MTH 251 Lab 7 FALL 2016
NAME :
1. Inverse trigonometric derivatives review. Find the derivative of the following functions:
(a) d
dx
(ln(tan−1(x2 + 3))). For what values of x is this derivative valid?
(b) d
dx
(π sec−1(x2 − 1)). For what values of x is this derivative valid?
(c) d
dx
(
11 sin−1(−3x)
)
. For what values of x is this derivative valid?
2. Consider the linear function y = 1 − 2x. Find the inverse function, then compute the
derivatives of both functions. What do you notice?
3. The relationship in the previous problem works for any differentiable function with an
inverse. If f is differentiable at a point x0, then the derivative of f
−1 at an appropriate
point should be 1/f ′(x0), if f
′(x0) 6= 0.
(a) Sketch the graph of y =
√
x− 1, then find and carefully sketch its inverse on the
same graph.
(b) Find the tangent line to the graph of y =
√
x− 1 at the point where x = 5.
Sketch the tangent line on your curve.
(c) What is the corresponding tangent line on the graph of the inverse function?
What is its slope? You should be able to get this just by thinking about the
geometry.
(d) Compute the derivative of the inverse function directly. What input value must
you plug-in to get 1/y′(5)? (This is the slope you should have found in the previous
part.)
4. The previous problem illustrates the following result: If f is differentiable and has an
inverse on some interval I, and x0 is a point in I such that f
′(x0) 6= 0, then f−1 is
differentiable at y0 = f(x0), and
(f−1)′(y0) =
1
f ′(x0)
.
Use this to determine (f−1)′(3) for the function f(x) = x3 + x + 1, without finding the
inverse first.

Flatlick Branch Phase II Stream Restoration ProjectFairfax County
The Flatlick Branch Phase II Stream Restoration project included restoration of 4,600 linear feet of Flatlick Branch and its tributaries, provided a sustainable channel form, pattern and profile to meet today’s developed landscape, added in-stream habitat enhancement and flood plain restoration, rock structures to provide grade control throughout the channel and provide energy dissipation, and the planting of the stream areas with native vegetation.
Dead Run Stream Restoration at McLean Central Park - Segments 2 and 3Fairfax County
The project restored approximately 3,000 linear feet of stream within the Dead Run Watershed which drains directly to the Potomac River in McLean, Virginia. Restoration of the stream was achieved using natural channel design principles. The project included boulder riffles, step pools, log vanes, root wad structures, buried rock sills, reinforced stream bed material, removal of invasive plants and the re-establishment of the riparian buffer with native species.
MITIGATION BANKING IS BAD!
My Opponent, Kick the Cannon, has been very negative of my Business with Wetland Mitigation Banking. However, did you know, that in 2017, The City of Winter Springs received a permit to IMPACT 0.63 Acres of Direct Wetland Impacts for the construction of several NEW FEATURES at TORCASO PARK!?
The City purchased 0.147 UMAM Credits which provided 2.5 Acres of Wetland Mitigation Credits from Torcaso Park from Lake Jesup Mitigation Tract.
Within the SJRWMD Technical Staff Report it actually states that the elimination or reduction of impacts was not required for the 0.63-acre direct impacts to W1 because the ecological value of the functions provided by the area of wetland to be adversely affected is low, and the proposed mitigation will provide greater long term ecological value than the area of wetland to be adversely affected, pursuant to Section 10.2.1.2(a.) ERP A.H. Volume I.

Accotink Tributary at Oakford Drive Stream RestorationFairfax County
The Accotink Tributary at Oakford Drive Stream Restoration project included restoration of approximately 1,538 linear feet of stream using natural channel design for restoration, enhancing and stabilizing the degraded stream channel, bed and bank to stabilize, enhance and provide water quality benefits, aesthetics, and prevent further erosion.
Hunting Creek at Fairfield Stream RestorationFairfax County
The Hunting Creek at Fairchild Stream Restoration project, Substantially Completed on January 13, 2021, includes restoring, enhancing and stabilizing approximately 1,186 linear feet of stream channel in two segments and 166 linear feet of tributary through natural channel design to provide aquatic benefits, grade control, improve water quality and prevent further erosion. The work also included demolition of a condemned house and accessory structures including obtaining all associated demolition permits and restoration landscaping.
Restore ~4,000 feet by returning the form and function of the channel to dynamic equilibrium and improve the ecological processes of the riparian corridor.
Dwindling availability of water, combined with increases and competition in demand, climate change impacts, trends toward true cost water pricing, among other “drivers,” necessitates that urban water planning incorporate consideration of strategies for use, conservation, and reuse of treated wastewater and stormwater. Three innovative initiatives will be discussed as illustrations of “win-win” approaches that achieve effective water management (urban water security/sustainability) while facilitating economic development.
Backlick Run Gravity Sewer Abandonment Project June 2020Fairfax County
This is a 4,000 linear foot section of gravity sewer that was taken out of service. The pipe had deteriorated and was prone to collapse. The area was restored and site improvements were completed.
Pohick Creek Tributary at Queen Victoria - Stream RestorationFairfax County
The Pohick Creek At Queen Victoria stream restoration project is located in Burke bound by Burke Lake Drive, Fort Craig Drive and Lake Braddock Drive within the Pohick Creek watershed. The project involved restoration of approximately 3,300 linear feet of stream using natural channel design elements and utilized in-stream structures, channel realignment, pool and riffle complexes, invasive species eradication, and the re-establishment of the native riparian buffer.
This incident could be the consequence of various factors such as potential design shortcomings, construction defects, or maintenance lapses. The decision to allocate approximately $180,000 to Pegasus Engineering for a comprehensive evaluation of the damages and to discern the essential repairs is a necessary step. We anticipate insightful findings that will clarify the intricacies of the berm's failure and provide guidance on avoiding similar future incidents.
Paul Spring Branch at Sherwood Hall Stream Restoration ProjectFairfax County
The plan is to return the form and function of the channel to dynamic equilibrium and improve the ecological processes of the riparian corridor within the constraints of the developed landscape.

