Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:405918
The Preassessment Phase Guidance Document provides guidance to determine if trusteed have the jurisdiction to pursue restoration under OPA, and, if so, whether it is appropriate to do so, as required under the Preassessment Phase of the OPA regulations. The information gained through preassessment activities should serve as the foundation for a more detailed assessment of injuries to natural resources and services. Although prepared primarily to provide guidance to natural resource trustees using the OPA regulations, others interested in the protection and restoration of injured natural resources and services may find the information contained in this document useful.
