of each activity.

 Activity Description: North Lake Boudreaux Forced Drainage/Flood Risk Reduction Project

 This project is a segment of the Parish’s overall redundant hurricane/flood risk reduction levee system. For years, 

Terrebonne Parish, in conjunction with the Terrebonne Levee and Conservation District, has worked diligently to complete 

a 90+ mile hurricane and flood protection levee system, known as Morganza to the Gulf (MTG). Just a few reaches of this 

system remain to be constructed. This project, the North Lake Boudreaux Forced Drainage/Flood Risk Reduction project is 

part of the parish’s redundant hurricane/storm/flood protection system. It should be noted that, although all reaches of 

MTG have been built to the standards required by the Corps of Engineers and the Parish has received $30 million in federal 

CDBG funds (through the State of Louisiana) to aid in the construction of the system, most of the funding for this project 

has been provided through the generosity of the taxpayers of Terrebonne Parish. This project will be described below in 

terms of the requirements of Paragraph 34.303 (a) of the RESTORE Act.

 The North Lake Boudreaux Forced Drainage/Flood Risk Reduction Project is located in Section 11, T18S-R17E of 

Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana, approximately 2 miles south of the community of Boudreaux, LA on riparian land just to the 

east of LA Hwy 57 and northwest of Lake Boudreaux. The project’s Point of Beginning is 90° 41’ 28.92” W with Point of 

Ending at 29° 29’ 04.59” W. This project represents critical coastal flood protection and related infrastructure designed to 

provide the affected coastal community with redundant flood protection and close a gap in the system. Closure of this gap 

will afford a much higher level of flood protection redundancy. The proposed project will consist of approximately 8,300 

linear feet of earthen levee designed to attain (after settlement) a height of eight (8) feet and a pump station. The 

proposed alignment, as well as additional information on this project, is contained in the final submittal which is uploaded 

to the Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Government website (www.tpcg.org). 

Need for the Project: North Lake Boudreaux Forced Drainage/Flood Risk Reduction Project

 For at least forty-five years Terrebonne Parish has been in the business of building flood protection levees and 

infrastructure for its citizens. With its position on the Gulf of Mexico, Terrebonne is susceptible to tidal flooding from 

storm surge caused by hurricanes and other storms and events. Such flooding events are common and over the decades 
have not been infrequent. Terrebonne Parish, despite the network of forced drainage levees and systems around the 

parish needed a much larger layer of storm surge/flood protection. With the creation of the Terrebonne Levee & 

Conservation District, a consolidation of the two existing levee districts in the parish at the time, attention was given to the 

construction of a large hurricane protection levee system that would encompass much of the parish and represent a layer 

of storm surge protection heretofore unknown in the parish. The Morganza to the Gulf (MTG) levee system was begun in 

March 2006. Such a system would be complemented by and work in conjunction with the parish’s forced drainage/flood 

risk reduction levees affording the people of the parish a higher level of storm surge/flood protection and greater 

resiliency. 

 This forced drainage/flood risk reduction project is needed to close a gap in the second level of storm surge/flood 

protection. While it is designed primarily to benefit a particular community in Upper Grand Caillou, it actually benefits the 

parish at large. It does this by closing a gap in the system which, if left open, could cause additional flooding from storm 

events in other parts of the parish.

Purpose: North Lake Boudreaux Forced Drainage/Flood Risk Reduction Project

 The North Lake Boudreaux Forced Drainage/Flood Risk Reduction Project will serve to address several critical 

purposes in the Terrebonne Basin, with its primary purpose being redundant flood protection from storm surge and storm 

events, the benefits of which are to accrue to a coastal parish in the Gulf Coast Region. Another purpose is the protection 

of life and property which will afford this community and the parish a higher level of resiliency. A third purpose is to close 

a critical gap in the forced drainage/flood risk reduction system. Finally, this project will lower the risk to life and property 

associated with sea level rise, subsidence, and tropical events that may impact this area from time to time and, in general, 

improve the long-term economic health of the parish and the region.

