CENTRAL WETLANDS UNIT HYDROLOGIC IMPACT REPORT

ST. BERNARD PARISH, LOUISIANA

​

Gaea Consultants prepared a hydrologic impact report for the restoration of the Central Wetlands Unit, an area that contains approximately 22,000 acres of wetlands in St. Bernard Parish.  The purpose of this report was to evaluate the impact of potential wetland assimilation and restoration activities on operations in the Lake Borgne Basin Levee District.  We investigated existing conditions, together with proposed fill and planting schemes, to determine operational ranges of water level changes for scoping and planning purposes.
