NAME OF APPLICANT:  Houmas House and Gardens, c/o Northeast Technical Services Company (NETSCo), 11700 Station Road, Columbia Station, Ohio 44028.

 

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 170.5, in Darrow, Louisiana, in Ascension Parish.

 

 CHARACTER OF WORK:  The applicant has requested authorization to clear an area in the Mississippi River batture to allow for construction of a facility for docking river cruise vessels.  The dock will connect to a viewing area on top of the levee and the Houmas House facility on the protected side of the levee.  The applicant will install seven 36-inch vertical piles, six 12-inch batter piles, four 24-inch batter piles, two 16-inch vertical piles, and sixteen 24-inch piles to support a series of four floating 14’x14’ platforms and five gangways.  Approximately 1 acre of vegetated wetlands will be temporarily impacted by staging and construction. Within the staging/construction corridor, a maximum of 1,613 cubic yards of riprap will be placed in the batture.  Upon completion of construction, the project will be restored to pre-project elevations and allowed to restore naturally.  An additional 190 cubic yards of riprap will be discharged in approximately 0.04 acre of open water around the pilings for revetment repair.  As compensation for unavoidable wetland impacts the applicant proposes to purchase wetland credits from a Corps approved mitigation bank located in the watershed.
