Description:This Final RP/EA has been prepared by the Trustees for the LDR to identify and analyze an action, the Shipyards Projects, to restore natural resources potentially injured and natural resource services lost due to releases of hazardous substances and discharges of oil into the LDR. The Trustees developed this Final RP/EA to inform the public about the specific restoration activities that the Trustees are evaluating that will likely compensate for the potential injuries to natural resources and related service losses caused by the releases of hazardous substances and discharges of oil into the LDR, including releases and discharges from the Harbor Island facility owned and operated by Vigor and formerly owned and operated by Exxon (“Vigor Harbor Island facility”).1 Vigor and Exxon have entered into a proposed consent decree with the Trustees, which was lodged concurrently with the public notice and comment period for this Final RP/EA. The proposed consent decree was also subject to a public notice and comment period. In this Final RP/EA, the Trustees are analyzing the restoration actions proposed in the consent decree: the Trustees will accept in settlement the Shipyards Projects, consisting of the West Waterway Habitat Bench Project (“WW Bench Project”) and the Southwest Yard Habitat Project (“SW Yard Project”). Collectively, the restoration actions that make up the Shipyards Projects are projected to generate ecological benefits at least equivalent to 340 discounted service acre years (“DSAYs”).2 The estimated ecological benefits to be created by the Shipyards Projects will offset the injuries to natural resources resulting from Vigor and Exxon’s releases of hazardous substances and discharges of oil from the Vigor Harbor Island facility.
