NAME OF APPLICANT:  McNeese State University, c/o Arabie Environmental Solutions, Attn: Cleveland Hoffpauir, 510 Clarence Street, Lake Charles, Louisiana 70601.

LOCATION OF WORK:  Located within Contraband Bayou, in Section 19, Township 10 South, Range 8 West, in Lake Charles, Louisiana, in Calcasieu Parish, as shown on the enclosed drawings (Latitude 30.176989 N  Longitude -93.215819 W).  This project is located in USGS Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC) 08080206-Lower Mississippi Region.

CHARACTER OF WORK:  The applicant is proposing the installation and maintenance of erosion control improvements along the north and south banks of Contraband Bayou in an area between Ryan Street and Common Street.  A steel sheet pile retaining wall, concrete cap, intermittent paved concrete slope revetment, turf reinforcement mat and concrete block gravity retaining wall will be installed. Two pedestrian bridges and a utility bridge will be reconstructed to provide access to the university from adjacent buildings and parking areas. These current bridges are in poor structural condition and require replacement.  Approximately 10,000 cubic yards of existing concrete rip/rap debris will be removed and approximately 5,000 cubic yards of graded and/or hauled in earthen materials will be placed for slope improvements along the bayou banks.  In addition, 2,500 linear feet of sheet pile retaining wall with a concrete cap and 6,000 cubic yards of hauled in earthen material will be place for erosion control measures, as shown on the attached permit drawings.  No wetland impacts are proposed and therefore no compensatory mitigation will be required.
