NAME OF APPLICANT:  Brian K. Queenan, 5555 North Perkins Ferry Road, Lake Charles, Louisiana 70611.

LOCATION OF WORK: Located in Calcasieu Parish, in Section 2, T9S, R8W, at 5215 Goos Ferry Road, near Moss Bluff, Louisiana, (lat. 30.302678, long. -93.159859), as shown within the attached drawings. (Hydrologic Unit Code 08080203, Calcasieu River Basin)

          The work described below was partially completed prior to obtaining a Department of the Army permit and was in violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act.  All legal issues concerning the unauthorized work have since been deferred.

CHARACTER OF WORK:  The applicant performed unauthorized clearing of 0.02 of an acre of jurisdictional forested wetlands, to construct an expansion of an existing shop pad at the existing residential camp.  The applicant proposes to install and maintain fill for expansion of a new shop pad in a 10' x 92' area, impacting 0.02 of an acre of wetlands.  The proposed work also includes installation of a 67' long bulkhead, a 15' x 67' deck, a 25' x 45' boathouse and approximately 25 cubic yards of backfill behind the bulkhead, impacting 0.07 of an acre of waters of the U.S.  A preliminary Louisiana Rapid Assessment Methodology analysis was completed for the project and determined the wetland impacts do not exceed the threshold for requiring compensatory mitigation, therefore, no compensatory mitigation has been proposed by the applicant at this time.
