Supplemental Restoration Plan and
Environmental Assessment for the
Cypremort Point State Park

and Finding of No Significant Impact
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of availability.
AGENCY:
In accordance with the Oil
Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA) and the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA), the Federal and State natural
resource trustee agencies for the
Louisiana Trustee Implementation
Group (Louisiana TIG) have prepared
the Final Supplemental Restoration Plan
and Environmental Assessment for the
Cypremort Point State Park
Improvements Project Modification
(Final Supplemental RP/EA). The Final
Supplemental RP/EA describes and, in
conjunction with the associated Finding
of No Significant Impact (FONSI),
selects the modified Cypremort Point
State Park Improvements (Cypremort
Improvements) project considered by
the Louisiana TIG to compensate for
recreational use services lost as a result
of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.

The
Louisiana TIG evaluated project
alternatives under criteria set forth in
the OPA natural resource damage
assessment (NRDA) regulations and
evaluated the environmental
consequences of the alternatives in
accordance with the NEPA. The selected
project is consistent with the restoration
alternatives selected in the Deepwater
Horizon oil spill Final Programmatic
Damage Assessment and Restoration
Plan/Programmatic Environmental
Impact Statement (PDARP/PEIS). The
Federal Trustees of the Louisiana TIG
have determined that the
implementation of the Final
Supplemental RP/EA is not a major
federal action significantly affecting the
quality of the human environment
within the context of the NEPA. They
have concluded a FONSI is appropriate,
and, therefore, an Environmental Impact
Statement will not be prepared. This
notice informs the public of the
approval and availability of the Final
Supplemental RP/EA and FONSI.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Introduction
On April 20, 2010, the mobile
offshore drilling unit Deepwater
Horizon, which was being used to drill
a well for BP Exploration and
Production, Inc. (BP), in the Macondo
prospect (Mississippi Canyon 252–
MC252), experienced a significant
explosion, fire, and subsequent sinking
in the Gulf of Mexico, resulting in the
release of an unprecedented volume of
oil and other discharges from the rig and
from the wellhead on the seabed. The
Deepwater Horizon oil spill is the
largest offshore oil spill in U.S. history,
discharging millions of barrels of oil
over a period of 87 days. The Trustees
conducted the natural resource damage
assessment for the Deepwater Horizon
oil spill under the Oil Pollution Act of
1990 (33 U.S.C. 2701 et seq.). Under the
OPA, Federal and State agencies act as
trustees on behalf of the public to assess
natural resource injuries and losses and
to determine the actions required to
compensate the public for those injuries
and losses. The OPA further instructs
the designated trustees to develop and
implement a plan for the restoration,
rehabilitation, replacement, or
acquisition of the equivalent of the
injured natural resources under their
trusteeship, including the loss of use
and services from those resources from
the time of injury until the time of
restoration to baseline (the resource

quality and conditions that would exist
if the spill had not occurred) is
complete.

Trustees are:
• U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA);
• U.S. Department of the Interior
(DOI), as represented by the National
Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, and Bureau of Land
Management;
• National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA), on behalf of
the U.S. Department of Commerce;
• U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA);
• State of Louisiana Coastal
Protection and Restoration Authority
(CPRA), Oil Spill Coordinator’s Office
(LOSCO), Department of Environmental
Quality (LDEQ), Department of Wildlife

