CHARACTER OF WORK:  Lake Charles Harbor and Terminal District (LCHTD) is requesting a modification to MVN-2013-02653-WII, issued on June 11, 2015.   On February 04, 2019 a public notice was issued advertising the original proposed plans for the modification.  After consideration of comments, site layout alternatives, and overlapping projects in the proposed modification review area, revisions were made to the original permit modification application.  The revised modification includes relocating the proposed facility footprint and a facility layout redesign needed to address additional energy needs for methanol production on site.  These measures are also being taken to the alleviate geotechnical limitations presented by the original authorized layout.  The previously approved drainage conveyance will also be shortened and relocated to address drainage concerns on site and upstream of the Big Lake Fuels Facility.  An additional 58 acre parcel immediately adjacent to the project area has been acquired by Big Lake Fuels, L.L.C. from the Lake Charles Harbor and Terminal District for the drainage easement, an equipment yard, the production facility flare, and a buffer zone.  To address the additional energy needs for the facility, a transmission right of way will be required to transfer the necessary power and natural gas.  The proposed project will impact 21.39 acres of wetlands and 6.3 acres of Waters of the United States.  Of the 21.39 acres of wetland impacts, 14.5 acres of bottomland hardwoods will be permanently converted to non-wetlands, 6.53 acres will be permanently converted from bottomland hardwoods to emergent wetlands, and 0.36 acres of emergent wetlands will be temporarily impacted.  The applicant has proposed to use a mitigation bank to offset wetland impacts.
