Notice of Public Meeting: Plaquemines Parish Government
Meeting time and Location:

Plaquemines Parish Government (the Parish) will hold a Public Meeting on
the "Baptiste Collette Bayou Navigation Channel Deepening Section 203
Study" on Thursday March 4, 2010, at 6:00 p.m. at the Belle Chasse
Auditorium. The Parish hopes to provide interested parties and
stakeholders with information on the project and the opportunity to
comment during the final phases of planning and alternatives development.
The Parish is investigating alternatives for improving access to the oil
fields, drilling rigs, and production platforms located in the Central and
Eastern Planning Areas of the Gulf of Mexico. Expansion of the oil and
gas infrastructure into the eastern gulf and the emergence of larger
deep-draft Off Shore Vessels has created a need for improved access to the
offshore oil and gas infrastructure.
The purpose of the study is to assess alternatives to improve navigation,
particularly to the Venice Port Facilities and to ensure an alternative
transportation route to the offshore oil and gas infrastructure from the
Venice Port Facilities. The study area is located within the Mississippi
River Deltaic Plain of the Lower Mississippi River and experiences
extremely high erosion rates. In addition to improving navigation, the
development of an innovative and comprehensive beneficial use plan is a
top priority for the study.
