These activities are being carried out pursuant to the Restoration Plan and Environmental Assessment for the Love Canal, 102nd Street and Forest Glen Mobile Home Subdivision Superfund Sites (Restoration Plan). This Restoration Plan was prepared by the natural resource trustees: the U.S. Department of Interior, as represented by the Service, New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. In developing the Restoration Plan, the Service, representing all trustees, solicited potential restoration projects through a variety of mechanisms (e.g., letters and emails of inquiry to local, state and federal agencies, universities and non-government organizations, website notice). A Draft Restoration Plan was published in the Federal Register on December 29, 2004, presented on the Service website, sent to interested individuals/agencies and noticed in local Buffalo, New York newspapers. Based on comments received, the final Restoration Plan incorporating a range of preferred restoration projects, was prepared. The Final Restoration Plan and Finding of No Significant Impact were issued on July 18, 2005. This Cooperative Agreement will enable the City of Niagara falls to prepare a Cayuga Creek Restoration Plan that will develop restoration projects for implementation in accordance with the Restoration Plan and Environmental Assessment for the Love Canal, 102nd Street and Forest Glen Mobile Home Subdivision Superfund Sites.
This Single Source Award is being made in accordance with Department of the Interior Policy 505 DM 2.14 B(4), which allows for award without competition to an applicant who is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based on location, voluntary support capacity, and technical expertise.
