NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION : 

1. A description ofeach actlvlty1 Including the need, purpose, objective(s), mlfestones and location. Include map showlng the 

location of each activity. 

This amendment was intended to re-allocate funds previously budgeted for the Access to Monkey Island Project to the Rockefeller 

Gulf Shoreline Protection Project since supplemental funds have been made available by CPRA. Both projects were approved in the 

initial multiyear plan that was accepted by Treasury on 11/19/2015. In regards to the Access to Monkey Island Project, 

supplemental funds previously anticipated were not allocated. Due to timing and economics of the project this effort is being 

delayed. 

Rockefeller Gulf Shoreline Stabilization Project 

This project is designed to address Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge gulf shoreline retreat that averages approximately 70 feet/year with 

a subsequent direct loss of emergent saline marsh. This project will help mitigate erosion at the Refuge, the State of Louisiana's 

Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) teamed with the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) to implement the 

Rockefeller Refuge Gulf Shoreline Stabilization Project through the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act 

(CWPPRA). The. overall stabilization project is intended to protect the 9.2-mile portion of the Refuge west of 

Joseph Harbor Bayou. The project entails construction of shoreline protection along the Gulf of Mexico. The proposed structure 

would be tied into the west bank of Joseph Harbor a rock breakwater with lightweight aggregate core westward for approximately 3 

miles. It would be designed to reduce shoreline retreat along this stretch of gulf shoreline, as well as promote shallowing, settling 

out, and natural vegetative colonization of the overwash material landward of the proposed structure. Gaps within the shoreline 

protection feature are also proposed to facilitate material and organism linkages. CWPPRA is funding the initial $33 million 

investment of the first 3 miles of protection. The supplemental funds from the CPRA coupled with the Parish's Restore Act 

allocation will extend the project westward another mile or so. Out of the 9 miles of permitted activities, the Parish still only has 

funds available for an estimated 5 miles of protection. The original MYIP project was estimated at $6,177,402.38 for a westward 

extension of an ongoing shoreline protection project at Rockefeller Refuge. This project is now updated to $8,671,531.00 which is 

still short of the total funding needed to fully construct protection for a 9 mile stretch of shoreline. The RESTORE Direct Component 

funds received will be utilized in the Construction Phase of this project. 

2. How the applicant made the multlyear plan available for 45 days for public review and comment, in a manner calculated to 

obtain broad-based participation from Individuals, businesses, Indian tribes, and non-profit organizations, such as through public 

meetings, presentations In languages other than English, and postings on the Internet. The applicant will need to submit 

documentation (e.g., a copy of public notices) to demonstrate that it made its multlyear plan available to the public for at least 45 

days. In addition, describe how each activity in the multlvear olan was aooroved after consideration of all meanlne:ful Input from the

public and submit documentation (e.g., a letter from the applicant's leadership approving submission of the multiyear plan to 

Treasury or a resolution approving the applicant's multiyear plan). 

Public Comment Period: 01/25/2018-03/13/2018 

An advertisement was published in the Cameron Parish Pilot newspaper on January 25, 2018 which is the official journal of record 

for the Police Jury. There were hard copies available for the public to review at our office (148 Smith Circle, Cameron LA 70631). 

Also, the Police Jury provided a link to the document on the Parish's website (http://parishofcameron.net/news-resources). In 

addition, public announcements were made at the Policy Jury meetings (February 9, 2018 & March 9, 2018) about the availability of 

these documents as well as the citizen participation meeting on February 9, 2018. The Multiyear Implementation and Expenditure 

Plan was publ ished and made available for public review and comment for a minimum of forty five (45) days. Once the plan was 

reviewed and no comment were received, the Police Jury formally submitted the amended Multiyear Plan to the Department of 

Treasury on May 1, 2018 for their review and edification. 

3. How each activity included in the applicant's multiyear plan narrative meets all the requirements under the RESTORE Act, 

including a description ofhow each activity is eligible for funding based on the geographic location of each activity and hew ea.ch 

activity auallfies for at least one of the eligible activities under the RESTORE Act. 

The Rockefeller Gulf Shoreline Stabilization Project is a coastal restoration project that will serve as a shoreline will assist in 

protecting an area experiencing alarming erosion rates. The project meets criteria established under RESTORE, namely-Restoration 

and protection of the natural resources, ecosystems, fisheries, marine and wildlife habitats, beaches and coastal wetlands of the 

Gulf Coast Region . 

4. Criteria the applicant will use to evaluate the success of the activities Included In the multiyear plan narrative in helping to restore 

and proteat the Gulf Coast Re~ion impacted bv the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. 

The Cameron Parish Police Jury will work with Rockefeller State Wildlife Refuge to monitor the area in which the shoreline 

stabilization project is proposed to be located. Significant reporting and monitoring have been accumulated in the area to this date 

as demonstration projects were constructed in the area in 2010. The selected construction method was determined by the 

successes ofthe demonstration projects. The Parish will evaluate the success of the project by coordinating with State and Federal 

agencies to annually conduct surveys to determine accretion of sediment and movement of the shoreline towards the structure as 

opposed to eroding at elevated rates. 

5. How the activities included In the multivear Plan narrative were prioritized and list the criteria used to establish the priorities. 

The supplemental funding required to construct the originally proposed Access to Monkey Island Project have not been allocated 

and are not anticipated to be allocated for some time. This infrastructure need was overshadowed by the high erosion rates 

currently observed in the proposed coastal restoration project area. 

Cameron Parish selected a project that was in need of supplemental funds for construction costs. This project had matching funds 

available outside of this proposed allocation. The Rockefeller project was included in the 2012 State Master Plan, Cameron Parish 

Master Plan for Coastal Restoration & Protection, and the Tentatively Selected Plan/Final Accepted version ofthe United States 

Army Corps of Engineers' Southwest Coastal Study. 

6. Ifapplicable, describe the amount and current status of funding from other sources (e.g., other RESTORE Act contribution, other 

third party contribution) and provide a description of the specific portion of the project to be funded by the RESTORE Act Direct 

Component. 

The Cameron Parish Policy Jury anticipates utilizing its RESTORE Act funds on this project. The Louisiana Coastal Protection & 

Restoration Authority (CPRA) solicited application for funding through a Local Match Program for supplemental funds. The Cameron 

Parish Police Jury has pledged $1,387,170.79, $612,829.21 of its current available Direct Component funds towards construction of 

the project. CPRA is requesting $6,671,531 in Spill Impact Component funding to complete the funding needs of this project 

awarded to the Parish through the Local Match Program. These funds w ill go towards limited engineering and design related to the 

expanded project as well as construction of the project. 

Therefore, Cameron Parish anticipates the estimated total funding contributions for this project as follow: 

Total Estimated Project Cost $8,671,531.00 

CPRA Local Match Program $6,671,531.00 

RESTORE Direct Component $612,829.21 

Local Match (Parish Restore) $1,387,170.79
