[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]On June 24, 1989, the Uruguayan oil tanker M\/V\u00a0Presidente Rivera\u00a0<\/em>ran aground near Marcus Hook, Pennsylvania spilling approximately 200-255,000 gallons of No. 6 oil into the Delaware River.\u00a0 The oil spill resulted in injury to natural resources held in public trust by both federal and state governments (New Jersey and Delaware) which impacted blue crab and bird population, and diminished recreational use and enjoyment of the Delaware River and shoreline in areas adjacent to the oil spill during the summer of 1989.<\/p>\n

The state and federal trustees, U.S. Department of Interior (DOI) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) filed claims for natural resource damages, removal costs, and penalties under the Clean Water Act and applicable state laws.\u00a0 In July 1993 the federal and state trustees and the Oriental Republic of Uruguay entered a Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the District of Delaware.\u00a0 Under the Consent Decree natural resource damage recovery was equally divided between Delaware and New Jersey to be used for restoration projects agreed upon by these states, NOAA and DOI.<\/p>\n

Below is a summary of restoration projects used with the recovered moneys.<\/p>\n
