NAME OF APPLICANT:  St. John the Baptist Parish, c/o Environmental Engineering Services, Inc., 610 Belle Terre Boulevard, LaPlace, Louisiana 70068.

LOCATION OF WORK:  Within the Mississippi River Basin, in the Lower Mississippi River – Baton Rouge hydrologic unit (HUC 08070100), in the Mississippi River, approximately 139.3 miles above the Head of Passes, near Edgard, Louisiana, in St. John the Baptist Parish, as shown on the enclosed drawings.

CHARACTER OF WORK:  The applicant proposes to install a 14-inch pipeline via horizontal directional drill (HDD) beneath the Mississippi River to provide potable water and ensure water pressure for fire suppression systems to the west bank of the Parish.  The pipeline will originate at the east bank water treatment plant, cross Highway 44, and the Mississippi River levee. Approximately 205’ and 340’ of the pipeline on the east and west banks, respectively, will be installed via trench and backfill between the levee toe and HDD entry/exit point.  The proposed pipeline will then cross the west bank levee and end at the existing west bank water treatment plant.  Approximately 900 cubic yards of native material will be excavated and used as backfill during pipeline construction.  Approximately 0.03 acre of forested wetland will be cleared to allow for equipment access on the east bank.  Approximately 0.2 acre of maintained herbaceous wetland will be temporarily impacted by pipeline installation.  The site will be accessed via existing levee ramps.  Equipment will travel within a 20-foot maintained corridor along the levee toe to staging areas located within the existing maintained right-of-way.  No improvements are proposed for access roads or staging areas.  As compensation for unavoidable wetland impacts the applicant proposes to purchase wetland credits from a Corps approved mitigation bank located in the watershed.
