1969, 42 U.S.C. 4321-4370d; 40 CFR 1500-1500 and other federal and
local statutes and regulations as applicable. The NRDA Restoration
Project Information Sheet is designed to facilitate the collection of

This information will be used by the Natural Resource Trustees to
develop potential restoration alternatives for natural resource
injuries and service losses requiring restoration, during the
restoration planning phase of the NRDA process. This information is

there are no individual benefits that depend on the submission of
