Louisiana Trustee Implementation Group Draft Supplemental Environmental Assessment for the Pointe-aux-Chenes Wildlife Management Area (PACWMA) Recreational Use Enhancement Project

This supplemental environmental assessment evaluates three alternatives.
• In Alternative A, the small boat launch, listed as "pirogue launch," in the plan, is in the location described in the original Restoration Plan #4, in the Montegut Unit of the PACWMA, near the town of Montegut, Louisiana. The project area includes native vegetation and hardwood forest that transitions to intermediate marsh, which would be affected by construction of the launch.
• In the preferred Alternative B, the pirogue launch is moved to a new area, on top of the Terrebonne Parish 4-3C Levee and the Morganza Levee. The new location provides access to tidally influenced brackish and intermediate marsh without requiring clearing any vegetation or causing adverse effects to sensitive habitats.
• A "No Action" alternative, Alternative C, was also evaluated.
