NAME OF APPLICANT: Chevron Oronite Company, LLC c/o GHD Services Inc., Attention: Daniel Wascom, at 5551 Corporate Boulevard, Suite 200, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70808.

LOCATION OF WORK: On the right descending bank of the Mississippi River, approximately 72.5 miles above Head of Passes, in Belle Chasse, Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, as shown on the attached drawings.

Hydrologic Unit Code: 08090100; Lower Mississippi River – New Orleans

Latitude: 29.808598, Longitude: -90.008426

The work described below was completed prior to obtaining a Department of the Army permit and was in violation of Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act and Section 301 of the Clean Water Act. All legal issues concerning the unauthorized work have been deferred.

CHARACTER OF WORK: To clear, excavate, and install and maintain fill, requiring temporary cantilevered sheetpile cofferdams and gravel and board roads, all to remove 127,000 cubic yards of filter cake material from the batture and dispose of it at an off-site landfill. The site will be restored with 132,000 cubic yards of approved fill material on the batture and 6900 cubic yards of rip rap where revetment is impacted. Project implementation will require temporary impacts to approximately 11.5 acres of bottomland hardwood wetlands for access and staging areas. These wetlands were cleared prior to authorization and will be restored following project completion. The applicant proposes to purchase credits from a mitigation bank to offset any unavoidable losses to wetland functions caused by project implementation.

The applicant may be required to fully or partially restore the project site to pre-project conditions, if issuance of a permit is determined not to be in the overall public interest.
