Monitoring Response to the Stormwater Discharge at the Proposed Pointe aux Chenes Pumping Station, Project #MX974605

View Introduction

Stormwater Pumps within Baratatia-Terrebonne Estuary	The zig-zag feature is the levee. The area under forced drainage is to the east. The degraded marsh is to the west	Pointe-Au Chien WMA	On the levee near pump constraction site
An air boat is necessary because of the shallow water	Preparing a layer of feldspar from which to measure accretion in the marsh	Sediment elevation tables are used to measure accreation in open water	Discharge area from pump location
