  1. Consistency with the 2012 Coastal Master Plan: Guidelines for Restoration Projects Receiving State Funding Bren Haase CPRA Board Meeting September 18, 2013 committed to our coast committed to our coast

  2. Why do we need another document? • Guidelines developed to help agencies and stakeholders with project development • Clarification of 2012 MP relative to projects of various types • Largely for CWPPRA but applicable to all projects receiving State funding

  3. What information does the document contain? • General descriptions of how the MP defines various restoration techniques • Where certain restoration techniques are applicable • Take-home message: please consult with us during project development

  4. What if I have questions about the document? • CWPPRA Task Force meeting – October 18, 2013 in New Orleans • LCP meeting in October/November in Baton Rouge • CWPPRA Technical Committee meeting – December 12, 2013 in Baton Rouge • Contact us directly

  5. Barrier Island/Headland Restoration • Creation/restoration of dunes, beaches & back barrier marshes • Utilizes dredged material and vegetative plantings • Hard structures are not primary project features

  6. Hydrologic Restoration • Restoring natural hydrologic patterns • Introduction of freshwater to reduce salinity • Prevention of saltwater intrusion • 15 projects identified in MP • In some cases alternative approaches may be considered

  7. Marsh Creation • Dredging and placement of sediment for direct creation of marsh • Over 150,000 ac identified in MP • Large, contiguous areas for greatest impact • MP focused on particular areas most resilient in analyses

  8. Oyster Barrier Reefs • Protect shorelines & provide habitat • Optimal locations still being identified • If conditions suitable, may replace traditional shoreline protection

  9. Ridge Restoration • Reestablish historic ridges • Provide habitat diversity & storm protection • Techniques still being developed

  10. Bank Stabilization • Placement of earthen material to stabilize bays, lakes, bayous, and navigation channels • For navigation channels, can comprise no more than 25% of project cost

  11. Shoreline Protection • Utilization of rock or hard structures to stabilize bays, lakes, bayous, and navigation channels • For navigation channels, can comprise no more than 25% of project cost
