Look up Tiger and Trinity shoals. Many million CY of very fine sand. I’d say that should do it and is far more economical to get ashore, even if double handling, than trucking or barging from Atchafalaya.

Regardless of the earthen material used for backfill, you'd have to pile support the structures. Typically in south Louisiana brown/black clay soils.

Somehow I think this is the least of the issues with this project.

The place is currently dirt. How would they need to get more dirt?

They're going to get the dirt from some rural property Landry's cousin (who is married to the daughter of the Vermillion parish president) owns. Thats the Louisiana way.

Then they'll rent the big hole to another company who disposes chemical waste. See how that works?

The same way we have been moving dirt or fill around. Dredging.

And the initial development is around 1,000 acres. So, you won't need enough to build up 100k acres at first.

Why do you assume they will use dirt to stabilize marshland?

Yep. He's building a port there so he needs to dig for that anyway.