Organizational Structure
Preface:
A leader’s job is to create the direction for the company to move forward. The leader does this in steps. Here are the steps of the process:
First, the leader designs the vision and mission for the company and second, the leader must establish an organizational structure which promotes the vision, mission and empowers the employees to keep the forward movement in the organization.
In creating the structure various factors must be considered.
· First and foremost is the purpose of the company or organization. What type of structure will best accomplish that goal? Certainly a company like UPS needs a somewhat rigid structure that is set up to focus on procedure and time sensitivity. Since UPS has as its goal to get the correct parcels to the right customers in the fastest way possible, variance in procedures or ways of accomplishing the tasks would never work. A tight delineated structure is imperative.
· Along with the purpose the leader must look at the vision of the organization. Where does the leader want the organization to go? How best can the structure provide for the future? Will the vision call for expansion into other countries or simply call for product development changes? Do you plan a struct ...

computations required) document with filename format:
Last First_Week X hwk.doc or .xls Make sure your name appears on each page of the
homework using the header function.
Homework questions:
1. Why do you think it took from 1999, when the XBRL concept was invented, until 2009
for the SEC require that public filers adopt?
2. From the PWC Webcast on XBRL, what are the differences between the “bolt-on” and
“embedded” approach to XBRL?
3. If you worked in the Finance and Accounting department of a company, how could you
use XBRL tags to help in your job? Could XBRL tagging help other functions in a
company do their jobs?
4. US public filers are required to begin tagging and reporting financial data using XBRL
beginning in 2009. From earlier in this course, they also have many major projects that
are required now or in the coming years (IFRS, Fair Value, etc.). Aside from the obvious
benefit of job creation for CPA’s and the companies which provide these
services/software ☺, what impact do you think these requirements are going to have on
companies? Will this divert attention and resources from their core business or will this
be like all other changes they go through (e.g. SOX), an intense implementation then

Name 1 Should Transportation Security Officers Be A.docxgilpinleeanna

Should Transportation Security Officers Be Armed?
It is the opinion of this writer that Transportation Security Officers (TSOs) should not be
armed. It is my intent to illustrate that point in this paper. During my research I will weigh the
advantages and disadvantages of arming TSOs, examining each side of the argument. I will also
offer a potential solution that while costly will still prove to be less costly than arming TSOs.
What has led to this discussion? For a majority of our society it takes years and certain
events to take place in our lives for change to occur. Those events include graduating High
School/College, getting married, or having children. In a matter of only five short minutes on
the morning of November 1st, 2013, some individual’s lives changed forever. On that morning
Paul Anthony Ciancia, age 23, opened fire in Terminal 3 of the Los Angeles International
Airport (LAX). His senseless acts killed a TSO, while injuring six other individuals. The
shooting has been debated over and over again on whether it is a terrorist act or not. The
activities before, during, and after the shooting will show the acts were certainly a terrorist
attack. But more importantly could any deaths or injuries have been avoided if the TSOs were
armed? These is the question that will continue to be debated and one that will be addressed in
this paper.
Synopsis of the event that led up to this argument:
Shortly after being dropped off at the airport by his roommate, Paul Ciancia pulled out a
rifle and began opening fire. He was carrying luggage that was filled with a semiautomatic .223
caliber Smith & Wesson M&P-15 rifle, five 30-round magazines, and hundreds of additional
rounds of ammunition ("Lax shooting suspect," 2013). Walking up to the TSA checkpoint,
Ciancia pulled out a rifle and opened fire hitting TSO Gerardo Hernandez in the chest. Ciancia

then apparently moved into the screening area where he continued to fire striking two other
TSOs and a male citizen. According to eye witnesses, Ciancia continually asked civilians if they
were TSA officers, when they said “no” he moved on without shooting them ("Lax shooting:
Latest," 2013). Ciancia made it as far as the food court some five minutes after the first shots
were fired. He was then surrounded by LAX police officers who engaged him in a gunfight.
Shortly after the gunfight ended Ciancia was taken into custody where he had to be transported
to a nearby trauma hospital for gunshot wounds (Abdollah, 2013).
In total eight individuals had to be treated at the scene. Four victims were treated for
gunshot wounds, while the others were treated for other injuries ("6 hospitalized after," 2013).
The sole suspect Paul Ciancia was carrying a note on him that stated he “wanted to kill TSA”
and describe them as “pigs”, the note also mentioned “fiat currency” and “NWO” ("Lax shooting

"Uncle Vanya"
“Man has been endowed with reason,
with the power to create, so that he can add to what he's been given.
But up to now, he hasn't been a creator, only a destroyer.
Forests keep disappearing, rivers dry up,
wild life's become extinct, the climate's ruined,
and the land grows poorer and uglier”
The play “Uncle Vanya” written by Anton Chekhov is a pearl of the classics of Russian literature. Anton Chekhov left a great legacy in a form of his plays and short stories for the classics of world literature. Without a shadow of doubt, this masterpiece, written by one of the most prominent the Russian playwrights of his time, should be read with further analysis and discussion. “Uncle Vanya” is a realist play and Chekhov tried to make its scenes as true-to-life as possible. Chekhov spent one year writing “Uncle Vanya” and introduced a number of changes between the years 1896 – 1897. The final version of his play is famous worldwide. The plot of the play narrates a heartbreaking story of how the main hero, Ivan Petrovich Voynitsky or Uncle Vanya that was a rather calm and quiet man undergoes a moral “rebirth” developing a spirit of a rebellion. Uncle Vanya, the main hero of the play, can be characterized as a bitter aging man who spent his life in toil working for his brother-in-law. Chekhov depicted the character of uncle Vanya as a misanthrope who recognized the miserable nature of other characters.
Moreover, Chekhov’s play also involves a number of other important issues that are experienced by the play’s characters. These issues include the feeling of pointless life lacking meaning, missed opportunities, and the most touching feeling of blind admiration. It should be admitted that Chekhov used to create hidden meaning in his plays to make the readers think critically not only of his work but of their lives either. Therefore, in the play, Chekhov made every character individualistic. For instance, the central character in the play, Uncle Vanya, cares about patrimony and the Serebryakov’s family’s property. Throughout the play, uncle Vanya finds himself dismissed and rejected without the right for an opinion. Chekhov also pointed out the suffering of other characters who struggle to change their lives for better. The play consists of a number of personal dramas that are interconnected.
It can be stated that Chekhov included a number of opposite lines in his play such as the choice between obedience or riot, feeling of admiration and disrespect. The following lines from the play demonstrate the feeling of disappointment and understanding the pointlessness of a situation: “”I’m mad — but people who conceal their utter lack of talent, their dullness, their complete heartlessness under the guise of the professor, the purveyor of learned magic — they aren’t mad” (Uncle Vanya). Uncle Vanya is concerned about the wasted years and the thought of how his life could look like in case he used the opportun ...

