NAME OF APPLICANT: St. James Parish Government, c/o: ELOS Environmental, LLC attn.: Basile Dardar, 607 West Morris Avenue, Hammond, LA 70403.

LOCATION OF WORK: Located within and adjacent to the existing M-2 Canal, north of LA 3125 and adjacent to the Gramercy Wastewater Treatment Pond, in St. James Parish, Louisiana, (lat. 30.07806, long. -90.71113), as shown within the attached drawings. (Hydrologic Unit Code 08070204, Lake Pontchartrain Watershed)

CHARACTER OF WORK: The applicant has requested Department of Army authorization to clear, grade, and fill jurisdictional forested wetlands and excavate and place permanent fill in non-wetland waters for the construction of earthen levees, three environmental control structures, and two pump stations to provide tidal protection to residents north of LA 3125 between Paulina and Gramercy. The applicant is proposing to permanently impact 30.44 acres of forested wetlands for the construction of the levee and impact 28.47 acres of non-wetland waterbottoms for the excavation of the M-2 canal and construction of the control structures and pump stations. Approximately 137,688 cubic yards of material will be excavated from the canal and approximately 238,559 cubic yards of a mixture of concrete, rip-rap, and clay will be discharged for the construction of the levee and associated tidal and flood control structures. The applicant has included a set of the drawings outlining erosion controls to prevent secondary impacts to forested wetlands immediately north of the project site. The operational plan outlines that the pump stations and water control structures will be closed and operational during high water events when the water surface elevation in the drainage system near the pump station reaches a 2.0’ elevation with a rising trend.
