The damaged project features include 4 water control structures (Mangrove Bayou, Grand Bayou, Lambert Bayou and No Name Bayou), 3 levee breaches (Grand Bayou, Lambert Bayou and No Name Bayou), and 2 interior canal plugs (Mangrove Bayou and Grand Bayou). Along with other components, these features function systemically with an earthen protection levee to maintain optimal conditions within the marshlands to the East. The sheet pile wall structures categorized as levee breaches were originally constructed to plug the levee breaches occurred during Hurricane Rita. The sheet pile wall structures categorized as canal plugs are situated within the interior canal that parallels the watershed’s protection levee. Repair activities include placing hauled-in rip rap within the scoured areas around the various structures’ tie-ins to adjacent ground and rebuilding the once-existent rip rap embankments that originally abutted a number of the structures in order to restore them to pre-Laura integrity. The extensiveness of the scouring that has occurred around the Grand Bayou and Lambert Bayou levee breach sheet pile wall structures warrant the installation of additional linear footage of sheet pile wall and associated rip rap embankment. The outlet/lake-side canal of the Mangrove Bayou water control structure requires mechanical dredging of the debris build up and siltation resulting from Hurricane Laura.), Cameron Parish, LA.