Overview: Financial Management Case Study
One of the important duties of a nurse leader is to manage personnel and personnel budgets. In this assignment, you will assume the role of a nurse manager. You will use given data to make important decisions regarding budgets and staffing.
Some nurse managers have computer spreadsheets or software applications to help them make decisions regarding budgets and staffing. You will only need simple mathematical operations* to perform the needed calculations in this assignment because the scenario has been simplified. Furthermore, some data have been provided for you that a nurse leader might need to gather or compute in a real setting. Still, you will get a glimpse of the complexity of responsibilities nurse leaders shoulder regarding financial management.
· To calculate the percent of the whole a given number represents, follow these steps:
Change the percentage to a decimal number by moving the decimal twice to the left (or dividing by 100).
Multiply the new decimal number by the whole.
Example: What is 30% of 70?
30%= .30; (.30) × 70 = 21
· To find out what percentage a number represents in relation to the whole, follow these steps:
Divide the number by the whole (usually the small number by the large number).
Change the decimal answer to percent by moving the decimal twice to the right (or multiplying by 100).
Example: What percent of 45 is 10?
10 ÷ 45 = .222; so, 10 is 22% of 45.
* You will only need addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Name:
Habitable Zones – Student Guide
Exercises
Please read through the background pages entitled Life, Circumstellar Habitable Zones, and The Galactic Habitable Zone before working on the exercises using simulations below.
Circumstellar Zones
Open the Circumstellar Zone Simulator. There are four main panels:
· The top panel simulation displays a visualization of a star and its planets looking down onto the plane of the solar system. The habitable zone is displayed for the particular star being simulated. One can click and drag either toward the star or away from it to change the scale being displayed.
· The General Settings panel provides two options for creating standards of reference in the top panel.
· The Star and Planets Setting and Properties panel allows one to display our own star system, several known star systems, or create your own star-planet combinations in the none-selected mode.
· The Timeline and Simulation Controls allows one to demonstrate the time evolution of the star system being displayed.
The simulation begins with our Sun being displayed as it was when it formed and a terrestrial planet at the position of Earth. One can change the planet’s distance from the Sun either by dragging it or using the planet distance slider.
Note that the appearance of the planet changes depending upon its location. It appears quite earth-like when inside the circumstellar habitable zone (hereafter CHZ). However, when it is dragged inside of the CHZ it becomes “desert-like” while outside it appears “frozen”.
Question 1: Drag the planet to the inner boundary of the CHZ and note this distance from the Sun. Then drag it to the outer boundary and note this value. Lastly, take the difference of these two figures to calculate the “width” of the sun’s primordial CHZ.
CHZ Inner Boundary
CHZ Outer Boundary
Width of CHZ
NAAP – Habitable Zones 1/7
Question 2: Let’s explore the width of the CHZ for other stars. Complete the table below for stars with a variety of masses.

Question 3: Using the table above, what general conclusion can be made regarding the location of the CHZ for different types of stars?
Question 4: Using the table above, what general conclusion can be made regarding the width of the CHZ for different types of stars?
Exploring Other Systems
Begin by selecting the system 51 Pegasi. This was the first planet discovered around a star using the radial velocity technique. This technique detects systematic shifts in the wavelengths of absorption lines in the star’s spectra over time due to the motion of the star around the star-planet center of mass. The planet orbiting 51 Pegasi has a mass of at least half Jupiter’s mass.
Question 5: Zoom out so that you can compare this planet to those in our solar system (you can click-hold-drag to change t ...

Hygiene Saves Lives
I. Intro: To give an informational speech about Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis
A) Attention getter – On each square centimeter of your skin, there are about 1,500
bacteria. That’s a lot of germs. According to a study conducted by Michigan State
University researchers, 95% of people do not properly wash their hands long enough to
kill the infection causing germs and bacteria (Jaslow, “95 Percent of People Wash Their
Hands Improperly: Are You One of Them?”).
B) Purpose Statement - That’s gross. While I can’t force you to wash your hands, perhaps
today I can help you realize just how much history and evidence is behind this crucial
bathroom ritual.
C) Thesis – Today, I will inform you all about Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis by discussing first
about his practice and studies, second about his scientific methods that saved a lot of
lives, and third about the germ theory we all take for granted.
II. BODY:
A) Main Point Number 1: To begin, I want to introduce Ignaz Philipp Semmelweis.
a) Ignaz Semmelweis became a physician and earned his doctorate degree in medicine
in 1844. This time period was known as the start of the golden age of the physician
scientist” (NPR.org). This means that doctors were expected to have scientific
training. Doctors were more interested in numbers and collecting data (Justin Lessler,
an assistant professor at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health).
b) In 1846, Dr. Semmelweis showed up for his new job in the maternity clinic at the
General Hospital in Vienna. Due to the time period, Dr. Semmelweis thought like a
physician scientist and wanted to figure out why so many women in maternity wards
were dying from childbed fever (Davis, “The Doctor Who Championed
Hand-Washing and Briefly Saved Lives”).
c) So what did he do? He collected data of his own. He studied two maternity wards in
the hospital. One was staffed by all male doctors and medical students, and the other
by female midwives. He tallied up the number of deaths in each ward and found that
women in the clinic staffed by doctors and medical students died at a rate 5 times ...

verse populations and less inclusive health care pro-
grams, cautioned Joanne Lynn, a senior research-
er with the RAND Corporation and director of the
Washington Home Center for Palliative Care Stud-
ies in Washington, D.C. “There isn’t a huge demand
for assisted suicide in good care systems, but there
could be a huge demand in much less adequate care
systems,” Lynn said.
Psychiatrist Linda Ganzini of Oregon Health and
Sciences University agrees that her state’s high-
quality system of palliative care is the factor most
responsible for keeping the number of assisted-sui-
cide cases low. “Your safety net is your end-of-life
care and your hospice care,” she said. “It’s not the
safeguards that you build into the law.”

