The project is located in Lafourche Parish, Louisiana, Wetland losses associated with the project were also reevaluated. The project provides for a hurricane protection levee from Larose to Golden Meadow. The levee would extend about 21 miles on the west bank and 22 mlees on the east bank of Bayou Lafourche. The complete system would have a net evaluation of +13.0 feet NGVD at Golden Meadow to +9.5 feet at Larose.
