Deauthorization Procedures Starting for TV-19
PUBLIC NOTICE
The Louisiana Coastal Wetlands Conservation and Restoration Task Force is initiating procedures to deauthorize the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection, and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) Weeks Bay Marsh Creation and Shore Protection/Commercial Canal Freshwater Redirection (TV-19) project as requested by the local project sponsor, the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA), based upon limited benefits, high cost/acre (cost ineffectiveness), and the unconstructability of the recommended alternative. The Task Force further directed the project sponsors to give additional consideration to potential scope change(s) that might avoid project deauthorization and/or facilitate project transfer to another Federal agency. In addition, the Task Force determined that a final deauthorization decision would be made at the future Task Force meeting in June 2013.
This 9th Priority Project List project was supposed to be located in Iberia Parish, in the northeastern area of Vermilion and Weeks Bays. Original project features included construction of retention levees, dedicated placement of dredged material to create marsh, revegetation of critical areas along north shorelines, and armoring of shore and bank areas.
Prior to making a final decision, the Task Force will consider written comments on the request to deauthorize the project. Written comments should be provided by May 20, 2013, to the following address:
If you need further information, please contact Mr. Brad Inman, CWPPRA Program Manager, at (504) 862-2124.
