Deepwater Horizon Natural Resource Damage Assessment Alabama Trustee Implementation Group Final Restoration Plan IV and Environmental Assessment: Wetlands, Coastal, and Nearshore Habitats; Nutrient Reduction; Birds; Oysters; and Provide and Enhance Recreational Opportunities and Finding of No Significant Impact

The natural resource trustee agencies for the Alabama Trustee Implementation Group (Alabama TIG) have prepared the "Final Restoration Plan IV and Environmental Assessment: Wetlands, Coastal, and Nearshore Habitats; Nutrient Reduction; Birds, Oysters; and Provide and Enhance Recreational Opportunities" (Final RP/EA) and a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI). The Final RP/EA selects projects to partially restore resources injured in the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill. The Final RP/EA evaluates a reasonable range of 11 project 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 $24,000,000.
