The natural resource trustee agencies for the Mississippi Trustee Implementation Group (MS TIG) have prepared the Draft Restoration Plan 5 and Environmental Assessment: Nutrient Reduction and Birds (Draft RP5/EA). The Draft RP5/EA analyzes projects to partially restore resources injured in the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill. The Draft RP5/EA evaluates a reasonable range of five action 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). A No Action alternative is also analyzed for each restoration type. The total cost to implement the TIGs' three preferred alternatives is approximately $19,500,000, which would be paid for from the Nutrient Reduction (Nonpoint Source) and Birds Restoration Type allocations as set out in the 2016 Consent Decree. The MS TIG invites comments on the Draft RP5/EA.
