Population status in the northern Gulf is summarized according to the following categories:

COMMON (C): A common species is one that is abundant wherever it occurs in the region (i.e. the northern Gulf).

Most common species are widely distributed over the area.

UNCOMMON (U): An uncommon species may or may not be widely distributed but does not occur in large

numbers. Uncommon species are not necessarily rare or endangered.

RARE (R): A rare species is one that is present in such small numbers throughout the region that it is seldom seen.

Although not threatened with extinction, a rare species may become endangered if conditions in its environment

change.

EXTRALIMITAL (X): An extralimital species is known on the basis of only a few records that probably resulted

from unusual wanderings of animals into the region.

Endangered Species Act (ESA) status is summarized according to listing status under the following categories:

ENDANGERED (E): Species determined to be in imminent danger of extinction throughout all of a significant

portion of their range.

THREATENED (T): Species determined likely to become endangered in the foreseeable future.

ENDANGERED POPULATION (E*): Breeding populations occurring off Florida are listed as Endangered,

however, elsewhere in the Gulf of Mexico, the species is listed as Threatened.

**Because MMS expects that the previous projection for the contribution from operational discharges from vessels

(estimated by the NAS to make up 47% of the total contribution to the World Ocean) will be reduced significantly,

no calculation is provided for this number.

Recommended mitigation techniques used to avoid or reduce adverse impact to wetlands by pipelines, canals,

dredging, and dredged material placement

Technique Decision Process Factors To Consider

Pipeline Construction

Avoidance 1. Route Selection and Location

Evaluation of potential routes that avoid

wetlands entirely

Shared ROW and Pipelines

Using all or part of an existing ROW would

avoid new impacts to wetlands

Length of route

Difficulty of the land for pipeline

installation i.e. access points, sediment

characteristics

Presence of other pipelines

Presence of transportation corridors

Density of surrounding developments

Number of different land owners

Minimization 1. Necessity of pipeline contents Environment function

Timing of the project

Previous pipeline installations

Availability of equipment

Location/route

selection

Early planning

Considering wetland type

Use of aerial photography as well as digital and

topo maps combined with field surveys to

identify route of minimal impact

Most routes are predetermined by the

beginning and end points

Flexibility within general route to locate

sections of pipelines to one side or

another to take advantage of upland

areas, existing ROW, etc.

Existing

ROW/Corridors

Plan routes paralleling existing pipelines (safety

issues)

Timing right to share section of pipeline

between or among users

Group pipelines in corridors where

impacts are limited to smaller areas of

coastal wetlands

Construction/

Installation

Methods depend on environment pipeline is

constructed

Flotation canals

Push-pull method

Single versus double ditching techniques

Directional drilling *

Choice of method has implications for

Type of impact

Access impact

Impact from specific equipment

Dredging

Dredge and other

Material

Disposal

Features associated with pipeline canals and

navigation channels

Avoid levees by:

Spray dredging

Levee manipulation/spoil bank removal

Canal backfilling

Navigation channels and some canals

must be left open for access

Impacts associated with spoil banks

include:

Soil compaction

Impoundment

Creation of upland vegetation

Dredge Material

Bank Removal

Identify areas to place dredge

Navigation channels

Canals that cannot be backfilled

Potential use for filling nearby old canal or

abandoned navigation channels

Off-site mitigation

Due to expense and difficulty in many

coastal areas only used in sensitive

areas

Levee

Manipulation

Dredge material should allow water to pass

through openings in the line of dredge

placement

Levees used as walkways and built from

material placed in a long line paralleling

the length of the project is detrimental

to marsh and should be built

discontinuous instead

Must maintain natural hydrologic pattern

Technique is post construction technique

where sections of dredge banks are

removed in order to restore hydrologic

flow
164 Central and Western Gulf of Mexico Multisale EIS

Table 4-63 (continued)

Technique Decision Process Factors To Consider

Spray Dredge Suggested and used to avoid completely the

creation of dredge banks

Spray dredging places material over a large area

of marsh surface at a depth that avoids

destroying vegetation or altering hydrology

Normally dredge is deposited

discontinuously and unevenly, enabling

the avoidance of sensitive habitats or

minimize spoil over small creeks

More costly than more traditional use of

the bucket dredge; most contractors

along the coast of GOM have not

invested in spray dredge technology

Canals and Channels

Backfill Suggested as a way to minimize impacts from

canals and to restore impacted habitats

Based on OCS permit information, this is the

most common required mitigation in recent

years

In Texas and Louisiana, a typical backfilled

Pipeline canal results in 75% reduction in direct

impacts to the marsh as compared to nonbackfilled canals (Baumann and Turner 1990)

Involves returning soil into the canal so

that the elevation is restored as close as

possible to pre-construction elevation

May occur on site for canal restoration, as

well as off-site as mitigation for other

dredging operations

Intended benefits of backfilling are:

Re-establishment of marsh vegetation in

the canal and on the re-graded spoil

bank

Restoration of marsh soils on bottom of

the canal

Wood

Chipping

A new technique unique to forested wetlands

Regulatory personnel believe the use of

windrows should be avoided.

