OSWER DIRECTIVE #9345.3-01
MEMORANDUM IAN 30
SUBJECT: Request for Designation of State Natu/Jal Resource
Trustees
FROM: Henry L. Longest II, Director
Office of Emergency and
TO: Addressees
Purpose;
To remind Regional Division Directors of the need for States
to designate Natural Resource Trustees for CERCLA purposes.
Background;
In my memorandum dated April 8, 1988 on the same subject, I
asked you to contact Governors to request designations of Natural
Resource Trustees. I am asking again. The revised National
Contingency Plan (NCP) has been proposed; the duties and
responsibilities of State Natural Resource Trustees have been
explicitly set out, along with your responsibility to notify and
coordinate with them. As of this date we have received letters
from the Governors of the following States designating Natural
Resource Trustees: Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, New Hampshire,
New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia.
A recent letter from Mr. Bruce Blanchard, Director of
Environmental Project Review in the Department of the Interior,
contains an attachment listing designations which have been made
to his office. I have attached a copy for your information.
CERCLA section 107(f)(2)(B) specifically states that the Governor
of each State shall designate State officials who may act on
behalf of the public as trustee for natural resources under
CERCLA and under section 311 of the Federal Water Pollution
Control Act, and shall notify the President of such designations.
That authority to accept notifications has been re-delegated to
the Assistant Administrator for Solid Waste and Emergency
Response and to the Regional Administrators.

Ob-iective;
I am very much interested in having appropriate designations
in place and up to date; having the State trustees listed in
Regional Response Plans; and having notification and coordination
take place as spelled out in the revised NCP. I believe the
State trustees have a role to play in the environmental review of
a site, and in State acceptance of a cleanup decision.
Implementation;
Please contact the Governors of the States in your Region to
get an official designation of State Natural Resource Trustee for
CERCLA. If the Regional Administrator has already received such
designations, please send a copy of these designations to
Sandra Lee, Toxics Integration Branch, OS-230. Copies of any
such designations received in Headquarters will be forwarded to
you immediately.
