Three
datasets were produced under the cooperative agreement. One is a dataset
with all of the pipelines in Louisiana state offshore waters. Another is
a dataset with all the pipelines in Louisiana state offshore waters plus
all of the pipelines permitted by the Coastal Management Division in
the Louisiana State Coastal Zone (called the CZ Pipelines Dataset which
contains over 22,000 pipelines). The last is a dataset of the platform
locations in Louisiana state offshore waters.
The project was completed in August
2003, with a CD containing version 1 of the maps distributed in September
2003. Meta data files were included on the CD.
To obtain a copy of these maps on CD, one
must first contact the State Office of Homeland Security at:
Louisiana Office of
Homeland Security & Emergency Preparedness
7667 Independence Blvd.
Baton Rouge, LA 70806
Ph: 225-925-7500
Procedures for distribution of the pipeline
and platform data and maps have been established. Due
to heightened security, individuals and corporations who need the data and
maps must obtain approval from the Louisiana Office of Homeland Security before
their request can be filled by the
Department of Natural Resources. Requests for the data should state
the intended use and assurances that it will not be released, sold or
distributed to anyone outside of the company. Requests should be directed
to Colonel Jadwin V. Mayeaux of the Louisiana Office of Homeland Security
and Emergency Preparedness.
Pending a favorable security rating, the
Office of Homeland Security will forward the request to the Department
of Natural Resources with
instructions to send the CD.
For additional information regarding
distribution of the CD or the procedures and data used to develop the
maps, please contact Karl Morgan of the Coastal Management
Division at the DNR web site at
