Following the workshop, the ports submitted proposed project summaries for potential Portfield
projects. The federal, state, and local partners are now reviewing the summaries to determine which
agencies can best assist with which projects. Based on the project summaries, the goal of the partners
is to choose at least one project from each port for implementation. The government partners have
agreed to a two-year commitment, which will hopefully be extended based on the success of this
initiative.

Southern Louisiana Regional Portfields Initiative
Through the Brownfield Redevelopment Program, the Regional Planning
Commission is the local lead agency for the Southern Louisiana Regional
Portfields Initiative, in partnership with NOAA, EPA and LDEQ. In May 2006,
the RPC hosted a Portfields Peer Exchange Workshop, partnering regional ports
with federal, state, and local partners. The goal of the Portfields Initiative is to
partner government agencies with local ports to facilitate projects and explore
application of innovative technologies. Possible projects are not limited to just
brownfield redevelopment, but may also include stormwater management,
security mechanisms, wastewater pond cleanup, habitat restoration,
environmental protection, and any other port project that might benefit from
agency collaboration. Click here for documents associated with the Southern
Louisiana Portfields Initiative.
