Ryan Executive Director Louisiana State Planning Office P. 0. Box 44425 Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70804 Dear Mr. Ryan: We are happy to submit a 4-VOlUMe report which is our contribution to the first year's effort in the developing Louisiana Coastal Resources Program. This report addresses three a.spects of that developing program. It con- sists of four volumes, involving three separate work tasks. Volume 1 provides an inventory of geographic areas of particular concern which have recreational, historical, cultural, archeological and developmen- tal significance. In Volume 2, methods of assessing environmental im- pact are reviewed and the existing "state of the art" in Louisiana today is described. Volume 3 consists of an analysis of completed, under construction and proposed projects which may have a significant impact on the coastal area. Volume 4 includes 7 maps which locate areas of particular concern and public projects listed in Volumes 1 and 3. We have always felt that the Louisiana coast is a unique and vital re- gion due to its abundance of both renewable and non-renewable resources. The coastal ecosystem supports many and varied uses which provide the economic base of South Louisiana. At the same time, use of the coast's resources should not exceed the point where it seriously reduces its phe- nomenal productivity. Hopefully, the Coastal Resources Program will ert- able maximum utilization of the coast's vast resources, while at the same time protecting and conserving those areas most vital to the natural sys.- tem. We hope we have contributed in the development of a process to reach this goal. Pinpointing areas of concern and locating development pro- jects should help in delineallirig p6tential areas of conflict. BURK & ASSOCIATES, INC. - 2 - Mr. Patrick W. Ryan, Executive Director June 30, 1975 Louisiana State Planning Office We have enjoyed our association with your staff and look forward to be - ing of service in the continuing development of this vital program.

VAN LOPIK LOUISIANA SEA GRANT PROGRAM PREFACE For many years biologists, fishermen, and conservationists have realized the value of the Louisiana wetlands as a natural nesource. Today, the general public is developing a new awareness of the value of wetlands as both renewable and non-renewable resources. By any definition, the Lou- isiana coastal zone is a unique area of diversity and constant change. Its prolific biological production provides the basis for one of the world's most productive commercial and sport fisheries. For the past several years, Louisiana has led the nation in volume of seafood 'production. Coastal Louisiana has always held a particular fascination for man. The area abounds in wildlife, game and edible plants. Due to its fertile soils and sub-tropical climate, man has flourished and thrived on the harvest of this rich landscape. The wetland's value as storm buffers, natural waste treatment systems, and scenic, cultural and recreational assets are being recognized today. Because the marshlands are susceptible to continuous and rapid change, an ever-increasing need exists to understand the relationships and impacts of the system's many uses. It is apparent that as more demands are made on the wetlands, the level of concern for these areas must increase. Al- though coastal resources have always been in high demand, several trends seem to increase conflicts regarding the use of coastal areas. One trend is rising population density; the more people there are, the greater are demands for housing, jobs, roads, public facilities, and power plants. From 1960-1970, Louisiana's population increased 11.8%. How- ever, this rise was the result of a 15% population increase of the coastal parishes. Conversely, the non-coastal region decreased S. 5% (Paterson, et al. , 1974). Based on Burford and Murzyn's population projection, from 1970- 1980, the coastal region's population will expand 22.4%, while the non- coastal region's population will decline 24% (Burford & Murzyn, 1972). It is evident from these past and projected population movements that pressure on coastal areas will not abate in the foreseeable future. If anything, the pressure will increase. A second trend is increasing leisure time which society has due to increased affluence. Increased leisure time produces more recreational demands which translate into hiore marinas, boat ramps, camping facilities, access roads, and second homes. Increased affluence also produces demands for more i mineral resources, but extraction and transport of non-renewable re$ources have created conflicts with renewable resources. A third trend lies in changing technology which has been very useful in reducing the cost of goods, but has often led to significant overlapping costs. An example of this is the increased use of fertilizers and pesti- cides to raise agricultural productivity. However, the water that runs off the land adds to the deteriorated water quality for other uses. There- fore, reducing the cost of agricultural goods has indirectly increased the cost'of water treatment (Rettig., 1974). Resources in the coastal zone are very appealing to a wide variety of users. Unfortunately, the inter-rela- tionships of various industrial, recreational, residential, and aesthetic uses are difficult to understand, much less assess or quantify. A particular use of one resource could make another (activity more costly or difficult, cheaper, or have no effect. Activities can be mutually competitive, mutually com.