FY 2010 Annual Plan Presentation Outline  Introduction  Legislative Requirements  Annual Plan Overview  Budget Summary  Project Execution  Next Steps

FY 2010 Annual Plan State Master Plan  The State Master Plan is a conceptual vision of a sustainable coast based on the best available science and engineering.  It builds on past efforts and existing programs to provide this comprehensive vision.  Has four primary objectives: –Reduce risk to communities, –Restore sustainability to coastal ecosystem, –Maintain a diverse array of fish and wildlife habitats, and –Sustain Louisiana’s unique heritage and culture.

FY 2010 Annual Plan Annual Plan Complements Master Plan  The Master Plan is a conceptual document that will be updated roughly every five years.  The Master Plan did not: –inventory all ongoing and future coastal projects, –establish specific schedules by which these projects would be implemented, or –set forth funding schedules.  Instead, the Annual Plan is published each year by the Office of Coastal Protection and Restoration (OCPR) and includes these aspects of coastal planning.

FY 2010 Annual Plan Legislature and Governor’s Office Directed  Act 8 of the st Special Session created the Coastal Protection & Restoration Authority (CPRA).  Act 8 directs the CPRA to prepare an Annual Coastal Protection and Restoration Plan for submission to the legislature.  Executive Order BJ , signed January 2008, requires state agencies to administer activities in accordance with the tenets of the Master Plan.  Act 545 of 2008 directs the CPRA to integrate staff from DNR and DOTD to form the Office of Coastal Protection and Restoration.

FY 2010 Annual Plan The Louisiana Office of Coastal Protection and Restoration  July 1, 2008 Office of Coastal Protection and Restoration was established.  Combined staff from the Department of Natural Resources and the Department of Transportation and Development.  OCPR will be the lead in planning, design, construction, and operations, maintenance, and monitoring of all coastal projects.  OCPR includes the Louisiana Applied Coastal Engineering and Science (LACES) program committed to applying best science and engineering practices to all phases of the program.

FY 2010 Annual Plan The FY 2010 Annual Plan  Presents progress made in the prior year.  Lists projects planned for the following year and planned two years out.  Identifies funding needs.  Describes how CPRA and our partners intend to protect and restore Louisiana’s coast in  Gives budgets and schedules for coastal protection and restoration efforts to increase accountability.

FY 2010 Annual Plan New Information and Format  Act 545 requires the Annual Plan to include: – a three-year budget, –an implementation projection, and –a program progress assessment.  Appendix A provides annual project summaries.  Appendix B provides 3-year program spending projections.  Appendix C is The Barrier Island Report.  Appendix D is a compilation of project concepts for future consideration.  Appendix E provides a list of Master Plan Urgent Early Actions associated with specific on-going projects

FY 2010 Annual Plan Next steps  Include reporting on public, private, and federal protection and restoration efforts.  Improve project benefits analysis and feedback (adaptive management) through LACES.  Establish Regional Planning Teams.  Further develop project prioritization and scheduling tools.

FY 2010 Annual Plan New Project Prioritization Tools  New tools for evaluating and selecting future projects.  Tools include Project Benefit Scoring.  Tools utilize Master Plan’s four objectives to evaluate benefits.  Tools anticipated to clarify which projects provide most benefit based on achieving Master Plan objectives.  Tools can also associate benefits with project costs.

FY 2010 Annual Plan Project Benefits Are Scored for Each Objective within the Master Plan Objective 1 Reduce economic losses from storm based flooding Concentrated assets Distributed assets Strategic resources Objective 2 Promote a sustainable coastal ecosystem Ecosystem productivity Process exchange Objective 3 Provide habitats for commercial and recreational activities Habitat suitability Wetland area Objective 4 Sustain the unique heritage of Coastal Louisiana Coastal heritage Natural resources Sustainable balance
