In accordance with the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, the National Environmental Policy Act, and the Framework Agreement for Early Restoration Addressing Injuries Resulting from the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill, Federal and State trustee agencies have prepared a Draft Phase I Early Restoration Plan and Environmental Assessment (DERP/EA) describing and proposing a suite of early restoration projects intended to commence the process of restoring natural resources and services injured or lost as a result of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, which occurred on or about April 20, 2010 in the Gulf of Mexico. The Florida and Federal Trustees will host a public meeting to discuss and take public comments on the DERP/EA. A copy of the DERP/EA may be accessed via http://www.dep.state.fl.us/ deepwaterhorizon/.
