Main Objective

The Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation will support Public Awareness, Damage Prevention, and Unusually Sensitive Areas initiatives through a pilot program to establish best practices for dredge and pipeline operators in the Pontchartrain Basin and a tip sheet for the public that summarizes the issues and the increased environmental protection that can be achieved by using the guidelines. The Foundation will partner with other organizations to include Coastal and Marine Operators (CAMO), Louisiana One Call 811, the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority, Dredge Contractors of America (DCA) and related industry trade organizations to prevent and avoid accidental releases from pipelines submerged underwater during dredging or related marine activities.
