PROPOSED MAINTENANCE DREDGING IN POINT COUPEE PARISH

NAME OF APPLICANT: Louisiana Generating, LLC, 112 Telly Street, New Roads, Louisiana, 70760.

LOCATION: Located at Latitude 30.73083, Longitude -91.35916, approximately 4 miles north-easterly from the town of New Roads, Louisiana, in Pointe Coupee Parish. The project is located within the Terrebonne/Barataria Basin, Hydrologic Unit 08070300.

DESCRIPTION: Department of the Army (DA) permit, MVN-1997-04517-WPP, was issued to Louisiana Generating, in 1998 and subsequently extended, to conduct annual maintenance dredging of between 150,000 – 300,000 cubic yards of silt from the Mississippi River at the coal unloading dock and water intake facilities of the Big Cajun II Power Plant. The applicant is requesting that the DA permit be reissued for the permitted activity, so that maintenance dredging at the coal docks and water intake facilities may continue when required. The main purpose of the permitted activity is to enable coal barges to ingress and egress to the coal dock unloading facilities and to keep water intake structures used for cooling water purposes from becoming obstructed from silt. The project does not include any proposed impacts to wetlands. All dredged material would be returned to the Mississippi River and pumped beyond the -55 foot contour.
