ARBC amends master plan to record East Feliciana Parish opposition to reservoir project
Summary
The Amite River Basin Commission voted to accept and post a resolution from the East Feliciana Parish Police Jury opposing a proposed reservoir included in the commission master plan; the motion passed after a roll-call portion and was added to the commission’s web record.
The Amite River Basin Commission accepted a resolution from the East Feliciana Parish Police Jury opposing a reservoir concept that had been listed in the ARBC master plan and directed staff to post the parish’s resolution as an amendment on the master-plan webpage.
Commissioner Parker moved to accept the East Feliciana Parish resolution for posting as an amendment to the master plan; Commissioner Byrd (St. Helena) seconded the motion. The commission conducted a roll-call portion of the vote and the measure passed. President Clark offered a recorded qualification of his vote, noting that East Feliciana Parish is a government entity with a designated seat on the commission and that it occupies significant river frontage in the basin.
Why it matters: The commission’s master plan guides regional flood-mitigation planning and project priorities. By accepting the parish’s resolution and posting it to the master-plan record, the commission documented East Feliciana Parish’s formal opposition to the reservoir concept and preserved the parish’s official position as part of the commission’s public record.
The motion and vote recorded in the meeting reflect an administrative action to amend the public master-plan record; no other policy change or new project authorization was made at the meeting.
Ending: The commission’s staff will post the East Feliciana Parish resolution to the ARBC master-plan materials on the commission website as directed by the vote.
