Concordia Parish Brushy Bayou Project

The Concordia Parish Brushy Bayou Project has been a great success story for Concordia Parish.  Following the 1927 floods, Concordia Parish, along with many other parishes, received flood protection to its east from the Mississippi River.  In the 1950s, the Parish received funding for a ring levee protecting its north and west side from the Tensas and Black River.  This has essentially created a bowl of watershed retention further exacerbated by the flat contours and ineffective drainage within the Parish.  Originally acquired as a DR 1603 Hurricane Katrine HMGP grant, the Brushy Bayou Project was very close to being shelved.  Working with partner grant firm, Rostan Solutions, Timbalier Resources' team of policy and grant experts entered at the end of 2019 and where able to push the project forward with the assistance of the Parish administration and the engineers, helping acquire all USACE permitting, EHP criteria, and Phase 1 deliverables.  Construction is anticipated to begin in Q4 of 2023.
