Natural Resource Consent Decrees/Settlements

NOAA's Office of General Counsel participates in the Damage Assessment, Remediation, and Restoration Program (DARRP). Formally created in 1992, the DARRP is administered by three offices within NOAA, who collaborate on the natural resource damage assessment process. Within the Office of Response and Restoration is the Assessment and Restoration Division which handles scientific assessments; the Office of General Counsel Natural Resources provides legal counsel; and the Restoration Center implements restoration projects.

Below is the list of Natural Resource Consent Decrees/Settlements for DARRP. Additional DARRP case records can be found in the Case Documents section of the DARRP website. Also listed are settlements related to natural resource damages within the U.S. National Marine Sanctuaries.
