NAME OF APPLICANT: Port Allen Associates, c/o D&S Environmental Services, Inc., P.O. Box 510, French Settlement, LA 70733.

LOCATION OF WORK: Within the Lake Pontchartrain Basin (HUC 08070202), on and west of Crystal Lakes Drive, approximately 0.13 mile north of its intersection with Louisiana Highway 1026 (Lockhart Road), near Denham Springs, Louisiana, in Livingston Parish.

CHARACTER OF WORK: The applicant has requested authorization to clear, grade, and deposit fill on a 14.1-acre site to allow for construction of a 27-lot subdivision (The Lakes at North Park, 6^th filing) with appurtenant green space, driveways, storm water detention pond and ingress/egress. To provide a suitable substrate for the houses, approximately 1,665.13 cubic yards of earthen material, overtopped with approximately 371.3 cubic yards of soil cement base, which will be overtopped with 243.01 cubic yards of concrete. Approximately 0.28 acre of jurisdictional wetlands will be excavated to create the detention pond. All excavated material will be spread on site as fill. With exception to approaches of the storm water detention pond, all remaining green space areas will be filled with earthen material and seeded with the appropriate perennial mixture to prevent erosion, turbidity, and degradation of water quality in these areas during and after the construction phase. Approximately 1.24 acres of jurisdictional forested wetlands will be impacted by construction.

The project is designed to avoid 6.12 acres of wetlands. According to the applicant, the site has been designed to minimize impacts to wetlands to the maximum extent practicable for the site to comply with parish requirements and be economically feasible. To minimize impacts to adjacent property, the applicant will utilize appropriate best management practices (BMP’s) during and after the construction phase. BMP’s may include silt fences, hay bales, seeding, sediment check dams, etc. As compensation for unavoidable wetland impacts, the applicant proposes to purchase wetland credits from a Corps approved mitigation bank located in the watershed.
