Abstract
The Deepwater Horizon (DWH) natural resource Trustees for the Open Ocean Trustee Implementation Group (Open Ocean TIG) have prepared the Draft Restoration Plan 4 and Environmental Assessment: Fish and Water Column Invertebrates (FWCI) and Sea Turtles (RP4/EA). The Draft RP4/EA proposes alternatives to help restore fish and water column invertebrates and sea turtles impacted by the DWH oil spill. The Draft RP4/EA evaluates twelve restoration 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 evaluated pursuant to the NEPA. The total estimated cost to implement the Open Ocean TIG's 10 preferred alternatives is approximately $210,020,000. The Open Ocean TIG invites the public to comment on the Draft RP4/EA.
