Comment on the Plan and Environmental Impact Statement

Having trouble viewing this email? View it as a Web page. Comment Period on Proposed Louisiana Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion Ends Today The comment period on the draft restoration plan for the Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion project released March 5 ends today. The Draft Phase II Restoration Plan #3.2 was initially available for public comment for 60 days from March 5, 2021 to May 4, 2021.  It was later extended to today, June 3, 2021. Concurrent with the draft restoration plan, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' draft environmental impact statement comment period also ends today. The environmental impact statement and information on how to submit comments are on the Army Corps of Engineers' website. If approved, the large-scale project would reconnect the Mississippi River to Louisiana's Barataria Basin. The project would allow the controlled release of freshwater, nutrients and sediment back into the basin to rebuild tens of thousands of acres of wetlands and contribute to the broader restoration of its ecosystem.  Submit Your Comments We encourage you to review and comment on the draft plan by submitting comments online, by mail, or during virtual public meetings listed below.
