LOCATION OF WORK: The project would affect waters of the United States and navigable waters of the United States associated with Atchafalaya River. The project/review area is located on the East side of Louisiana Highway 3177, at Latitude North: 30.3245083°N, Longitude West: -91.6886027°W in the community of Butte La Rose, in St. Martin Parish, Louisiana.

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.

EXISTING CONDITIONS: The 27.33-acre site is situated between the Atchafalaya River and the West Atchafalaya Basin Protection Levee, off of Louisiana Highway 3177. The site contains two non-jurisdictional wetland areas, non-wetland waters, non-wetlands, and Section 10/404 jurisdictional wetlands. There is an existing access road and pad, which was previously authorized under MVN-2005-00611-WB. A tolling agreement was issued due to unauthorized clearing operations in Section 10/404 jurisdictional wetlands.

PROJECT PURPOSE:

Basic: Commercial

Overall: Sand mining operations for an existing facility.

DESCRIPTION OF WORK: The applicant requests authorization to conduct clearing operations within an approximately 294-foot wide by 774-foot long area for equipment storage, chipping operations within a 40-foot wide by 766-foot long area, sand mining operations within an approximately 94-foot wide by 766-foot long area along the Atchafalaya River, and placing approximately 4,444 cubic yards of dredged sand fill material within a 90-foot wide by 170-foot long by 9-feet high stockpile area, all for an existing sand mining facility. The stockpile area would be located in a non-wetland location. Approximately 5.49 acres of jurisdictional forested wetlands would be permanently impacted and approximately 1.82 acres of jurisdictional forested wetlands and 1.01 acres of non-wetland waters would be temporarily impacted via project implementation.
