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) Southwest Louisiana Gulf Shoreline Nourishment and Protection (ME-24) project as requested by the Federal project sponsor, the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers. During the CWPPRA Program’s annual review of unconstructed projects, costs to implement and maintain the project were updated and found to be approximately double the currently approved project estimate of $23,425,325. As a result, both the CWPPRA Planning & Evaluation Subcommittee and the CWPPRA Technical Committee recommended deauthorization of the ME-24 project and the local project sponsor, the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority, concurs with this action. This 16th Priority Project List project is located along the Gulf of Mexico shoreline in the Mermentau Basin in Cameron and Vermillion Parishes, Louisiana.
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 January 12, 2015 to the following address:
