Marine Remote Sensing Survey of the Atchafalaya Ocean Dredged Material Disposal Site, Louisiana

Abstract

This report presents the results of Phase I archival and archeological investigations of an approximately 9.6% sq mi (26.4 sq km) area along the east side of the Atchafalaya River Bar Channel, in coastal Louisiana, between Terrebonne and St. Mary Parishes. These investigations were undertaken by P. Christopher Goodwin & Associates, Inc., on behalf of the U.S. Army of Corps of Engineers, New Orleans District, in support of the proposed establishment of an Ocean Dredged Material Disposal Site (ODMDS). In keeping with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer's mission to inventory, document, preserve, and protect significant cultural resources under their stewardship, this study will assist the New Orleans District to comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1960, as amended; the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's regulation 36 CFR 800, "Protection of Historic Properties"; the Abandoned Shipwreck Act of 1987 (43 U.S.C. 2101.2106); the Secretary of Interior's Standards and Guidelines for Archeology and Historic Preservation (Federal Register 48, No. 190,1983), and Abandoned Shipwreck Act Guidelines; Louisiana's Comprehensive Archeological Plan (1983); and the Louisiana Submerged Cultural Resources Management Plan (1990).
