CHARACTER OF WORK:  The applicant is a Department of the Army permit authorization to clear, grade, excavate, place and maintain fill material for the construction of a new high school (Parker High School).   The proposed project would involve the construction of new high school facilities, sports fields and facilities, parking lots, 4 onsite detention ponds, and other appurtenances.  The proposed high school is to be located west of the existing Prairieville Primary School facility.  The applicant has claimed that the proposed project is needed to accommodate the future increase in the number of students in Ascension Parish.  Approximately 5.51 acres of jurisdictional wetlands and 0.55 acre of Other Waters of the United States (Black Bayou) would be directly impacted as a result of project implementation.  Approximately 5,298 cubic yards of native onsite material would be excavated from jurisdictional areas and placed as fill for the project during construction.  Approximately 12,001 cubic yards of clean soil material, 1,079 cubic yards of concrete, and 321 cubic yards of limestone material would be utilized as fill material and placed onsite.  Approximately 3.09 acres of jurisdictional wetlands would be avoided and not directly impacted as a result of project implementation.  The applicant has claimed that the project has been designed to avoid and minimize direct and secondary adverse wetland impacts to the maximum extent practicable.  The applicant is proposing to utilize best management practices during and after the construction phase of the project.  The applicant has stated that any unavoidable impacts to wetlands would be offset by the purchase of mitigation credits at a Corps approved mitigation bank.
