AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (Service), on behalf of the
Department of the Interior (DOI), as the
sole natural resource trustee, announces
the release of the Final Restoration Plan
(RP) for the Cortese Landfill Superfund
Site (Site). As a result of remedial
activities and off-Site migration of Siterelated contaminants, 1.6 acres of
wetlands were destroyed and/or
degraded. Adversely affected natural
resources include waterfowl, wading
birds, hawks, woodpeckers, swallows,
migratory songbirds, invertebrates,
reptiles, and amphibians. In addition,
the section of the Upper Delaware River
watershed near the Site hosts the largest
population of wintering bald eagles in
the Northeast. An embayment of the
Delaware River adjacent to the Site
provides feeding and/or spawning
habitat for forage fish, American shad,
striped bass, and American eel. the
funds available from this settlement for
restoration activities total approximately
$85,000. The restoration project selected
for implementation in the Final RP
involves wet meadow/wetland
restoration and protection.
The Final RP presents the preferred
alternative consisting of a restoration
project that compensates for injuries to
natural resources caused by
contaminant releases and remedial
activities associated with the Site.

hazardous substances at or from the
Site.

restoration alternatives, the preferred
alternative consists of a restoration
project involving wet meadow/wetland
restoration and protection.
