Restoration planning to address injuries to recreational uses, shoreline habitats, and aquatic resources is underway. In 2008, the Trustees will begin preparing Draft Restoration Plans to address spill impacts to recreational uses, shoreline habitats, aquatic resources, and piping plovers, upon the completion of the injury report for each category.

The Draft Restoration Plan for each injury category will describe the potential resource injuries and service losses resulting from the spill, identify restoration alternatives the Trustees considered , discuss the Trustees’ evaluation of the restoration alternatives, and present the Trustees’ preferred restoration projects. The public will have an opportunity to review and comment on the Draft Restoration Plans. After considering the comments from the public, the Trustees will then select the appropriate restoration projects and finalize the Restoration Plans. The preferred projects will be funded by the RP and implemented by the Trustees or implemented by the RP, under the direction of the Trustees.
