NAME OF APPLICANT:  ExxonMobil Fuels and Lubricants Company, c/o CK Associates, 8951 United Plaza Blvd, Suite 300, Baton Rouge, LA 70809.

LOCATION OF WORK:  Within the Mississippi River Basin, in the Lower Mississippi River – Baton Rouge hydrologic unit (HUC 08070100), in the Mississippi River, left descending bank, mile 232.2, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in East Baton Rouge Parish, as shown on the enclosed drawings

 CHARACTER OF WORK:  The applicant proposes to modify its existing maintenance dredging permit to increase the volume of accumulated sediment that can be dredged in the Mississippi River around and between the existing docks and the refinery.  Approximately 500,000 cubic yards of River silt will be removed per dredging event utilizing hydraulic suction dredging and jetting.   The 8.07-acre area located at the northern end of the dock is not always accessible with a hydraulic suction dredge.  In the event that this area is inaccessible, the applicant proposes to remove the accumulated silt with excavators, marsh buggies, and jetting.  Dredged material from the 8.07-acre area will either be disposed of in one of the two disposal sites located within the refinery or along with the remaining dredged material, below the -50’ contour. Approximately 56.54 acres of non-vegetated waterbottoms will be impacted by the proposed dredging.  Compensatory mitigation is not anticipated for this project, as no vegetated wetlands will be impacted.  Should compensatory mitigation be deemed necessary, the applicant will purchase wetland mitigation credits from a Corps approved mitigation bank, located within the watershed of impact.
