Q463. Are sites in south Louisiana located within the State boundaries in lakes, bays, and bayous (not in Federal waters but subject to the ebb and flow of the tide) considered to be seaward of the terrestrial border and thus offshore?
A463. The definition for offshore in § 98.238 includes “lakes or other normally standing waters”, therefore, sites located in lakes, bays, etc are considered offshore.
