(Hydrologic Unit Code 08070300, Lower Grand watershed).

CHARACTER OF WORK: The proposed project is to restore, enhance, and preserve approximately 653.6 acres of bottomland hardwood forested wetlands. The purpose of the project is to establish a phased umbrella mitigation bank to provide compensatory mitigation for authorized impacts within jurisdictional areas per 33 CFR 332.3(1)(a-b) and LAC 43:724.