The story of Terri Schiavo should be disturbing to
all of us. How can it be that medicine, ethics, law,
and family could work so poorly together in meet-
ing the needs of this woman who was left in a per-
sistent vegetative state after having a cardiac ar-
rest? Ms. Schiavo had been sustained by artificial
hydration and nutrition through a feeding tube
for 15 years, and her husband, Michael Schiavo, was
locked in a very public legal struggle with her par-
ents and siblings about whether such treatment
should be continued or stopped. Distortion by inter-
est groups, media hyperbole, and manipulative use
of videotape characterized this case and demon-
strate what can happen when a patient becomes
more a precedent-setting symbol than a unique hu-
man being.
Let us begin with some medical facts. On Feb-
ruary 25, 1990, Terri Schiavo had a cardiac arrest,
triggered by extreme hypokalemia brought on by an
eating disorder. As a result, severe hypoxic–ische-
mic encephalopathy developed, and during the sub-
sequent months, she exhibited no evidence of high-
er cortical function. Computed tomographic scans
of her brain eventually showed severe atrophy of
her cerebral hemispheres, and her electroenceph-
alograms were flat, indicating no functional activ-
ity of the cerebral cortex. Her neurologic examina-
tions were indicative of a persistent vegetative state,
which includes periods of wakefulness alternating
with sleep, some reflexive responses to light and
noise, and some basic gag and swallowing respons-
es, but no signs of emotion, wi ...

CLASSROOM EDITION
Chapter 17 International Trade
This article from the April2004 Wall Street Journal Classroom Edition offers a
broader view of a long-running trend in global trade: the movement of manufacturing
jobs to other countries. In "Two-Way Street," Journal staff reporters Joel Millman
and Norihiko Shirouzu explain that while many manufacturing jobs are indeed
streaming out of the U.S., some foreign companies are eagerly creating new manufac-
turing jobs in the U.S.
Before reading the article, you may want ro look up the following terms: proxim-
ity, incentives, rhetoric, value chain.
uBut free trade works both
ways, and just as U.S.
companies look overseas
for workers, a lot of foreign
companies have been
expanding their operations
in the U.S. and creating new
jobs for Americans. The
attractions for them are better
business conditions, proxim-
ity to the ever-expanding U.S.
consumer market, and the
promise of incentives that
many U.S. communities offer
to attract new investment.''
Free trade has hammered a lot of U.S. towns, making it easier for companies to send manu-facturing jobs south of
the border or overseas, and
idling hundreds of American
factories and tens of thousands
of workers.
But free trade works both
ways, and just as U.S. compa-
nies look overseas for workers,
a lot of foreign companies have
been expanding their opera-
tions in the U.S. and creating
new jobs for Americans. The
attractions for them are better
business conditions, proximity
to the ever-expanding U.S.
consumer market, and the
promise of incentives that
many U.S. communities offer
to attract new investment.
In 1999, for example,
Gruma, Mexico's largest pro-
ducer of corn flour and tor-
tillas, wanted to extend its
sa les territory in the eastern
U.S. The manufacturer found
that the quickest way was to
buy a rival, Barnes Foods, ven-
dor of the regional Pepito
brand in Goldsboro, N .C ..
After closing the $12 million
transaction, Gruma found something else: a com-
munity eager to offer incentives to persuade the
Mexican company to invest
millions more.
Within a year, Gruma
delighted Goldsboro by agree-
ing to buy an empty warehouse
the city owned outside rown.
The building had sat for four
years, after officials spent more
than $1 million trying to mar-
ket it as parr of an industrial
park. By promising to invest
$13 million locally, and add
100 jobs to Barnes's payroll,
Gruma got $200,000 chopped
off the building's sale price and
another $200,000 in grants to
defray infrastructure costs.
Gruma also received job-cre-
ation tax credits to offset
almost $200,000 annually
from its state corporate income
tax. Ultimately, the Mexican
company well exceeded the
n urn ber of new hires it
promised, tripling its Golds-
boro work force to nearly 200. ...

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

derivatives of both functions. What do you notice?
3. The relationship in the previous problem works for any
2. differentiable function with an
inverse. If f is differentiable at a point x0, then the derivative of
f
−1 at an appropriate
point should be 1/f ′(x0), if f

x− 1, then find and carefully sketch its inverse on the
same graph.
(b) Find the tangent line to the graph of y =
√
x− 1 at the point where x = 5.
Sketch the tangent line on your curve.
(c) What is the corresponding tangent line on the graph of the
inverse function?
What is its slope? You should be able to get this just by
thinking about the
geometry.
(d) Compute the derivative of the inverse function directly.
What input value must
you plug-in to get 1/y′(5)? (This is the slope you should have
found in the previous

4. The previous problem illustrates the following result: If f is
differentiable and has an
inverse on some interval I, and x0 is a point in I such that f
3. ′(x0) 6= 0, then f−1 is
differentiable at y0 = f(x0), and
(f−1)′(y0) =
1
f ′(x0)
.
Use this to determine (f−1)′(3) for the function f(x) = x3 + x +
1, without finding the
inverse first.

Location and description of project.
The Bayou Dupont Marsh Creation Project (BA-39) is located
adjacent to Bayou Dupont and
southeast of Cheniere Traverse Bayou, approximately 3.7 miles
northwest of Myrtle Grove,
Louisiana. Project features are located in Plaquemines and
Jefferson Parishes. The area lies
west of Louisiana Highway 23 and just north of the Myrtle
Grove Marina within the Barataria
Basin. The borrow site was located in the Mississippi River
between miles 63 and 65. Because
the borrow area was in the river, this project was located in both
Plaquemines and Jefferson
Parishes. The project area was accessible by boat only. See
Appendix Project Fact Sheet.
The Bayou Dupont project represented the first example of
pipeline transport of sediment from
the river to build marsh as a Coastal Wetlands Planning,
Protection, and Restoration Act
(CWPPRA) project. The project involved dredging sediment
8. from the Mississippi River for
marsh creation and pumping it via pipeline into an area of open
water and broken marsh west of
the Plaquemines Parish flood protection levee in the rapidly
eroding and subsiding section of the
Barataria land bridge. This project created marsh using
Mississippi River sediment as opposed
to hydraulically dredging material from within the Barataria
Basin.
Over six miles of pipeline ran from the river to the project area.
Permanent casing pipes were
jacked and bored into place to allow the slurry pipeline to cross
beneath the New Orleans and
Gulf Coast Railway and LA Highway 23. The dredged material
was contained primarily with
existing land features. Newly-constructed low containment
dikes were necessary along a portion
of the project area to create full perimeter containment. The
containment dikes were constructed
from in-situ soils. The contractor built internal training dikes as
necessary to improve
containment or dewatering of the fill containment areas.
Settlement plates were installed within
the fill area.
Increment 2 was added by change order to this task and created
additional marsh to the west of
Marsh Creation Area 1.
The original project was federally sponsored by the United
States Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) and the local sponsor was Louisiana Department
of Natural Resources (LDNR)
under the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection, and
Restoration Act (CWPPRA). It was on
9. Priority Project List number 12. Increment 2 work was
sponsored by NOAA, and was funded by
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) through
a grant administered by NOAA
with additional funding through the CWPPRA grant
administered by EPA.

