Baptiste Collette Deepening
The plans to dredge Baptiste Collette Bayou to maintain a depth of 26 feet are progressing well. Plaquemines Parish funded $250,000 for a recon study of the bayou that was presented to Parish President Nungesser and the Parish Council at the end of October 2007. A conservative cost-benefit ratio of 1.4 was determined, a number that well exceeds what the Corps of Engineers requires for consideration. The next step, the feasibility study, that will cost approximately $3 million commenced March 1, 2008. Once this study is complete April 2010, the results will be presented to the Corps of Engineers for approval and funding of the project.