- plementary, mutually independent, or any combination of the three. Until recent years, benefit-cost analyses had considered only the easily identifiable economic variables (e.g. , commercial and sport licenses, value of agricultural products, market value of land) of marshlands, which often total less than $20/aicre per year. At the other end of the pricing spectrum is the valuation of $4, 000/acre per year by Odum, Gosselink, and Pope (Pope, Gosselink, 1974). Although the wetlands have always been rich in resources, many people have only recently become aware of the value of the coastal zone as a place to live, work, and play. The realization of the coastal zone's fiftite characteristics has evolved because of overcrowding and oVerdevelopment in some coastal areas and the frequent misuse of this unique environment (Ketchum, 1972@. More than ever before, people are realizing that proper planning and management are urgently needed if the Louisiana coast is to continue to provide the economic bene- fits we have so long taken for granted.

Section 305 of the Coastal Zone Management Act (Public Law 92-583) gives the Sec- retary of Commerce the authority to make annual grants to coastal states to help in the development of management programs for wise utilization of coastal land and water resources. Under Section 305, states are required to address six specific aspects in their management plan. Section 305 (b) (3) requires states to inventory and designate areas of particular concern. This inventory is the purpose of Vol- ume 1 of this study for the Louisiana State Planning Office. An inventory of areas of parficular concern is fundamental to proper planning as it is an ex- pression of the most valuable or unique areas within the coastal zone. To effectively manage coastal resources, it is first necessary to identify those components which require special planning, management, or protection, or which are particularly suitable for development. An inventory and analysis of existing data, publications, and opinions pro-- vided the basis for compiling an initial list of geographic areas of particular concern. These areas were designated based on consideration of criteria defined in the Federal Register (November 29, 1973) as follows: 1) Areas of unique, scarce, fragile or vulnerable natural habitat, physical feature, historical significance, cultural value and scenic importance; 2) Areas of high natural productivity or essential habitat for living resources, including fish, wildlife and the various trophic levels in the food web critical to their well-being; 3) Areas of substantial recreational -value and/or opportunity; 4) Areas where developments and facilities are dependent upon utilization of, or access to, coastal waters; 5) Areas of unique geologic or topographic significance to industrial or com- mercial development; 6) Areas of urban concentration where shoreline utilization and water uses are highly competitive; 7) Areas of significant hazard if developed due to storms, slides, floods, erosion, settlement, etc.; and -1 8) Areas needed to protect, maintain, or replenish coastal lands or resources (including coastal flood plains, aquifer recharge areas, sand dunes, coral and other reefs, beaches, offshore sand deposits, and mangrove stands. This definition encompasses all areas suggested for consideration and desig- nation as geographic areas of particular concern. Those areas considered in this report are included in the following definition: Geographic areas of particular concern are components of the coastal environ- ment which have ecological, recreational, historical, cultural, archeological, or developmental value. Such areas may possess natural or man-made attri- butes of unusual, unique, or special significance which make them especially suited for preservation, multiple use or development. Their degree of relative significance ranges from local to national importance. Although not classified as such in this report, geographic areas of particular concern can be categorized according to capability designations. The basic concept is that "there are certain areas which, because of their attributes, require special management attention" (Clark, 1974). These areas may pos- sess either environmental or cultural values which make them worthy of special attention. Clark classifies areas of concern into three categories , based on their use tolerances: I . Vital Areas or Preservation Areas - Ecosystem elements of such critical importance and high value that they are to be preserved intact and pro- tected from harmful outside forces . 2. Areas of Environmental Concern or Conservation Areas - Broad areas of environmental sensitivity (often containing one or more vital areas), the development or use of which must be carefully controlled to protect the ecosystem. 