Project Description
The Louisiana Trustee Implementation Group (LA TIG) Restoration Plan 1 (Phase I) selected six restoration projects to proceed with engineering and design (E&D) activities. The Phase I restoration plan was prepared to inform the public about DWH NRDA restoration planning efforts and to select six restoration projects for engineering and design (E&D). Tiering from the LA TIG Restoration Plan 1 (Phase I), the LA TIG utilized restoration planning funds to develop and finalize the second phase of restoration planning (Phase II) for five of the six E&D projects approved in the LA TIG Final Restoration Plan #1 (Phase I). Three Phase II Restoration Plans (RP/EA #1.1, RP/EA #1.2 and RP/EA #1.3) were developed and evaluated the design alternatives for construction of the five E&D projects. The three Phase II Plans (RP/EA #1.1, RP/EA #1.2 and RP/EA #1.3) comprise this Project ID 126. Through the Phase II planning process, five project alternatives were identified to proceed to implementation. Implementation of the five resulting projects is tracked separately and includes: •Queen Bess Island Restoration Project (RP/EA #1.1; Project ID 83) •Lake Borgne Marsh Creation Project: Increment One (RP/EA #1.2; Project ID 82) •Barataria Basin Ridge and Marsh Creation Project: Spanish Pass Increment (RP/EA #1.2; Project ID 81) •Shoreline Protection at Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve (RP/EA #1.3; Project ID 79) •Rabbit Island Restoration Project (RP/EA #1.3; Project ID 84) Design alternatives for construction of the sixth E&D project selected in RP#1 (Phase I) were evaluated in the LA TIG RP/EA #7 (Project ID 243).
