      "title": "Coastal Louisiana Ecosystem Restoration: The Recommended Corps Plan",
      "summary": "The 109th Congress may consider legislation that authorizes activities to counter the widespread\nconversion of lands (mostly wetlands) to open water in coastal Louisiana. In its final report on\nrestoring the coastal Louisiana ecosystem, released January 25, 2005, the U.S. Army Corps of\nEngineers (Corps) recommends congressional authorization of specific projects and general\nprograms to both slow the process of conversion and reestablish land at some converted sites. The\nCorps estimates that this entire package of recommended activities would cost a total of $1,996\nmillion. Included in this package are recommendations for immediate authorization ($1,123\nmillion), further authorized investigation ($145 million), and projects that could be authorized in the\nfuture ($728 million). This CRS short report is limited to a summary of this Corps report and the\nnext steps in implementation. It will be updated if Congress enacts implementing legislation. For\ngeneral background on the causes of land loss, the social and economic costs that result from land\nloss, and earlier programs and proposals to respond to it, see  CRS Report RL32673(pdf) ,  Coastal\nLouisiana: Attempting to Restore an Ecosystem . To follow the likely legislative process, see\nCRS Issue Brief IB10133,  Water Resources Development Act (WRDA): Army Corps of Engineers\nAuthorization Issues in the 109th Congress .",
