Substances Pollution Contingency Plan 

(40 CFR 300.600 and 300.610) and 

Executive Order 12580. The 

Memorandum of Understanding 

Between the Missouri Department of 

Natural Resources and U.S. Department 

of the Interior establishes a Trustee 

Council charged with developing and 

implementing a restoration plan for 

ecological restoration in the Springfield 

Plateau of southwest Missouri. 

The Trustees followed the NRDAR 

regulations found at 43 CFR part 11 for 

the development of the Plan. The draft 

Springfield Plateau Regional Restoration 

Plan and Environmental Assessment 

will be finalized prior to 

implementation, after all public 

comments received during the public 

comment period are considered. Any 

significant additions or modifications to 

the Plan as restoration actions proceed 

will be made available for public review 

before any additions or modification are 

undertaken. 

The objective of the NRDAR process 

in the Springfield Plateau is to 

compensate the public, through 

environmental restoration, for losses to 

natural resources that have been injured 

by releases of hazardous substances into 

the environment. The Comprehensive 

Environmental Response, 

Compensation, and Liability Act 

(CERCLA, more commonly known as 

the Federal ‘‘Superfund’’ law; 42 U.S.C. 

9601, et seq.), and the Federal Water 

Pollution Control Act (commonly 

known as the Clean Water Act (CWA); 

33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) authorize States, 

federally recognized tribes, and certain 

Federal agencies that have authority for 

natural resources ‘‘belonging to, 

managed by, controlled by or 

appertaining to the United States’’ to act 

as ‘‘trustees’’ on behalf of the public, to 

restore, rehabilitate, replace, and/or 

acquire natural resources equivalent to 

those injured by releases of hazardous 

substances. 

The Trustees worked together, in a 

cooperative process, to identify 

appropriate restoration activities to 

address natural resource injuries caused 

by releases of hazardous substances into 

the Springfield Plateau environment. 

The results of this administrative 

process are contained in the planning 

and decision document being published 

for public review under CERCLA. 

Natural resource damages received, 

either through negotiated settlements or 

adjudicated awards, must be used to 

restore, rehabilitate, replace, and/or 

acquire the equivalent of those injured 

natural resources. The Plan addresses 

the Trustees’ overall approach to 

restore, rehabilitate, replace, and/or 

acquire the equivalent of natural 

resources injured by the release of 

hazardous substances into the 

Springfield Plateau environment.