Objectives: North Lake Boudreaux Forced Drainage/Flood Risk Reduction Project

 Construction and operation/maintenance of the proposed North Lake Boudreaux Forced Drainage/Flood Risk 

Reduction Project infrastructure (levee and pump station) will be critical to the overall success of the project. To that end, 

the project will aim to maximize benefits to life and property while also providing compensatory mitigation necessary to 

offset the loss of wetlands caused by location of the proposed levee alignment. The construction of storm protection 

infrastructure contributes to the overall sustainability and resiliency of the parish and is an eligible activity [§34.201 (g)] of 

the RESTORE Act. The objectives of the project are the following: Reduce storm surge flood risk to this area of the parish by 

constructing approximately 8,300 feet of earthen levee to a height of eight feet (after settlement) along with a pump 

station; Provide a vital link in the parish’s overall flood risk reduction system, thus reducing vulnerability to life and 

property from storm flooding; Increase resiliency and sustainability in the parish; and Provide compensatory mitigation for 

loss of wetlands in levee footprint.

Milestones: North Lake Boudreaux Forced Drainage/Flood Risk Reduction Project

 The general milestones for the North Lake Boudreaux Forced Drainage/Flood Risk Reduction Project will be the 

completion of engineering and design, and permitting by the end of the third quarter of 2018. The mitigation component 

will be handled and approved soon after through the purchase of approved mitigation credits. Advertising/solicitation,

award of contract and start of construction should be completed or underway by the end of the fourth quarter of 2018. 

Construction is expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter of 2020. 

Location: North Lake Boudreaux Forced Drainage/Flood Risk Reduction Project

The North Lake Boudreaux Forced Drainage/Flood Risk Reduction project is situated on riparian land located east 

of Bayou Grand Caillou, behind properties fronting on LA Hwy 57 in Section 11, T18S-R17E in Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana. 

The project site is approximately 2 miles south of the community of Boudreaux, LA and just to the northwest of Lake 

Boudreaux. The project location is shown as #1 on the map included with this narrative.

Activity Description: Fletcher Technical Community College Water Management/Coastal Restoration Curriculum/Coastal 

Restoration and Protection Institute (Water Management Work Force Development)

 In order to meet the workforce development needs of Terrebonne Parish and the immediate region as it works to 

restore its wetlands and coastline, Fletcher Technical Community College (FTCC) will develop a workforce training program 
and that will help to meet these vital objectives. It is anticipated that this workforce development program will serve as 

the foundation for the development of a Coastal Restoration and Protection Institute in Terrebonne Parish at Fletcher 

Technical Community College.

 The workforce development curriculum planned by FTCC will include a series of non-credit training courses to be 

offered to individuals seeking employment or to better prepare them for employment in the broad area of water 

management as it relates to coastal restoration and protection. The initial training courses will be provided in a series of 

course topics that will be offered in forty (40) hours of instruction. This program is to be designed for individuals with 

skilled trades who are seeking to broaden their employability through additional training in areas specifically related to 

coastal restoration and protection in Terrebonne Parish and the immediate region.

 In addition, this training program will be designed to encompass a total of ten (10) subjects which will include: 

Regulations and permitting; Safety; Pipelines; Endangered species; Vegetation and soil types; Dredging; Trenching; Soft 

skills/job readiness; Introduction to Coastal Restoration and Protection; and Equipment for coastal projects. Those 

successfully completing the curriculum will be awarded a certificate of completion from FTCC.

Need for the Project: Water Management Work Force Development

 According to data from Greater New Orleans Incorporated (GNO Inc.), a regional non-profit economic development 

alliance serving southeast Louisiana, there is an increasing demand for a trained workforce in the areas of water 

management, coastal restoration, and coastal preservation/protection. Within the broader “Super Region” as defined by

GNO Inc., the total number of jobs related to these fields is expected to top 30,000. In addition, projects funded under the

RESTORE Act alone are expected to create 13,500 new jobs in Terrebonne and the immediate region, a significant increase. 

