Damage Assessment and Restoration Plan and Environmental Assessment for the Point Comfort/Lavaca Bay NPL Site Recreational Fishing Service Losses

摘要

This Final Damage Assessment and Restoration Plan and Environmental Assessment (Final DARP/EA) has been prepared by state and federal natural resource trustees to address recreational fishing services affected by releases of hazardous substances from the Alcoa Point Comfort/Lavaca Bay NPL Site. It is intended to inform members of the public on the Trustees' assessment of recreational fishing service losses attributable to this Site and on the restoration actions that the Trustees have selected for use to compensate for those losses. This document explains how the Trustees chose these restoration actions, how the actions selected differ from those proposed in the first public review draft of this document, and the basis for those changes. It addresses the purpose and need for the restoration actions, the restoration alternatives considered, and the potential impact of restoration actions on the quality of the physical, biological, and cultural environment.
