IMPACT:

Based on the anticipated impacts to parks due to the project as discussed in the Final EIS, it has been determined that Section 4(f) and 6(f) would not be applicable
image:decorative
to parks in the vicinity of the project. Section 4(f) is a component of the Department of Transportation Act Regulations that protects publicly owned parks, recreation areas, wildlife and waterfowl refuges, and historic sites. Section 6(f) is a component of the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) Act that requires special coordination with and approval of the National Park Service if lands which were acquired or developed with funds provided by LWCF are required for highway right of way. Although noise and visual effects will occur at Beaver Park, they do not substantially impact the 4(f) property. Should design details as subsequently developed cause impacts which are not currently apparent, 4(f) and 6(f) applicability would be reviewed by the FHWA and LaDOTD and statements prepared,if warranted.

COMMITMENT:

LaDOTD will coordinate with the National Park Service and Lafayette Parish Recreation and Parks during the design phase to ensure that appropriate access and egress opportunities are maintained at Jean Lafitte National Historic Park and Beaver Park during construction and after completion of the project. It is not known at this time when the detailed design will commence.

STATUS:

See table below.