GNO Inc. provides data that illustrate the need for workforce training in these areas of demand: 52% of the jobs will be 

middle skilled positions that require more than a high school diploma but less than a Bachelor’s degree; approximately 1 in 

5 (20%) of current water management workers are aged 55 or older; of the 13,500 new jobs, nearly 6,600 (49%) of these 

positions will be middle skilled openings.

Purpose: Water Management Work Force Development

 The purpose of the Coastal Restoration and Protection Institute (The Institute) at Fletcher Technical Community 

College is to provide workforce development for the Bayou Region (Terrebonne, Lafourche, St. Mary and Assumption 

Parishes) that prepares workers for jobs in the broad area of water management which includes coastal restoration and 

preservation. The program is structured to offer credentials that are both industry and workforce based. These levels of 

training and preparation provide individuals with a well-designed and seamless pathway to the workforce. 

 The Institute will launch with a series of courses designed to adapt an individual’s training in a skilled craft to the 

work of coastal restoration and preservation projects. This program is designed so that individuals can take the entire 

course package for a solid foundation leading to employment in this industry. Also, the program includes Fletcher’s

existing 3D Simulator in its Virtual Research Lab. This tool can help students to develop, design, and create 3D animations 

and simulations to accelerate understanding and teaching of fluid behavior, assist in problem-solving via practical 

applications of 3D technologies, and illustrate scenarios prior to construction of marine or coastal structures sometimes 

used in coastal restoration and preservation.

 Although this workforce development program component of the Terrebonne Parish MYIP will be open to all 

students without discrimination who wish to complete the training, in keeping with its admission policies, FTCC will reach 

out to underrepresented groups such as veterans, underemployed workers, unemployed individuals, displaced workers, 

minority populations, and seasonal workers to generate interest in the program and attract students from these 

demographics. The goal is to provide short-term training to all students who are interested in gaining skills in a high 

demand, high wage field, skills that will allow individuals and families to prosper in the new economy which holds a great 

deal of promise for regional residents. 

Objectives: Water Management Work Force Development

 The objectives of the workforce development program and training are to increase the number of individuals 

within Terrebonne Parish and the immediate region who are effectively trained for the jobs created by the implementation 

of RESTORE-funded projects as well as jobs in the broad area of water management. The Institute of FTCC has a core goal 

of training the citizens of the Bayou Region in order to provide a local and regional workforce that is intimately familiar 
with the local landscape and one that can be easily hired by local firms engaged in coastal restoration and preservation 

work.

The FTCC Institute's proposed workforce development program will train fifty (50) individuals annually with 

twenty-five (25) participants in each training course. The program entails the offering of a training course each fall and 

spring annually for three (3) years. The result, at the end of this 3-year period, will be 150 individuals trained to fill middle 

skilled positions on water management projects throughout the parish and region.

Milestones: Water Management Work Force Development 

 Milestones for the Water Management Workforce Development Project include the successful completion of 

training twice a year for a period of three years. This will include the successful completion of the workforce training by 50 

students per year for a total of 150 individuals over the three-year run of the program. These individuals will be trained for 

the middle-skilled jobs that are expected to be produced in the local and regional economy in the broad field of water 

management and coastal restoration and preservation.

Location: Water Management Work Force Development

 Project activities associated with the water management workforce development program, particularly classroom 

instructional activities, will take place on the campus of Fletcher Technical Community College, located at 1407 Hwy 311, 

Schriever, Louisiana 70395. This campus is located in Terrebonne Parish (see #2 on the map at the end of this narrative) 

but is readily accessible from all parts of the immediate region. 

 

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).

Availability of Plan for Public Participation and Comment.