2. Final, as-built features, boundaries and resulting acreage (use
attachments if necessary).
Approximately 25,935 linear feet of containment dike was used
to create approximately 484
acres of sustainable marsh in Marsh Creation Areas 1 and 2.
Increment 2 added approximately
84 acres of marsh for a total of 568 acres contained within
6,241 linear feet of containment dikes.
The railroad crossing had 95 linear feet of 48-inch casing, and
the highway had 194 linear feet of
10. 48-inch permanent casing.

of performance was 270 calendar days. Addendum Number 4,
dated November 6, 2008, added
30 days for a 300 calendar day period of performance and a

December 2, 2009. On March 26, 2009, the prescribed pre-
construction meeting was held at the
Belle Chasse Council Office Building. The contractor, Great
Lakes Dredge & Dock Company,
LLC, mobilized the survey party on April 2, 2009.
Project Site, Permit, Landowners
Per the Department of the Army permit, dredge pipe
installation, hydraulic dredging, removal of
the dredge pipe, excavation, and work over the levee was
limited to when the stage of the
Mississippi River was below elevation +11.0 feet NGVD 1929
on the Carrollton Gage at New
Orleans. The river was above 11.0 feet from April 10, 2009
thru June 21, 2009. The permit also
required that the work not impede nor interfere with navigation
on the Mississippi River and
required ongoing coordination with the River Pilots Association
and the United States Coast
Guard.
The project access road, West Ravenna Road, is owned by
Conoco Phillips. Conoco Phillips
held a meeting on April 9, 2009 to discuss the safety and
security. The security office required
the names of all personnel on sit. If an alarm was heard on site,
the Duty Sergeant must be
called. Before any welding could begin, fire extinguishing
17. equipment had to be on site, and in
the event of fire, the Conoco-Phillips representative must be
notified.

Access on West Ravenna Road is shared by multiple parties
including the owner, parish, local
property owners, and lessees. During August 2009, the road
was under heavy traffic by GLDD
and St. Bernard Parish. The Parish used the road to haul fill
material in dump trucks to the back
levee; while GLDD used it for equipment transport. The road
was in disrepair, and became
impassable due to heavy rains and the amount of traffic from
multiple contractors. The road was
repaired by the Parish and GLDD.
In Marsh Creation Area 2, there is a fifteen anode Shell Pipe
Line Rectifier Field with above-
18. ground boxes. The anode location is shown on the As-Built
Drawings, and the contractor
flagged off this area as a “No Work” area. A Shell pipeline
monitoring station is located over
the 20 inch pipeline near the intersection of West Ravenna Road
the flood protection levee. This
structure was protected during construction. In addition, the 20
inch Shell Oil pipeline runs
parallel to the existing flood protection levee on the fill side of
Marsh Creation Area 2. A Shell
representative had to be present or give approval when
equipment crossed the pipeline; and no
excavation was permitted within 50 feet of the pipeline.
Plaquemines Parish owns the flood
protection levee and excavation was not permitted within 100
feet except at the tie in location.
On the eastern enhanced spoil banks in Marsh Creation Two,
there are geotechnical
instrumentation stations. The cables to the peizometers were
damaged by the contractor’s
equipment running over the cables which required reparations
twice.
Pre-Construction Survey
On April 2nd, the contractor established survey controls and
began layout near the siphon. The
contract required the contractor to verify pipeline and waterline
locations prior to beginning
construction. The existing 10” and 20” water lines adjacent to
LA 23 were required to be
probed, located, and marked prior to construction. The edge of
the casing was to be installed at
least two feet below the edge of the water lines.
The borrow area magnetometer survey was performed by T.
19. Baker Smith on April 7, 2009. The
borrow area limits were approximately 1,000’ L x 6,800’ W,
and were located to the west of the
Mississippi River navigation channel. The marsh
preconstruction survey for transects 1 thru 26
was performed on September 1, 2009 and additional transects 27
thru 37 on August 20, 2009 in
August 2009.
Permanent Jacked Casing Pipe Crossings
The high river stage adversely affected the scheduling of
subcontractors to install the casings
under the road and railroad. The USACE permit restricted
excavation within 1,500 feet of the
levee when the Mississippi river was above +11.0 feet at the
Carrollton gage. As a result of the
anticipation of delay due to the USACE restriction, the
contractor experienced difficulties
scheduling subcontractors and a time extension was granted in
Change Order 3.

cofferdams. Giken began the sheet pile installation at the
railroad tracks on August 12, 2009 and
completed it on August 14, 2009. The rectangular railroad
jacking pit measured 15 x 36 feet,
and the receiving pit 9 x 15 feet. The Highway 23 jacking pit
measured 15 x 36 feet, and the
receiving pit 9 x 12 feet. The alignment of the highway
crossing was revised to avoid an
overhead power line pole, see Change Order Number One. The
New Orleans & Gulf Coast
Railroad and the LADOTD required compliance with standard
construction and material
specifications and the railroad also required a Right of Entry
Agreement. The pipe casings were
48 inch diameter, 0.625 inch wall thickness, and were typically
installed in ten-foot sections with
full depth welds at each joint.
Tomahawk Construction began excavating for the railroad jack
and bore pits on August 18,
2009. DRB began the railroad jack and bore on August 22,
2009 and completed it on August 30,
2009. A pilot hole was not utilized on the railroad jack and
bore. The alignment was corrected
during boring by the installation of a steering tab welded to the
leading edge of the casing and
the casing entered the edge of the receiving pit. The LA
Highway 23 crossing excavation began
on August 21, 2009 with the jack and bore beginning on
21. September 3rd. Due to the near miss of
the railroad jack and bore and the longer length of the Hwy 23
jack and bore, a pilot hole was
utilized. The contractor encountered difficulties with high
ground water. The movement of the
jacking equipment caused pumping action under the equipment
deck and destabilized the bottom
of the pit. This affected the alignment of the jacking equipment
and caused the casing to rise
above the planned grade in spite of the pilot hole. Equipment
had to be removed from the pit,
and a false bottom installed with a well point system to control
the water level. The failure of the
contractor designed shoring also caused the loss of the adjacent
survey monument and threatened
an adjacent Entergy power pole. Entergy officials were called
to the site and braced the power
pole. The survey monument was replaced at the contractor’s
expense by John Chance Land
Surveyors Inc. on May 4, 2010. Additionally, the
preconstruction survey failed to accurately
locate the underground water line which resulted in the 10 inch
water line being broken, which in
turn caused a void to form near the road shoulder. The
contractor pumped sand to fill the void
before proceeding. The water line was repaired by the
Plaquemines Parish Water Department.
During this process, the error in the pre-construction survey of
the elevation of this pipe was
discovered. The Contractor was able to raise the elevation of
the casing and still maintain the
required clearance under the waterlines. The casing was
withdrawn and reinstalled at the new
elevation. The casing installation at the highway crossing was
completed on October 27, 2009.
22. Dredge Slurry Pipeline Corridor
Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Inc. (GLDD) staged a temporary
marine access dock upstream from
the Naomi Siphon. The slurry pipeline from the Mississippi
River was placed over the
Mississippi Flood Protection Levee in accordance with the levee
crossing plan. Two different
types and sizes of pipe were utilized in the dredge slurry
pipeline. From the water’s edge,
longer pipe sections up to 160-foot lengths were welded
together to form a solid two mile section
to compensate for higher pressures experienced by the booster.
A subcontractor, SPI/Mobile
Works, was used to weld pipe. The remainder of the pipeline
was comprised of 40-foot lengths
of pipe flanged and bolted together. There were two temporary
levee crossings; one on the