3. Areas of General Use of Utilization Areas - Areas where only the normal levels of caution are required in utilization and in development activity. It was beyond the scope of this report to classify areas of concern according to the above scheme. This would involve a determination of land capability and use priorities which has yet to be undertaken. The objective of Volume 1 of this report was to inventory and map areas of recreational, historical, cultural, or archeological concern that might qualify for future preservation and designation as protected vital areas. Developed and pressured areas were also mapped to provide the basis for future delinea- tion of areas of general use. Such areas may be suitable for intensive use and development if they have no significant ecological, recreational, or cul- -2- tural importance. There is pervasive opinion among resource planning agencies that estuaries and surrounding wetlands are areas of environmental concern. It therefore does not take extensive study to conclude that Louisiana's estuaries are areas of environmental concern within which human activities must be care- fully controlled, though not necessarily prohibited, in order to protect the envi- ronment. The goal of planned coastal use should! be to harvest and utilize the resources of the coast while at the same time maintaining the wetlands in their natural state as much as possible. Innovative management techniques can be applied which can enhance the value and productivity of the coastal ecosystem, and not merely preserve the "status quo". Indeed, due to the dynamic and changing nature of deltaic Louisiana, it is impossible to maintain the s.ystem in a con- stant state. Designation of areas of particular concern is a planning classifi- cation and management technique by which this goal can be reached. General Organization Volume I of this report consists of a definition of geographic areas of particular concern, a discussion of data sources, a description of mapping procedures, lists by parish of areas of concern, criteria used in selecting the sites listed and brief summaries of the data. -3- DATA SOURCES The source information used in developing the initial list of geographic areas qf particular concern was derived from the reports, studies, and publications. of numerous federal, state, regional agencies, and private institutions. Num- ber's in parentheses after each site listing refer to the sou'r6e of information., Additionally, an opinion qu estionnaire, mailed to parish influentials and special interest groups, provided much useful information. Information was obtained from the following sources: Federal Agencies Bureau of Land Management Corps of Engineers National Park Service Fish and Wildlife Service Soil Conservation Service State Agencies Department of Highways Tourist Development Commission Department of Art, Historical and Cultural Preservation Archeological Survey (State Archeologist) Department of Commerce and Industry Coastal Commission Office of State Planning Department of Public Works Wildlife and Fisheries Commission State Parks and Recreation Commission Regional Planning Commissions Regional Planning Commission, New Orleans Capitol Regional Planning Commission, Baton Rouge South Central Planning and Development Commission, Thibodaux Acadiana Planning and Development District, Lafayette Imperial Calcasieu Planning and Development Commission, Lake Charles Private Institutions Gulf South Research Institute Tourist Centers in Lafayette and Lake Charles -4- Parish Influentials and Special Interests Opinion questionnaires were sent to each of the following positions in the twenty-six coastal zone parishes: Police fury Presidents Local Planning Agency Directors League of Women Voter Representatives Chamber of Commerce Directors Sportsmen's Clubs in the Louisiana Wildlife Federation Presidents of Parish Historical Societies County Extension Agents While some of the parishes did not have all of the seven positions represented, there was no parish with less than four questionnaire recipients. These seven interest groups were selected because they reflect a wide range of community, viewpoints. Also, these groups were selected because of their distribution throughout the coastal zone. A total of 129 questionnaires were sent to the coastal parishes. (See Appendix A which is a copy of the questionnaire.) Of these, 44 were answered for a 34% return rate. Although a 34% return rate is generally considered to be an above average rate for a mailed questionnaire, it was hoped that more persons would have replied because of the importance of the respondents' opinions in the parishes. In general, the questionnaires were answered in detail and provided much use- ful information. This information was added to the initial list of areas of par- ticular concern in each coastal parish. MAPPING PROCEDURES In order to begin the mapping process, the sources of information were identified. The data were gathered, then sorted and categorized. The four broad categories that the data were divided into- -recre ationa 1, historical, archeological, and deve lopmenta I - -provided the bases for the map overlays. On each overlay, the subjects were further divided as shown on the map legends (see Volume 4). Eight subject overlays encompassing the entire coastal area were repro- duced on clear polyester film. These overlays locate sites and areas presented in the initial list of geographic areas of particular concern. Each overlay should be used with the 1:250,000 scale U.S.G.S. base map. The base map was produced by joining