• Description:
  In the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Alabama Trustee Implementation Group Final Restoration Plan II and Environmental Assessment: Restoration of Wetlands, Coastal, and Nearshore Habitats; Habitat Projects on Federally Managed Lands; Nutrient Reduction (Nonpoint Source); Sea Turtles; Marine Mammals; Birds; and Oysters (RP II/EA), the Alabama (AL) Trustee Implementation Group (TIG) selected 20 projects for implementation, allocating funds from several restoration types identified in the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill consent decree, including the Marine Mammals Restoration type. This Supplemental Restoration Plan II and Environmental Assessment (Supplemental RP II/EA) supplements the RP II/EA, evaluating the AL TIG’s proposal to use additional funds from the Marine Mammals restoration type to extend the implementation of one or more projects selected in RP II/EA to continue the restoration of Marine Mammals. In this Supplemental RP II/EA, the Alabama TIG proposes using the remaining allocation of marine mammals’ restoration funds. Through this document, the AL TIG is supplementing the RP II/EA and providing information about additional proposed marine mammal projects. The AL TIG has determined that using additional funds under the Marine Mammals restoration type requires evaluation under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Additionally, in this Supplemental RP II/EA, the AL TIG is evaluating alternatives under the Oil Pollution Act (OPA) and its natural resource damage assessment (NRDA) regulations.
