The Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission will be conducting public meetings during the week of May 15, 2000 to discuss eight-hour ozone national ambient air quality standard designations. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated the new ozone standard in 1997. As a result of litigation, the status of the eight-hour ozone standard is currently unclear; however, EPA believes it is required by law to designate areas in 2000 as meeting or not meeting this federal ozone standard.

EPA guidance indicates that by June 30, 2000 states must submit to EPA the recommendation of attainment/unclassifiable or nonattainment of the eight-hour ozone standard on a county-by-county basis. The executive director's staff has developed preliminary recommendations and is now conducting public meetings to solicit input. To find more information about the specific times and locations of the meetings, staff's recommendations, or further information about the eight-hour standard, please visit the commission's web site at www.tnrcc.state.tx.us/oprd/policy/index.html or call Bill Jordan, Office of Environmental Policy, Analysis, and Assessment, at (512) 239-2583.

AGENCIES: Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC), Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD), Texas General Land Office (TGLO), United States Department of the Interior (DOI), and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) (hereinafter, collectively the Trustees).

ACTION: Notice of availability of a Revised Draft Damage Assessment and Restoration Plan and Environmental Assessment for recreational fishing service losses associated with the Alcoa Point Comfort/Lavaca Bay Federal Superfund Site (Lavaca Bay Site or Site), and of a 30-day period for public comment on the draft plan beginning May 12, 2000.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that a document entitled, "Revised Draft Damage Assessment and Restoration Plan and Environmental Assessment for the Point Comfort/Lavaca Bay NPL Site Recreational Fishing Service Losses" (Revised Draft DARP/EA) is available for public review and comment. This document describes revisions to the Draft Damage Assessment and Restoration Plan and Environmental Assessment (Draft DARP/EA), which was released for public review and comment on October 1, 1999. The Draft DARP/EA described the assessment of recreational fishing service losses attributable to hazardous substances released from the site and the restoration actions preferred to compensate for those losses. As a result of the public comments received on the Draft DARP/EA, some of the restoration alternatives identified to compensate for such losses have been revised. The Revised Draft DARP/EA summarizes these public comments, identifies changes to the restoration plan that were determined to be necessary in light of the comments and other information received, and adopts as final the remainder of the restoration activities proposed in the Draft DARP/EA. The Revised Draft DARP/EA is being released to allow public comment on the revised restoration alternatives now proposed for inclusion in the Final DARP/EA for the recreational fishing service losses.

The opportunity for public review and comment on the Revised Draft DARP/EA announced in this notice is required under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) 42 United States Code (USC) 9622(i), and parallels the provisions included in 43 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) §11.32(c) of the federal Natural Resource Damage Assessment regulations.

To receive a copy of the Revised Draft DARP/EA, interested members of the public are invited to contact Richard Seiler at the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission, Remediation Division MC 142, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, Texas 78711-3087, (512) 239-2523 or (512) 239-4814 (fax).

DATES: Comments must be submitted in writing on or before June 11, 2000 to Richard Seiler of the TNRCC at the address listed in the previous paragraph. The Trustees will consider all written comments prior to finalizing the DARP/EA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Lavaca Bay Site is located in Point Comfort, Calhoun County, Texas and encompasses releases of hazardous substances from Alcoa's Point Comfort Operations facility. Between 1948 and the present, Alcoa has constructed and operated several types of manufacturing processes at this facility, including aluminum smelting, carbon paste and briquette manufacturing, gas processing, chlor-alkali processing, and alumina refining. Past operations at the facility resulted in the release of hazardous substances into the environment, including the discharge of mercury-containing wastewater into Lavaca Bay from 1966 to 1970 and releases into the bay through groundwater. In April 1988, the Texas Department of Health (TDH) issued a "closure order" prohibiting the taking of finfish and crabs for consumption from a specific area of Lavaca Bay near the facility due to elevated mercury concentrations in these resources.

The Alcoa Point Comfort/Lavaca Bay Site was added to the National Priorities List, pursuant to §105 of CERCLA, 42 USC §9601, effective on March 25, 1994 (59 FR 8794; February 23, 1994). The site was listed primarily due to the presence of mercury in several species of fish and crab in Lavaca Bay, the fishing closure imposed by TDH, and the presence of mercury and other hazardous substances in bay sediments adjacent to the facility. Alcoa, the State of Texas, and the United States Environmental Protection Agency signed an Administrative Order on Consent under CERCLA in March 1994 providing for a remedial investigation and feasibility study (RI/FS) for the site.

NOAA, DOI, TPWD, TGLO, and TNRCC are designated natural resource trustees under §107(f) of CERCLA, §311 of the Federal Water Pollution and Control Act, 33 USC §1321, and other applicable federal or state laws, including Subpart G of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan, 40 CFR §§300.600-300.615. The Trustees are authorized to act on behalf of the public under these authorities to protect and restore natural resources and resource services injured or lost as a result of discharges or releases of hazardous substances.

Concurrent with the RI/FS process for the site, the Trustees and Alcoa have undertaken an assessment of the natural resource injuries and service losses resulting from releases of hazardous substances attributable to the site and of the restoration actions necessary to address those losses. Alcoa participated pursuant to a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between Alcoa and the Trustees, which was effective January 14, 1997. Both the Draft DARP/EA and the Revised Draft DARP/EA have been developed under the cooperative assessment framework outlined in the MOA.

The Draft DARP/EA was released for public review on October 1, 1999. That document described the assessment procedures used to define the recreational fishing service losses and to scale the restoration actions. It also identified the restoration actions preferred to compensate for those service losses based on the benefits of restoration to both pier/shore-mode and boat-mode anglers. None of the public comments received on the Draft DARP/EA raised any issue regarding the assessment methodology described therein or the restoration actions proposed to compensate for pier/shore-mode fishing losses. Consequently, these plan elements will be included in the Final DARP/EA. Significant public comments were received, however, relating to the restoration action proposed in the Draft DARP/EA to address the boat-mode fishing losses and, based upon these comments, the Trustees found it necessary to revise that portion of the plan. The Revised Draft DARP/EA summarizes the public comments received, identifies the revised, preferred restoration alternatives to address the remainder of the recreational fishing service losses, and explains the basis and rationale for that change. The Revised Draft DARP/EA is being released to allow for public review and comment on the preferred restoration alternatives now identified to restore or replace the remainder of the recreational fishing services needed to compensate the public for recreational fishing losses due to the closure by TDH of portions of the bay impacted by the site.

The Revised Draft DARP/EA does not address any other natural resource injuries or service losses that may be attributable to the site. Other resource injuries or losses are being considered by the Trustees, but will be addressed in one or more subsequent damage assessment and restoration plans.
