NAME OF APPLICANT:  EDWARD EARL COMEAUX, 58130 Randolph’s Drive, Plaquemines, Louisiana  70764.

 

LOCATION OF WORK:  Within the Bayou Jacobs channel near the intersection of Louisiana Highway 1 and Louisiana Highway 77, in Plaquemine, Louisiana, Iberville Parish, Hydrologic Unit Code 08070300(Lower Grand River), as shown on the attached drawings.

 

     The work described below was completed prior to obtaining a Department of the Army permit and was in violation of Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 and Section 301 of the Clean Water Act.  All legal issues concerning the unauthorized work have since been deferred.

 

CHARACTER OF WORK:  Cleanout a portion of Bayou Jacob, approximately 400 foot long by 125’ wide and 8 foot deep, to remove trash, dead trees and accumulated sediment.  Trash and debris will be hauled off and disposed of in an approved manner. Sediment will be placed on the adjacent non-wet areas and in a approximately 400 foot by 30 foot area along the shoreline to re-establish the area for future residential development.  Approximately 15,000 cubic yards of native earthen material will be removed from the old channel.  Project implementation would impact approximately 1.1 acres of other waters of the U.S.

 

     The applicant may be required to fully or partially restore the project site to pre-project conditions, if issuance of a permit is determined to be contrary to the overall public interest.
