Description
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration (NRDAR) Program aims to restore natural resources and their services that have been injured by an oil discharge or hazardous substance release. The project in question is the Jennings Branch Stream Restoration Project, which will be completed by the County of Augusta. The project's goals include improving water quality and habitat on Jennings Branch. The key aspects of this project are:
• The County of Augusta is uniquely qualified to complete the project due to property ownership, technical expertise, and previously established partnerships.
• The project has been widely supported by natural resource agencies and the local community.
• The project aligns with the Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration goals and the Secretary of the Interior's priorities.
