Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 9 / Wednesday, January 14, 2009 / Notices 2073 

into the protected Bayou aux Carpes 

area. The Corps stated that such a 

modification would result in significant 

cost savings to the government and 

would affect only a relatively small part 

of the area protected by the Section 

404(c) designation. EPA summarily 

denied that request and in 1988 the 

Corps modified the levee alignment to 

avoid discharges to the Bayou aux 

Carpes CWA Section 404(c) area. 

In 1992, Shell Pipeline Corporation 

requested that EPA amend the 

designation to allow the discharge of 

dredged and fill material to wetlands in 

the Bayou aux Carpes CWA Section 

404(c) area in connection with 

emergency reconstruction of a leaking 

pipeline. After notifying interested 

parties of the request via Federal 

Register publication and coordinating 

with the Corps and other agencies, EPA 

granted the request, publishing the 

decision at 57 FR 3757 (January 31, 

1992). EPA concluded that relocating 

the pipeline to non-wetlands was 

infeasible from the perspectives of 

engineering and public safety, and that 

the work would have only minimal and 

temporary effects on the wetlands at 

issue. 

The request noticed today was 

submitted by the Corps and is 

associated with proposed improvements 

to the West Bank and Vicinity Hurricane 

Protection Levee system. By way of a 

letter dated November 8, 2008, the 

Corps requested that the designation be 

modified to allow construction of an 

earthen berm and floodwall in an area 

disturbed by dredged material 

discharges predating the 1985 404(c) 

designation. The construction area is 

located along the west bank of the Gulf 

Intracoastal Waterway, or Bayou 

Barataria, from its junction with the Old 

Estelle Pumping Station Outfall Canal to 

a point at which the Corps proposes to 

construct a sector gate across the 

Waterway. As described in the 

modification request, the berm and 

floodwall would be 14 to 16 feet high 

and would occupy an area no greater 

than 4,200 linear feet by 100 linear feet. 

No more than ten acres of wetlands in 

the Bayou aux Carpes CWA Section 

404(c) site would be affected and other 

design and construction features have 

been incorporated to minimize impacts 

to the wetlands. 

The Corps is currently gathering 

baseline data to evaluate potential 

wetland mitigation options and other 

project features to improve the existing 

hydrology of the Bayou aux Carpes site. 

The Corps has committed to 

constructing those features if the 

analyses indicate that they would be 

ecologically beneficial. Discharges of 

dredged or fill material associated with 

such construction would require no 

additional modification to the CWA 

Section 404(c) designation, which 

contains an exception for approved 

habitat enhancement projects. 

Additional information on the Corps 

project and its relationship to the Bayou 

aux Carpes site may be found in the 

alternative National Environmental 

Policy Act document, known as 

Individual Environmental Report #12 

(IER #12), which is posted online at: 

http://www.nolaenvironmental.gov/ 

projects/usace_levee/ 

IER.aspx?IERID=12. 

The public hearing referenced above 

will be jointly conducted by EPA Region 

6 and the Corps. At the hearing, EPA 

will receive comments on the Corps 

request to EPA to modify the Bayou aux 

Carpes CWA Section 404(c) designation 

and the Corps will receive comments on 

IER #12. 

After considering all comments 

submitted, EPA Region 6 will transmit 

to the EPA Office of Water in 

Washington, DC, a written 

recommendation on whether the CWA 

Section 404(c) modification request 

should be granted or denied. The 

Assistant Administrator for Water will 

make the final decision and publish a 

notice of its availability in the Federal 

Register.
