MVN-2007-01994-WNN

Published Aug. 11, 2014
Expiration date: 8/31/2014

Interested parties are requested to review the enclosed time extension and modification of the General Permit for dredging and the deposition of dredged and/or fill material for construction of oilfield roads, drilling locations, pits, ring levees, and associated facilities in jurisdictional waters of the U.S., including wetlands, within the boundaries of the New Orleans District.

 

The General Permit NOD-13 was originally issued on March 22, 1981, and has expired on December 31, 2012. The General Permit has proven to be an effective method to authorize certain projects within the New Orleans District in a timely manner without the need for a public notice and its related costs. Evaluating applications under the general permit procedures for projects that qualify because of their minor impacts allows for better use of personnel resources, yet still allows adequate impact review.

 

Proposed modifications to the (General Permit) NOD-13 include:

1.    Exclusion “j” is added to require written approval of certain parties for any work conducted under the General Permit on lands being used for compensatory mitigation purposes.

2.    Condition “d.3” is changed to reflect the current Corps regulation and policy regarding compensatory mitigation.

3.    Former condition “e” regarding prohibition of work in proximity to previously authorized facilities is removed.

4.    Condition “t” is changed to include control of invasive species on restored areas.

5.    Condition "y” is added to point out that all restored sites remain subject to Corps’ jurisdiction.

6.    Condition “z” is added to require additional consultation with this office if additional facilities, including flowlines/pipelines, are required.

7.    Condition “dd” is added to indicate that individual approvals under the General Permit allow 5 years to complete the project.
