Tag: Debris Removal
The first win by the Louisiana Fishing Community Recovery Coalition to secure funding for a seafood industry destroyed by four hurricanes over two years is happening in the Louisiana State Legislature. House Bill 1 (HB1), which provides for the ordinary operating expenses of state government for the upcoming fiscal year, currently includes $5 million designate for debris cleanup and vessel removal clogging bayous and waterways.
One parish in Louisiana has already started to prepare for cleanup from the next storm. St. Tammeny Parish, stretching from Slidell to Covington on the northern banks of Lake Pontchartrain, has issued a Request for Proposals (RPF) for emergency, infrastructure restoration, debris removal and disposal that include waterways in the Parish maintenance system.
