摘要：	The New Orleans Engineer District has released a draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion (MBSD), a $2 billion project that, if built, would connect freshwater, nutrients and sediment from the Lower Mississip- pi River to Louisiana's Barataria Basin. The Corps prepared the draft EIS for the Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, lead trustees for the plan. The plan comes from the Louisiana Trustee Implementation Group and grows out of the 2016 Natural Resource Damages settlement following the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill. CPRA and NOAA, along with the Environmental Law Institute and Restore The Mississippi River Delta, will host community discussion groups March 22 and 23 and April 20 to look more closely at the project, which would divert up to 75,000 cubic feet per second of Mississippi River "freshwater and its sediment and nutrients" toward wetlands in the Barataria Basin.
