Indian Creek Riparian Buffer and Stream Enhancement Project: THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD TO A SINGLE SOURCE AND THERE IS NO FULL ANNOUCEMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS NOTICE. This is a notice of intent to award a Cooperative Agreement between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Upper Tennessee River Roundtable (UTRR) for the purpose of establishing riparian buffers and performing stream enhancement activities within the Clinch River watershed. These activities are being carried out as required by the consent decree that was entered with the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Virginia on April 7, 2003, to address natural resource damages resulting from a 1998 chemical spill. The restoration activities are described within the publicly reviewed Restoration Plan/Environmental Assessment for the Certus Chemical Spill Natural Resource Damage Assessment (Plan). The Plan specifically identifies habitat protection, restoration, and the use of best management practices as measures to improve water quality and overall health of the aquatic ecosystem. The activities funded via the cooperative agreement will supplement existing restoration activities in the Clinch River watershed.
