MVN-1998-01340-2-CO

Published Aug. 2, 2018
Expiration date: 8/25/2018

NAME OF APPLICANT:  Greater Lafourche Port Commission, 16829 East Main Street, Cut Off, Louisiana 70345.

LOCATION OF WORK:  Within the Barataria Basin (HUC 08090301); located adjacent to and north of Flotation Canal, approximately 15.8 miles south of Golden Meadow, Louisiana, in Lafourche Parish.

CHARACTER OF WORK:  The applicant was authorized to dredge slips south of Floatation Canal and deposit the dredged material in a manner conducive to marsh establishment, in a 710 acres of open water.  The applicant is proposing to extend two tidal creeks, install an additional tidal creek, install two tidal inlets and install two fish dips to improve tidal influence in the interior marsh.  A total of 3,275 linear feet of tidal creeks will be excavated via marsh buggy.  Spoil will be placed adjacent to the tidal creeks in 100’ x 100’ sections spaced 20’ apart.  The depth of the spoil material will not exceed 6 inches above existing grade.  Approximately 12,762 cubic yards of native material will be excavated and deposited on-site to create/extend tidal creeks and tidal inlets.  Approximately 120 cubic yards of rip-rap will be relocated to construct the proposed fish dips.  Approximately 2.64 acres of marsh will be excavated to construct the proposed tidal creeks and tidal inlets, while spoil placement will impact approximately 9.4 acres of marsh.  It is anticipated that no compensatory mitigation will be required because the anticipated benefits of improving marsh health in this area will outweigh the detriments.

           The applicant has minimized impacts by placing gas in spoil placement and limiting fill to 6” in depth.  Additionally, during construction, best management practices will be implemented to reduce impacts to adjacent marsh.
