows the waters of Bayou Marcus Creek and Perdido Bay are safe.
In a report to the Florida Department of Environmental Management, ECUA said 5.922 million gallons were spilled, and 222,660 gallons were collected. ECUA acknowledged in the report that the spill did reach Bayou Marcus Creek and surrounding wetlands.
