The Louisiana Coastal Wetlands Conservation and Restoration Task Force is initiating procedures to transfer the Central Terrebonne Freshwater Enhancement (TE-66) project from the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection, and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) Program to the Planning of the Bayou Dularge Ridge, Marsh & Hydrologic Restoration (RESTORE Dularge) project, which is funded by the Resources and Ecosystems Sustainability, Tourist Opportunities and Revived Economies of the Gulf Coast States Act (RESTORE Act). This transfer is being considered based on the request from the TE-66 Local Project sponsor, the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority of Louisiana (CPRA), per their letter of October 31, 2016 and with concurrence of the project’s Federal sponsor, the Natural Resources Conservation Service. The RESTORE Dularge project incorporates goals and objectives, if not the actual features, of the CWPPRA TE-66 project. Transfer of the TE-66 project from CWPPRA to RESTORE Dularge allows any unused CWPPRA funds to be returned to the CWPPRA program for other use. The TE-66 project, from CWPPRA’s 18 th Priority Project List, is located in Terrebonne Parish in the vicinity of Grand Pass, Lake Mechant, Rouccourci Bay, and Lake De Cade and the adjacent central Terrebonne marshes in the Terrebonne Basin.

The Task Force will consider the request to transfer the TE-66 project contingent upon any written comments received. Written comments should be provided by January 13, 2017 to the following address:

Colonel Michael N. Clancy
District Commander
U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, New Orleans District
Projects and Restoration Branch, CWPPRA Program Manager
7400 Leake Avenue
New Orleans, Louisiana 70118
