NAME OF APPLICANT: Acadian Gas Pipeline System, c/o Morris P. Hebert, Inc., 283 Corporate Drive, Houma, Louisiana 70360.

LOCATION OF WORK: Near the Intracoastal Waterway, approximately 10 miles west of Houma, Louisiana, in Terrebonne Parish in Section’s 38,39,40,47, and 48, T17S-R15E, within the West Central Louisiana Coastal Basin in hydrologic unit (HUC 08090302), as shown on the attached drawings.

CHARACTER OF WORK: The applicant has requested Department of the Army authorization to excavate and deposit fill, for the removal and possible abandonment of a six inch pipeline including supporting bulkheads and structures. The applicant’s objective is to cut and pull the pipeline buried under marsh from the open water areas preventing excavation of marsh. If this method fails the marsh will be excavated, pipe, removed and the area will be back filled and returned to pre-project conditions. There are areas where the land owner will not allow marsh excavation. If the cut and pull method fails, the pipe will be capped and abandoned in place. The pipe in all open water areas will be cut and pulled. Approximately 10,220 cubic yards of material will be deposited and backfilled and approximately 4.63 acres of jurisdictional brackish marsh and 1.71 acres of jurisdictional water bottoms will be temporarily impacted. All access will be by boat and barge on commonly used water ways.

The applicant has designed the project to avoid and minimize direct and secondary adverse impacts to the maximum extent practicable. The applicant has indicated that all impacts are temporary and will not require mitigation. If it is determined that efforts to return excavated areas back to pre-project conditions has failed mitigation will be assessed at that time. The applicant will then be required to secure mitigation credits at an approved mitigation bank in kind and within the watershed of impact.
