NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION:

1. A description of each activity, including the need, purpose, objective(s), milestones and location. Include map showing the location of

each activity. 

Project 1: Deblanc & Segura Branch Canal Cleaning 

Description: The proposed project includes clearing and grubbing along a total of 30,500 LF of the 

Deblanc and Segura Branch Canals. Grubbing and Clearing activities will include the removal and 

clearing of Types I, II, and III vegetative material as well as any debris located within the construction 

servitude. Type I Vegetative material consist of highly grassed and overgrown brush of approximately 1⁄4

inch in diameter. Type II Vegetative Material consist of brush and trees of approximately 6 inches in 

diameter. Type III Vegetative Material consist of trees and vegetation that is larger than 6 inches in

diameter. It is estimated that approximately 2,972 LF of Type I, 18,283 LF of Type II, and 9,239 LF of

Type III material will be removed from both banks through the use of a long reach excavator. Removal of 

this vegetative material may cause the bank of the canal to become unstable, however, the contractor will 

repair the bank back to a 3:1 slope after clearing and grubbing activities. Any debris that is collected from 

the canal will be collected and burned within the designated burn pits and then buried. Any material that 

cannot be burned will be hauled offsite and disposed of in accordance with local state, and federal laws. 

Need: This project is needed to improve conveyance capabilities of the canal as well as provide Iberia 

Parish personnel with canal access to allow emergency maintenance activities in the event of future 

canal blockages. Without this project, trees and debris will continue to grow further obstructing 

maintenance personal from being able to access the canals. 

Purpose: The purpose of this project is to clear the servitudes and banks along the canal to improve 

access. Better access will allow the parish to further protect the population from flooding events due to 

obstructions in the canals. 

Objectives: The objective of this projects is to improve coastal flooding issues in Iberia Parish by 

clearing and grubbing along a total of 30,500 LF of the Deblanc and Segura Branch Canals to ensure 

proper conveyance of the drainage canals. 

Project Milestones: Construction documents finalized and plans advertised for public bids; Award 

Construction contract and construction commencement; Complete Construction

Project 2: Delahoussaye Canal Cleaning 

Description: The proposed project includes clearing and grubbing along a total of 48,500 LF of the 

Delahoussaye Canal. Grubbing and Clearing activities will include the removal and clearing of Types I, II, 

and III vegetative material as well as any debris located within the construction servitude. Type I 

Vegetative consist of highly grassed and overgrown brush of approximately 1⁄4 inch in diameter. Type II 

Vegetative Material consist of brush and trees of approximately 6 inches in diameter. Type III Vegetative 

Material consist of trees and vegetation that is larger than 6 inches in diameter. It is estimated that 

approximately 11,672 LF of Type I, 9,476LF of Type II, and 27,321 LF of Type III material will be 

removed from both banks through the use of a long reach excavator. Removal of this vegetative material

may cause the bank of the canal to become unstable, however, the contractor will repair the bank back to 

a 3:1 slope after clearing and grubbing activities. Any debris that is collected from the canal will be 

gathered, burned within designated burn pits, and buried. Any material that cannot be burned will be 

hauled offsite and disposed of in accordance with local, state, and federal laws. 

Need: This project is needed to improve conveyance capabilities of the canal as well as provide Iberia 
Parish personnel with canal access to allow emergency maintenance activities in the event of future 

canal blockages. Without this project, trees and debris will continue to grow further obstructing

2. How the applicant made the multiyear 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 multiyear plan available to the public for at least 45 days. In addition, describe 

how each activity in the multiyear plan was approved after consideration of all meaningful 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). 
After the preliminary review of the Iberia Parish Multi-Year Implementation Plan by the US Department of 

Treasury, the parish government published public notices in the parish’s official journal, The Daily Iberian, 

on March 10th, March 17th, and March 24th (3 consecutive weeks), announcing the public comment 

period of the multi-year implementation plan and providing instructions for comment submittal through 

email, hand written mail, or in-person discussion. The plan was posted on the parish website 

(http://iberiaparishgovernment.com/) and made available for public review and comment for 45 days. There 

were no comments received from the public on the multi-year plan during the comment period. After the 

public comment period, the multiyear implementation plan was approved by parish leadership in a letter

from Parish President Larry Richard to the Office of Gulf Coast Restoration dated May 28, 2020.

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

description of how each activity is eligible for funding based on the geographic location of each activity and how each activity qualifies 

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

Deblanc & Segura Branch Canal Cleaning and Delahoussaye Canal Cleaning

Deblanc & Segura Branch Canal Cleaning and Delahoussaye Canal Cleaning Projects - These activities 

will take place within Iberia Parish and within the Gulf Coast region as defined by the RESTORE Act. 

These activities are eligible for RESTORE Act funds under the coastal flood protection and related 

infrastructure activity because the debris removals will aid in coastal flood protection within the area. They are 

consistent with the objectives and principles of the 2017 State of Louisiana Master Plan as they will 

promote a sustainable coastal ecosystem by allowing the drainage canals to continue to flow at their 

natural direction and capacities.

4. Criteria the applicant will use to measure the success of the activities included in the multiyear plan narrative in helping to restore and

protect the Gulf Coast Region impacted by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. 

Deblanc & Segura Branch Canal Cleaning and Delahoussaye Canal Cleaning 

Iberia Parish Government will evaluate success based on the timely completion of construction on 

the canal cleanings as well as the documentation of the quantities of debris and vegetation 

removed. These improvements should be noticed by the additional access to the canals that will 

be created as result of the project.

5. How the activities included in the multiyear plan narrative were prioritized and list the criteria used to establish the priorities.

Canal Clearing projects were made a priority by the Iberia Parish Government as a result of the 2016 

flood event that impacted the area. Potential Canal Clearing projects were evaluated by the Parish’s 

engineering consultant and prioritized in the plan by evaluating the potential positive impacts, the urgent 

need of the project, and the constructability of the project. The projects listed in this plan were selected 

based on this criteria. As additional RESTORE Act funds become available, additional projects will be

added to the plan. 
6. If applicable, 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.
