CWPPRA project proposals for the Barataria Basin
St. Charles Parish
Summary
The parish pitched four restoration projects to CWPPRA — Salvador shoreline protection, Couba Island protection, an upper Barataria freshwater diversion, and the Des Allemands rock jetty. A committee member argued strongly for a siphon over a small 2,000 CFS diversion structure to keep water flowing year-round.
