Summary

NOAA, as the Lead Federal Trustee, prepared the Final PEIS/RP. The Restoration Plan identifies criteria and guidance to be used in selecting feasible restoration projects, and provides a framework to maximize the benefits of restoration projects to the affected resources and services in the defined areas of the Lower Willamette River. These restoration projects will compensate the public for related injuries to natural resources incurred over years of industrial activity, including the releases of hazardous substances and oil to the Portland Harbor Superfund Study Area.
