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 

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.
