The fourth document pertains to the use of Habitat Evaluation Procedures and Suitability Index Models for use in quantifying habitat changes resulting from a discharge or release. The last document of the set describes techniques to measure damages, provides a discussion of economic methodologies that may be applied in the determination of monetary damages, and discusses the acceptance criterion for selection of economic methodologies. The information in these documents supplements the guidance provided in 43 CFR Part 11, but is not required to be followed to obtain the rebuttable presumption provided by those regulations.
