In the economics of saving the coast, mitigation banks like Pardis, which is under the Links of London of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New Orleans District, create an incentive for restoring, creating, and preserving or enhancing wetlands. The Paradis Mitigation Bank was designed by ecologists, soils experts and a review team from the Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the state Dept. of Wildlife and Fisheries. "At this point, we're still deciding on a drainage system for Viet Village," Links of London Dice Charm said. The planned site is on soil called Kenner muck, which doesn't drain well, so the farm must be managed to prevent water logging. "We hope to break ground in early 2011, if we have all the permits," he said. At the design firm for Viet Village, Wes Michaels, principal of landscape architects Spackman, Mossop + Michaels in New Orleans, said "we've been working on plans for the farm since 2007, and during the permitting process have met with every, imaginable state agency, including the Departments of Environmental Quality and Agriculture. We met with city agencies, and on the federal level with the Army Corps of Links of London D Charm." He said if any problems are found in soil testing, they'll be addressed in the permitting process. Nguyen said "once the worries about permitting are over, we'll turn to other urban farming issues. The MQVN CDC has been trying for some time to get the city to enforce environment laws better." Regulations for landfills, illegal dumping and the Sun Energy Group gasification plant, which is less than 10 miles from Viet Village, all impact the farm. The MQVN CDC conducts campaigns on air quality that are relevant to agriculture, he said. Public health issues in urban farming, like West Nile disease, will be addressed. Links of London Classic Smiley Minx Charm said Viet Village will form a nucleus in New Orleans East, bringing area farmers together in one site to benefit from economies of scale for water, other inputs and waste composting.
