摘要：	The pieces are falling into place for construction to begin this year on Louisiana's massive Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion, planned for the west bank of the Mississippi River near the town of Ironton in Plaquemines Parish. After years of planning by Louisiana's Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA), the Louisiana Trustee Implementation Group (LA TIG), the group of agencies responsible for dis- tributing settlement funding tied to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, approved the Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion Final Restoration Plan in September 2022. Three months later, the New Orleans Engineer District and the Mississippi Valley Engineer Division granted the conditional permit and Section 408 permission to CPRA for the diversion. Barely a week later, CPRA announced an agreement to pay Tallgrass, an energy company, about $36 million to acquire close to 500 acres of land. Tall-grass had planned a crude oil export terminal on the same site CPRA identified for the diversion. Tallgrass canceled plans for its project in 2021.
