- 10. Project Goals/Objectives
- - Increase quality of life for residents - Decrease loss of habitat - Decrease potential for ground water contamination - Provide significant improvements to hurricane/storm resistance by reducing flooding
- 11. Which of the following authorized uses set forth in the GOMESA Act does this project fall under?
- (A) Projects and activities for the purpose of coastal protection, including conservation, coastal restoration, hurricane protection, and infrastructure directly affected by coastal wetlands losses
- Yes: Maintenance of the City's drainage system is required for the collection and removal of waste matter systematically to prevent soil loss in coastal wetlands and habitats that exists within them.
- (B) Mitigation of damage to fish, wildlife, or natural resources.
- Yes: Drainage promotes beneficial soil bacteria activity and improves soil tilth. Drainage also controls the salinity of the soil. Poor drainage creates waterlogged areas, creating higher salinity levels, which equates to soil erosion and loss of habitat and natural resources.
- (C) Implementation of a federally-approved marine, coastal, or conservation management plan.
- (D) Mitigation of the impact of Outer Continental Shelf activities through funding of onshore infrastructure projects.
- 12. Project Timetable/Milestones
- Design and Planning- 6 months Permitting- 6 months Construction- 12 months Closeout- 1 months
- 13. Project Timing
- Short-term
- 14. Current status of architectural/engineering plans & specifications for this project (if applicable):
- In Progress Funds Not Budgeted
- 15. In what way does this project meet the goals and objectives of the Department of Marine Resources, which includes enhancing, protecting and conserving the marine interest of Mississippi for present and future generations?
- Inadequate drainage can lead to stagnate, waterlogged areas, which hold a plethora of pollutants. Protecting the groundwater from contamination mitigates potential harm to fish, wildlife, and natural resources.
