Round 2 Habitat Restoration
Update (09/21/09) –
Proposals have now been
reviewed independently by state and federal reviewers and
consensus-based review has been performed by the review
teams. The MA SubCouncil is currently in the process of
selecting a list of preferred alternatives to be considered
for funding. After the preferred alternatives are selected,
the selected projects will be included in a Draft
Restoration Plan/Supplemental Environmental Assessment
(RP/SEA). The Draft RP/SEA will be available for review and
public comment. A public meeting will also be held to
present the Draft RP/SEA. It is anticipated that the Draft
RP/SEA will be available in January 2010. An announcement
regarding the results of the initial Threshold Criteria
Evaluation will be posted on this website in the near
future.
