What Is Restoration?
Returning resources to conditions that existed prior to the release of hazardous substances.
![Page 19: Anniston PCB Site Natural Resource Damage Assessment and ... 2010... · 1/21/2010 · Chapter 7: Damage Determination - describes proposed approach to calculate costs of restoration](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051922/600fbd75c6daea6e1e6b684c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Examples of Restoration
• Enhance or restore quality of existing habitat (examples - planting trees, restoring streams, etc.) • Increase populations through reintroduction or
restocking (examples - stocking mussels or fish) • Public access and education (examples - providing nature trails, fishing access,
educational kiosks, etc.)
