Restoration is defined as the act or process of accurately depicting the form, features, and character of a property as it appeared at a particular period of time by means of the removal of features from other periods in its history and reconstruction of missing features from the restoration period. The limited and sensitive upgrading of mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems and other code-required work to make properties functional is appropriate within a restoration project.
Drought - Protecting Salmon - Funding for planning and implementation projects that enhance resiliency to drought and climate change through restoration, protection, or enhancement of riparian and aquatic habitat and river channels, reconnection of historical flood plains, or improvements to ecological functions.
Wetlands and Mountain Meadows Restoration - Funding for Mountain Meadows and non-coastal Wetlands restoration consistent with the Natural and Working Lands Climate Smart Strategy(opens in new tab) and Pathways to 30x30(opens in new tab).
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act present a once-in-a-generation opportunity for transformational, durable ecosystem restoration that will significantly address climate change, sustainably protect sensitive ecosystems and support underserved local communities.
Ecosystem restoration will create or maintain upland and aquatic intactness and connectivity; ensure proper watershed function; support the growth and maintenance of native plant communities; and limit or mitigate disturbance.
Seagrasses are recognized as a critical nearshore habitat throughout greater Puget Sound for fish, waterfowl and invertebrates. Many of the fish and waterfowl supported by seagrass habitat are commercially and recreationally important. Seagrasses improve water quality through absorbtion of carbon dioxide and sequestration of nutrients. The complex structure seagrass creates in the nearshore reduces water flow, allows particulates to settle out, and stabilizes sediments. Seagrasses have declined due to activities that affect nearshore water quality and habitat. Changes to shorelines, dredging, mooring buoys and overwater structures directly impact seagrass habitat while increases in runoff and sewage discharge affect water quality.Seagrass restoration in Puget SoundThe Department of Natural Resources is the lead agency for seagrass restoration in greater Puget Sound, the portion of the Salish Sea within US jurisdicton. The primary objective has been to restore native eelgrass (Zostera marina L.), because of its widespread distribution, habitat importance, and susceptibility to direct (e.g., physical damage) and indirect (e.g., water quality degradation) disturbances. Eelgrass restoration aligns with management strategies for the recovery of essential nearshore fish habitat for listed salmonids, rockfish and other species of recreational and commercial importance.Eelgrass Restoration ProcessSince 2012, the Nearshore Habitat Program has transplanted eelgrass throughout Puget Sound with a focus on restoring areas where eelgrass historically grew. It is an iterative, adaptive process that starts with a suitability model to identify transplant sites that will ensure the highest possible success.

Looming industrial projects, coastal restoration spending and casino developments could push the New Orleans region to gain 20,800 jobs in the next two years, according to the Louisiana Economic Forecast, an annual report published by economist Loren Scott.
These goals will be reached through the implementation and tracking of pilot projects that address coastal, storm water and floodplain impacts. Nature-based restoration techniques can enhance the ability of communities to respond to or recover from storms, flooding and other climate hazards by buffering people and infrastructure. Wetlands, dunes, living shorelines and other green-infrastructure practices can help communities adapt to changing conditions when used alongside other strategies.

The Restoration Industry Association is the industry's oldest, largest, best funded and best organized association representing the interests of restoration contractors in the US and around the world. it leads the charge in advocating for fair and level playing field for reputable contractors.
If you apply for and are found eligible for restoration of entitlement because your school closed or your program of education was disapproved while you were attending school and using GI Bill benefits, your entitlement is restored immediately.
The Route Planning Restoration Program provides funds under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 for public transportation planning associated with the restoration of transit service reduced due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
We provide an estimated restoration time to let you know approximately how long your power will be out. Our estimated restoration times are generally based on the worst case scenarios in similar situations. Often we are able to restore power sooner than we predict, but sometimes it can take a bit longer.
Widespread damage from a severe storm may make it impossible to accurately predict when a particular customer's power will be restored, especially in the early phases of an outage when the extent of the damage is being assessed. When determining the estimated restoration time, we take a number of things into consideration, such as:
The purpose of the Section 206, Aquatic Ecosystem Restoration this authority is to develop aquatic ecosystem restoration and protection projects that cost effectively improve the quality of the environment, and are in the public interest.
The Section 1135, Project Modifications for Improvement of the Environment authority provides for the review and modification of structures and operations of water resources projects constructed by USACE for the purpose of improving the quality of the environment. Projects must be feasible, consistent with the authorized project purposes, and improve the quality of the environment in the public interest. In addition, if USACE water resources project has contributed to the degradation of the quality of the environment, restoration measures may be implemented at the project site or at other locations that have been affected by the construction or operation of the project, if such measures do not conflict with the authorized project purposes.
The purpose of the Section 204, Beneficial Uses of Dredged Material authority is to carry out projects for the protection, restoration, and creation of aquatic and ecologically related habitats, including wetlands, in connection with dredging for construction, operation, or maintenance of a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers authorized navigation project.
Investigations and projects to address ecosystem restoration objectives may be undertaken in response to either a study specific or standing authority provided by the Congress. Study-specific authorizations may be provided in resolutions from the House Committee on Infrastructure and Transportation, or the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. Ecosystem restoration projects must be consistent with the requirements of the authorization.
The purpose of the Estuary Restoration Act, as amended, (ERA) is to promote the restoration of estuary habitat; to develop a national Estuary Habitat Restoration Strategy for creating and maintaining effective partnerships within the Federal government and with the private sector; to provide Federal assistance for and promote efficient financing of estuary habitat restoration projects; and to develop and enhance monitoring, data sharing, and research capabilities. The ERA authorizes a program under which the Secretary of the Army (through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) may carry out projects and provide technical assistance to meet the restoration goal.
We report on survival and growth of ponderosa pines (Pinus ponderosa Douglas ex P. Lawson & C. Lawson) 2 decades after forest restoration treat- ments in the G. A. Pearson Natural Area, northern Arizona. Despite protection from harvest that conserved old trees, a dense forest susceptible to uncharac- teristically severe disturbance had developed during more than a century of exclusion of the previous frequent surface-fire regime that ceased upon Euro-American settlement in approximately 1876.
