On April 4, 2016, the Trustees 

reached and finalized a settlement of 

their natural resource damage claims 

with BP in a Consent Decree approved 

by the United States District Court for 

the Eastern District of Louisiana. 

Pursuant to that Consent Decree, 

restoration projects in the Louisiana 

Restoration Area are now chosen and 

managed by the Louisiana TIG. The 

Louisiana TIG is composed of the 

following Trustees: CPRA, LOSCO, 

LDEQ, LDWF, LDNR, EPA, DOI, NOAA,

Background 

A Notice of Availability of the 

Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Louisiana 

Trustee Implementation Group Draft 

Restoration Plan and Environmental 

Assessment #4: Nutrient Reduction 

(Nonpoint Source) and Recreational 

Opportunities (Draft RP/EA #4) was 

published in the Federal Register on 

April 20, 2018. The Louisiana TIG 

hosted a public meeting on April 24, 

2018, in New Orleans, and the public 

comment period for the Draft RP/EA #4 

closed on May 21, 2018. The Draft RP/ 

EA #4 proposed twenty-three restoration 

projects, evaluated in accordance with 

OPA and NEPA. The Louisiana TIG 

considered the public comments 

received on the Draft RP/EA #4 which 

informed the Louisiana TIG’s analyses 

and selection of the restoration projects 

in the Final RP/EA #4. A summary of 

the public comments received and the 

Trustees’ responses to those comments 

are included in Chapter 7 of the Final 

RP/EA #4. 

Overview of the Final RP/EA #4 

The Final RP/EA #4 is being released 

in accordance with OPA NRDA 

regulations found in the Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) at 15 CFR 990, and 

NEPA (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.). In the 

Final RP/EA #4, the Louisiana TIG 

selects the following preferred project 

alternatives: 

Nutrient Reduction (Nonpoint 

Source): 

• Nutrient Reduction on Dairy Farms 

in St. Helena and Tangipahoa Parishes 

• Nutrient Reduction on Dairy Farms 

in Washington Parish 

• Nutrient Reduction on Cropland 

and Grazing Lands in Bayou Folse 

• Winter Water Holding on Cropland 

in Vermilion and Cameron Parishes Plus

The Louisiana TIG has examined the 

injuries assessed by the Deepwater 

Horizon Trustees and evaluated 

restoration alternatives to address the 

injuries. In the Final RP/EA #4, the 

Louisiana TIG presents to the public its 

plan for providing partial compensation 

for lost recreational use services and 

reducing nutrients from nonpoint 

sources in the Louisiana Restoration 

Area. The selected projects are intended 

to continue the process of using 

restoration funding to reduce nutrients 

(nonpoint source) and restore 

recreational use services lost as a result 

of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The 

total estimated cost of the selected 

projects is $47.5 million. Additional 

restoration planning for the Louisiana 

Restoration Area will continue.
