SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Injuries to
natural resources have occurred as a
result of releases of hazardous
substances from industrial facilities
owned by Alcoa, Inc., Reynolds Metals
Co., and General Motors Central
Foundry near Massena, St. Lawrence
County, New York. The RCDP describes
the natural resource injuries and
associated losses and outlines proposed
restoration projects. Hazardous
substances released from these
industries included polychlorinated
biphenyls (PCBs), polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAHs), aluminum,
fluoride, and cyanide. These hazardous
substances have injured natural
resources and the habitats which
support them in the vicinity of the
facilities, including the Mohawk
community of Akwesasne, preventing
the practice of traditional cultural
practices by the Mohawk Community,
and resulting in the issuance of fish
consumption advisories.
Proposed Restoration: The trustees
negotiated a settlement which requires
the responsible parties, Alcoa Inc. and
Reynolds Metals Co. to pay damages to
compensate the public for the injuries to
natural resources and lost human use of
the resources. The 2013 Consent Decree
PO 00000
Frm 00004
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
establishing this settlement has been
lodged in United States District Court
for the Northern District of New York
and will be the subject of a separate
Federal Register notice and public
comment period. Pursuant to the
Consent Decree, the trustees expect to
receive approximately $18.5 million in
cash and projects from Alcoa and
Reynolds for restoration. In addition,
the trustees have received
approximately $1.8 million in
restoration funds from a 2011 General
Motors bankruptcy settlement.
The Trustees considered various
restoration alternatives to compensate
the public for injuries from site releases
and to restore the types of natural
resource services that were provided by
the resources injured by the hazardous
substances. The preferred restoration
alternatives identified are summarized
in the RCDP. In total, $20.3 million from
these two natural resource damage
settlements will be used to complete
preferred projects identified in the
RCDP consisting of ecological
restoration projects, human use projects
that enhance access to fishing and
boating, and projects to support
traditional Mohawk cultural practices,
including an apprenticeship program to
promote Mohawk language and
traditional teachings. A portion of the
funds will also support Mohawk
cultural institutions including youth
outdoor education programs, and
horticultural programs for medicine,
healing, and nutrition. Details are
provided in the RCDP.
