McNerney and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This cultural resources survey and assessment is conducted in a study area consisting of ten archaeological site areas, or portions thereof, which lie within the impact area of the proposed Kaskaskia Island levee project, Kaskaskia Island, ILL. Based upon information gained from the initial and present surface reconnaissances, along with shovel testing results, there is no evidence to indicate the presence of significant prehistoric or historic archaeological remains on sites R-329, R-336, R-339, R-352, R-354, R-359, R-361. Phase II recommendations state that sites R-357 and R-360 do not meet National Register criteria. Construction may proceed on the levee at Kaskaskia Island without adversely effecting significant prehistoric and historic cultural resources in all areas. (Author).

Download or read book Drawing Louisiana s New Map written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2006-02-23 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past 50 years, coastal Louisiana has suffered catastrophic land loss due to both natural and human causes. This loss has increased storm vulnerability and amplified risks to lives, property, and economies-a fact underscored by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Drawing Louisiana's New Map reviews a restoration plan proposed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the State of Louisiana, finding that, although the individual projects in the study are scientifically sound, there should be more and larger scale projects that provide a comprehensive approach to addressing land loss over such a large area. More importantly, the study should be guided by a detailed map of the expected future landscape of coastal Louisiana that is developed from agreed upon goals for the region and the nation.
