TWO Corps Approved Banks in TWO Weeks:
Moss Lake & Bayou Fisher Mitigation Banks are Online!
|
 |
The Corps of Engineers, New Orleans District issued their final approval of Delta's Moss Lake Mitigation Bank, located in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana. The Moss Lake Mitigation Bank can now offset forested, scrub-shrub and emergent wetland impacts for permit applicants in Southwest Louisiana.
The 301.2-acre bank site will generate bottomland hardwood and coastal prairie credits through the re-establishment and rehabilitation of bottomland hardwood and coastal prairie/meadow wetlands.
Due to the unique wetland types restored within the project area, the bank provides mitigation for two service areas. The Bottomland Hardwood (BLH) service area provides mitigation for impacts to BLH, mixed forest, scrub-shrub, scrub-herbaceous wetlands, and herbaceous wetlands. Pending the Corps' coordination with the Inter-Agency Review Team (IRT), it is being considered that the Coastal Prairie service area provides mitigation for impacts to farmed wetlands, wetland pasture, non-tidal emergent and scrub-shrub wetlands, as well as for low-quality bottomland hardwood forest or mixed pine-bottomland hardwood occupying known prairie soil mapping units.

The Corps of Engineers, New Orleans District issued their final approval of Delta's Bayou Fisher Mitigation Bank, located in Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana. The Bayou Fisher Mitigation Bank can now offset forested wetland impacts for permit applicants in the Atchafalaya Basin.
The 507.8-acre bank site will generate BLH credits through the re-establishment of BLH wetlands in the Atchafalaya Watershed. Phase II of the Bayou Fisher Mitigation Bank has also been submitted to the New Orleans District and will provide another 243.7-acres of BLH and 120.1-acres of baldcypress swamp credits upon approval in late 2014. Additionally, the restoration of forested wetlands at the site will benefit the recovery of the threatened Louisiana black bear by establishing a forested corridor between two existing forested systems currently designated as critical habitat for the species.

SHORE|LINKS® - New Rehabilitation and Erosion Prevention Projects
|
Golden Pass Pipeline Project:
May 2014: Delta deployed SHORE|LINKS® units and California bull rush plants along an impacted area on the Golden Pass Pipeline ROW near Port Arthur, Texas. This project was part of a FERC requirement to restore the impacted ROW to its original state. A series of terraces were constructed with the SHORE|LINKS® units to help increase elevation and facilitate the growth of vegetation. The goal is to fill in these open water areas with vegetation.

Buras Boat Harbor Project:
July 2014: Delta shipped SHORE|LINKS® material to Buras, Louisiana to armor 580 linear feet of a newly constructed earthen berm. The berm was constructed with local dredged borrow material on a 5 to 1 slope. After several lifts, the berm will then be protected with large SHORE|LINKS® articulation revetment mats placed between - 1 foot and +1 foot NAVD88. Above +1 foot NAVD88, individual SHORE|LINKS® units were also placed up to the crown of the berm. Plantings of smooth cord grass and salt grass will follow on 2 foot centers to facilitate stability and anchoring of the SHORE|LINKS® units.

SHORE|LINKS® - New Articulation Revetment Mat (11ft X 10FT)
|
Delta recently developed a large SHORE|LINKS® Articulating Revetment Mat that covers 110 square feet. Delta designed and fabricated a custom hopper that attaches to an excavator boom which is used to fill the lightweight aggregate into 22 lobes of the mat. Loops on one end are sewn for easy placement in the field. |
