The 2008 pilot project report: (1) contained draft maps that proposed modifications to 70 units of the John H. Chafee Coastal Barrier Resources System (CBRS) located in Delaware, Florida, Louisiana, North Carolina, and South Carolina; and (2) described the methodology and results of the pilot project and the feasibility, data standards and needs, and costs of completing digital maps for the remainder of the CBRS. The Service made the proposed pilot project maps and report available for public review and comment in 2009. The draft maps included in this report were superseded by the Service’s final 2016 report to Congress on the pilot project.
