MVN 2006-00106-CF

Published May 11, 2020
Expiration date: 5/30/2020

NAME OF APPLICANT:  CITY OF BATON ROUGE, PARISH OF EAST BATON ROUGE , c/o CSRS, Inc., 6767 Perkins Rd., Suite 200, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70808

LOCATION OF WORK:  In South Canal, Latitude 30.605043, Longitude -91.138472, Baker, Louisiana, in East Baton Rouge Parish, within the Lake Pontchartrain Basin in hydrologic unit (HUC 08070202), as shown on the attached drawings. 

CHARACTER OF WORK:  The applicant has requested a Department of the Army authorization to clear, grade, excavate and deposit fill material in jurisdictional wetlands and other waters of the United States to realign and resurface McHugh Road and the installation and maintenance of embankment, drainage, and safety features. The realignment and resurface of the road was previously permitted under MVN-2006-0106-CX. No work occurred and the former permit is expired. The applicant has requested a modification of the aforementioned permit to include a culverted crossing over South Canal instead of the previously permitted bridge crossing. Additionally, the existing bridge crossing in South Canal is now being proposed to be demolished. Approximately 2,382 cubic yards of soil, 766 cubic yards of asphaltic concrete, and 1,846 cubic yards of soil cement would be hauled in and deposited in wetlands and other waters of the United States to achieve required grade elevation requirements. It is anticipated that the proposed action would have minimal impact on adjacent wetlands with the use of best management practices to control erosion.