Mississippi River Flood Protection Levee (MRL), and one over
23. the Plaquemines Parish Flood
Protection Levee. The east-west section of the dredge slurry
pipeline corridor near the Naomi
siphon is owned by the Plaquemines Parish Government. The
Parish allowed the contractor to
build a 40 car gravel parking lot in this area.
From the MRL crossing near the Naomi Siphon, the slurry
pipeline went over land to the New
Orleans and Gulf Coast Railroad Crossings and through the
permanent 48 inch steel casing pipes
that were previously installed at the railroad and LA Highway
23 crossing. The dredge slurry
pipeline continued westward to the north/south drainage canal
through land utilized for cattle
grazing. There were three cattle gates and four temporary
ramps to facilitate cattle crossings.
After crossing the north/south drainage canal, it proceeded
south to West Ravenna Road. A
gravel crossing was constructed at the junction with West
Ravenna Road and at driveways
serving the tenants. The pipeline followed the south side of the
roadway to the back levee.
Slurry pipe delivery began on May 27, 2009. The longer pipe
lengths of 30 inch diameter pipe
arrived by barge and were lifted over the levee by crane, while
the shorter pipe was delivered by
truck. The contractor’s staging area was east of LA Highway
23. The first 12,000 linear feet of
shore pipeline from the water’s edge was butt welded with a
greater wall thickness in order to
withstand higher pressure. The remaining 40-foot lengths were
flange jointed pipe appropriate
for lower pressure.
24. Access to the marsh creation site was initially through a private
boat launch owned by River
Rest, LLC hunting camp. As the fill material settled, vehicular
traffic could travel over the fill
site.
Containment Dikes
Wilco Marsh Buggies Inc. began containment dike construction
in Marsh Creation Area 2 on
April 20, 2009. The only area lacking an existing spoil bank
was on the south side of Marsh
Creation Area 2. This area required multiple passes to attain
the required 3.0’+/- 0.5’ elevation.
A longer reach excavator was needed to accommodate the
deeper water levels. A settlement
plate was set in the south dike on June 5, 2009. That plate
subsequently shifted and is not
considered viable.
After the contract acceptance period, the containment dikes and
enhanced spoil banks were
degraded or gapped to the same elevation as the marsh platform
in order to allow intertidal flow.
Gapping locations were determined by EPA/OCPR field
determinations based on the existing
topography.
Marsh Creation, Crossings
The material type was heavy sand and dredge production
required more dozers to move the
material than anticipated by the contractor. The dozers pushed
up the material into dikes at the
discharge to direct the flow. Material was pumped to the
required over-elevation, and then the
25. MISSISSIPPI

dozers spread the material. The rolligons were used to add or
move discharge pipe. The
contractor experienced difficulty in pumping material into the
existing marsh with vegetation
areas. The best practice was to pump around the existing marsh
areas and force the soft
displaced mud into the voids in the marsh. Sand was then
added, as needed, to push up the soft
material until it was to grade. The displaced material at times
did not support dozers to continue
building pipelines. As a result, the operational methods were
adapted to isolate the soft spots in
pockets surrounded by sand and bypass the marsh areas. The
cables to the peizometers in Marsh
Creation Two were damaged by the contractor’s equipment
running over the cables which
required reparations twice.
A land bridge was pumped across the canal for access to Marsh
26. Creation Area 1. Three 30 inch
CMP culverts were installed to allow tidal flow. River Rest,
LLC, a local land owner, submitted
a permit requesting that the land bridge be allowed to remain.
That permit was granted by Permit
No. MVN-2010-0422-EQ (attached for reference).
The remaining settlement plates and survey stakes were in place
by November 2, 2009. GLDD
submitted a settlement plate design that included a detachable
upper rod with a longer lower rod
for stability. See Appendix for approved settlement plate
submittal. The dredge began pumping
into Marsh Creation Area 2 on November 11, 2009, and
completed December 25, 2009. The
marsh creation fill target elevation was 2.0’+/- 0.3’ within the
earthen containment dikes.
Pumping into Marsh Creation Area 1 began on December 10,
2009 and was completed on March
15, 2010.
Dredging, Navigation
As the dredge moved northward in the borrow area, submerged
line was added. The contractor
used precautions for threatened and endangered species such as
the West Indian Manatee and
Pallid Sturgeon. The dredge pumped through a combination of
floating and shore pipelines
consisting of 5,000 linear feet of subline; 1,800 feet of pontoon;
and over six miles of slurry pipe.
Dredge setup was complete, and the dredge began to pump fill
material into Marsh Creation
Area 2 on November 6, 2009. The borrow area limits were
approximately 6,800’ W x 1,000’ L
feet, and were located to the west of the Mississippi River
27. navigation channel. The dredge made
two cuts approximately 2500’L x 250’W. It would spud over
and repeat dredging to a depth of
-76 feet to -80 feet.
In January 2010, the Crescent River Pilots Association lodged
complaints that the proximity of
the dredge to the navigation channel was causing one-way
traffic and a possible hazard. In order
to increase the area available for navigation past the borrow
area, Field Order Number 2 was
issued to relocate the borrow area approximately 350 feet
toward the west bank of the
Mississippi River.

