Glcasieu Parish initial muhiyear plan includes o{rc rstoration proFct, Rockefeller Refuge Gutf Shoreline Statilization Pmiect (ME35) Phase 2 

Description:The Rockefeller Refuge Shoreline Stabilization Project (ME-35) is designed to mkigate the erosion at Rockefeller 

Wildlife Refuge gulf shoreline by installing rock breakwaters in open water near the shoreline. Calcasieu Parish intends to use 

52,116,894.@ of its available Oirect Component funds to complete approximately 0.3 miles of rock breakwater with a litht-weitht 

aggregate core which will help to protect this area that is experiencing alarming erosion rates. 

The Rockefeller Refuge Shoreline stabilization Project (ME-35) Phase 2 is a continuation ofthe Rockefeller Refuge Shoreline 

Stabilization Proiect included in Cameron Parish's Mu[tiyear Plan (amendment #1) and a continuation ofthe CWPPRA ME-18 

project. ME-18 is nearint the end of construction ofa portion ofthe overall project that starts at the mouth ofJoseph Harborand 

proceeds westward for approximately 3.85 miles. The Cameron Parish Polace Jury (CPPJ) is currently funding the Community 

Development Block Grant - Disaster Recovery Rockefeller Shoreline Protection (ME-37) project, which is expected to construct an 

additional 3,0O0 linear feet of breakwaters by the end of year 2020.The overall stabilization poect is intended to protect the 9.2 

mile ponion of the Refuge west of Joseph Harbor Bayou. 

The Rockefeller Refuge shoreline Stabilization Project that is included in Cameron Parish Amended Multiyear Plan will install an 

estimated 6,000 linear feet (1.14 miles) of rock breakwater with a light-weight aggregate core at Cameron Parish portion of the 

refu8e and will extend from the end of the ME-37 project westward for approximately 6,000 feet, to a point approximately 5.5 

miles west of Joseph Harbor. 

The Calcasieu Parish PoliceJurywill enter into a subrecipient agreement with the Cameron Parish Police Jury to complete the scope 

of work for the Rockefeller Refuge Shoreline Stabilization Project (ME-35) Phase 2.TheCalcasieu Parish PoliceJurywill oversee 

grants management of this proiect. The Cameron Parish Police Jury will be the subrecipient and will be responsible for final design, 

bidding, construction and operations and maintenance. This proiect will help prevent future wetland loss through the reduction of 

erosion to the Cameron Parish Shoreline. The Rockefeller Refuge is intheeastern portion of Cameron and western portion of 

Vermilion Parishes and is owned and maintained by the State of Louisiana Depanment of Wildlife and Fisheries. 

Need: The Rockefeller Gulf Shoreline Stabilization project is a coastal restoration project that will serve as a shoreline protection 

and will assist in protecting an area eriencin alarmingerosionrates.5pecifically,theRockefellerWildlifeRefugeGulfShoreline 
retreats an average of approximately 70 feevyear with a subseq uent direct loss of emergent saline marsh. The originally deeded 

86,000 acres of Rockefeller Wildlife Refuge has been reduced to about 76,000 acres by coastal erosion. 

Purpose: The primary eligible activity ofthe project is to restore and protect the natural resources, ecosystems, fisheries, marine 

and wildlife habitats, and coastal wetlands ofthe Gulfcoast region. The proposed pro.ject would help mitigate erosion while also 

promoting natural vegetative colonization ofthe overwash material. The overall project is intended to protect the 9.2 mile portion 

of the Refuge west of Joseph Harbor Bayou. 

Obiectives: This specific project will be a continuation of the shoreline protection effort authorized by cwppRA's ME-18 project and 

Cameron Parish's ME-37 proiest for an estimated 6,000 linear feet (1.14 miles) of breakwater vrith a light-weight aggregate core 

included in cameron Parish's muhiyear plan. calcasieu parish intends to use its available d irect component fu nds to install an 

additional 0.3 miles of rock breakwaters with a light-weight aggretate core, starting at the westemmost end ofthe ME-37 

Rockefeller Refuge Gutf Shoreline Stabilization Proiect and extending to the west. 

Milestones: The Calcasieu Parish Police Jury will enter into a subrecipient agreement with the Cameron Parish police Jury, perform 

grant oversight and reporting on project process; and grant closeout. 

Location: Cameron Parish Gutf of Mexico Shoreline. Starting at the westernmost end ofthe ME-37 Rockefeller Refuge Gutf 

Shoreline Stabilization Project to the west. see attached map.

includint a description of how each actMty is eligible for funding based on the teogrdphic location of each activity and how each 

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

The project is located within the coastal zone of Cameron parish. The activities for this project meet the eligible activity of 

34.201(a) restoration and protection of the natural resources, ecosystems, fisheries, marine and wildlife habitats, beaches, and 

coastal wetlands of the Gulf Coastal region, because it will serve as a shoreline and will assist in protecting an area exp€riencing 

alarming erosion rates. Specifically, the Project is designed to reduce shoreline retreat alongthis critical stretch ofgulfshoreline 

thus protesting the inland marshes, ridges and infrastructure, as well as promoting shallowing, settling out and natural vegetative 

colonization ofthe overwash material landward ofthe proposed breakwater. This project was included in Louisiana's 2017 

Comprehensive Master Plan for a Sustainable Coast. 

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

and the Gulf Coast the Horizon oil 

Cameron Parish's draft application includes the following as the method of evaluating the success of the project: The Parish will 

coordinate with State and Federal agencies to conduct annual surveys that will determine the accretion of sediment and movement 

of the shoreline towards the structure and the reduction of erosion rates. Calcasieu Parish will coordinate such efforts with the 

Cameron Parish Police Jury. 

The success of the Rockefeller Shoreline Protection Extension Project (ME-35) phase 2 will be measured by surveying land gain. The 

shoreline will be surveyed, measured, and photographed for documentation of success in compliance with the project 

specifications. This is routine for ecological projects of this nature in this environment. There are other examples in the near vicinity 

of this p for easy verification of project success. 

5. How the activities included in the narrative were and list the criteria used to establish the 
The multiyear plan activities were prioritized by Calcasieu Parish through a subjective Project Prioritization Matrix in the parish's 

coastal master plan. Seven (7) criteria were established to evaluate projects based on: 

1. AliSnment with the Parish's Coastal priorities 

2. Consistent with Louisiana's Comprehensive Master plan for a Sustainable Coast (2017) 

4. Leverage Potential; Can this pro.iect benefit others in the area 

5. Ease of Obtaining Landrithts 

6. lncrease Environmental or Ecological Function 

7. Sustainable Land Use and Reduction of loss or lmpact of Natural Habitat 

Through this process and based on the Parish's Coastal Planning and zoning staff, the parish evaluated and selected this project as 

the number one ority for funding and implementation 

6. lf applicable, describe the amount and current status of fundint from other sources (e.t., other RESTORE Act contribution, other 

third party contribution) and provide a description ofthe sp€cific portion of the proiect to be tunded by the RESTORE Act Direct 

The Calcasieu Parish Police Jury plans to obtain S2,116,894.60 for RESTORE Direct Component funding from Treasury, then enter
