Description:

"The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is the lead federal agency for National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) compliance for the Marsh Creation and Enhancement via Hydrologic Restoration Project planned near West Cove Canal in the Sabine National Wildlife Refuge (Sabine 1999 Project). This project is sponsored by state and federal Natural Resource Trustees to restore natural resources and services injured by hazardous substances released into Bayou Verdine and Coon Island Loop, Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana. Under the Final DARP/EA, the resource injuries assessed by the Trustees will be compensated by constructing approximately 14.7 new acres of marsh, enhancing the ecological functioning of approximately 247 acres of existing brackish marsh as well as approximately 30.0 acres of mud flats, and increasing the expected functional lifespan of these habitats. The restoration will take place at the site of a former dredge disposal/marsh effort within the Sabine National Wildlife Refuge (NWR). The Refuge is managed by the USFWS, and is located within the Calcasieu Estuary, in Cameron Parish, downriver from the location of the assessed resource injury. These restoration actions will increase marsh habitat function and habitat diversity at the site. Aesthetic and recreational benefits to humans will also accrue, consistent with the substantial public access and usage available within the Sabine NWR. This action will not result in any significant impacts on the human environment"--Cover letter.