The dredge encountered unknown obstructions that resulted in
28. failed equipment and lost time.
On February 9, 2010, the dredge struck a ship anchor chain
which caused the cutter section of
the ladder to detach. The Contractor performed a more
thorough magnetometer survey on the
revised borrow area on February 24, 2010.
Progress Surveys, Fill Quantities
During construction, process surveys for partial payment and
quality control were performed.
The survey baseline and transects shown in the plans were used.
All surveys were signed and
sealed by a licensed land surveyor. The contractor surveyed at
points every fifty feet along each
transect line. The contract required fill quantities to be
calculated by a method approved by the
Engineer. GLDD proposed a computer software program to
model pre and post construction
surfaces. These surfaces would be used for volume calculations.
Cross sections, plan views,
elevations, quantities and volumes, with surveyed dates on the
corresponding cells, were
submitted. Cell volumes were verified by average end area
calculations and supporting
calculations. Survey data points were used by OCPR to perform
an independent evaluation of
process surveys.
The use of grade stakes was discontinued after Marsh Creation
Area 2 because the stakes were
moved by the fill material and equipment. The contractor
utilized electronic surveying
equipment daily.
Increment 2
29. A second land bridge was pumped for access to Increment 2
from Marsh Creation Area 1. The
USACE permit granted to River Rest, LLC allowed this feature
to also remain in place. Wilco
Marsh Buggies began Increment 2 containment dike
construction on March 3, 2010.
Containment dikes were not needed on the north side except at
openings in the existing bank.
Before the containment dikes were complete, dredge fill
operations began. Sand was pumped
from March 13, 2010 till March 27, 2010. The target elevation
was not attained in an area on the
west side of Increment 2 because soft soil conditions. Dike
degradation was not necessary in this
area.
Project Completion
The contractor began demobilizing slurry pipe on March 28,
2010. After the slurry pipe was
removed, caps were welded to the permanent casing pipe. The
casings were filled with water,
and two railroad markers were placed. One on either side,
fifteen feet from the railroad tracks.
The contractor demobilized completely by May 10, 2010. Final
inspection was held on May 25,
2010. The initial As-built drawings were submitted on May 21,
2010. The drawings were
reviewed, and revisions were necessary. The revised As-built
drawings were received on August
23, 1010, and found to be acceptable.

8. Construction change orders and field changes.
There were four change orders and two field changes issued on
this project.
a. Change Order Number One was issued to reduce the length of
containment dike and
increase the length of pipe casing.
b. Change Order Number Two added Increment 2 to the project.
Increment 2 plans and
specifications, dated February 23, 2010 increased the contract
amount by $ 4,566,030.00
and added 75 calendar days. This work added approximately 90
acres of marsh creation
to the west of Marsh Creation Area 1.
31. c. Change Order Number Three increased the contract period of
performance by 48
calendar days because of the effect on scheduling
subcontractors for the pipe casing jack
and bore operations due to anticipated USACE work restrictions
on excavation within
1,500 feet of the levee when the Mississippi River is above
+11.0 feet at the Carrollton
gage; and lost time due to damage to the dredge ladder travel
block encountered when
hitting a large anchor chain while dredging. Total contract time
is 423 calendar days.
d. Change Order Number Four was written to reconcile final
quantities and charge for cost
of repairing Contractor damaged geotechnical instrumentation.
e. Field Order Number One allowed the Contractor to realign
the containment dike in
Marsh Area 2 to avoid possible conflict with the hunting camp
building. The containment
dike in the northeast corner will terminate at the 50 foot buffer
of the Shell Pipeline at no
additional cost to the owner and no contract time extension.
f. In order to increase the amount of area available for
navigation to pass in response to the
comments from the navigation industry, Field Order Number
Two relocated the borrow
32. area approximately 350 feet westward.
9. Safety and Accidents.
The contractor reported nine accidents during the construction
of this project.

11. Additional comments pertaining to construction, completed
project, etc.
The following comments were developed from the “Lessons
Learned Meeting” held January 5,
2011.
A “Lessons Learned” meeting was held on January 5, 2011 at
10:00 a.m. at the DNR Conference
Room. From that meeting, the following comments were
developed:
a. Good relations that were developed with Landowners and
Stakeholders during the
planning and development of this project were continued
throughout the project during
construction and facilitated resolution of construction related
issues.
34. b. The fill site was easily accessed from West Ravenna Road
enabling a lot of visitors to
view the site. Conoco-Phillips had very specific requirements
and restrictions for all
visitors. River Rest LLC required visitors to sign a “Hold
Harmless” agreement. Visiting
privileges need to be coordinated with the local landowners.
c. The definition for maintaining daily traffic should be
specified based on locality. The
Special Provisions should require pre-work video/photographs
that can be used for
comparison at the project close out.
d. During design, land owners should be consulted to determine
the type and locations of
utilities. Multiple departments within a single company, like
Shell Oil Refinery, need to
be consulted prior during design.

e. The deliverables for the Work Plan should be tailored for the
project, and become a living
document with updates added as appropriate. A schedule for
submissions should be
included so the appropriate documents are provided at the Pre-
construction meeting, with
additional submissions as work progresses.
f. The Special Provisions should be modified to mandate that
the Pre-Construction
conference follows the Notice-to-Proceed issued by State
Purchasing by a certain time
period in order to better schedule the work. Also, the definition
of “Starting Work”
should be added for clarity.
g. The Contractor should be required to submit a copy of all
subcontractor certificates of
insurance. The certificates should indemnify the local
landowners per the land rights
agreements.
h. The specifications should require the Contractor to furnish
the State a copy of all side
agreements with landowners that might affect any existing
36. agreements with the State.
i. Provide wage determination for compliance with Davis Bacon
requirements.
j. If the pay application has to be certified by the Contractor,
the legal implications need to
be defined.
k. The specifications should require the contractor to provide a
breakdown of costs for both
lump sum items and unit price items in order to insure proper
payment.
l. A Submittal Register that describes and classifies each item
required by the specifications
should be included. The classification provides the action
required for the item such as
“For Information Only”, or “Government Approval” required
for shop drawings,
certificates, design data, test reports, etc.
m. The designer shall specify grades, reports, certificates, etc.
required when citing industry
standards and standard specifications of other entities.
n. For Contractor-provided designs, the scope of work should be
defined in the
specifications.
37. o. The railroad permit appendix was missing some requirements.
p. The casing pipe detail does not account for the method of
sealing and filling the pipe. The
drawing should be updated to include the welding requirements,
cutting, and port
locations for filling.
q. The USACE has a restriction on work in/near the Mississippi
River when the river stage
at the Carrollton gage is 11.0’ or greater. Therefore, work that
is dependent on the river
MISSISSIPPI
RIVER SEDIMENT DELIVERY SYSTEM

