Restoration Program

The purpose of the Damage Assessment and Restoration Tracking System (DARTS) is to efficiently manage and track information and documents on cases throughout the entire Natural Resource Damage Assessment and Restoration (NRDAR) process.

Contact information for the Department of the Interior’s Restoration Program.

The April 2010 Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico resulted in the largest offshore oil spill in U.S. history. The Department of the Interior is playing a major role in many restoration efforts. Two of our largest endeavors are the Deepwater Horizon Natural Resource Damage Assessment (DWH NRDA) and RESTORE Act implementation.
