AGENCIES: National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

Commerce; United States Department of

the Interior (DOI); Texas Parks and

Wildlife Department (TPWD); Texas

General Land Office (TGLO); and Texas

Natural Resources and Conservation

Commission (TNRCC).

ACTION: Notice of availability of a

Revised Draft Damage Assessment and

Restoration Plan and Environmental

Assessment for recreational fishing

service losses associated with the Alcoa

Point Comfort/Lavaca Bay National

Priorities List (NPL) Site, and of a 30-

day period for public comment on the

plan beginning May 12, 2000.

SUMMARY: Pursuant to 43 CFR Sections

11.32 and 11.81—.82, notice is hereby

given that a document entitled,

‘‘Revised Draft Damage Assessment and

Restoration Plan and Environmental

Assessment for the Point Comfort/

Lavaca Bay NPL Site Recreational

Fishing Service Losses’’ (Revised Draft

DARP/EA) is available for public review

and comment. This document describes

revisions to the Draft Damage

Assessment and Restoration Plan and

Environmental Assessment (Draft

DARP/EA), which was released for

public review and comment on

September 28, 1999. The Draft DARP/

EA described the assessment of

recreational fishing service losses

attributable to hazardous substances

released from the Alcoa Point Comfort/

Lavaca Bay NPL Site (‘Lavaca Bay Site’

or ‘Site’) and the restoration actions

preferred to compensate for those losses.

As a result of the public comments

received on the Draft DARP/EA, the

restoration alternatives identified to

compensate for such losses have been

revised. The Revised Draft DARP/EA

summarizes these public comments and

identifies changes to the restoration

plan that were determined to be

necessary in light of the comments and

other information received. The Revised

Draft DARP/EA is being released to

allow public comment on the revised

restoration alternatives now proposed

for inclusion in the Final DARP/EA for

the recreational fishing service losses.

DATES: Comments on the Revised Draft

DARP/EA must be submitted in writing

on or before June 12, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Requests for copies of the

Revised Draft DARP/EA should be sent

plan should be sent either to Richard

Seiler of TNRCC or Tony Penn of NOAA

at the addresses listed above.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Alcoa

Point Comfort/Lavaca Bay NPL Site is

located in Point Comfort, Calhoun

County, Texas and encompasses

releases of hazardous substances from

Alcoa’s Point Comfort Operations

facility. Between 1948 and the present,

Alcoa constructed and operated several

types of manufacturing processes at this

facility, including aluminum smelting,

carbon paste and briquette

manufacturing, gas processing, chloralkali processing, and alumina refining.

Past operations at the facility resulted in

the release of hazardous substances into

the environment, including the

discharge of mercury-containing

wastewater into Lavaca Bay from 1966

to 1970 and releases of mercury into the

bay through groundwater. In April 1988,

the Texas Department of Health (TDH)

issued a ‘‘closure order’’ prohibiting the

taking of finfish and crabs for

consumption from a specific area near

the facility due to elevated mercury

concentrations in these resources.

The Alcoa Point Comfort/Lavaca Bay

Site was added to the NPL, pursuant to

Section 105 of the Comprehensive

Environmental Response, Compensation

and Liability Act (CERCLA), 42 U.S.C.

9601, effective on March 25, 1994 (59

FR 8724; February 23, 1994). The Site

was listed primarily due to the presence

of mercury in several species of fish and

crab in Lavaca Bay, the fishing closure

imposed by TDH, and the presence of

mercury and other hazardous

substances in bay sediments adjacent to

the facility. Alcoa, the State of Texas

and the U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA) signed an Administrative

Order on Consent (AOC) under CERCLA

in March 1994 providing for the

conduct of a remedial investigation and

feasibility study (RI/FS) for the Site.

NOAA, DOI, TPWD, TGLO and

TNRCC (collectively, the Trustees) are

designated natural resource trustees

under Section 107(f) of CERCLA,

Section 311 of the Federal Water

Pollution and Control Act (FWPCA), 33

U.S.C. Section 1321, and other

applicable federal or state laws,

including Subpart G of the National Oil
