| Abstract: | The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Regional Planning and Environment Division South, New Orleans District, has prepared this Environmental Assessment (EA #543) to evaluate the potential impacts associated with proposed modifications to the right of way necessary for the New Orleans to Venice Hurricane Risk Reduction Project: Incorporation of Non-Federal Levees (NFL) from Oakville to St. Jude and New Orleans to Venice Federal Hurricane Protection Levee. EA #543 also evaluates the potential impacts associated with completing compensatory mitigation for the impacts that would be incurred from construction of the NFL NOV projects using the previously identified ROW, as modified by the new ROW addressed in this EA. As a result of the NFL NOV projects, dry bottomland hardwoods, wetland bottomland hardwoods, scrub shrub, swamp, wet pasture, freshwater marsh, intermediate marsh, brackish marsh, saline marsh, and open water habitats are being impacted in the Barataria Basin. |
