Notes from the chair of the Herring River Technical Committee (then Robert Hubby), published in May 2006, reveal that the group anticipated financial liability for harm caused by the project:

• "When will a fund be established to mitigate any damage to private property owners, businesses and shell fishermen?"
• "Where will the funds come from?"
• "When will a plan covering cost, funding, and assignment of liability be drafted?"
• "What will be done to compensate private individuals for damages related to the restoration?"
• "How will the costs of restoration affect the tax rate?"
