Abstract
The natural resource trustee agencies for the Alabama Trustee Implementation Group (Alabama TIG) have prepared the "Draft Restoration Plan IV and Environmental Assessment: Wetlands, Coastal, and Nearshore Habitats; Nutrient Reduction; Birds, Oysters; and Provide and Enhance Recreational Opportunities" (Draft RP/EA). The Draft RP/EA proposes projects to partially restore resources injured in the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill. The Draft RP/EA evaluates a reasonable range of 11project alternatives under the Oil Pollution Act (OPA), including criteria set forth in the OPA natural resource damage assessment (NRDA) regulations, and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and its implementing regulations. A No Action alternative is also analyzed for each restoration type. The total cost to implement the Alabama TIG's seven preferred alternatives is approximately $23,000,000. The Alabama TIG invites comments on the Draft RP/EA.
