(Plan)was developed to assess injury to natural resources as a result of exposure to hazardous substances released to the environment through industrial practices. The Sauget Industrial Corridor Sites are located within the Villages of Sauget, Cahokia, and East St. Louis, in St. Clair County, Illinois. The Plan is being released to the public in accordance with the Natural Resource Damages Assessment Regulations found in the Code of Federal Regulations

The Plan has been developed within the authority provided by the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. 9601 et seq.), as amended, and the Clean Water Act, as amended (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.). All written comments will be considered by the Trustees, and included in the Report of Assessment at the conclusion of the assessment process. *Public Disclosure:* Before including your address, phone number, email address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment—including your personal identifying information—may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.
