MARINE, WATERWAYS, PORTS & HARBORS
Houma Navigation Channel Lock Complex, Independent
Technical Review, Houma, LA 2016. Project Manager,
providing Independent Technical Review (ITR) of this
project and leading a team of marine structural and
coastal engineers. Houma Navigation Canal (HNC) Lock
Complex is a key component of the Morganza‐to‐the‐Gulf
(M2G) Hurricane Storm Damage Risk Reduction System
(HSDRRS), which includes a lock and floodgate, and will
act as a coastal restoration feature that will reduce
saltwater intrusion to surrounding wetlands and help
protect the City of Houma's potable water intake from
saltwater intrusion. The complex includes two 100ft locks
and one 250ft sector gate, Levee Reaches F1 and F2,
Levee Reach G1 and the Bayou Grand Caillou Floodgate
and Bubba Dove Floodgate. The HNC is a federally
maintained waterway beginning at the Gulf Intracoastal
Waterway (GIWW) in Houma, Louisiana. The canal ends
41 miles south of Houma at the ‐18ft contour (NAVD88)
of the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) after passing through Cat
Island Pass. Construction of the HNC began in 1958 and
officially opened in 1962. The HNC benefits a variety of
users including mineral exploration industry and the
commercial and recreational fishing industry. The
surrounding wetlands have been extremely impacted by
saltwater intrusion, invasive species, channelization,
subsidence, sea level rise, interior marsh loss and bank
line erosion. The result is a fragile ecosystem on the verge
of becoming open water. The HNC was originally
authorized and excavated to a depth of ‐15ft with a
bottom width of 150ft. The HNC Lock Complex is a
hydrologic restoration project and a key component of
the Increase Atchafalaya Flow to Terrebonne project. Its
primary purpose is flood control, salinity control,
freshwater distribution and navigation. The structure is
anticipated to stay closed except for navigation access.
The construction cost for the project is estimated
between $500M‐700M and will be in the design phase
over the next 3 years.
Lower Mississippi River, Port of New Orleans, Fender
Piling Feasibility Study, Poland‐Pauline Wharfs, New
Orleans, LA, 2014. Project Manager, prepared a
feasibility report for fender piling and the Poland‐Pauline
Wharfs. The facility consists of five berths within the
Poland Street Wharf and one berth referred to as Pauline
Street which were all built at different times (1923‐1940).
Berths 1, 2, and 3 are the permanent lay berth for the
Cape Kennedy and Cape Knox RRF vessels. These vessels
are moored IA W Navy Heavy Weather Mooring Service
Type III requirements and do not sortie from the berth
during severe weather. The Port of New Orleans is
currently designing a third cruise terminal at the Poland‐
Pauline Wharfs for the AIDA Cruise Line to berth the ship
VITA for several port of call cruises to be berthed at
Poland Avenue Berths 4 and 5. The VITA carries 1,266
passengers, is 42,289 GT, is 665 ft. long, and needs at
least 21 ft. of draft. In its present condition, due to barge
traffic and tug boats in the area, about 58 out of 133
fender piles are missing in this 800 linear feet berth. The
VITA berth has many fender piles are missing, leaving the
wharf substructure vulnerable to damage by vessel
collisions. Pilings are to be embedded in the riverbed
varying between El. ‐35 ft. and El ‐65 ft. Evaluation of
inspection reports were performed in accordance with

(1992) Environmental Specialist, served on the Third
Party Contractor (TPC) for the preparation of the NEPA
EIS for a $1.3B plant expansion over a 1,600 acre site in
order to manufacture chemical compounds primarily PVC
(polyvinyl chloride) pipe and products. Under the TPC
approach, EPA directed and managed the EIS preparation
paid for by Formosa. Mr. Lambert was responsible for
summarizing public comments from public meetings and
wrote the accidental release assessment from tankers,
barges, rail and truck increased by the construction of the
expansion. A spill was identified a major environmental
impact. The risk of accidental releases from marine spills
posed a threat to the Lavaca Bay environment via the
Matagorda Ship Channel and the Gulf Intercoastal
Waterway. The modern facilities at the Port of Point
Comfort minimized spills with the probability of major
spills from a shipping collision or accident as very low.
Effects of a spill were strongly dependent on the location
of the event and the type and amount of material spilled.
A significant spill would be a major adverse impact.

16/12
with the procedures of Applied Technology Council (ATC),
a nonprofit, tax‐exempt corporation established in 1973
through the efforts of the Structural Engineers in
California. ATC’s mission involves the development of
state‐of‐the‐art, user‐friendly engineering resources and
applications for uses in mitigating the effects of natural
and other hazards on the built environment. In the late
1990s, the ATC commenced the development of the ATC‐
45 Field Manual for evaluating the safety of structures
damaged by wind‐storms and floods. The impetus for the
document arose from the devastation caused by
damaging hurricanes that struck the coastal regions of
the southeast‐ern United States and the Hawaiian island
of Kauai earlier in the 1990s, including Hurricanes
Andrew, Fran and Iniki. The intended audience of the
manual consists of building officials, design professionals
(architects, engineers and inspectors) and other
emergency response personnel who are called upon after
windstorms and floods to determine whether damaged,
or potentially damaged, buildings are safe for occupancy,
or if entry should be restricted or prohibited.
