Introduction From 2000 to 2004, a Phase I artificial reef program was developed in Lake Pontchartrain led by LPBF and various partners including the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries . A Phase II program was proposed in 2005. Hurricane Katrina delayed the Phase II project and caused additional survey work to be required. The survey conducted by the Mineral Management Service was to identify potential Hurricane storm debris. The project was also delayed by the untimely death of Rick Kasprzak. Rick was the State’s artificial reef coordinator form many years and with his expertise assisted in completion of the Phase I program. Doug Peter is currently the State’s artificial reef program coordinator and has ably assisted in the completion of this program. In June of 2008, LA DWF gave final approval for the Phase II project. In December Coastal Reefbuilders Inc. of Pensacola, Fla. was contracted to deploy the four reef sites in Lake Pontchartrain. This report describes the actual deployment phase of the artificial reef project. Deployment occurred in April and May of 2009 and did not encounter any significant problems of weather or mechanical issues. State and Federal agencies involved with the project were notified of pending deployment and were given access to the sites. DWF staff visited were in the field on three occasions to inspect reef program activities. NOAA and DNR staff also visited the Orleans site deployment . No injuries or safety incidents were reported or are known to have occurred. On May 12, 2009 , a press event was held in New Orleans as the Orleans site was deployed. This resulted in positive coverage for the reef program including both television and print media. In all, the deployment went smoothly and our preliminary assessment is that deployment was successful . This report is provided to the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries and will be incorporated into a final report for the Phase II program, which will include deployment description and post-deployment surveys.

Request for Proposal Proposal Due Date: COB February 29, 2008

Title: Lake Pontchartrain Artificial Reef Construction, southeast Louisiana - Phase II

Project Description: Lake Pontchartrain is an inland, estuarine bay located north of New Orleans, Louisiana. In Phase I, four artificial reefs were created by placement of reef ballsTM (see reefballfoundation.org) in the lake adjacent to mounds of shell material placed by prior by oil and gas companies. These shell pads are either intact or residual pads. The intact pads are roughly one acre in size and 3 to 5 feet elevated from surrounding normal lake bottom. Residual pads are flatter with some remnant hummocks of shell, which are 2 to 4 feet high. Approximately 350 Bay balls and 330 Pallet balls were placed on the perimeter of the elevated portion of four shell pads (see Figure 1). Extensive documentation of the Phase I deployment and monitoring can be found at SaveOurLake.org. This RFP is Phase II and is to develop four additional reef sites in Lake Pontchartrain. Two sites are intact, and two are residual shell pads (see Figure 2). All four site are identified and are currently permitted by the US Army Corps of Engineers and the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources for reef ball deployment (attached). LPBF will acquire certified site surveys, which will be staked for deployment. LPBF will also acquire magnetometer surveys pre-deployment as required by Louisiana. All sites have in excess of 12 feet water depth. Proposal should include materials as indicated below in Table 1, delivery and deployment of reef balls at the four specifies sites. All reef balls are required to have individual ID number markings mounted on duplicate plates on each reef ball (see attached description).

Figure 1: Illustration of the position of reef balls around elevated shell pad.

Figure 2: Phase II artificial reef locations

Table 1: Approximate distribution of reef balls at the four proposed sites. Actual distribution request may vary modestly.

Objectives: Complying with all state, federal and local laws, regulations, and permits deploy reef balls at specified locations within Lake Pontchartrain in a manner of industry standards. All additional guidance given here should be followed unless specifically approved otherwise. Approximately 600 reef balls should be placed upright and marked as specified by LPBF. The exact final distribution will be determined following additional site surveys to be conducted just prior to deployment. Products:

1. 300 Bay ball size reef balls 2. 290 Pallet ball size reef balls 3. 10 Reef ball size reef balls

Generalized Tasks:

1. Produce or purchase reef balls and attach ID plates with unique ID numbers (see attached information)

2. Deliver reef balls to Lake Pontchartrain 3. Deploy 600 reef balls in Lake Pontchartrain as specified by LPBF 4. As-built documentation provided after deployment including actual number of reef balls

and ID numbers for reef balls deployed at the four different sites. Documentation should also include dates of deployment and any irregularities of the deployment.

