Meetings on Atchafalaya Diversion


From  http://www.lca.gov/feb2009.aspx

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and state of Louisiana are hosting a series of six scoping meetings to gather input for the planning and execution of near-term critical restoration projects identified in the Louisiana Coastal Area Plan (LCA Plan).

The LCA Plan and the recommended projects contained within it are the culmination of the Louisiana Coastal Area Ecosystem Study, which was initiated in 2001 and is jointly managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the State of Louisiana to address the State’s severe coastal land-loss problems.

The scoping meetings will be conducted under the authority of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, which established a national policy to protect the environment by requiring Environmental Impact Statements for major federal actions having a significant effect on the environment.

Please join Corps and state representatives, as well as subject matter experts to learn more about these wetland restoration projects. Attendees will have the opportunity to contribute comments and input:
