Responsiveness Summary for the Study Plan for Mink Injury Investigations for the Hudson River. 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 Study Plan for Mink Injury Investigations for the Hudson River, Draft for Public Review and Comment (Draft Mink Injury Study Plan) (Hudson River Natural Resource Trustees 2006a), and engaged in public review of that Draft Mink Injury Study Plan. On June 16, 2006, the Draft Mink Injury Study Plan was released by the Trustees to the public. In that Draft Mink Injury Study Plan, the Trustees asked the public and the party(ies) responsible for the contamination to review the Draft Mink Injury Study Plan and provide feedback on the proposed approach. The Draft Mink Injury Study Plan noted that the Trustees sought public input to help them 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 Mink Injury Study Plan had been conducted prior to release of the study plan for public review and comment.
