NAME OF APPLICANT:  Ingram barge Company, c/o Lanier & Associates Consulting Engineers, Inc., 4101 Magazine St., New Orleans, Louisiana 70115.

LOCATION OF WORK:  Within the Mississippi River Basin, in the Lower Mississippi River – Baton Rouge hydrologic unit (HUC 08070100); in the Mississippi River, right descending bank, mile 184, near Modeste, Louisiana, in Ascension Parish.

 CHARACTER OF WORK:  The applicant has requested authorization to install and maintain a new fleeting operation to service the Geismar market.   The proposed fleet will contain four blocks of barges.  The first block will contain six tiers of 9 barges each.  The second block will contain seven tiers of 9 barges.  The third block will contain 10 tiers of 9 barges, while the fourth block will contain five tiers of 9 barges.  The three upriver blocks will be secured with spud barges, shoreline anchors and a safety anchor.  The downstream block will be secured by steel monopiles and a string of spar barges.  All shoreline anchors will be installed via barge mounted crane.  

To minimize impacts to wetlands, the applicant will install all structures from the waterway.  No wetland impacts are proposed.  Due to the lack of wetland impacts, no mitigation is anticipated.  If it is later determined that mitigation is required, the applicant will purchase wetland credits from a Corps approved mitigation bank located within the watershed.
