Trustees Release Final Plan to Restore Salt Marsh Habitat at McKinney National Wildlife Refuge |
|
|
Led by NOAA, federal and state Trustees released the Final Restoration Plan for the Lordship Point Gun Club hazardous waste site and Raymark Industries Superfund site, both in Stratford, Connecticut. The plan includes projects to restore salt marsh habitat in the Stewart B. McKinney National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) to address natural resource damages resulting from contaminant releases.
The two contamination releases, although different natural resource damage cases, are in close proximity to one another and resulted in similar injuries, so the Trustees are focusing on restoration at one location in the NWR’s Great Meadows Marsh Unit in Stratford. This combined restoration will leverage funds, to implement a larger, more impactful project, than if restoration activities were kept separate.
