The Natural Resource Damage Assessment Trustees (Trustees) for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill are hosting a public scoping meeting on a proposed Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS). The Trustees invite the public to attend and comment on the scope, content and any other significant issues the Trustees should consider in the PEIS. The purpose of the PEIS is to evaluate the potential environmental effects of general types of early restoration actions, as well as specific projects including those that the Trustees intend to propose in the Phase III Draft Early Restoration Plan as announced in the Federal Register on May 6, 2013. The PEIS also will evaluate the cumulative effects of early restoration.
