NAME OF APPLICANT: Lafourche Parish Government, c/o GIS Engineering, LLC, Attn: Mohan Menon, 450 Laurel Street, Suite 1500, Houma, Louisiana 70801.

LOCATION OF WORK: Located in Pointe Aux Chenes, Louisiana, along Bayou Point Aux Chenes and Oak Point Road, in Lafourche Parish, as shown on the attached drawings. This project is located in the Barataria Basin (Latitude 29.4494 N Longitude -90.4654 W, West Central Louisiana Coastal HUC 08090301).

CHARACTER OF WORK: The applicant is requesting an after-the-fact Department of the Army permit to construct an approximate 11,879-linear foot storm surge barrier in three different alignments along Oak Point Road. The proposed barrier consists of approximately 4,723 feet of Hesco baskets aligned in a single row on top of an existing levee and 3,227 feet of Hesco baskets arranged in a pyramid fashion with two baskets at the bottom and one on the top. The final alignment proposes to construct 3,929 feet of earthen berm barrier through the placement of dredged waterbottom material from Bayou Pt. Aux Chenes. Approximately 15,900 cubic yards of material would be dredged and placed as fill as a result of project implementation. Approximately 4.51 acres of jurisdictional wetlands would be permanently impacted as a result of barrier construction. 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 is proposing to compensate for the unavoidable impacts to jurisdictional wetlands through the purchase of mitigation credits at an appropriate Corps approved mitigation bank.
