LOUISIANA The Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority is planning to carry out the St. Catherine Island Marsh Creation and Shoreline Protection Project in Orleans Parish. This project would extend the Bayou Chevee rock dike along approximately 33,324 ft of weakened Lake Pontchartrain shoreline. A 6,468-ft foreshore dike and a 13,851-ft revetment totaling 20,319 ft is proposed to be built along a portion of the Bayou Savauge National Wildlife Refuge. This would protect approximately 201 acres. This project would also provide 100 acres of marsh creation and 15 acres of marsh nourishment. That marsh would be created by filling those sites with material hydraulically dredged from the bottom of Lake Pontchartrain. A combination of healthy established marshes, bayou ridges, and constructed earthen dikes would contain that material. All constructed containment dikes would be sufficiently gapped within 3 years to allow for exchange of nutrients and estuarine organisms. The project is valued at $25.3 million.