Requirement for chipping on-site started

approximately 1992/93

Prior to 1996, trees removed for ROW

being pushed to the side created

windrows with the potential to act as

hydrologic barriers

Success of wood chipping remains

undetermined. Problems encountered:

Equipment not adapted to the function of

marshes

Equipment is expensive

Process is time-consuming

Erosion

Stabilization

Many impacts are from pipeline canals and

navigation channels

Stabilization of banks is critical

Lack of stabilization can result in slumping of

canal sides and blockage of natural

creeks/drainage streams

Erosion control measures are required

through the use of Best Management

Practices

Requirement is usually erosion

control./siltation fences

Revegetation Often required by permits

Extremely valuable to the acceleration of marsh

recover over first growing season

Most extensive data exist for the re-vegetation

of dunes, but through the use of directional

drilling, is not the concern as in past cases

Stabilizes shorelines, shore banks, and

areas surrounding stream crossings

where erosion is most likely to occur

Helps to reduce sedimentation and

erosion

Plugs/Dams Structures have been used frequently in order to

mitigate adverse hydrodynamic impacts and

accelerated erosion:

dams,

weirs, bulkheads,

rip-rap

shell/gravel mats,

biodegradable mats

Reduces erosion and provides barriers to

saltwater intrusion

Plugs maintain elevated marsh water

levels

Prevent salt water intrusion into lowsalinity marshes

Reduces tidal exchange thereby reducing

bank erosion

Erosion

Control

During

Project

Construction of pipelines and navigation

Channels is governed by the of Best

Management Practices and erosion control

during the construction phase is a requirement

Natural features of each construction site

should be identified for the necessary

erosion control
Tables 165

Table 4-63 (continued)

Technique Decision Process Factors To Consider

Timing of

Project

The seasonal timing of the project can minimize

impacts.

Avoid impacts to endangered species,

particularly bird breeding seasons

Expanding restrictions to ensure there

will be at least part of one growing

season for re-establishment of

vegetation before fall/winter has been

discussed, but dismissed for economic

reasons too industry

Restoration Can occur either immediately, post construction,

or many years after pipeline and navigation

canal construction

Backfilling of canals, resulting in levee

removal, has been a requirement for

most pipeline installation projects.

There is benefit to backfilling old canals

and navigation channels in order to

reduce or reverse the trend of wetland

losses in coastal Louisiana

Other options include the use of imported

material

Compensation Typically occurs through the creation of new

wetland habitat or through a cash payment to

the appropriate land management agency

Allows for the creation and restoration of lost

wetland habitat

In Louisiana, the payment for cash for wetlands

into a state trust fund is administered by

LADNR and is controversial

This fund has been in existence for several years

and has a significant accumulation of funds,

however, no creation projects have yet to tap

into it

In many cases not an option

Saline marshes have yet to be

successfully created, and finding

appropriate locations to create salt

marsh is difficult

Forested wetlands are also difficult to

compensate

* Trenchless, or directional drilling is the newest and favored technique in sensitive habitats. This technique is

considered to be extremely protective of sensitive habitats. Currently, directional drilling is required almost without

exception for crossing barrier island and shore faces. Impacts are limited to the access and staging sites for the

equipment. By using directional drilling, pipeline installation can occur without having to cut through shore facings

minimizing any erosion and surface habitat disturbance.

The Department of the Interior Mission

As the Nation's principal conservation agency, the Department of the Interior has responsibility

for most of our nationally owned public lands and natural resources. This includes fostering

sound use of our land and water resources; protecting our fish, wildlife, and biological diversity;

preserving the environmental and cultural values of our national parks and historical places;

and providing for the enjoyment of life through outdoor recreation. The Department assesses

our energy and mineral resources and works to ensure that their development is in the best

interests of all our people by encouraging stewardship and citizen participation in their care.

The Department also has a major responsibility for American Indian reservation communities

and for people who live in island territories under U.S. administration.

The Minerals Management Service Mission

As a bureau of the Department of the Interior, the Minerals Management Service's (MMS)

primary responsibilities are to manage the mineral resources located on the Nation's Outer

Continental Shelf (OCS), collect revenue from the Federal OCS and onshore Federal and Indian

lands, and distribute those revenues.

Moreover, in working to meet its responsibilities, the Offshore Minerals Management Program

administers the OCS competitive leasing program and oversees the safe and environmentally

sound exploration and production of our Nation's offshore natural gas, oil and other mineral

resources. The MMS Minerals Revenue Management meets its responsibilities by ensuring the

efficient, timely and accurate collection and disbursement of revenue from mineral leasing and

production due to Indian tribes and allottees, States and the U.S. Treasury.

The MMS strives to fulfill its responsibilities through the general guiding principles of: (1) being

responsive to the public's concerns and interests by maintaining a dialogue with all potentially

affected parties and (2) carrying out its programs with an emphasis on working to enhance the

quality of life for all Americans by lending MMS assistance and expertise to economic

development and environmental protection.
