Description
- Description
- The purpose of this agreement is to support and advance the gulf hypoxia action plan through implementation of louisiana's nutrient reduction strategy. The 2022 louisiana department of environmental quality workplan will target implementation of agricultural best management practices within prioritized tracts in northeast louisiana, and will conduct transect monitoring in coastal louisiana. Best management practices will be targeted within the lake ST. Joseph and cypress bayou watersheds to reduce agriculture-induced nutrient loading and provide other water quality improvements. Coastal monitoring will occur along a transect extending from barataria pass, louisiana to the inner shelf of the gulf of mexico to inform the interactive effects of multiple ecosystem change drivers (restoration, riverine nutrient loading, hypoxia, climate change) on living resources in the gulf of mexico. This agreement is supported by funding provided under the infrastructure investment and jobs act (IIJA) (PL 117-58).activities:the activities to be performed include the following: reduce the concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus in the lake ST. Joseph and cypress bayou watersheds within the tensas river basin to demonstrate improved water quality and water clarity, lessened siltation, enhanced submerged aquatic vegetation, balanced biological oxygen demand, enhanced macroinvertebrate and aquatic wildlife diversity, enhanced project area flood and drought resilience, enhanced nesting and brooding cover for resident upland ground-nesting birds, improved feeding habitat for migratory birds and more. The state will also complete a multi-site, 60-month survey of water quality parameters recorded at the surface (measured 0.5 M from surface), mid, and bottom (measured within 1 M of bottom) at each selected monitoring site on the coastal transect monitoring project.

Outcomes:anticipated deliverables include a final quality assurance project plan for water quality testing and reporting, water quality monitoring data and analysis, data uploaded to the EPA water quality exchange database. The intended beneficiaries include the residents of the state of louisiana