5 of 76

Special Considerations: Lake Pontchartrain is an inland bay, which can have severe weather conditions. Contractor carries all risks of transporting and deployment of reef balls. LPBF must be notified at least 48 hours in advance of deployment and be allowed to inspect deployment operations. The Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation is a 501-C3 designated non-profit by the Internal Revenue Service. Cash or in-kind donations to this project may be tax deductable. LPBF is awaiting final approval from the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. The project may be delayed pending final approval. Procedural Guidance: LPBF and contractor will remain in contact by phone or email and keep parties apprised of project development. Any unexpected delays in the project should be communicated immediately.

Lake Pontchartrain Artificial Reef Program – Phase II Proposed Tagging

The tagging procedures used for the Lake Pontchartrain Artificial Reef Program – Phase I was only partially successful. Three problems were encountered:

1) During deployment tags were dislodged as reef balls were lifted in pairs and scraped against each other 2) Divers noticed additional tags became loose overtime due to apparent poor adhesion of the silicon to the

anodized aluminum plates 3) Plates located on the side of the reef ball were difficult to locate by divers due to the large surface area and

the awkward position of divers to inspect the sides Some positives were that the anodized aluminum tags did not appear to degrade and that the silicone did adhere to the concrete sides of the reef balls.

Proposed tagging for Phase II deployed reef balls (Figure below)

• Dual tagging of all reef balls with unique ID #, LPBF and Phone number

• One tag will be anchored with heavy aluminum nails placed in un‐set concrete

• Second tag will be set with marine glue as in Phase I but with pre‐drilled holes through the plate so that the unset glue extrudes through the opening. The plate will be held by the plug of glue through the hole rather than the adhesive property of the glue.

Four New Artificial Reefs Developed in Lake Pontchartrain

Fishermen Take Notice!!

New Orleans, LA: Four new artificial reef sites are being developed in Lake Pontchartrain by the Lake Pontchartrain Artificial Reef Working Group led by the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation, LSU AgCenter/ La. Sea Grant and the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana. The new reefs will be completed by May 12, 2009 and will be located in Orleans, St. Tammany, and St. Charles Parishes. A press conference on the reef program will be held Tuesday, May 12 at 1:00 PM at the New Canal Lighthouse, 8001 Lakeshore Drive, along the New Orleans Lakefront. Coordinates of the new reefs will be announced during the press conference. Dr. John Lopez of the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation states that “the purpose of the reefs is to create structural habitat which has been shown to increase fish populations and fish biodiversity in Lake Pontchartrain.” The four reefs are the final phase of the program which follows an initial development of five reefs in Lake Pontchartrain from 2000 to 2004. The new reef construction includes deployment of 600 reef balls of various sizes. Permits to construct the four reefs were obtained by the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. After final inspections, the reef balls will be donated to the State of Louisiana.

Carlton Dufrechou, Executive Director of the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation says “Twenty years ago when the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation was formed, folks thought it would never be possible to fish in the lake again. Now, the lake is back and fishermen know first-hand that the lake is once again one of the premier fishing spots in the Gulf Coast region.” The total project cost of the Phase II artificial reef program, including monitoring is $160,000. Technical and financial support was provided by the La. Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, NOAA Restoration Center, Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana, Shell Exploration and Production, Inc., Jefferson Parish Marine Fisheries Advisory Board, Louisiana Office of Coastal Protection and Restoration, Minerals Management Service, T. Baker Smith, and the University of New Orleans. Mark Schexnayder of the LSU AgCenter/ La. Sea Grant says “The earlier studies clearly showed more fish aggregating near the artificial reefs than on control sites, probably drawn by the increase in bait species observed. More fish means a better chance of catching them, and that is a good thing.” “This is a great time for fishing in the lake,” adds Dufrechou. “We have the new reefs going in and the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation is hosting its 13th annual fishing rodeo May 16th and 17th. So I encourage everyone to go out and catch some fish.” For more information on the Lake Pontchartrain Artificial Reef Program and the 13th Annual Save Our Lake and Coast Fishing Rodeo call (504) 836-2215 or visit www.saveourlake.org