 This draft Terrebonne Parish Multiyear Implementation Plan, was made available to the public in a number of 

locations around the parish for a period of 45 calendar days beginning on August 1, 2017 and running through September 

14, 2017. Public Notice was placed in the local newspaper of record (the Courier) advertising the availability of the plan 

document at various locations in the Parish. The public notice in the newspaper ran for five consecutive days, beginning 

July 31, 2017 through August 4, 2017. Certification of Publication is contained in Appendix B of the Detailed Narrative. The

locations where the draft MYIP was available for public review included the Nicholls State University Library, the Fletcher 

Technical Community College Library, the Terrebonne Parish Public Library and each of its eight (8) branches (North 

Terrebonne, Bourg, Chauvin, Dularge, East Houma, Gibson, Dulac, and Montegut), the Terrebonne Parish Council Office 

(6th Floor, Government Tower Building) and the TPCG Office of Coastal Restoration and Preservation (7th Floor, 

Government Tower Building). In addition, the draft MYIP was made available to the public at the local headquarters of the 

United Houma Nation and the Biloxi-Chitimatcha-Choctaw Tribe, and various business-oriented and non-profit 

organizations around the Parish including the Houma-Terrebonne Chamber of Commerce, the South Central Industrial 

Association, the Morganza Action Coalition, Restore or Retreat, the South Louisiana Wetlands Discovery Center, and the 

South Central Planning & Development Commission. Notice was also placed on official governmental bulletin boards near 
the Terrebonne Parish Council Meeting Room and on the Terrebonne Parish Consolidated Government website 

(www.tpcg.org/myip). Through these notices, the public was informed that comments on the Parish’s Multiyear 

Implementation Plan would be accepted from August 1, 2017 through September 14, 2017, and could be submitted via 

email to mblack@tpcg.org or via regular mail to: TPCG-Coastal Restoration & Preservation, Attn: Mart Black, P.O. Box 

2768, Houma, LA 70361. Although no public comments were received during the comment period, it was clearly stated 

that all meaningful comments received during the public comment period as well as those voiced or submitted in writing at 

the public meetings held to consider resolutions of approval of the MYIP would be carefully considered and included in an 

appendix with the final submittal to Treasury. Prior to approving the MYIP by resolution at its September 21, 2017 regular 

meeting, the Houma-Terrebonne Regional Planning Commission (H-TRPC) afforded the public an opportunity to comment 

on the plan. The public offered no comments at this meeting and the H-TRPC adopted a resolution at this meeting 

approving and adopting the MYIP and urging the Terrebonne Parish Council to do the same. The Terrebonne Parish 

Council held its Regular Meeting on September 27, 2017, and provided the public another opportunity to comment on the 

plan before considering and adopting a Resolution to approve the MYIP. No public comments were received. The agendas 

and meeting dates of both the Houma-Terrebonne Regional Planning Commission and the Terrebonne Parish Council were 

published in advance of both meetings and made available to the public, as per state law. 

 As eligible parish projects in the future are selected for and assigned funding under the Parish’s RESTORE Act Direct 

Component, this Multiyear Implementation Plan will be amended to add these projects. Such amendments will undergo 

the same procedure for public comment and official approval as detailed above. 

 

3. How each activity included in the applicant's multiyear plan matrix 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.

 The projects described herein and included in Terrebonne Parish's Multiyear Implementation Plan for the use of its 

RESTORE funds, are designed to generate benefits that will accrue to a Gulf of Mexico coastal parish impacted by the 

BP/Deep Water Horizon Oil Spill. Not only is Terrebonne Parish located in the Louisiana Coastal Zone, but it is situated on 

the Gulf of Mexico as a coastal parish. This makes projects which are otherwise eligible for funding under the RESTORE 

Act, also eligible by virtue of their geographic location. The North Lake Boudreaux Forced Drainage/Flood Risk Reduction

project is an eligible activity since it is designed to provide coastal flood protection and related infrastructure through the 

construction of approximately 8,300 feet of earthen levee and a pump station. 

 The Fletcher Technical Community College Water Management/Coastal Restoration Curriculum/Coastal Restoration 

and Protection Institute program is an eligible activity under the RESTORE Act since it is designed to provide workforce 

development to individuals completing the training program whose purpose is to impart the specific skills needed for 

employment in the area of coastal restoration and protection.

