Louisiana Trustees Initiate Restoration Plan #7 for Wetlands, Coastal, and Nearshore Habitats and Birds
The Louisiana Trustee Implementation Group is beginning the process of drafting a Deepwater Horizon restoration plan to address the restoration goals of “Restore and Conserve Habitat” and “Replenish and Protect Living Coastal and Marine Resources”. The plan will consider projects under the “Wetlands, Coastal, and Nearshore Habitats” and “Birds” restoration types. Development of the Restoration Plan will be consistent with the Trustees’ Programmatic Damage Assessment and Restoration Plan, the Oil Pollution Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, their implementing regulations, and all applicable Federal and Louisiana law.
We began this restoration planning effort on December 18, 2019, by requesting project ideas from the public. The submission period for project ideas closed on January 17, 2020. We greatly appreciate your input and are reviewing those project ideas that were submitted.
For Birds, we will prioritize projects that restore existing nesting habitat to maximize likelihood of success and benefit to injured resources.
For Wetlands, Coastal, and Nearshore Habitats, we are focusing on projects that will be construction ready in the near term and those that have sufficient planning to advance to engineering & design.
We expect to release a draft restoration plan and environmental assessment in fall 2020. The public will be given the opportunity to review and provide comment on the draft plan, and proposed projects. After the public comment period ends, we will review, consider, and incorporate public comments, as appropriate, before releasing a final restoration plan.

Notice of Intent to Supplemental a Louisiana Restoration Area Plan
The Louisiana Trustee Implementation Group is considering changes to the Cypremort Point State Park Improvements Project initially approved in the July 2018 Final Restoration Plan and Environmental Assessment #4. One component of the project has already been completed by the State of Louisiana with other funds, so we’ll be considering new alternatives.
In Restoration Plan #4, the Louisiana TIG selected 19 projects intended to compensate for recreational use opportunities that were lost as a result of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Among them was the Cypremort Project at an estimated cost of $4.48 million.
The project proposed enhancing fishing and recreational opportunities, providing new opportunities for recreational and educational use, restoring beaches for recreation and wildlife habitat, and protecting coastal nearshore marine habitats and recreational infrastructure.
Project components in the approved project include beach restoration, marsh boardwalk and trail construction, road and jetty repairs, and replacement of the breakwater system that helps protect the park’s recreational beach.
Since the finalization of Restoration Plan #4, the Louisiana Office of State Parks identified alternative funds and completed the breakwater system component of this project. Therefore, we will now consider other alternatives to the breakwater system project element.
Once proposed changes are developed, we will make them available for public review and comment in a draft supplemental restoration plan. After the public comment period ends, we will review, consider, and address public comments, as appropriate, before selecting an alternatives for implementation in a final supplement to Restoration Plan #4.

The Louisiana Trustee Implementation Group has initiated developing the Draft Restoration Plan/Environmental Assessment #3.1: Barataria Basin Marsh Creation (Draft Restoration Plan #3.1). This restoration plan will tier from the Strategic Restoration Plan and Environmental Assessment for Barataria Basin, Louisiana (Barataria Basin Strategic Restoration Plan), pursuant to the Deepwater Horizon Trustees Programmatic Restoration Plan.
The Trustees initially began this restoration planning effort in April 2017 with the announcement of the intent to draft the Barataria Basin Strategic Restoration Plan. In that plan, we analyzed four strategic alternatives “to restore ecosystem-level injuries in the Gulf of Mexico through restoration of critical wetlands, coastal and nearshore habitat resources and services in the Barataria Basin.” Marsh creation and ridge restoration plus large-scale sediment diversion was selected as the strategic alternative best meeting the purpose and need for restoration in the Barataria Basin. In Draft Restoration Plan #3.1, we will consider one or more project alternatives consistent with the large-scale marsh creation approach evaluated in the Barataria Basin Strategic Restoration Plan.
Consistent with the Oil Pollution Act, project alternatives will be evaluated that restore, rehabilitate, replace, or acquire the equivalent of the injured wetland, coastal and nearshore habitat resources and services and compensate for interim losses of those resources from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, and environmental impacts of the project alternatives will be analyzed as required by the National Environmental Policy Act. The reasonable range of project alternatives evaluated in the Draft Restoration Plan #3.1 will also be consistent with the goals and objectives of Louisiana’s 2017 Comprehensive Master Plan for a Sustainable Coast.
We expect to release the Draft Restoration Plan #3.1 in the first half of 2019. The public will be given the opportunity to review and provide input on the proposed plan. After the public comment period ends, we will review and consider all relevant comments and revise the plan as appropriate before releasing a final restoration plan.

The Louisiana Trustee Implementation Group is beginning the process of drafting the second phase of planning for evaluation of construction of projects identified for engineering and design in the Louisiana Trustee Implementation Group Final Restoration Plan #1: Restoration of Wetlands, Coastal, and Nearshore Habitats; Habitat Projects on Federally Managed Lands; and Birds (Final RP #1).
We initially began this restoration planning effort in July 2016 by requesting project ideas from the public through August 12, 2016. On August 17, 2016, we provided notice of the drafting of the first phase of this restoration plan, the Final RP #1, which was later released for public comment on October 20, 2016, and finalized and published on January 20, 2017.
In the Final RP #1, we selected six restoration projects to proceed with engineering and design (E&D) activities:
- Terrebonne Basin Ridge and Marsh Creation Project: Bayou Terrebonne Increment
- Barataria Basin Ridge and Marsh Creation Project: Spanish Pass Increment
- Lake Borgne Marsh Creation Project: Increment One
- Shoreline Protection at Jean Lafitte National Historic Park and Preserve
- Queen Bess Island Restoration Project
- Rabbit Island Restoration Project
We also outlined a phased restoration approach for these six restoration projects. As such, the Final RP #1 requested funding only for the E&D phase of each of the six selected restoration projects. Now that sufficient information has been developed through E&D activities, the Trustees have determined that we will proceed with a second phase(s) of restoration planning for these projects.
The second phase plan or plans will further evaluate the projects to determine whether the projects should proceed to construction. We will give the public an opportunity to review and provide input on the proposed plan(s), including specific designs proposed for construction. After the public comment period ends, we will review, consider, and incorporate public comments, as appropriate, before releasing any final restoration plans.
