Jefferson Parish CIAP Plan Implementation Program A. Jefferson Parish goals and objectives under the CIAP Jefferson Parish identified priority physical features to target for protection and restoration through the CIAP. These areas include barrier islands, degraded natural ridges, and marshes in close proximity to existing infrastructure, and restoration features to maintain and restore the Barataria Basin Land Bridge. The parish is specifically emphasizing the beneficial use of dredge material to restore these wetlands. B. How Jefferson Parish will manage, implement, and monitor the CIAP The responsibilities for the CIAP will be coordinated through the Jefferson Parish Department of Environmental Affairs and will be supported by different departments of Jefferson Parish government, including Finance, Engineering, and Public Works. Monitoring and reporting for the CIAP will be coordinated through the Director of the Department of Environmental Affairs, who is listed as the CIAP point of contact for Jefferson Parish. In addition, Jefferson Parish has engineering/environmental consultants under contract, selected in accordance with Federal, State, and local laws for selection of professional services. These consultants will assist with coastal planning, including CIAP project implementation. Since one of the Jefferson Parish CIAP projects is being implemented in conjunction with LDNR, the Jefferson Parish point of contact, or his agent, will be a member of the project design team and will participate in the project kickoff meeting, site visit, monthly conference calls, the preliminary design conference, the final design conference. In addition, as a project partner, the Jefferson Parish CIAP point of contact will confer with LDNR on a regular basis to ensure that the Jefferson Parish goals and objectives are being met. Jefferson Parish and the State of Louisiana will enter into a cooperative agreement which will set forth the terms of work on the CIAP project, identify the deliverables anticipated for the project and the time frame for implementation of the project. The activities and timeline described in the agreement will be used to measure the progress of the project over time. Implementation of individual CIAP projects will follow the priority schedule reflected in the funding for individual projects in the program allocation budget sheets for Jefferson Parish listed in Appendix D of this plan. I n general, Jefferson Parish is initiating engineering and design on all of their CIAP projects concurrently to maximize the opportunity for all the projects to be constructed in the shortest time possible. A detailed implementation schedule for the Jefferson Parish CIAP projects will be submitted in conjunction with the grants for each project and will be updated once the grants have been executed and project work initiated. 42
The CIAP point of contact for Jefferson Parish, or his agent, will be responsible for conducting periodic site visits to all projects, and will monitor progress through annual reports, financial reports and will be responsible for the performance of other monitoring analysis. The CIAP point of contact for Jefferson Parish, in collaboration with the LDNR CIAP Program Manager, will conduct an annual review of CIAP funding and project implementation priorities and will adjust the implementation schedule and revise the CIAP Plan to best achieve Jefferson Parish CIAP program goals and objectives. The CIAP Program Managers for Jefferson Parish and the State of Louisiana will continue to discuss program details and to collaborate on the oversight of the program at regular intervals. The Program Manager from LDNR will communicate at regular intervals with Jefferson Parish regarding their CIAP projects and will facilitate and oversee implementation of the comprehensive State and parish program. C. The Jefferson Parish public participation process including: the dates and periodicals in which notices are placed; the locations, dates, and times of meetings and the number of attendees; and a summary of public comments on the Draft Plan The public has participated in the development of the Jefferson Parish CIAP plan during a series of open public meetings held by LDNR and as detailed in the state’s CIAP plan and summarized below: LDNR hosted five public meetings to advise the public of the process that the State used to formulate the plan required by the CIAP, one of which was held in Jefferson Parish on February 16, 2006, 6:30–8:00 p.m., at the Jefferson Parish Regional Library, 4747 West Napoleon Avenue, Room A, Metairie. In addition to the public notices issued by LDNR, Jefferson Parish sent letters and called members of the Jefferson Parish Coastal Stakeholders Citizen Group to advise them of the local meeting, and held a public workshop with the stakeholders group on March 31, 2006, to get input into project development and prioritization. The parish has maintained a database of coastal stakeholders that has grown over the years as interest in and awareness of coastal restoration increased. That list consists of present and past members of the Jefferson Parish Marine Fisheries Advisory Board, civic and environmental group members and leaders, and recreational and commercial fishermen, landowners, and residents of outlying coastal communities, including the towns of Jean Lafitte and Grand Isle. Although there has been no formal establishment of a Coastal Advisory Committee, this diverse group of stakeholders constitutes the Jefferson Parish Coastal Stakeholders Citizen Group, which serves as an adjunct to the parish’s Coastal Zone Management (CZM) program. In order to reach consensus on projects that cross parish lines and have regional benefits, Jefferson Parish coordinated with members of the Parishes Against Coastal Erosion (PAC E) organization. PAC E was formed in 2003 to unite and organize local governments in coastal parishes to assist their individual efforts to raise the important issues of the loss of coastal marshes to the policy makers at the 43
