2013-13249 Notice of Intent to Prepare a Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement for a Phase III Early Restoration Plan and Early Restoration Project Types, and to Conduct Scoping Meetings
The Deepwater Horizon Natural Resource Damage Assessment Trustees (Trustees) are pleased to announce their intent to prepare a PEIS under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) to evaluate the environmental consequences of early restoration project types, as well as the early restoration projects that the Trustees intend to propose in an upcoming Phase III Draft Early Restoration Plan (DERP). The Trustees intend to evaluate early restoration project types programmatically in the PEIS in order to allow the Trustees to better analyze cumulative effects of early restoration, and to tier NEPA analyses for future early restoration plans to the PEIS, where appropriate.
Development of the PEIS is beginning with a public scoping period. Your input and engagement are important to this planning process.
The Trustees published their intent to draft an Early Restoration PEIS in the Federal Register on June 4, 2013.
Interested individuals, organizations, and agencies are encouraged to provide comments regarding the scope, content, and any significant issues the Trustees should consider in the PEIS. The Trustees will accept comments from the public for 60 days from the date that the Notice of Intent is published in the Federal Register. To submit a comment click the "Comment on Document" button to enter and submit your comments. If you desire to submit comments that include a document, you can send your comment and the associated document to earlyrestorationcomments@fws.gov. You can also send written comments to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, P.O. Box 2099, Fairhope, AL 36533.
The Trustees will accept additional public comment at scoping meetings held according to the schedule listed at http://www.gulfspillrestoration.noaa.gov/restoration/early-restoration/
