Ad Hoc Peer Review Committees
The Ad Hoc Peer Review Committees, as part of the Science and Technology (S&T) Program, ensure there is sufficient coordination between the needs of Louisiana Coastal Area (LCA) Ecosystem Restoration Plan Project Evaluation Team (PET) and the activities of the S&T office. The Ad Hoc Peer Review Committee will collaborate with each PET throughout the development of the Project Management Plan (PMP) and during the course of the feasibility study by providing an independent panel of experts to review matters such as economic and environmental analyses, engineering analyses, formulation of alternative plans, methods for integrating risk and uncertainty, and models used in evaluation of proposed projects.The Technical Support Team (TST), within the Ad Hoc Peer Review Committees, serves a critical role in engaging and representing the larger science and engineering community that has been actively involved in advancing the knowledge, understanding, and tools necessary to develop an ecosystem restoration program in coastal Louisiana. Technical Review Team members have been selected based on their expertise and their knowledge of the array of experts in their field that may be able to assist with LCA program and project needs. Specific roles of the TST include:
- Identify and recommend personnel that can provide the highest quality of science and engineering expertise to support activities of the PETs
- Identify and recommend details associated with scope of services that define the science and engineering needs of the S&T Plan
- Review and recommend processes and mechanisms to engage the highest quality of science and engineering expertise
