NAME OF APPLICANT:  East Ascension Consolidated Drainage District #1, c/o Natural Resource Professionals, LLC, Attn: Gregg Fell, 7478 Highland Road, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70808.

LOCATION OF WORK:  Located along the intersection of Frog Bayou and Bayou Manchac, in Section 33, Township 9 South, Range 3 East, located along Bayou Manchac/Alligator Bayou Road, near Prairieville, Louisiana, in ASCENSION Parish, as shown on the enclosed drawings (Latitude 30.323369 N Longitude -91.018111 W).  This project is located in USGS Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 08070202- Amite River HUC.

CHARACTER OF WORK:  Install two (2) 10’ x 10’ x 75’ box culverts and appurtenant structures adjacent to an existing 6’ x 6’ x 75’ box culvert beneath the existing Alligator Bayou/ Bayou Manchac Road.  The drainage improvement project proposes to improve the conveyance of Frog Bayou into Bayou Manchac during flood events when Bayou Manchac is low enough to open the Frog Bayou box culverts and associated floodgates/sluice gates.  Approximately 0.054 acre of the 0.9 acre project site are located below the Ordinary High Water Mark of Bayou Manchac.  Approximately 900 cubic yards of native water bottoms would be excavated and ten (10) 20-inch x 20’ timber pilings would be installed for the two new box culverts.  Approximately 30 cubic yards of aggregate base, 80 cubic yards of concrete/asphalt, 300 cubic yards of native fill material, and 185 cubic yards of rip rap material would be placed as fill material for the project.  Sluice gate structures are proposed to remain open at all times except when the USGS Bayou Manchac gage is ≥ 5.0 feet NAVD 88.  The applicant has claimed that the project has been designed to avoid and minimize impacts as much as possible.  The project currently proposes impacts to Other Waters of the U.S. and, therefore, compensatory mitigation is not anticipated.