six U.S. G.S. topographic maps, into one large map of the entire Louisiana Coastal Zone. The base map shows place names and physical features of coastal Louisiana while the overlays show numbered symbols corresponding to locations on the base map. This large map (7.5' x 4') was then laminated to produce a durable working surf ace. The value of having each overlay on a transparent material is their ver- satility. The overlays can be used singly, with one overlay, or any combination of overlays. Thus, if one is interested in recreational and archeological sites, only those two overlays are used. Additional over- lays at this scale, can be used, thereby increasing the number of map combinations. One large set of maps, scale 1:250,000, has been presented to the Louisiana State Planning Office for use in public display, public participation, and policy making. These maps were reduced to half size, scale 1:500,000, and included in each copy of this study. This was accomplished by photo- graphing each overlay over the base map onto mylar. Then, black line reprints were run from the mylars. These maps are presented separately in Volume 4. -6- All the sites and areas included in the resource inventory were mapped by a symbol referring to type of site with each site having a unique number. Numbered s@mbols on each overlay correspond to sites and areas listed in Volumes I and 3. The -typed subject list gives the name of the site, information about the site, and its reference source. For the sake of continuity, all areas were listed and mapped by parish in a sequential pattern from northwest to southeast across the coastal area. These parish areas were listed consecutively in the following sequence: Calcasieu Cameron Jefferson Davis Vermilion Acadia Lafayette -St. Martin Iberia St. Mary Iberville West Baton Rouge East Baton Rouge Assumption Terrebonne Livingston Ascension St. James St. John the Baptist St. Charles Lafourche Jefferson Tangipahoa St. Tammany Orleans St. Bernard Plaquemines As stated earlier, this inventory is an initial list and will, in all prob- ability, need updating as new information becomes available. These listings have been arranged and numbered so that data can be easily added as the information becomes available. -7- I I I I I I INITIAL LIST OF GEOGRAPHIC AREAS OF PARTICULAR CONCERN I I I I I I I I I 1 -8- I . I RECREATIONAL AREAS OF PARTICULAR CONCERN 'Selection Criteria Recreational areas listed and mapped are of seven categories: 1 State Parks and Monuments . Public lands administere d by the State Parks and Recreation Commission. A state park is a natural area of outstanding scenic and natural qualities which provides public rec- reational opportunity. 2. National Parks. Public lands administered by the National Park Ser- vice. 3. Wildlife Management Areas . Public lands owned or leased by the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission for hunting, fishing, camping, and related outdoor activities. 4. Wildlife Refuges. Lands owned by state, federal, or private interests maintained for wildlife protection, habitat preservation, and bird nest.- ing areas. 5. Natural and Scenic Rivers. Rivers included in the Natural and Scenic Rivers System established by Act 398 of the 1970 Louisiana Legisla- ture. These rivers have outstanding scenic and recreational qualities and are relatively unaltered from -their natural state. 6. State Designated Wilderness Areas. Relatively remote sections of the coastal wetlands designated as "wilderness areas" by the State Parks and Recreation Commission. 7. Miscellaneous Recreational Facilities and Areas. Included are public and private beaches, salt domes, potential natural landmarks, camp- grounds, public boat launches and marinas, and prime hunting and fishing areas. Virtually all of Louisiana's coastal swamps and marshes are of recreational importance for hunting and fishing. Most of these wetlands are privately owned, and hunting rights are leased. Some of the larger private hunting clubs were listed and mapped, but it was not possible to do so for all pri- vate lands of recreational importance. Areas listed and mapped were Federal, State, or local lands or facilities used for the purpose of hunting, fishing, camping, game management, wildlife protection, habitat preservation, and other related outdoor activ- -9- ities such as picnicking, boating, swimming, skiing, hiking and nature study. Wetland and water-related acti"Oties were emphasized. Small urban and n6i4hborhood patks within the corporate limits Of dities were mapped as one area. Recreational area information was presented in two ways. First, all recreational areas were listed by parish, starting with Calcasieu Parish and proceeding eastward across the coastal area. Secondly, recreational sites were listed by sub-headings such as state parks, management areas, and boat ramps. These sites were listed alphabetically by parish. This cross -referencing was done because of the large number of recreational sites and their numerous sub-headings. _10- CALCASIEU PARISH RECREATIONAL SITES Map State Parks and Monuments 1 Niblett's Bluff Confederate Memorial State Park, 32 acres on Sabine River, located 5 miles west of Vinton (15)* 2 Sam Houston State Park, 13 miles north of Lake Charles on U.S. 171, then west 6 miles on La. 378 (15).

