14. Consideration of adopting a resolution indicating objection/no
objection to the following proposed projects in Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana,
provided said work meets with the rules and regulations of the Corps of

(14.1) Proposal of Noble
Energy, Inc. to construct a 300-foot by 300-foot drill site for oil and gas
exploration at McManus No. 1 Well prospect.
The drill site will impact 2.1 acres of jurisdictional wetlands adjacent
to Sabine Lake. 933 cubic yards of fill
material will be required to construct a three-foot levee around the drill
site. The fill material used in the
construction of the levee will be imported to the drill site. Inside the levee, the applicant will place a
board mat to serve as a work platform during drilling operations. The site will use a closed loop mud system
during drilling. The proposed project
has undergone the Louisiana Geological Survey Geological Review in a
pre-application meeting, and it has been determined that there is no less
damaging feasible alternative. Said
project is located approximately 4.7 miles northeast of Sabine, Texas, in
wetlands adjacent to Sabine Lake in Cameron Parish, Louisiana. The proposed mitigation site is located in
an open water area just south of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway in Calcasieu
Parish. The Planning Staff
recommends that the Police Jury indicate no objection to this project
application.
(14.2) Proposal of
Chemical Waste Management, Inc. to clear, grade, excavate, fill, and install
appropriate liners, all to construct a 58-acre hazardous waste landfill cell
within a 152-acre development site at Chemical Waste Management’s existing Lake
Charles Facility. The landfill cell
will hold approximately 6,270,000 cubic yards of hazardous waste. Said project is located off of John Brannon
Road approximately 4.3 miles southwest of Carlyss. 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.

from the Louisiana Community Development Block Grant Program.
