NAME OF APPLICANT: National Property Holdings, c/o Caleb Bourgeois of Duplantis Design Group, PC, 16564 E. Brewster Road, Suite 101, Covington, LA 70433.

LOCATION OF WORK: Site on and north of LA Highway 75 in Sections 67 and 69, Township 9 South, Range 1 East, in St. Gabriel, Louisiana, within Iberville Parish, within the Pontchartrain Basin in hydrologic unit (HUC 08070202), as shown on the attached drawings (Latitude 30.226116 N, Longitude -91.081037 W).

CHARACTER OF WORK: The applicant has requested Department of the Army authorization to clear, grade, excavate and deposit fill and/or aggregate material to construct and maintain a rail storage yard (St. Gabriel Railyard 2) connected to the existing CN rail line to include stormwater infrastructure and appurtenant buildings. This project was originally advertised on public notice on October 12, 2021 and this is a readvertisement due to the additional proposed impacts to jurisdictional wetlands resulting from the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona’s order vacating and remanding the Navigable Waters Protection Rule (NWPR) on August 30, 2021. Approximately 71,619 cubic yards will be excavated and used on site. The proposed project is situated on an approximately 376.3-acre tract that has been determined to contain approx. 126.3 acres of jurisdictional wetlands and 4.5 acres of waters of the US on site. Of this, the project would impact approximately 21.1 acres of wetlands and approx. 0.03 acre of waters of the US.

The applicant proposes to avoid additional direct impacts and minimize secondary impacts to aquatic resources to the maximum extent practicable by utilizing best management practices for erosion and siltation control during and after the construction phase of the project, by limiting the construction activity to the designated construction areas onsite, and by disposing of all removed vegetation in a non-jurisdictional location. The project will be required to meet all established local and state standards for a development of this type including but not limited to drainage and stormwater runoff design conformity, industrial performance standards, and safety compliance measures. As compensation for unavoidable wetland impacts, the applicant proposes to mitigate in-kind wetland credits from the Pontchartrain Basin Umbrella Mitigation Bank, which is located in the project’s watershed.
