FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: During the period of March 1996 through December 2000, natural resource damage settlements were achieved for the Site. NOAA and the State of New York were settling Trustees with the Department of the Interior. A variety of hazardous chemicals were discharged from the Site into Glen Cove Creek located in the Town of Oyster Bay, Nassau County New York. Chemical releases and remedial activities at the Site adversely affected natural resources such as anadromous, catadromous, euryhaline and marine finfish, shellfish and invertebrates, waterfowl, other migratory birds, and reptiles. The funds available from the settlement for restoration activities total approximately $155,000. The Draft RP is being released in accordance with the CERCLA of 1980 as amended, commonly known as Superfund (42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq.), the Natural Resource Damage Assessment Regulations found at 43 CFR, part 11, and the National Environmental Policy Act. It is intended to describe the Trustees’ proposal to restore natural resources injured at the Site and evaluate the potential impacts of the project. The Draft RP describes a number of habitat restoration and protection alternatives and discusses the environmental consequences of each. The restoration effort with the greatest potential to restore natural resources and services that were injured by contaminants or remedial activities is preferred. Based on an evaluation of the various restoration alternatives, the preferred alternative consists of a single restoration project involving tidal marsh/wetland restoration and protection. Interested members of the public are invited to review and comment on the Draft RP.
