A portion of the work described below was started prior to obtaining a Department of the Army permit and was in violation of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. All legal issues concerning the unauthorized work have since been deferred. 

Character of Work: Clear, grub and grade an 11.58 acre area along with the deposition of 15,634 cubic yards of hauled-in fill material associated with the construction of 10 earthen levees and culverts for the purpose of creating a water management project, with the establishment and maintenance of forested wetland habitat that will also function as crawfish ponds.
