(1) Reimbursement.— To reimburse response costs and damage assessments by the Secretary or other Federal agencies as the Secretary considers appropriate.
(2) Restoration and replacement.— To restore, replace, or acquire the equivalent of System unit resources that were the subject of the action and to monitor and study those System unit resources.
