natural resources injured by the DBL
152 oil spill with funding from the
responsible party (RP) or, where an RP
does not exist or exceeds its limit of
liability, the Oil Spill Liability Trust
Fund (OSLTF) administered by the U.S.
Coast Guard (USCG). The measure of
damages to natural resources is the cost
of restoring, rehabilitating, replacing or
acquiring the equivalent of the injured
natural resources, compensation for the
diminution in value of those natural
resources pending restoration, and the
reasonable costs of assessing such
damages. 33 U.S.C. 2702(b)(2)(A),
2706(d)(1). All recoveries for the first
two elements are to be spent
implementing a restoration plan
developed by the trustees. 33 U.S.C.
2706(f).
Natural Resource Damage Assessment
and Restoration Planning
NOAA, acting as Trustee on the
public’s behalf, has conducted a natural
resource damage assessment (NRDA) to
determine the nature and extent of
natural resource losses resulting from
this incident and the restoration actions
needed to restore these losses. The
NRDA was conducted using the OPA
NRDA regulations found at 15 CFR part
990. On the basis of data provided by
the NRDA, NOAA prepared this Final
Damage Assessment and Restoration
Plan/Environmental Assessment (Final
DARP/EA) to consider restoration
alternatives and identify a selected
alternative.
An injury assessment conducted by
NOAA determined that the primary
injury resulting from this incident was
to offshore benthic habitat. This
conclusion is described in greater detail
in the Final DARP/EA.
NOAA considered various restoration
alternatives to compensate the public
for spill-related injuries and to restore
comparable natural resource services to
those that were provided by the
resources injured by the spill. The
selected restoration alternative
identified by NOAA is an estuarine
shoreline protection and salt marsh
restoration project at the Texas Chenier
Plain National Wildlife Refuge
Complex. The project area is located in
Galveston Bay, Texas. The project is
designed to protect shoreline with a
protective structure consisting of rip-rap
habitat. The project will be designed so
that salt marsh habitat will be created
behind the breakwater. Prior to
implementation, the project will
undergo pre-project engineering to
design the shoreline protection structure
and the marsh.
The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) has
determined that the RP has exceeded its
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 238001
limit of liability under OPA. Therefore,
the Final DARP/EA will be submitted to
the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund
(OSLTF) as part of a claim for funds to
implement the selected restoration
project. The OSLTF is administered by
the USCG and is maintained through
fees paid by industry.
Public Comments and NOAA’s
Response
NOAA prepared the Final DARP/EA
after consideration of the public’s
response to the Draft DARP/EA. One of
the comments received was supportive
of the restoration project alternatives.
Other comments received asked for
clarity on various points in the Draft
DARP/EA and the NRDA process,
questioned various aspects of the NRDA
for this site, questioned the
appropriateness of the selected project
to the specific injury, or requested
additional evaluation or monitoring by
NOAA. The full text of the public
comments received is provided in
Appendix C to the Final DARP/EA, and
NOAA’s full response to the comments
received, along with a discussion of
changes made to the DARP/EA in
response to the comments, is provided
in Appendix B to the Final DARP/EA.
A brief summary of the changes made
to the DARP/EA in response to the
comments is as follows:
• A paragraph on overlapping
impacts of the DBL 152 oil spill and the
2010 Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill was
revised in Section 4 of the Final DARP/
EA.
• A discussion was added to Section
6 of the Final DARP/EA regarding a
candidate project proposed by the
Louisiana Oil Spill Coordinator’s Office
(LOSCO) on behalf of the Louisiana Oil
Spill Natural Resource Trustees.
• Clarifying language was added to
Section 3 of the Final DARP/EA
regarding potential injuries to water
column species.
Administrative Record
Pursuant to the OPA NRDA
regulations, NOAA has developed an
Administrative Record to support its
restoration planning decisions and
inform the public of the basis of their
decisions. Information and documents,
including public comments received on
the Draft DARP/EA, the Final DARP/EA,
and other related restoration planning
documents, are also part of the
Administrative Record. The documents
