NAME OF APPLICANT:  Pelican Marine Services, LLC, c/o Lanier & Associates Consulting Engineers, Inc, Attn: John Maurin, 4101 Magazine Street, New Orleans, LA 70115.      

LOCATION OF WORK:  On the left descending bank of the Mississippi River at mile point 225, approximately 7.1 miles southwest of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in East Baton Rouge Parish (30.380694, -91.221777), within the Mississippi River Basin in hydrologic unit (HUC 08070100), as shown on the attached drawings.

CHARACTER OF WORK: The applicant has requested Department of the Army authorization to install 20 monopile dolphins which will include revetment penetration and repair, a limestone levee ramp, and a parking area for a new barge fleet operation consisting of ten tiers that include 4 barges each.  Approximately 1,000 cubic yards of rip-rap will be placed for revetment repair thus temporarily impacting approximately 0.1 acre of jurisdictional water bottoms.  A permit was issued at this site on March 5, 2015, with the same Corps permit number for a barge cleaning facility to Tubal Cain Marine. That facility was not constructed, and the permit was transferred to 306 Fleet LLC and modified to be a barge fleeting operation with a ramp and parking area.  The 306 Fleet, LLC permit was subsequently transferred to Pelican Marine Services, LLC on December 8, 2022.  The current request is for a time extension to perform work permitted under the last authorization for 306 Fleet, LLC.  It is anticipated that the proposed action would have no impact on adjacent wetlands. 

MITIGATION: The applicant has designed the project to avoid and minimize direct and secondary adverse impacts to the maximum extent practicable.  Any further reduction would limit usage of the property and, therefore function deeming the project impracticable. No additional wetlands or special aquatic site would be impacted by this project other than those that have already been permitted.