should be scheduled to take advantage of historically low-river
season or additional time
38. provided in the contract period of performance.
r. The specifications need to account for both river and land-
based equipment during a
hurricane. Either the specifications need to dictate that the
contractor locate and provide a
point of refuge, or the plans and specifications need to give a
location and time table. In
conjunction, the Coast Guard restrictions need to be reviewed
regarding the newly
constructed surge barrier on the Inner Harbor Navigation
Channel (IHNC).
s. Consider spelling out the USACE & USCG regulations and
practices regarding high river
stage and how they will be dealt with contractually.
t. In periods of high-river, the Coast Guard can mandate that
equipment in the river be
moved. This brought up the navigation channel issues. The river
pilots customarily have
two-way traffic in this area, but were being forced to one-way
traffic while the dredge
was in the southern edge of the borrow area. The specifications
require the contractor to
submit a Notice of Intent to Dredge. Because of the proximity
of the dredge and the
anchor locations, the River Pilot Association expected daily
communication.
u. The transects used for survey were set at 500 ft offsets. This
39. was the “Pay Line” used by
the contractor, although he took many more elevation shots. The
contract should specify
the use of a finer grid for surveys.
v. The method for calculating fill quantities needs to mandate
the type of software, the use
of appropriate “breaklines” by the surveyor, and closer spacing
of survey pay lines.
Breaklines need to be defined. Transect geometry needs to be
provided by coordinates or
in a table. The designer needs to specify software currently in
use by the State for
compatibility with the contract requirements.
w. The specifications should mandate that the installation of
settlement plates be scheduled
with the surveys. The design of the settlement plates needs to
be updated to allow for
removal of the upright after installation.
x. Settlement in the fill area should be monitored to establish a
historical basis for future
work.
y. Grade states can be replaced with global positioning system
(gps) spot checks.
40. z. Magnetometer Survey requirements should be given, and the
format for the
magnetometer findings specified so the information may be used
for future reference.
aa. Some items of work require expertise in that field, and the
worker qualifications need to
be specified. For example, welders qualifications for the pipe
casing, the technician
qualifications for the specified software, surveyors, etc.

bb. The effort required to uniformly meet the target elevation
with a tight tolerance should be
explored for cost reduction. Consider alternatives to rigid target
elevation over the entire
area that would allow flexibility to deal with placement
41. capabilities and existing terrain.
cc. The containment dikes were gapped at natural depressions,
degraded to marsh elevation
in some areas, and left in place in the more vulnerable project
areas. This action was
completed to provide for tidal exchange while protecting the
perimeter from wave action
as the relatively cohesive native material of the dikes is more
resistant to wave attack.
The need for further degradation and gapping should be
evaluated in project out-years.
Consider including a "typical section" for "degradation" and
"gapping" in the plans.
Also, allow capacity in the fill area for placement of the
material generated as a result of
degrading and gapping the containment dikes.
dd. The plans should be modified to show “work limits” such as
the dredge slurry pipeline
corridor, the dredge path (including anchorage), the fill area
plus any “potential” marsh
creation areas with control points or dimensions.
ee. Continue practice of over permitting to allow some
flexibility at project boundaries for
unexpected conditions and events and to take advantage of
opportunities for
improvement based on existing local conditions.
42. ff. Ample amount of potential borrow area material is needed so
the contractor can leave
undesirable material and/or material around obstacles.
gg. The material characteristics of this borrow area allowed the
use of marsh buggies and
dozers in the fill area. If dozers cannot be used, marsh buggies
alone are more expensive
and result in less operating time for the dredge.
hh. When placing fill in areas of existing marsh, the heavier
sand tended to settle out and
material pumped up in these areas. The contractor had to
encapsulate the existing marsh
areas, and pump around the area in order to reach marsh
elevation.
ii. The 30-day waiting period between completion and final pay
survey should be shortened
because the contractor needs to demobilize equipment.
jj. The contractor should be required to submit red-line
markups, and the A/E will provide
the ACAD version.

The project is located adjacent to Bayou Dupont and
southeast of Cheniere Traverse Bayou in the vicinity
of Ironton in Plaquemines Parish and Lafitte in
Jefferson Parish, Louisiana. The general area lies
west of LA Hwy 23 and just north of the Myrtle
Grove Marina within the Barataria Basin.
Marshes in the project area have degraded to open
water with only scattered clumps of low-lying
vegetation remaining. Marsh degradation has
resulted from a combination of lack of natural fresh
water and sediment input, subsidence and the
dredging of oil and gas canals.
The proposed project involves dredging sediment
from the Mississippi River for marsh creation and
pumping it via pipeline into an area of open water and
broken marsh west of the Plaquemines Parish flood
protection levee. The material will spread over the
project area and be contained primarily with existing
land features. Newly-constructed low containment
dikes will be necessary only along a limited portion of
the project area. Native intertidal marsh vegetation
will be planted post construction.
The proximity of the project to the Mississippi River
presents a prime opportunity to employ a pipeline
delivery system that will utilize the sediment
resources from the river to restore and create
wetlands. Unlike most marsh creation projects that
involve borrowing fill material from adjacent shallow
water areas within the landscape, this project will
48. utilize renewable river sediment, thus minimizing
disruption of the adjacent water and marsh platform.
The Louisiana Department of Natural Resources (LDNR)
Coastal Engineering Division performed the engineering
and design services. Construction activities began in
April of 2009.
This project is on Priority Project List 12.
This project will help restore the highly degraded marshes of
the Barataria
Landbridge.
April 2009
Cost figures as of: April 2010
The Bayou Dupont project represents the first example of
pipeline transport of sediment from the river to build
marsh as a CWPPRA project. Results from this project
should serve to demonstrate the value and efficacy of
greater use of pipeline-conveyed river sediments for
coastal restoration.