 

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

protect the Gulf Coast Region impacted by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
North Lake Boudreaux Forced Drainage/Flood Risk Reduction Project: 

 This project is intended to protect life and property from storm surge and storm-related flooding events. It also 

closes a critical gap in the parish's redundant flood protection system. The protection offered by the proposed levee 

alignment and pump station will result in improved sustainability and resiliency under project conditions for the immediate 

area as well as other areas of the parish. In order to effectively present a solution for the storm surge and flooding 

problems discussed herein, the project should meet these requirements: 1) fulfill the purpose for which it is to be 

designed; 2) address the storm surge and flooding problems identified; 3) meet the objectives described elsewhere in this 

MYIP; 4) minimize the need for compensatory mitigation to the maximum extent practicable; and 5) from an evaluation 

standpoint, the project should be complete, effective, efficient and acceptable. This project succeeds in accomplishing all 

of these requirements. The project also meets the four required evaluation criteria: 1) acceptability; 2) completeness; 3) 

efficiency, and 4) effectiveness. The North Lake Boudreaux Forced Drainage/Flood Risk Reduction project will address the 

objectives established for the project, and through operation and maintenance performed by the Terrebonne Parish 

Consolidated Government, will be capable of consistently and reliably providing the level of flood protection that will aid 

efforts to improve the sustainability and resiliency of the parish. The other stated criteria are also fulfilled by the 

construction of this project. These are:

 a. Ensuring that the total quantitative and qualitative benefits accruing to sustainability and resiliency are equal to or 

exceed the total short-term impacts associated with construction of the project. Further, the short-term impacts from 

construction will be offset through compensatory mitigation as necessary and as required by the Louisiana Department of 

Natural Resources and/or the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

 b. Exhibiting the capability of being physically implemented with ample consideration given to the safety, health, and 

social wellbeing of the affected communities. The safety, health and social wellbeing of the affected communities will be 

improved as a result of this project.

 c. Ensuring that the historical, archeological, and other cultural resources are preserved. All contracts associate with 

this project will contain provisions that will ensure that the project area is free from cultural and historic remains. Clauses 

in each contract will provide guidance to contractors on the appropriate actions to be taken should cultural and historic 

remains be uncovered at any stage of the project.

 d. Ensuring that the project is effective. This project will make a significant contribution to addressing specific storm 

surge and flood risk reduction issues and problems in the parish.

 e. Ensuring the overall efficiency of the project. Efficiency is the measure of this project that renders it the most 

cost-effective means of alleviating the identified problems while realizing the objectives of the project.

Regarding the four evaluation criteria, the project exhibits the following:

 1) Acceptability: the project is acceptable to both Federal and non-Federal entities and the public, and is compliant 

with existing laws, regulations, and public policies; 

 2) Completeness: the project ensures that the total quantitative and non-quantitative beneficial ecological effects 

are equal to or exceed the total short-term effects associated with construction, that is, the short-term construction 

impacts will be offset by compensatory mitigation for impacts to natural resources. An additional measure of 

completeness is that the project is capable of being physically implemented and considerate of the safety, health, and 

social well-being of the affected communities. Actually, the project will improve the safety, health and social well-being of 

the affected communities by greatly reducing the risk associated with flooding from storm surge and other storm events, 

thereby improving the resiliency of the affected community. Thirdly, the project ensures the preservation of historical, 

archaeological, and cultural resources of the area by creating awareness and describing procedures to be followed in each 

contract should such cultural resources be encountered during construction.

 3) Efficiency: the project provides the most cost-effective means of achieving its flood risk reduction objectives while 

addressing the problems identified; and,
 4) Effectiveness: the project will make a significant contribution to addressing specific flood risk reduction problems 

in Terrebonne Parish, providing improved protection to life and property and improving resiliency. Construction and 

maintenance of this project will be a major factor in evaluating its overall success. 

