NAME OF APPLICANT: Grand Isle Marine Acquisitions, LLC, c/o: Blue Ox Enterprises, LLC, attn.: Mr. Gregg Hamilton, 2851 Johnston Street, Suite 1803, Lafayette, Louisiana 70503.

LOCATION OF WORK: Located in Caminada Bay at the Hurricane Hole Marina, at 1889 Louisiana Highway 1, Grand Isle, in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, (lat. 29.210914, long. -90.032523), as shown within the attached drawings. (Hydrologic Unit Code 080903010507, Caminada Bay-Frontal Gulf of Mexico).

The work described below was partially completed prior to obtaining a Department of the Army permit and was in violation of Section 301 of the Clean Water Act. All legal issues concerning the unauthorized work have since been deferred.

CHARACTER OF WORK: The Applicant has requested after-the-fact (ATF) authorization to clear, excavate, grade, and deposit fill for the Hurricane Hole Marina (marina) expansion. The marina expansion included the construction of a 555-foot long bulkhead and a parallel 0.50-acre wooden deck. The bulkhead was backfilled with sand and concrete material resulting in impacts to 0.55 acres of jurisdictional wetlands and
0.15 acres of Waters of the U.S. The unauthorized fill was used to connect the existing Hurricane Hole Marina to the adjacent Rickey’s Motel (motel) site which was originally permitted under MVN-2004-2021. The Applicant’s permit modification includes the motel site in order to bring MVN-2004-2021 into compliance which has an outstanding Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrative Order.

In addition to the ATF work, the Applicant proposes to haul in additional fill material for deposition into Caminada Bay to further expand the marina into 3.36 acres of Waters of the U.S. The fill material would be contained by a 2,535 linear foot bulkhead to allow for 15 additional 56 square-foot wharfs for vessel mooring.
