Description:"The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is the lead federal agency for National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance for the Tug Barge DBL 152 Oil Spill restoration project. The selected restoration alternative identified by NOAA consists of shoreline protection and salt marsh restoration on the northern shoreline of East Galveston Bay. This project is designed to help restore natural resources injured by discharges of oil from the Tug Barge DBL 152 in federal waters of the Gulf of Mexico, beginning November 11, 2005. As documented in the DARP/EA, the selected project is expected to have an overall beneficial impact on ecosystem function and species biodiversity. The project's goals include benefits to various species, improvement of habitat function, and protection of existing habitat. Because the project is intended to restore natural resources, it is expected to cause a net increase to habitat productivity and improve ecosystem function"--Cover letter summary.
