ANNOTATION:   This paper describes the planning and design for restoration 
              of a portion of a natural scenic river, the Tangipahoa, 
              Tangipahoa Parish, LA, crossed by a gas transmission pipeline. 
              Topics include a cultural profile of Tangipahoa Parish, the 
              natural profile of the general vicinity of the project site, 
              and a design profile of the project. The design includes 
              planting trees, shrubs, and bank cover; shaping and grading 
              the river bank; installing an artificial irrigation system to 
              insure survival of seedbeds during early stages of succession; 
              biotechnical erosion control features; and creation of tree 
              islands. Construction of the project had not yet begun.
