Below, you will find all available information about this phase of Early Restoration, including fact sheets on each project.
The final Phase III plan proposes $627 million for 44 new early restoration projects across the Gulf states. It also includes a programmatic environmental impact statement (EIS) and programmatic restoration plan for early restoration.
Our final decisions on both the programmatic early restoration plan alternative and each of the 44 projects are documented in a final Record of Decision.
