SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: During the period of March 1996 through December 2000, natural resource damage settlements were achieved for the Mattiace Petrochemical Superfund Site. NOAA and the State of New York were settling Trustees with the DOI. 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; invertebrates; waterfowl; other migratory birds; and reptiles. The funds available from the settlement for restoration activities total approximately $155,000. The RP is being released in accordance with the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (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 (NEPA). The Final RP is intended to describe the Trustees’ selected alternative to restore natural resource injuries associated and affected by the Site. The 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 selected alternative consists of a single restoration project involving tidal marsh/wetland restoration and protection.