These are specific fea- tures which have regional or statewide historical or tourist inter- est. Examples include plantation homes, forts, cemeteries, churches, museums, monuments, old administrative buildings, and battlegrounds. Excluded from this category are towns, high- ways, hospitals, commercial stores, and vaguely located or un- documented sites. 2. Fairs and Festivals. Fairs and festivals include cultural features, celebrations, and activities with regional or statewide interest which occur annually. Occurrence of these events is recorded by the Louisiana Tourist Commission. Examples include music and food festivals, fishing, rodeos, Mardi Gras, holiday celebrations, rodeos , and cajun bayou settlement festivals. 3. Louisiana Sites on the National Register of Historic Places. The sole requirement for inclusion in this category is that the site be listed on the National Register of Historic Places maintained by the National Park Service. To beincluded on the Register, the historic place must be a district, site, building, structure, or object significant in American history, architecture, archeology, or culture that possesses integrity of location design, setting,. materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. Currently, there are 60 sites in the Louisiana Coastal Zone on the Register, 2 8 of which are national historic landmarks. The overlay map for historical, cultural, and tourist features shows a distinct pattern of site concentrations along the larger bayous and rivers of coastal Louisiana. This is particularly true along Bayou Teche, Bayou Lafourche, and the Mississippi River. This pattern is apparently due to the traditional settlement locations along the nat- ural levees of existing and abandoned river courses. -67- A total of 479 historical sites and tourist attractions were listed and mapped. One hundred fairs and festivals were listed and mapped. Site information was presented in two ways. First, sites were listed by parish, starting with Calcasieu Parish and proceeding eastward across the coastal area. Map numbers on the lists refer to the cor- responding number on the overlay map. A designation of "LU" (loca- tion uncertain) indicates that descriptive information was inadequate to accurately locate the site on the map. The second method of site presentation was by subject heading. All sites on the National Reg- ister of Historic Places and all fairs and festivals were listed by par- ish in alphabetical order. -68- CALCASIEU PARISH HISTORIC, CULTURAL AND TOURIST FEATURES Mai) # I Fairs and Festivals 1 Southwest District Livestock Show, Lake Charles - Feb.

