The St. Lawrence Environment Trustee Council solicited restoration projects ideas from government, public and non-governmental organizations familiar with the St. Lawrence River ecosystem. The trustees then then vetted these ideas through evaluation criteria, identifying preferred restoration projects, detailed in the Restoration Compensation and Determination Plan.

Preferred ecological projects have a linkage to the injured resources or associated services, proximity to injured resources or protected land, benefits to protected species, benefits to unique habitats and enhance public enjoyment of natural resources.
