Availability of and Request for 

Comments on the Draft Natural 

Resource Damage Assessment Plan 

(Draft NRDA Plan) 

AGENCY: National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) 

and the U.S. Department of the Interior 

(U.S. DOI), collectively acting as Federal 

natural resource trustees (Federal 

Trustees), have concluded their 

preliminary investigation of potential 

injuries to natural resources under their 

trusteeship that may have occurred due 

to releases of hazardous substances at 

the Diamond Alkali Superfund Site 

(Site). Following 43 CFR part 11, the 

Federal Trustees have prepared a Draft 

NRDA Plan outlining possible activities 

at this Site. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Through this notice, the public is asked 

to provide comments on the Draft NRDA 

Plan within thirty (30) calendar days 

from the publication date of this notice. 

Comments can be sent to: U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service, New Jersey Field

melissa_foster@fws.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NOAA, 

acting as the lead administrative trustee 

on behalf of itself and the U.S. DOI, 

have concluded their preliminary 

investigation of potential injuries to 

natural resources under their 

trusteeship that may have occurred as 

the result of releases of hazardous 

substances at this Site. Under 43 CFR 

11, the Federal Trustees have completed 

a Preassessment Screen. The agencies 

serve as Federal Trustees under 

authority of Subpart G of the National 

Contingency Plan, 40 CFR Sections 

300.600(b)(1–3), and 300.605. 

The Federal Trustees decided to 

pursue an NRDA for this Site, and have 

issued letters to companies identified as 

potentially responsible parties (PRPs) in 

connection with the release of 

hazardous substances and subsequent 

damages resulting from potential natural 

resource injuries (see Federal Register 

notice, Vol. 72, No. 152, p. 44498, 

August 9, 2007). The notice letters asked 

PRPs to participate in the development, 

performance, and funding of an NRDA. 

This Draft NRDA Plan was prepared 

by the Federal Trustees, and is the next 

step in the NRDA process. It documents 

exposure of natural resources to 

hazardous substances and identifies 

anticipated procedures for evaluating 

natural resource injuries potentially 

caused by such exposure.

documents may be found at: http://
