The natural resource trustee agencies for the Louisiana and Open Ocean Trustee Implementation Groups (the TIGs) have prepared and are making available to the public the Final Joint Restoration Plan and Environmental Assessment #1: Wetlands, Coastal, and Nearshore Habitats, Federally Managed Lands, Fish and Water Column Invertebrates, Submerged Aquatic Vegetation, Sea Turtles, and Birds Restoration of the Chandeleur Islands (Final RP/EA) and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI). The Final RP/EA analyzes projects to partially restore resources injured in the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill. The Final RP/EA evaluates a reasonable range of six 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 pursuant to NEPA. The total cost to implement the TIGs' two selected alternatives is approximately $372,000,000. The TIGs intend to allocate approximately $247,000,000 in DWH NRDA funds to implement the selected alternatives and the State of Louisiana is actively pursuing additional funding sources.
