Description:The purpose of this final Restoration Plan/Environmental Assessment (RP/EA) is to describe how the Trustees for the St. Louis River Interlake/Duluth Tar (SLRIDT) Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration (NRDAR) – the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, the 1854 Treaty Authority, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources – will utilize funds obtained through resolution of claims for natural resource damages for the restoration of natural resources and services injured by the release of hazardous substances at the SLRIDT Site. Injuries to natural resources in the 93.6-acre Response Action Area (which is the Assessment Area for the purposes of this NRDAR), including surface water, sediment, aquatic invertebrates, aquatic vegetation, fish, birds, and other wildlife, were caused by exposure of those resources primarily to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). These injuries resulted in a loss of the ecological and recreational services that Assessment Area resources would otherwise have provided.
