Responsiveness Summary for the Study Plan for the Waterfowl Injury Assessment: Determining PCB Concentrations in Hudson River Resident Waterfowl. Hudson River Natural Resource Damage Assessment. Final.

摘要

Pursuant to the Hudson River Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) Plan (Hudson River Natural Resource Trustees 2002), the Trustees developed a Draft Study Plan Waterfowl Injury Assessment PCBs in Hudson River Resident Waterfowl (Draft Waterfowl Injury Study Plan) (Hudson River Natural Resource Trustees 2007), and engaged in public review of that Draft Waterfowl Injury Study Plan. On May 23, 2007, the Draft Waterfowl Injury Study Plan was released by the Trustees to the public. In that Draft Waterfowl Injury Study Plan, the Trustees asked the public and the party(ies) responsible for the contamination to review the Draft Waterfowl Injury Study Plan and provide feedback on the proposed approach. The Draft Waterfowl Injury Study Plan noted that the Trustees sought public input to help in planning and conducting an assessment that is scientifically valid, cost effective, and that incorporates a broad array of perspectives. Peer review of the Draft Waterfowl Injury Study Plan was conducted concurrently with the public release of the study plan for public review and comment.
