NAME OF APPLICANT: Entergy Louisiana, LLC c/o T. Baker Smith, Attention: Michael Trahan at Post Office Box 2266, Houma, Louisiana 70361.

LOCATION OF WORK: From Waterford to Churchill, Louisiana, in St. Charles and Jefferson Parishes, as shown on the attached drawings.

Hydrologic Unit Code: 08090301 – Lower Mississippi Region

From Latitude: 29.984478, Longitude: -90.474225 to Latitude: 29.883978, Longitude: -90.171415

CHARACTER OF WORK: To clear, excavate, and install and maintain fill to expand the existing Waterford Substation and construct a new 230kV electrical transmission line connecting the Waterford Substation in St. Charles Parish to the Churchill Substation in Jefferson Parish. Project implementation will require excavation of 1.16 acres of wetlands, fill of 1.11 acres of wetlands and 0.16 acres of non-vegetated waterbottoms, and clearing of 92.14 acres of forested wetlands. The anticipated overall length of the proposed route is approximately 27 miles and a total of 187 new structures will be constructed along the proposed Right of Way (ROW). The existing and proposed ROW will be utilized for construction activities, helicopters will be used for spotting structures in the ROW to limit passes with marsh equipment, and buggy passes will be limited to the least amount of passes possible to complete the necessary work. Cleared vegetation will be mulched/chipped and spread within the existing and proposed ROW in layers not to exceed 4" to minimize impacts to wetlands. Temporary matting will be used for pipeline crossings, levee crossings, near road crossings, and in temporary work spaces as needed. The applicant proposes to purchase credits from a mitigation bank to offset any unavoidable losses to wetland functions caused by project implementation.
