4 Project Overview 1Problem: Calcasieu Basin has experienced significant land loss by saltwater intrusion into wetlands causing destruction of flora that previously stabilized the banks. 2Goal: Limit the saltwater intrusion in the Calcasieu Basin 3Solution: Construct a set of proposed construction measures to limit the exchange of saltwater from the CSC to the Calcasieu Basin. 4Path: Numerical modeling to inform the design of project features Mott MacDonald CSC (Hydrodynamic Modeling) 4 07 June 2018

34 Questions?

35 Model Validation A total of 1530 bursts were recorded, a majority of the bursts showed no significant events or unusual signals. The passage of large vessels possessed clear characteristics however: a significant drawdown of the surface elevation, as much as 1 meter (3.3 ft), as well as a corresponding flow surge at the channel edge, as much as 2 meters/second (6.6 ft/s or 4 knots) at the peak.
