NAME OF APPLICANT: Houston Energy Operating, L.P. c/o C.L. Jack Stelly & Associates, Attention: Tyler Oubre, at Post Office Box 53353, Lafayette, Louisiana 70505

LOCATION OF WORK: Between Billet Bay and Garden Bay, approximately six miles southwest of Empire, in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, as shown on the enclosed drawings.

Hydrologic Unit Code: 08090301 – Central Louisiana –Coastal

Latitude: 29.338344, Longitude: -89.723803

CHARACTER OF WORK: To dredge for access and install and maintain a 84’ x 271’ shell pad and 7’ x 16’ well head protector, requiring temporary impacts to approximately 160 acres of non-vegetated waterbottoms. Approximately 105,569 cubic yards will be dredged for the 16,706’ access channel and well slip and 843 cubic yards for the shell pad area, with spoil to be placed twenty-five feet from the channel so as not to decrease water depth by more than six inches. The well pad will require 2,529 cubic yards of shell be spread over 0.52 acres of non-vegetated waterbottom. Well placement will require temporary installation of 13 five-pile clusters and a drill barge, all of which will be removed once drilling is complete and the well head protector is installed. No adverse impacts to special aquatic sites are proposed; no compensatory mitigation is anticipated at this time.
