Notice of Public Meeting, North Slope Science Initiative, Science Technical Group, 28883 [E6-7592]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 96 / Thursday, May 18, 2006 / Notices The objective of the NRDAR process in the Alamosa River watershed is to compensate the public, through restoration actions, for losses to natural resources and services that have been caused by releases of toxic metals into the watershed. Restoration activities will be funded in part by natural resource damages recovered in settlement from the party responsible for recent contamination emanating from the Summitville mine in the upper watershed. The damages received must be used to restore, rehabilitate, replace and/or acquire the equivalent of those natural resources that have been injured. The Trustees have a Memorandum of Agreement which establishes a Trustee Council to develop and implement a restoration plan for ecological restorations in the Alamosa River watershed. The Trustees followed the NRDAR regulations found at Title 43 Code of Federal Regulations part 11 for development of the Plan. The Trustees have worked together, in a cooperative process with the public, to determine appropriate restoration activities to address natural resource injuries caused by Summitville releases of hazardous substances, as well as other watershed impacts identified during planning. The Plan addresses the Trustees’ overall approach to restore, rehabilitate, replace, or acquire the equivalent of natural resources injured by the release of toxic metals into the Alamosa River watershed environment. The public was invited to review and comment on the draft Plan during a 30-day period, and to attend a meeting near the site during which important elements of the draft Plan were presented. Approximately 29 comments were received, to which responses have been prepared and included, along with the comments, in the final Plan. Some comments prompted minor text changes, but no comments required significant changes to the document, or to the restoration approach that the Trustees and public have selected. wwhite on PROD1PC61 with NOTICES Authority: 42 U.S.C. 4321–4347.
