PUBLIC NOTICE Activity in a 100-Year Floodplain and Wetland To: All interested Agencies, Groups, and Individuals This is to give notice that Plaquemines Parish has determined that the following proposed action under the Louisiana Community Development Block Grant Program (LCDBG) is located in the 100- year floodplain and wetland, and Plaquemines Parish will be identifying and evaluating practicable alternatives to locating the action in the floodplain/wetland and the potential impacts on the floodplain/wetland from the proposed action, as required by Executive Orders 11988 and 11990, in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR 55.20 Subpart C Procedures for Making Determinations on Floodplain Management and Protection of Wetlands. The project consists of two new 20” waterlines in Plaquemines Parish. The first waterline is approximately 10 miles of 20” waterline along LA highway 23 from the Cedar Grove Booster Station located on LA highway 23 and Cedar Drive in Belle Chasse to the Alliance Booster Station located on LA highway 23 and West Ravenna Road in Alliance. The second water line is approximately 3.5 miles of 20” waterline along Port Sulphur River Road in Port Sulphur. The new waterline will span approximately from IGA Lane south to where Port Sulphur River Road terminates at LA highway 23. These two waterlines will increase water flow, pressure, and reliability of service to residents in these areas. Both waterlines are entirely within the 100-year floodplain and are partially within freshwater forested/shrub wetlands. There are three primary purposes for this notice. First, people who may be affected by activities in floodplains and/or wetlands 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 these areas. Commenters are encouraged to offer alternative sites outside of the floodplain/wetland, alternative methods to serve the same project purpose, and methods to minimize and mitigate impacts. Second, an adequate public noise program can be an important public educational tool. The dissemination of information and request for public comment about floodplains/wetlands can facilitate and enhance Federal efforts to reduce the risks and impacts associated with the occupancy and modification of these special areas. Third, as a matter of fairness, when the Federal government determines it will participate in actions taking place in floodplains/wetlands, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk. Written comments must be received by Plaquemines Parish at the following address on or before October 7, 2026: Plaquemines Parish Engineering & Public Works, 333 F. Edward Hebert Blvd Bldg 500 and (504) 934-6115. A full description of the project may also be reviewed from at the same address as above.
