Unlike lower Plaquemines that would be awesome for that area.

It is #3 on the list of the top 4 of the 19th most important Louisiana projects. This means it will get funding and will probably start sometime construction over the next 36 months.
I've been hearing this since 2003.

I have been told it is still in the design phase, estimated 1.5-2 years to start actual construction...

totally agree, you can't shrimp in Maurepas and a lil freshwater won't hurt the crabs

Plaquemines parish?

Is there a list of everything they have already done from the Coast 2050 plan?
Posted on 10/13/15 at 6:46 pm to Hammertime
IDK but Coast 2050 is outdated anyway. The States Master Plan, which first came out in 2007, and is updated every five years, is the guiding document.

Gotcha. I can't remember all of the plan names, but was curious as to what they have checked off of their lists

I will see what I can dig up for you.

I was at first all in on this project.
Then recently i read articles about how blind river diversion took away flow rate of amite river and is destroying the lower amite and im skeptical if it actually will work without side effects

FYI..A new rock wall is being planned at the crossover on the Amite to help with the flow down the lower Amite at higher stages.
Secondly, 2000cfs will not move any sediment into the area, so it would only a freshwater diversion not a sediment diversion. The freshwater would help keep salinity levels down, but I am not sure if its really needed in that area.

It'll help the bass fishing ;)

So taking flow rate away from the Miss River is going to have negative side effects on ? Or is it the introduction of Miss River into the swamp that you are skeptical of? Not trying to be a smart arse....just curious on different points of view.

Super small percent of MS River. I'd think it help way more than hurt anything.

The project is alive. Its design report is under review. It got some BP $$ to finish off design. It will be built in next decade no doubt.
If it wasn't hard enough to optimize the design for the Goldie Locks type stuff (too much vs too little freshwater, and when), these things cross multiple pipelines, utilities, roads, railroads etc. And property rights haven't even been mentioned...
Also, it is designed such that it will have the ability to flow full (2000 cfs) for not even half the year.

too bad simple decisions can't be made like that with the Barataria and Breton Sound diversions...hmmmm...I wonder why

Can someone tell me why we can't drop a bomb on the levee just south of port sulphur? There's nothing along the river but two levees south of there
