- 9. Project Description/Overview
- The project consists of upgrading an existing pipe under Dolphin Drive and converting an additional 150 LF of open ditch to 21" RCP. The current pipe does not handle to current load of storm drainage, but opening up the pipe will further flood other property owners so it must be piped. The rest of the ditch also will be dredged to the outflow to the bayou in order to help alleviate water from homeowner property.
- 10. Project Goals/Objectives
- The proposed environmental objectives to be incorporated within this project, as described above, are to enhance and support the following projects objectives. • Protect the wetland marsh and the vegetative species and wildlife critical to the local ecology from damage occurring due to the discharge of trash and pollutants into the Mississippi Sound. • Provide a collection point for storm water filters that will treat the surface runoff to remove harmful pollutants. • Improve water quality from a watershed that directly impacts the Gulf of Mexico.
- 11. Which of the following authorized uses set forth in the GOMESA Act does this project fall under?
- (A) Projects and activities for the purpose of coastal protection, including conservation, coastal restoration, hurricane protection, and infrastructure directly affected by coastal wetlands losses
- Yes: Erosion control measures will be implemented during the construction phase to aid in coastal restoration, hurricane protection, and loss of coastal wetlands. The replacement of storm sewer structures throughout this development site will aid in hurricane protection and the installation of storm water treatment system will directly protect our coastal waters by removing pollutants and trash from the system discharge.
- (B) Mitigation of damage to fish, wildlife, or natural resources.
- Yes: This project will remove harmful pollutants and trash from entering storm water discharge pipes and would therefore directly improve our local water quality by keeping these pollutants out of the Mississippi Sound. Examples of the storm water pollutant filters are attached to this application.
- (C) Implementation of a federally-approved marine, coastal, or conservation management plan.
- (D) Mitigation of the impact of Outer Continental Shelf activities through funding of onshore infrastructure projects.
- 12. Project Timetable/Milestones
- Topographic Surveying: In Progress Engineering Design and Permitting: 4 Months Construction: 12 Months *Project Schedule attached to application
- 13. Project Timing
- Short-term
- 14. Current status of architectural/engineering plans & specifications for this project (if applicable):
- In Progress Funds Not Budgeted
- 15. In what way does this project meet the goals and objectives of the Department of Marine Resources, which includes enhancing, protecting and conserving the marine interest of Mississippi for present and future generations?
- This project meets several goals and objectives of the Department of Marine Resources. The improvement of water quality, erosion control, and decreasing pollutant discharges into the Gulf of Mexico will enhance, protect, and conserve the marine interest for present and future generations.
