The Trustees and DuPont settled the natural resource damage claim in 2002. Under the terms of the settlement, DuPont provided $218,226.69 to the Trustees for tidal flat and salt marsh restoration in the Stuart McKinney Wildlife Refuge. As part of the settlement, DuPont also completed a coastal grassland restoration project at the Site in 2003. The U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) will eventually take control of the property via a conservation easement.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), with assistance from the State of Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection, are currently examining potential estuarine and aquatic wetland restoration projects in the wildlife refuge. The Trustees are considering combining these settlement funds with natural resource damage settlement funds from the Raymark Superfund Site in Stratford, Conneticut to expand a restoration project at the Stuart McKinney Wildlife Refuge.
