Natural Resource Damage Assessment guidance document: scaling compensatory restoration actions (Oil Pollution Act of 1990) Scaling compensatory restoration actions : guidance document for Natural Resource Damage Assessment under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990

This guidance document presents a decision-making framework for developing a reasonable range of restoration alternatives and scaling restoration alternatives. The goal of scaling is to select the appropriate size of the restoration actions so that the services they provide return resources to baseline and compensate the public for the interim losses. In particular, we focus on the selection and implementation of approaches (resource-to-resource/service-to-service or valuation) for scaling compensatory restoration actions.
