PROJECT STATUS REPORT as of 02-Jan-2025
Little Vermilion Bay Sediment Trapping COMPLETE
PROJECT LOCATION:
The project is located four miles southwest of Intracoastal City in Vermilion Parish, LA.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Through the dredging of a system of distributary channels off two man-made channels that cross Little Vermilion Bay from the Freshwater Bayou Canal, sedimentation will be induced in shallow areas away from the main channels to eventually create emergent marsh, and the existing shoreline and deposition will be enhanced and protected from wind-wave erosion.
PROJECT STATUS: (Project Status Last Updated: 29-Apr-2011 )
An O&M inspection was conducted by OCPR on 2-22-11. It was reported that the terraces and vegetation appear to be in good condition. Emergent vegetation was noted to be colonizing in some locations between terraces. The Freshwater Bayou canal bank continues to erode and retreat along the northern edge of the project resulting in some erosion on the ends of those terraces closest to Freshwater Bayou. Near term options to address this issue are currently being considered.
FUND STATUS:
The current project estimate is $783,937 , which includes $548,747 for construction first costs, and $145,166 and $90,025 for 20 years of monitoring and operations and maintenance, respectively.
