Early Notice and Public Review of a Proposed Activity in a 100-Year Floodplain To: All interested Agencies, Groups and Individuals This is to give notice that the Vermilion Parish Police Jury has determined that the following proposed action under the Community Development Block Grant - Disaster Recovery - Resilient Communities Infrastructure Program is located within a floodplain. The Vermilion Parish Police Jury will be identifying and evaluating practicable alternatives to locating the action in the floodplain area and the potential impacts from the proposed action, as required by Executive Order 11988, in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR 55.20 Subpart C Procedures for Making Determinations on Floodplain Management. The proposed project is located at 580 West Veterans Memorial Drive, Erath, Vermilion Parish, Louisiana. The proposed project entails the construction of a cold storage facility which will be an addition to the Twin Parish Port Commission's proposed Acadiana Regional Seafood Hub. The proposed location is a 2.0-acre tract of land located within the corporate limits of Erath. The structure will be approximately 6,300 square foot and will serve as a cold storage facility to service businesses and create retail opportunities for local fishermen and aquatic farmers. There are three primary purposes for this notice. First, people who may be affected by activities in floodplains and those who have an interest in the protection of the natural environment should be given an opportunity to express their concerns and provide information about this area. Commenters are encouraged to offer alternative sites outside of the floodplain, alternative methods to serve the same project purpose, and methods to minimize and mitigate impacts. Second, an adequate public notice program can be an important public educational tool. The dissemination of information and request for public comment about floodplains can facilitate and enhance Federal efforts to reduce the risks associated with the occupancy and modification of this special area. Third, as a matter of fairness, when the Federal government determines it will participate in actions taking place in floodplains it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk. Written comments must be received by the Vermilion Parish Police Jury at the following address on or before March 2, 2026 and may be submitted to Mr. Keith Roy, Parish Administrator, 100 North State Street, Suite 200, Abbeville, 70510. A full description of the project may also be reviewed during the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, at the Police Jury Administrative Office. Comments may also be submitted via email atmailto:townhall@henderson-la.com administrator@vppj.org. No action will be taken before that date. February 14, 2026

Supervisor’s Report: Mr. Eddie Lege • The long reach excavator is still working in Sagreraville. The crew has to pump the water down due to the heavy rain, so they can keep working. • We had some mowing before the rain, but now it is too wet. • The heavy rain was followed by a north wind and we could drain pretty fast. • We picked up the new Kabota UTV with a tank and it is ready to go.We are going to rig up the old one with a spray rig to use in places that are hard to get and spray. • We never received a bill from Sky Tech for the canals he sprayed for us. He sprayed 7 miles for us at $300/mile total bill $2100.00. We have to receive an invoice to pay him. I have called him and he has my mailing address. I am still waiting to get a response after calling him. • The 6150M tractor (Mower) is still at John Deere. They are waiting for the actuator which they are building and they are almost finished building it. I don’t expect to get it back until after the first of the year, due to the holidays. • Mr. Al Lee called and said the pipe we put does not look like it is draining. Meaux’s Ditch is high and we are waiting for it to go down. We went with the excavator and we found the front of the pipe with the flap they dug a hole in front but they can feel dirt in front of the flap. The crew is going to take a 2 3/8” tubing 12’ long and drive it in middle against the front of the gate to protect it. They will get closer and remove the dirt from the front of the gate. Meaux,s Ditch is about 8’deep and we need it to go down so the back pressure can open the flap. • Employee pay raises were brought up. Mr. Eddie Lege proposed up $150.00/month pay raise for all the employees.
