NOAA and our co-trustees have finalized an addendum to the Final Restoration Plan summarizing the restoration projects selected to compensate for habitat degradation related to releases of hazardous substances from the Mattiace Petrochemical Site located on the north shore of Long Island in Glen Cove, NY.

As a result of the natural resource damage settlement, the following projects will be implemented on the north shore of Long Island: fourteen acres of coastal forest restoration at the Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary and Audubon Center in Oyster Bay Cove, three acres of grassland and wet meadow habitat restoration at a formerly industrial site in Cold Spring Harbor, 500-1000 linear feet of restoration along Beekman Creek in the Town of Oyster Bay, twenty-two acres of grassland restoration at the Underhill Preserve in the Town of Jericho, and one acre of tidal wetland restoration in Hempstead Harbor Cove in the Town of North Hempstead.
