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.

St. Martin Parish’s multiyear plan includes two projects which totals $665,000 in Restore Act Funding, using Direct 

Component contributions from the Restore Act. 

Project 1 is the Catahoula Park Landing & Dick Davis Campground Landing Floating Dock System ($400,000) 

Catahoula Park Landing & Dick Davis Campground Landing – Floating Docks (St. Martinville, LA and Breaux Bridge, 

LA) 

Description: The proposed project includes the design and construction of 2 floating dock systems in upper St. Martin Parish. 

The Catahoula Park Landing Dock will be located adjacent to an existing boat launch at Catahoula Park. The Catahoula Lake 

Landing Dock will be constructed on parish owned property adjacent to the Lake. The Dick Davis Campground Dock will be 

located adjacent to an existing boat launch at Dick Davis Campground. The Dick Davis Campground Dock will be constructed 

on privately owned property where St. Martin Parish has the sole use of Property as documented with the Clerk of Court 

Office. The floating dock will consist of GatorDock (or approved equal) 5’x30’ Aluminum Deck Gangway with hand rails as 

required, Slip resistant Aluminum Frame, Poly tub Floats, Internal Rollers for pile guide & 12" Cleats) supported by timber 

guard piles. 

Need: Floating docks are needed in St. Martin Parish to provide additional safe docking areas for recreational fisherman in the 

parish. These docks will improve access to the fisheries. 

Purpose: The purpose of this project is to increase safe access to the adjacent fisheries to promote tourism and recreational 

fishing in the parish. 

Objectives: The proposed infrastructure will 1) promote tourism in the region by providing areas for tourism and recreational

fishing, and (2) benefit the economy of the area. 

Project Milestones: 100% engineering and Design (March 2020); Begin Construction (April 2020); Complete Construction 

(March 2021) 

Additional Notes and Clarifications for the Dick Davis Campground Landing:

1. The RESTORE grant will be conditioned on the parish using the premises as a park for the estimated useful life of the 

floating dock.

2. The floating dock will be owned and maintained by the St. Martin Parish Government. 

3. St. Martin Parish agrees to provide the U.S. Department of Treasury with notice if the St. Martin Land Company (or its 

successors) ever determine to nullify the Parish’s rights to the premises within the estimated useful life of the project.

Project 2 is Bayou Benoit Dock Extension ($265,000) 

Description: The proposed project includes the design and construction of a dock extension which includes the addition of 

materials (import fill and limestone) to elevate the existing landing so it can be used during minor flooding events. Bayou 

Benoit Landing is located at 2981 Bayou Benoit Levee Road, St. Martinville, LA. The Bayou Benoit Site Improvements Project 

will be constructed on state owned property where St. Martin Parish has the sole use of the Property, as documented with St. 

Martin Parish Clerk of Court Office. 

Need: Currently, the dock is not usable during minor flooding events. Elevating the landing would provide access for the 

public including visitors during these events where currently none is available.

Purpose: The purpose of this project is to increase safe access to the adjacent fisheries to promote tourism and recreational 

fishing in the parish by providing access to the public during minor flood events where no access is available at this landing. 

Objectives: The proposed infrastructure will 1) promote tourism in the region by providing areas for tourism and recreational

fishing, and (2) benefit the economy of the area. 

 

Project Milestones: 100% engineering and Design (April 2020); Begin Construction (June 2020); Complete Construction 

(March 2021) 

Additional Notes and Clarifications for the Bayou Benoit Dock Extension:

1. St. Martin Parish currently uses the Bayou Benoit Dock as a public boat landing and parking lot for commercial and 

recreational fisherman.

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 St. Martin Parish Multi-Year Implementation Plan by the US Department of Treasury, the 

parish government published public notices in the parish’s official journal, Teche Today, on July 3rd, July 10th, and July 17th (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 

(https://www.stmartinparish.net/restore-act-multiyear-implementation-plan) 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 multi year implementation plan was approved by parish leadership in a letter from Parish 

President Chester Cedars to the Office of Gulf Coast Restoration dated August 6, 2019. 

According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no persons are required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a

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.

Catahoula Park Landing & Dick Davis Campground Landing – Floating Docks (St. Martinville, LA and Breaux Bridge, 

LA) 

This project will take place within St. Martin Parish and within the Gulf Coast Region as defined by the RESTORE Act. The 

project is eligible for RESTORE act funds as it will (1) benefit the economy of the area and (2) Promote tourism to the region by 

promoting recreational fishing. 

Bayou Benoit Dock Extension 

This project will take place within St. Martin Parish and within the Gulf Coast Region as defined by the RESTORE Act. The 

project is eligible for RESTORE act funds as it will (1) benefit the economy of the area and (2) Promote tourism to the region by 

promoting recreational fishing. 

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. 

Catahoula Park Landing & Dick Davis Campground Landing – Floating Docks (St. Martinville, LA and Breaux Bridge, 

LA) 

Success will be determined by the timely design and construction of the fishing docks. Once constructed, success will be 

determined by the utilization of the floating docks by recreational fisherman.

Bayou Benoit Dock Extension 

Success will be determined by the timely design and construction of the fishing docks. Once constructed, success will be 

determined by the dock’s usage during minor flooding events that would have closed the dock prior to the improvements. 

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

Fishing dock improvements were prioritized in the initial Multi-year plan to improve access to the fisheries to St. Martin Parish 

residents and as well as tourist. Additional access and utilization of the parish’s fisheries will lead to a better understanding of 

the benefits of the existing, ecological resources, which will lead the way for larger, more costly infrastructure projects in the 

future. 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.
