Injury Assessment Sample Clauses

Injury Assessment. The Trustees’ quantified the nature, degree, and extent of injuries to natural resources and services resulting from the Mosquito Bay incident. They assessed injury after the discharge of natural gas condensate and the subsequent controlled burn. They continued with their injury assessment during the Preassessment Phase of the NRDA process. The Trustees used a Habitat Equivalency Analysis (HEA) model to quantify injuries to natural resource injuries and services.

Injury Assessment. The goal of injury assessment under OPA and XXXXX is to determine the nature, degree and extent of injuries, if any, to natural resources and services. This information is necessary to provide a technical basis for evaluating the need for, type of, and scale of restoration actions. OPA defines injury as an observable or measurable adverse change in or impairment of a trust resource or service. Injury may occur directly or indirectly to a natural resource and/or service (15 CFR. §990.30 and LAC 43:XXIX.109). Injury assessment may be accomplished by using field observations, field studies, lab studies, literature reviews, physical/ecological models, or any combination of these methods. There are two stages to injury assessment: injury determination and injury quantification. Injury determination begins with the identification and selection of potential injuries to investigate. OPA and OSPRA regulations direct the trustees to consider several factors when making the injury determination, including, but not limited to: ♦ The natural resources and services of concern; ♦ The evidence indicating exposure, pathway and injury; ♦ The mechanism by which injury occurred; ♦ The type, degree, spatial and temporal extent of injury; ♦ The adverse change or impairment that constitutes injury; ♦ Available assessment procedures and their time and cost requirements; ♦ The potential natural recovery period; and ♦ The kinds of restoration actions that are feasible. The trustees consider several factors required by OPA and OSPRA regulations before they select injury assessment procedures, including: ♦ The range of procedures available under the OPA regulations (15 CFR §990.27(b)) and OSPRA regulations (LAC 43:XXIX.121); ♦ The time and cost necessary to implement the procedures; ♦ The potential nature, degree and spatial and temporal extent of the injury; ♦ The potential restoration actions for the injury; and ♦ The relevance and adequacy of information generated by the procedures to meet information requirements of restoration planning. Natural resource trustees quantify injured resources based on the extent, severity, and duration of the injury. These parameters are then translated into restoration needs. Two methods available to quantify interim losses include the Habitat Equivalency Analysis (HEA) and Resource Equivalency Analysis (REA). In cases where the RP is involved in the injury assessment process, the trustees and the RP, where appropriate, may reach agreement on reaso...
