MAINTENANCE DREDGE AN AREA CENTERED ON THE CLIFTON RIDGE MARINE TERMINAL DOCK, WITHIN THE CALCASIEU RIVER, IN CALCASIEU PARISH
NAME OF APPLICANT: Phillips 66 Pipeline, LLC, c/o GHD, 5551 Corporate Blvd., Suite 200, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70808.
LOCATION OF WORK: Located on the right descending bank of the Calcasieu River, at 2115 Davison Road, in Sulphur, Louisiana, in Calcasieu Parish, as shown on the attached drawings.
Latitude: 30.1568/Longitude: -93.3297Hydrologic Unit Code: 08080206 Lower Calcasieu.
CHARACTER OF WORK: Maintenance dredge the Clifton Ridge Marine Terminal Dock to allow vessels to dock without draft restrictions. Work will be conducted by a dredging barge. Approximately 50,000 cu. yds of dredge material will be hydraulically pumped from the berthing area to the dredge disposal area, via a temporary pipeline. The pipeline will float in the Calcasieu River and then parallel an existing drainage ditch on the land. The dredge disposal area was previously permitted and impacts mitigated for and the pipeline will only temporarily impact a 0.06 acre herbaceous wetland, thus no compensatory mitigation is anticipated.

thus no compensatory mitigation is anticipated.
The comment period for the Department of the Army Permit and the Louisiana Department of
Environmental Quality WQC will close 20 days from the date of this joint public notice. Written
comments, including suggestions for modifications or objections to the proposed work, stating
reasons thereof, are being solicited from anyone having interest in this permit and/or this WQC
request and must be mailed so as to be received 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 Application Number, and be mailed to the Corps of Engineers at the address above,
ATTENTION: REGULATORY BRANCH. Similar letters concerning the Water Quality
Certification must reference the applicant's name and the WQC Application number and be mailed to
the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality at the address above.
The application for this proposed project is on file with the Louisiana Department of Environmental
Quality and may be examined during weekdays between 8:00 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 not aware of any properties listed on the National Register of Historic
Places near the proposed project site. The possibility exists that the proposed work may damage or
destroy presently unknown archeological, scientific, prehistorical, historical sites or data. Issuance of
this public notice and specific notice sent to the State Archeologist and State Historic Preservation
Officer, solicits input regarding potential impacts to cultural resources.
The New Orleans District has determined that the proposed project is located in waters known to
be utilized by the West Indian Manatee (Trichechus manatus) and determined that the proposed
activity is not likely to adversely affect the species 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.
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.
This notice initiates the Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) consultation requirements of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. The applicant's proposal would result in the
destruction or alteration of 4.59 acre of EFH utilized by various life stages of red drum, reef fish,
coastal migratory pelagic, 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, Water Quality Certifications, 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.
