Description:

"On or about April 20, 2010, BP Exploration and Production Inc. (BP) was using Transocean's mobile offshore drilling unit Deepwater Horizon to drill a well in the Macondo prospect (Mississippi Canyon 252-MC252) when the well blew out, and the drilling unit exploded, caught fire and subsequently sank in the Gulf of Mexico (the Gulf). This incident resulted in an unprecedented volume of oil and other discharges from the rig and from the wellhead on the seabed. Pursuant to the Oil Pollution Act (OPA), Title 33 United States Code (U.S.C.) ʹʹ 2701 et seq., and the laws of individual affected states, federal and state agencies, Indian tribes and foreign governments act as trustees on behalf of the public to assess injuries to natural resources and their services that result from an oil spill incident, and to plan for restoration to compensate for those injuries. OPA further instructs the designated trustees to develop and implement a plan for the restoration, rehabilitation, replacement, or acquisition of the equivalent of the injured natural resources under their trusteeship (hereafter collectively referred to as 'restoration'). This document, prepared jointly by State and Federal Trustees, serves as a Final Phase V Early Restoration Plan (ERP) under OPA, and also contains the associated Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Phase V project under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) (collectively Final Phase V ERP/EA)"--Summary from cover letter.
