Oil Spill Natural Resource Trustees Announce Public Meetings On Proposed Projects The Deepwater Horizon Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) Trustees recently released the Deepwater Horizon Draft Phase I Early Restoration Plan & Environmental Assessment for public input and suggestions.

Mississippi‘s Natural Resource Trustee Trudy D. Fisher, Executive Director of the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality.

This draft plan is the first in an anticipated series of plans to begin restoration of the Gulf of Mexico to compensate for natural resource injuries, including the loss of human use of Gulf resources, from the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill.

January 17, 2011, 6 p.m. – 9 p.m. Jackson County: Gautier Convention Center 2012 Library Lane, Gautier

A series of public meetings will be held at various locations throughout the costal communities. ―In Mississippi, three public meetings are being offered, one in each coastal county, to ensure our citizens have ample opportunity to contribute to the restoration process,‖ said

The meetings are scheduled for:

January 18, 2011, 6 p.m. – 9 p.m. Harrison County: Westside Community Center, 4006 8th Street, Gulfport, MS 39501 January 19, 2011, 6 p.m. – 9 p.m. Hancock County: Bay St. Louis Community Hall, 301 Blaize Avenue, Bay Saint Louis, MS Fisher said the format of the meetings will consist of an open-house session from 6 to 7 p.m., followed by a more traditional session beginning at 7 p.m. in which a formal presentation will be made and verbal public comments accepted in a group setting. During the open house portion of the meetings, individuals may review the plan, ask questions of subject-matter experts and provide comments about the proposed draft plan and environmental assessment. Along with Fisher, the meetings will be attended by federal Trustee Council members from the Department of the Interior and NOAA, as well as subjectmatter experts from Mississippi and the region. In addition to the three Missis-

sippi public meetings, the Trustees will hold nine more public meetings in January and February 2012 throughout the Gulf Coast and in Washington, D.C. To see the plan, access public meeting details and view additional details about the proposed projects and how to submit comments, visit www.gulfspillrestoration.n oaa.gov. The public comment period will end Feb. 14, 2012. The DERP/EA outlines the initial eight projects proposed to receive funding from the $1 billion Early Restoration agreement announced by the Trustees and BP on April 21, 2011. This proposed plan includes two projects each in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi with a total estimated cost of more than $57 million. These projects reflect the ideas and input received by the Trustees through project solicitation and outreach efforts. In Mississippi, the Phase I DERP/EA proposes the following projects: — Mississippi Oyster Cultch Restoration - Hancock and Harrison Counties; 1,430 acres of cultch restoration; benefitting oysters in Mississippi Sound; estimated cost: $11,000,000. — Mississippi Artificial Reef Habitat.

Presidential Hopeful Perry Visits The Pass The Gazebo Gazette has been lucky to make a number of trips to our nation‘s capital this fall! In the photos above, the GG traveled with Sally and Wayne James, Mary Ann and Harry Bishop and Betty Jo and Robert Bishop to the top of the 315-foot Clock Tower in the Old Post Office Pavilion (left) and to the National Air & Space Museum (right). In addition, Heather Chaszar and Jennifer Schmidt (pictured at right) took the Gazebo Gazette with them to Arlington, Va., to run the Marine Corps Marathon, a 26.2 mile race through Virginia and D.C. Texas Governor and Republican presidential hopeful Rick Perry was in Pass Christian on Nov. 17 for a campaign stop hosted by Jane and Dave Dennis. During his visit, Governor Perry and his wife Anita took photos with supporters — including with the Dennis family, pictured above — and spoke about his reasons for running for president. The Mississippi primary is Mar. 13, 2012.
