    Water Quality Monitoring for Watershed Protection Plan, Bogue Falaya and Abita Watersheds CFMS Contract No.: 691076 FINAL REPORT Andrea Bourgeois-Calvin, Chelsea Core, William Pestoff, Mary Davis 1 CFMS Contract No.: 691076 Cooperator: Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation Project Title: “Water Quality Monitoring for Watershed Protection Plan, Bogue Falaya and Abita Watersheds” FINAL REPORT 1.0 INTRODUCTION Program Background: The Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation (LPBF), in association with the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospitals (DHH), began performing intensive water quality monitoring around the Basin in 2001. Data analysis revealed sites north of the Lake to have significantly higher fecal coliform counts than sites south of the Lake. In 2002, LPBF began to investigate the sources of fecal pollution contributing to the high counts observed on north shore waterways, breaking down the task by sub-watershed. The LPBF’s “Sub-Basin Pollution Source Tracking Program” utilizes water quality analysis and geographic information systems (GIS) mapping to locate potential sources of pollution then provides on-the-ground assistance to correct the sources. To date, the Bogue Falaya, Tchefuncte, Tangipahoa, Natalbany, and Tickfaw watersheds have undergone this program. In the Bogue Falaya, the program resulted in dramatic decreases in fecal coliform levels (Figure 1) and the Bogue Falaya, Tchefuncte and Tangipahoa Rivers were removed from Impaired Water bodies List for fecal coliform bacteria in 2008. Figure 1. Fecal Coliform Geometric

  • Flood Risk Report Liberty Bayou‐Tchefuncta Watershed HUC ‐ 08090201
    Flood Risk Report Liberty Bayou‐Tchefuncta Watershed HUC ‐ 08090201 November 2018 Flood Risk Report History RISK REPORT MODULE – November 2018 Version Number Version Date Summary 1 August 2018 Pre‐Discovery Report 2 November 2018 Post‐Discovery Report RISK REPORT MODULE – November 2018 Preface The Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Risk Mapping, Assessment, and Planning (Risk MAP) program provides States, tribes, and local communities with flood risk information, datasets, risk assessments, and tools that they can use to increase their resilience to flooding and better protect their residents. By pairing accurate floodplain maps with risk assessment tools and planning and outreach support, Risk MAP transforms the traditional flood mapping efforts into an integrated process of identifying, assessing, communicating, planning for, and mitigating flood‐related risks. This Flood and Natural Hazard Risk Report provides datasets for floods and other natural hazards to help local or tribal officials, floodplain managers, planners, emergency managers, and others better understand their flood risk, take steps to mitigate those risks, and communicate those risks to their residents and local businesses. Flood risk often extends beyond community limits. This report provides flood risk data for communities within the Liberty Bayou‐Tchefuncta Watershed. Flood risk is always changing, and studies, reports, or other sources may be available that provide more comprehensive information. This report is not intended to be regulatory or the final authoritative source of all flood risk data in the project area. Rather, it should be used in conjunction with other data sources to provide a comprehensive picture of flood risk within the project area.