I I I I I I I ARCHEOLOGICAL SITES I I I I I I I I I I -122- I i ARCHEOLOgICAL SITES Archeological evidence indicates that man has lived in coastal Louisi-- ana for at least 12,000 years (Gagliano, 1969). Prehistoric settlements were located throughout coastal Louisiana, but were concentrated along natural levees of active streams and bayous, salt domes, cheniers, beach ridges, lakeshores, and edges of the Prairie Terrace. Due to the lack of archeological surveys in Southwestern Louisiana, most of the known sites are located in Southeast Louisiana, particularly in Terrebonne, St. Tammany, St. Bernard, Jefferson, and Lafourche Par- ishes. While estimates of the number of sites vary, 600 to 700 sites are recorded with the total number of sites, both discovered and undis- covered, being much higher. Given the high rate of deltaic subsidence, it is probable that many former sites have sunk beneath the marsh sur- face and will only be discovered during construction activity. Unfor- tunately, many sites have already been destroyed because of residen- tial or industrial developments. By far, the most common type of archeological site in coastal Louisiana is the midden, which is a concentration of various kinds of refuse which built up into a formless heap over a period of years. These middens con.- sist mainly of shells of mollusks such as the brackish water clam, aangja cuneata , but also included ash, bones, shell, dirt, pottery fragments, and other debris of daily living (Gaciliano, 1969). Since it is generally believed that Indians lived on these growing refuse piles, middens rep- resent habitation sites as well as garbage piles. (Shenkel, 1974). Less numerous than middens are hillocks, which are earth and shell mounds intentionally formed and given definite shape by their builders. These mounds were built -primarily as burial or temple monuments and are prominent landmarks because of their elevation (McIntyre, 1958). Site Numbering Through the considerable number of surveys undertaken in Louisiana, a generally accepted sequence of cultural periods has been developed, which is listed in Table 1. These cultural periods are used when des- cribing the mapped archeological sites. -123- TABLE I Coastal Louisiana Culture Sequence Period Interval Historic 1700 A.D. - Mississippian 1500 A.D. - 1700 A.D.

Under this system, each state first is given a number (Louisiana number is 16), then each parish (or county) has a two-letter abbreviation, and lastly each site within the parish is given a number in order of its discovery or recording. Thus, 160RS is the fifth site recorded in Orleans Parish, Louisiana. As mentioned earlier, numerous sites have been destroyed, so the following list of mapped sites has numerical gaps. These omissions represent sites which were recorded prior to their destruction (Shenkel, 1974). Archeological Reference The primary reference source for the Archeological site overlay is a report by the Louisiana State Archeologist, Robert Neumann, entitled An Archeo- logic I Assessment of Water Resource Planning Areas 9 & 10. Site information for the parishes of Iberville, East and West Baton Rouge, Livingston, and Ascension was obtained from a report by Dr. William G. Haag, entitled Archeoloaical Sites in the Capitol Region. Each site is listed by its official number. However, because of mapping space con-- straints, the state number 16 and the parish letters were omitted. The number used was the last number referring to the site within a parish; therefore, the parish boundaries overlay should be used with this overlay. Unfortunately, this site list is incomplete because no complete systematic survey of archeological sites throughout the Louisiana Coastal Zone has been made. Mapped sites represent -only a small percentage of the total archeological resource.

Developed areas are land areas of existing urban, commercial, and industrial development; including cities, towns, vil- lages, strip and.clustered development, commercial service areas , industrial parks, and transportation, communication, and utility fa- cilities. The sources of these data are recently completed maps of existing land use done for Louisiana by the U.S. Geological Survey. 2 .Pressured Areas. Pressured areas are land areas in which develop- ment is either proposed or projected due to expansion of existing developed areas. Source information for pressured areas was derived, primarily from opinion questionnaires sent to parish influentials, plans of certain public works projects, local governments, and studies dorte for the Office of State Planning on p.rojected growth areas. 3. Development Corridors. Development corridors are land areas that, due to topography and soil conditions, are most suitable for man's use. Due to the unique topography of the coastal area, development has tradition- ally occurred on the slightly higher -iatural levee ridges between wetland basins. Three major development corridors exist in the coastal region: the New Orleans - Baton Rouge, the Slidell - Baton Rouge, and the New Orleans - Lafayette corridors. Most existing and projected developrrient is located in these three corridors. There are several other smaller cor- ridors which lie along smaller abandoned river distributaries,. highwa, ys major navigation channels , or flood protection levees. These include corridors along the Mississippi -River below New Orleans, Bayou Lafourche, Bayou Terrebonne, Bayou duLarge, Bayou Petit Caillou, Bayou Sale, Bayou Cypremort, Freshwater Bayou, Calcasieu River, and Interstate 10 between Lafayette and Lake Charles. All developmental areas are shown on the corresponding overlay map. Due to the amorphous nature of most of -these areas, it was not possible to list these areas by parish.
