  Louisiana Land Use Toolkit

  The Louisiana Land Use Toolkit is an online resource for local jurisdictions. The Toolkit contains a model set of development regulations that can be used to help guide future growth and development in an sustainable and economically competitive manner. The Toolkit is a shared resource from which parishes and municipalities can adopt a complete development code or select cafeteria-style from individual tools that meet their specific needs. The Toolkit is intended to be used in two ways. At its simplest, the Toolkit is a standalone zoning or subdivision code, or a series of growth management tools that can be selected individually to meet specific needs. In its more complete form, the Toolkit can be combined and customized to build a complete development code. The following components make up the Louisiana Land Use Toolkit.

  Nitrogen in Agricultural Systems: Implications for Conservation Policy

  This report explores the use of nitrogen in U.S. agriculture and assesses changes in nutrient management by farmers that may improve nitrogen use efficiency. It also reviews a number of policy approaches for improving nitrogen management and identifies issues affecting their potential performance. Findings reveal that about two-thirds of U.S. cropland is not meeting three criteria for good nitrogen management related to the rate, timing, and method of application. Several policy approaches, including financial incentives, nitrogen management as a condition of farm program eligibility, and regulation, could induce farmers to improve their nitrogen management and reduce nitrogen losses to the environment. Similar to 2010 CEAP on Upper Miss Basin. Both analyses assess baseline nitrogen management on cropland according to three criteria: rate, timing, and method.

  Propose a Beneficial Environmental Project

  A Beneficial Environmental Project is one that provides for environmental mitigation which the Respondent is not otherwise legally required to undertake. The Respondents are usually industrial or municipal facilities that have been issued an enforcement action by the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (the Department) for violating state environmental laws and regulations. Enforcement actions issued by the Department require the defendant/respondent to mitigate any environmental damages resulting from a violation. Both DEQ and the Respondent must agree to include the BEP in the settlement agreement. The Respondent must voluntarily agree to undertake the beneficial environmental project as a component of a Settlement Agreement stemming from any environmental violation(s), enforcement action or penalty assessment. It is important to note that BEPs are developed in the context of settlement negotiations in which confidentiality between the agency and the respondent is essential to open exchange and exploration of settlement options.

  State and Local Coastal Resources Management Act (SLCRMA) and Local Coastal Management Programs

  The 1978 Louisiana State and Local Coastal Resources Management Act, La. RS. 49:214.21 et seq, authorized the LDNR's Coastal Management program and the development, at the parish level, of local coastal management programs (LCPs). The Louisiana Coastal Resources Program (LCRP) is responsible for conservation, protection, management, and enhancement or restoration of Louisiana’s coastal resources. After receiving federal and state approval, Parish level local coastal management programs become the permitting authority for coastal uses of local concern defined as "those uses which directly and significantly affect coastal waters and are in need of coastal management but are not uses of state concern and which should be regulated primarily at the local level if the local government has an approved program" (RS. 49:214.25.A.2).