Underwater construction helping repopulate Lake Pontchartrain -- with fish by Chris Kirkham, The Times-Picayune Tuesday May 12, 2009, 7:45 PM

ELIOT KAMENITZ / THE TIMES PICAYUNEThe Lake Ponchartrain Basin Foundation along with the LSU Sea Grant and other organizations Tuesday deployed four new artificial reefs in Lake Pontchartrain designed to increase fishing opportunities for anglers. Five miles out from the New Orleans lakefront, 12 feet below the surface, a new terrain for Lake Pontchartrain took shape Tuesday. On an acre-and-a-half of shells, cranes strategically dropped 180 hollow concrete balls, some weighing as much as 3,500 pounds, with the hope of creating an ecological hot spot for game fish and anglers who chase them. • Diagram: How the artificial reef project works After nearly a decade of development, academics and local environmental groups are wrapping up construction on the last of nine artificial reefs in the lake -- most covering one to two acres -- at sites from Slidell to St. Charles Parish. Officials with the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation, one of the sponsoring agencies, see the new reefs as the latest comeback for a habitat that was scoured by shell dredging and pollution until the 1990s. "Very few people took fishing in Lake Pontchartrain seriously, " said John Lopez, director of the foundation's coastal sustainability program. "But now people look at it as a premier spot." Although the lake is the most visible, most accessible waterway for much of the New Orleans area, the wide-open estuary has often been a bust for anglers hoping to bag large speckled trout and redfish.

Even with the marked improvements to water quality in the lake since the 1980s, the landscape is mostly a flat mud bottom that provides little shelter for the crabs and other aquatic life needed to attract pockets of larger fish. Fish like structures, but aside from the bridges and the shorelines, there's little variety in the lake. "The bottom of the lake -- it's not lifeless, but it's featureless, " said Woody Crews, a board member for the foundation and the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana who was on a boat tour surveying the reef-building Tuesday. "Outside of those reef balls, the only feature on this lake is that Causeway." Since 2000 the basin foundation, the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana and LSU's Sea Grant College Program have raised money to build the nine artificial reefs. Eight of them have been built with concrete "reef balls, " which have holes bored in them to allow crabs, shrimp and smaller bait fish to grow inside. That in turn attracts larger game fish, which in turn attract humans who catch them. The reefs are sturdy: none of them was disturbed by Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Gustav or Ike. And anglers have reported increased catches in the area within weeks of the reefs being built.

Five artificial reefs were developed between 2000 and 2004, and the newest four have been laid over the past few weeks, at a cost of $160,000. Crews with Coastal Reef Builders, out of Pensacola, Fla., finished deploying the 180 balls off New Orleans' lakefront Tuesday. The final reef site will be laid today, several miles off Interstate 10 in St. Charles Parish in the southwest corner of the lake. The reefs rise about four feet from the bottom and should pose no danger to recreational boaters. Coast Guard regulations to not require that they be marked by buoys. Aside from the immediate results -- new fishing spots -- some of the project developers believe the artificial reefs will attract a more diverse set of fish species to the lake and mimic a habitat that has been lost due to the intense shell dredging of the past. The rangia clams harvested to build roads throughout south Louisiana from the 1930s until 1991, when the practice was banned, once provided a foundation for the entire lake habitat. The artificial reefs in Lake Pontchartrain are among the few inshore reefs. The state Department of Wildlife and Fisheries oversees an artificial reef program that utilizes old oil rigs, but most of those are miles offshore in the Gulf of Mexico. . . . . . . .
