area at the time of the discharge
(including but not limited to resident
and anadromous fish, shellfish, riparian
and upland vegetation, invertebrates,
birds marine mammals and other
wildlife, stream sediments and soils,
water, and public and/or cultural uses),
natural resources and natural resource
services under Federal and State
trusteeship have been or may have been
injured as a result of the Incident.
Determination to Conduct Restoration
Planning
Under 15 CFR 990.42, the Federal and
State natural resource trustees have
determined to conduct restoration
planning under OPA and its
implementing regulations, finding:
a. Based on data collected and
analyzed under 15 CFR 990.43, injuries
to natural resources and services have
resulted or are likely to result from the
Incident, including, but not necessarily
limited to, injuries to waterfowl,
seabirds, intertidal biota, marine
mammals, terrestrial vegetation,
subtidal resources, fish and shellfish
and associated cultural uses.
b. Response actions have not
adequately addressed the injuries
resulting from the Incident. Response
efforts included, but were not limited to,
attempting to boom sensitive fish
streams; removing oil from the wreck;
removing dead bird and sea otter
carcasses; capturing, cleaning and
rehabilitating live oiled birds;
temporarily closing fisheries; sampling
marine waters that might affect ongoing
fisheries; recovering stranded oil on
shorelines; performing manual and
mechanical cleanup operations; and
testing fish and invertebrates used for
commercial and subsistence purposes.
While these actions may have reduced
the number and magnitude of future
injuries, they did not adequately
address the mortality and possible
sublethal effects to natural resources
and services injured from the Incident.
Further, cleanup activities likely caused
additional injuries to certain natural
resources, including, but not necessarily
limited to, terrestrial vegetation and
intertidal biota.
c. Feasible primary and/or
compensatory restoration actions exist
to address injuries from the Incident.
Feasible restoration actions relevant to
the injuries may include, but are not
limited to:
(1) Waste oil recovery at Dutch
Harbor/Unalaska to restore sea ducks,
marine mammals, intertidal and
subtidal biota, fish and shellfish and
human uses of those resources;
(2) Removal of introduced terrestrial
invasive species, such as rats or fox, that

Jkt 211001
prey on or compete with marine birds
on certain islands of the Alaska
Maritime National Wildlife Refuge to
restore marine birds and their habitat;
(3) Debris removal on Unalaska Island
or elsewhere in the Aleutians to restore
habitat for intertidal biota and marine
mammals;
(4) Habitat protection in the nesting
areas of waterfowl injured by the spill;
(5) Salmon restoration in Unalaska
(sockeye) or Summers Bay (coho) lakes;
and
(6) Education and outreach on
Unalaska Island related to subsistence
and cultural resources.
Data supporting these determinations
are contained in the Administrative
Record established for this case (see
below).
Based upon the foregoing
determinations, the Trustees have
determined to conduct restoration
planning for the Incident.
Opportunity To Comment
Under 15 CFR 990.14(d), the Trustees
will seek public involvement in
restoration planning for this Incident
through, at minimum, public review of
and comment on the Draft Restoration
Plan. When the Draft Restoration Plan is
prepared, the public will be notified of
the opportunity to comment. Questions
regarding this Notice may be directed to:
Jenifer Kohout, (907) 786–3687 (phone);
Jenifer_Kohout@fws.gov (e-mail).
Administrative Record
The Trustees have opened an
Administrative Record (Record) in
compliance with 15 CFR 990.45. The
Record will include documents relied
upon by the Trustees during the natural
resource damage assessment performed
in connection with this Incident. The
Record is on file at the FWS Alaska
Regional Office (see ADDRESSES). To
review the Record, contact Jenifer
Kohout (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT). In addition, the index and
other key elements of the Record will be
