10. Consideration of adopting a resolution indicating objection/no objection to the following proposed project in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana, provided said work meets with the rules and regulations of the Corps of Engineers and approvals are received from all appropriate state and federal agencies, and further, that any required permits are obtained from the Division of Planning and Development:

(10.1) Proposal of Mayne & Mertz, Inc. to construct a ring levee to prepare a well site to drill and produce the Northwest Vinton Field – Richard Well No. 1. The proposed ring levee will measure 300 feet by 300 feet and will require the discharge of approximately 267 cubic yards of material into jurisdictional wetlands. The levee will measure two feet high by five feet wide and one-foot-wide crown and a 1:1 side slope configuration. All material used to construct the levee will be excavated from within the levee perimeter. A total of 2.1 acres of wetland habitat will be impacted as a result of the proposed activity. The site will be accessed by means of an existing limestone access road. If productive, the site will be restored to the minimum area necessary for production activities. Within 120 days of cessation of drilling activities, the well site will be degraded, and the site will be restored to pre-construction contours. To compensate for impacts to the wetland habitat, the applicant will purchase 2.1 acre-credits from an appropriate wetland mitigation bank. The applicant’s plans are enclosed in three sheets. Said project is located in wetlands, adjacent to Gum Gully, northeast of Toomey. The Planning Staff recommends that the Police Jury indicate no objection to this project application.

AGENDA NOTE: any resolution of no objection to any project, if adopted, will stipulate that such “no objection” is based solely on evaluation by the Parish Planning and Development Staff relative to the project’s compliance with current parish ordinances and provisions, and that no environmental assessment was made, and further, requesting the agencies and/or individuals with environmental expertise to make an evaluation and forward their findings to the U. S. Corps of Engineers.
