Plan 

AGENCY: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Department of the Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service (Service), on behalf of the 

Department of the Interior (DOI), as the 

sole natural resource trustee, announces 

the release of the Final Restoration Plan 

(RP) for the Cortese Landfill Superfund 

Site (Site). As a result of remedial 

activities and off-Site migration of Siterelated contaminants, 1.6 acres of 

wetlands were destroyed and/or 

degraded. Adversely affected natural 

resources include waterfowl, wading 

birds, hawks, woodpeckers, swallows, 

migratory songbirds, invertebrates, 

reptiles, and amphibians. In addition, 

the section of the Upper Delaware River 

watershed near the Site hosts the largest 

population of wintering bald eagles in 

the Northeast. An embayment of the 

Delaware River adjacent to the Site 

provides feeding and/or spawning 

habitat for forage fish, American shad, 

striped bass, and American eel. the 

funds available from this settlement for 

restoration activities total approximately 

$85,000. The restoration project selected 

for implementation in the Final RP 

involves wet meadow/wetland 

restoration and protection. 

The Final RP presents the preferred 

alternative consisting of a restoration 

project that compensates for injuries to 

natural resources caused by 

contaminant releases and remedial 

activities associated with the Site. 

ADDRESSES: Requests for copies of the 

RP may be made to: U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service, New York Field Office,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In May

settlement was achieved for the Cortese 

Landfill Superfund Site. The Service, on 

behalf of the DOI, was the sole settling 

natural resource Trustee. The funds 

available from the settlement for 

restoration activities total approximately 

$85,000. The RP is being released in

Regulations (43 CFR, part 11), and the 

National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA) 45 U.S.C. 4371 et seq., and 42 

CFR part 1500. The Final RP is intended 

to describe the Trustee’s selected 

alternative to restore natural resources 

injured as a result of the discharge of 

hazardous substances at or from the 

Site. 

Based on an evaluation of various 

restoration alternatives, the preferred 

alternative consists of a restoration 

project involving wet meadow/wetland 

restoration and protection.