Fletcher Technical Community College Water Management/Coastal Restoration Curriculum/Coastal Restoration and 

Protection Institute (Water Management Workforce Development):

 The evaluation of the Water Management Workforce Development Program will be assessed through a number of 

measures specific to the program and presented to Terrebonne Parish on an annual basis. The assessment measures will 

include: number of students participating in each training session; the number of students who successfully complete the 

course; the number of students who do not successfully complete the course; and the number of students who become 

employed in the areas of water management and coastal restoration and preservation. Through an exit survey to the 

extent possible, Fletcher Technical Community College will attempt to learn the reason(s) students fail to complete the 

course of study and make adjustments to the training curriculum as necessary or appropriate. 

 

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

 With the initial availability of funds from the RESTORE Act for Terrebonne Parish, local officials (Parish President, 

Parish Manager, Coastal Restoration Director) began to discuss priorities for additional flood risk reduction projects which 

could meet immediate needs and be eligible for funding under RESTORE utilizing these and other available funding 

sources. Flood risk reduction has long been a high priority for Terrebonne Parish. The immediate need in the parish was 

determined to be a levee and pump station project that would close a critical gap in the parish's overall redundant forced 

drainage/flood risk reduction system. Given the amount of money necessary to pay for this project and the availability of 

other funding sources (parish capital funds dedicated to this flood risk reduction project, the parish's currently available 

RESTORE Direct Component funds and a relatively small amount of funding from the state's RESTORE Spill Component 

Parish Matching Program), this critical project was given a high priority by parish government and deemed the best use its 

available RESTORE funds.

 Since unemployment had risen in Terrebonne Parish as a result of a sustained downturn in the oil and gas industry 

which accounts for a great deal of employment in the parish, officials looked for ways to provide employment 

opportunities in other industry sectors for parish residents. One particular area in ascendency at this time and in the 

future, but lacking trained workers, is the broad area of water management which includes coastal restoration. According 

to statistics prepared by GNO, Inc., a great number of skilled workers will be needed in this industry in Louisiana, not only

to secure the jobs that will be created as emphasis is placed on coastal restoration over the next several decades, but to 

replace retiring workers in this industry where 20% of current employees are 55 years and older. In addition, while the 

water management/coastal restoration field needs skilled workers, many of the skills possessed by currently unemployed 

workers are generally transferable with additional training. For this reason, the development of a workforce development 

program at Fletcher Technical Community College aimed at training all area residents including the unemployed, 

underemployed, veterans and underserved population groups in Terrebonne Parish and the immediate region in the skills 

necessary to secure high-paying jobs in water management/coastal restoration and protection, was given a high priority 

for the use of the parish's available RESTORE Act funding. 

 
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.

 In order to support the North Lake Boudreaux Forced Drainage/Flood Risk Reduction project, Terrebonne Parish is 

allocating $2,450,386.04 of its available RESTORE funds (Direct Component) to help pay for this project. The remainder of 

the funds needed to complete this project are budgeted in its 5-Year Capital Budget (Project 09-DRA-66 -- $5,553,000). 

However, for this project, the Parish had previously selected an engineering firm to handle the engineering and design 

work associated with it. The selected engineering firm is being paid with parish funds from this dedicated account. All of 

the remaining funds in this account, $4,658,752.00, are to be used in support of this flood risk reduction project. 

Additional funds needed to complete this project will be acquired through the Parish Matching Fund (Spill Component) 

offered through the State of Louisiana/Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority. Terrebonne Parish prepared and 

submitted an application to the State for $2,558,039.96 from the Parish Matching Fund before the August 2017 deadline. 

This application is under consideration at this time. In the event Terrebonne Parish is not awarded this grant, the North 

Lake Boudreaux Forced Drainage/Flood Risk Reduction project will be delayed until additional local funds can be budgeted 

and/or additional RESTORE Direct Component funds can be applied to support the completion of this project.

 Terrebonne Parish proposes to utilize $250,000.00 of its available RESTORE Act Direct Component funds to support 

the Fletcher Technical Community College Water Management/Coastal Restoration Curriculum/Coastal Restoration and 

Protection Institute program. These funds will be allocated for this program over three years as follows: $102,500.00 in 

the first year; $81,500.00 in the second year; and $66,000.00 in the third year of the program.
