ADDITIONAL PILINGS AT EXISTING FACILITY IN THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER IN ASCENSION PARISH
NAME OF APPLICANT: Impala Warehousing (US), LLC, c/o Providence Engineering and Environmental Group, LLC, 1201 Main Street, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70802.
LOCATION OF WORK: Within the Mississippi River Basin, in the Lower Mississippi River – Baton Rouge hydrologic unit (HUC 08070100), in the Mississippi River, left descending bank, mile marker 169.7, near Burnside, Louisiana, in Ascension Parish, as shown on the enclosed drawings.
CHARACTER OF WORK: The applicant has requested to modify their existing authorization to include the installation and maintenance of six 18-inch diameter batter piles and three 20-inch diameter batter piles to improve the structural integrity of the existing CBU walkway. Approximately 3,000 cubic yards of rip rap will be placed around the pilings when there is revetment present. Approximately 0.05 acre of open water will be impacted by the proposed activity. The applicant has minimized the impacts as much as practicable. No impacts to vegetated wetlands are anticipated, thus, no compensatory mitigation will be required.

public notice. Written comments, including suggestions for modifications or objections
to the proposed work, stating reasons thereof, are being solicited from anyone having

before or by the last day of the comment period. Letters concerning the Corps of
Engineers permit application must reference the applicant's name and the Permit

a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Copies may be obtained upon payment of costs of reproduction.
Corps of Engineers Permit Criteria
The decision whether to issue a permit will be based on an evaluation of the
probable impacts, including cumulative impacts of the proposed activity on the public
interest. That decision will reflect the national concern for both protection and utilization
of important resources. The benefit which reasonably may be expected to accrue from
the proposal must be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments. All
factors which may be relevant to the proposal will be considered including the
cumulative effects thereof; among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics,
general environmental concerns, wetlands, historic properties, fish and wildlife values,
flood hazards, floodplain values, land use, navigation, shoreline erosion and accretion,
recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality, energy needs, safety, food
and fiber production, mineral needs, considerations of property ownership and, in
general, the needs and welfare of the people.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public, federal,
state, and local agencies and officials, Indian Tribes, and other interested parties in
order to consider and evaluate the impacts of this proposed activity. Any comments
received will be considered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to determine whether
to make, modify, condition, or deny a permit for this proposal. To make this decision,
comments are used to assess impacts on endangered species, historic properties,
water quality, general environmental effects, and other public interest factors listed
above. Comments are used in the preparation of an Environmental Assessment and/or
an Environmental Impact Statement pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act.
Comments are also used to determine the need for a public hearing and to determine
the overall public interest of the proposed activity.
The New Orleans District is unaware of properties listed on the National Register of
Historic Places near the proposed work. The possibility exists that the proposed work
may damage or destroy presently unknown archeological, scientific, prehistorical,
historical sites, or data. Copies of this notice are being sent to the State Archeologist
and State Historic Preservation Officer.
Our initial finding is that the proposed work would not affect any species, nor affect
any habitat designated as critical to the survival and recovery of such species, listed as
endangered by the U.S. Department of Commerce.
The New Orleans District has determined that the proposed project is located in
waters known to be utilized by the pallid sturgeon (Scaphirhynchus albus) and
determined that the proposed activity is not likely to adversely affect the species. This
determination is based on the Standard Local Operating Procedure for Endangered
Species of Louisiana (SLOPES), dated October 22, 2014, between the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Ecological Services Office.
This notice initiates the Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) consultation requirements of
the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. The applicant's
proposal would result in the destruction or alteration of n/a acres of EFH utilized by
various life stages of red drum and penaeid shrimp. Our initial determination is that the
proposed action would not have a substantial adverse impact on EFH or federally
managed fisheries in the Gulf of Mexico. Our final determination relative to project
impacts and the need for mitigation measures is subject to review by and coordination
with the National Marine Fisheries Service.
If the proposed work involves deposits of dredged or fill material into navigable
waters, the evaluation of the probable impacts will include the application of guidelines
established by the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency. Also, a
certification that the proposed activity will not violate applicable water quality standards
will be required from the Department of Environmental Quality, Office of Environmental
Services, before a permit is issued.
Any person may request, in writing, within the comment period specified in this
notice, that a public hearing be held to consider this application. Requests for public
hearings shall state, with particularity, the reasons for holding a public hearing. You are
requested to communicate the information contained in this notice to any other parties
whom you deem likely to have interest in the matter.
You are requested to communicate the information contained in this notice to any
