Intent To Prepare a Draft Environmental Impact Statement for Evaluating the Placement of Dredged and Fill Material in the Jurisdictional Wetlands on the Protected Side of the West Bank Hurricane Protection Levee, Jefferson Parish, LA

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), New Orleans District, at the request of the Parish of Jefferson, State of Louisiana, is initiating this study under the authority of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1251, et seq., and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), 42 U.S.C. 4321, et seq. In May 2000, the Parish of Jefferson, State of Louisiana, applied for a 404 Permit for the development of those areas deemed jurisdictional under the Clean Water Act which lie on the protected side of the West Bank Hurricane Protection Levee. The public notice was issued on June 19, 2001. The public comment period closed on or about July 29, 2001. As a result of the comments received and after consultation between the Corps and Jefferson Parish, it has been determined that an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) ought to be prepared.
