What Does NRDA Stand For?

NRDA stands for Natural Resource Damage Assessment

The Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) is a process mandated under federal and state laws to evaluate the impact of environmental incidents, such as oil spills or chemical releases, on natural resources. It aims to determine the extent of ecological damage, assess the loss of resources, and develop restoration plans to recover affected ecosystems. NRDA involves scientific assessment, stakeholder engagement, and legal considerations to ensure appropriate remediation and compensation for environmental harm.