of Natural Resources (LDNR);
• State of Mississippi Department of
Environmental Quality;
• State of Alabama Department of
Conservation and Natural Resources and
Geological Survey of Alabama;
• State of Florida Department of
Environmental Protection and Fish and
Wildlife Conservation Commission; and
• State of Texas Parks and Wildlife
Department, General Land Office, and
Commission on Environmental Quality.
On April 4, 2016, the Trustees
reached and finalized a settlement of
their natural resource damage claims
with BP in a Consent Decree approved
by the United States District Court for
the Eastern District of Louisiana.
Pursuant to that Consent Decree,
restoration projects in the Louisiana
Restoration Area are chosen and
managed by the Louisiana TIG. The
Louisiana TIG is composed of the
following Trustees: CPRA, LOSCO,
LDEQ, LDWF, LDNR, EPA, DOI, NOAA,
and USDA.
Background
The original scope of the Cypremort
Improvements project was evaluated in
the Louisiana TIG Final Restoration
Plan and Environmental Assessment #4:
Nutrient Reduction (Nonpoint Source)
and Recreational Use (RP/EA #4), which
was published in the Federal Register at
83 FR 34571 on July 20, 2018. As
proposed in the RP/EA #4, the project
would entail a variety of park
enhancements including beach
restoration, marsh boardwalk and trail
construction, road and jetty repairs, and
replacement of the breakwater system
that helps protect the park’s recreational
beach. Following completion of the RP/
EA #4, the Louisiana Office of State
Parks was successful in securing other

non-NRDA funding to construct the
breakwater system that was originally
proposed as a component of the
Cypremort Improvements project. The
Louisiana TIG prepared a Draft
Supplemental Restoration Plan and
Environmental Assessment for the
Cypremort Point State Park
Improvements Project Modification
(Draft Supplemental RP/EA) to inform
the public about potential modifications
to the Cypremort Improvements project
and to seek public comment. A Notice
of Availability of the Draft
Supplemental RP/EA was published in
the Federal Register at 85 FR 21852 on
April 20, 2020. The Louisiana TIG
hosted a public webinar on April 28,
2020, and the public comment period
for the Draft Supplemental RP/EA
closed on May 20, 2020. The Louisiana
TIG considered the public comments
received on the Draft Supplemental RP/
EA, which informed the Louisiana TIG’s
analyses and selection of the modified
Cypremort Improvements project in the
Final Supplemental RP/EA. A summary
of the public comments received and
the Trustees’ responses to those
comments are included in Section 6 of
the Final Supplemental RP/EA.
Overview of the Final Supplemental
RP/EA
The Final Supplemental RP/EA
evaluates modifications to the
Cypremort Improvements project and
considers three action alternatives,
consistent with the purpose and need of
the original project. Alternative A
includes the components of the original
Cypremort Improvements project that
were approved for funding but are not
currently completed: Improvements to
an existing rock jetty, beach
reclamation, construction of a marsh
boardwalk and trail, and road and
parking lot repairs. Alternative B
includes the same components as in
Alternative A as well as additional
improvements at Cypremort Point State
Park: A recreational vehicle
campground with approximately 30
new paved pull-through campsites with
sewer, water, and electrical tie-ins, two
mobile bathhouses with sewer, water,
and electrical tie-ins, and a boat dock/
fishing pier. Alternative C includes the
same components as Alternative B but
eliminates the mobile bathhouses. In the
Final Supplemental RP/EA, the
Louisiana TIG selects project
Alternative B: Expanded Restoration
and Recreation Improvements with
Mobile Bathhouses. The estimated total
cost of the selected project, as modified,
is $4.48 million. In the Final
Supplemental RP/EA, the Louisiana TIG
presents to the public its plan to

continue the process of restoring
recreational use services lost in the
Louisiana Restoration Area as a result of
the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
Additional restoration planning for the
Louisiana Restoration Area will
continue.

Alternative A as well as additional improvements at Cypremort Point
State Park: A recreational vehicle campground with approximately 30 new
paved pull-through campsites with sewer, water, and electrical tie-ins,
two mobile bathhouses with sewer, water, and electrical tie-ins, and a
boat dock/fishing pier. Alternative C includes the same components as
Alternative B but eliminates the mobile bathhouses. In the Final
Supplemental RP/EA, the Louisiana TIG selects project Alternative B:
Expanded Restoration and Recreation Improvements with Mobile
Bathhouses. The estimated total cost of the selected project, as
modified, is $4.48 million. In the Final Supplemental RP/EA, the
Louisiana TIG presents to the public its plan to continue the process
of restoring recreational use services lost in the Louisiana
Restoration Area as a result of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
