GUSTAV/IKE DISASTER RECOVERY PROGRAM
BOGGY BAYOU DRAINAGE PROJECT
FLOODPLAIN & WETLANDS EXPLANATION
The Franklin Parish Police Jury (FPPJ) intends to carry out actions which may affect or be affected by the 100-year floodplain and seeks to involve the public in the decision making process. The FPPJ is proposing to undertake drainage improvements on Boggy Bayou utilizing funding under the Louisiana Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. This project will consist of rechanneling, reshaping, and restoring approximately 40,000 LF (7.6 miles) of affected channel.
In accordance with Executive Order 11988, the FPPJ has determined approximately 70 acres of the improvements are within the 100-year floodplain. In accordance with Executive Order 11990, the FPPJ has determined that the chosen project footprint includes approximately 70 wetland acreage subject to USACE jurisdiction per a Department of the Army response dated May 27, 2011.
Practical alternatives to locating the proposed action in a floodplain and wetlands were identified and evaluated. For each of the following alternatives, various factors were considered including feasibility, technology, hazard reduction and related mitigation costs, and environmental impacts.
Alternative 1 – The proposed site is that of an existing drainage Bayou. The existing Bayou is a critical part of control of storm water for Franklin Parish. As such, the use of this particular location is critical to the drainage of Franklin Parish. As such, the alternative of relocating the project outside of the floodplain would fail to meet the needs of Franklin Parish and thus was rejected.
Alternative 2 – The FPPJ considered alternative methods to achieve the project objectives. Alternatives to the proposed project included the redesign of the existing channel in order to utilize only those portions of the Bayou which are outside of the 100-year floodplain. However, such an alternative would be significantly more cost intensive, creating a financial burden on the residents of the Parish. The proposed improvements of the existing bayou have been deemed the most cost-effective alternative to meeting the Parish’s drainage needs. As such, alternative project designs have been rejected.
Alternative 3 – The FPPJ considered a “No Action” alternative. The rationale for performing the proposed actions in Step 1 is to alleviate the issue of flood water in the Boggy Bayou and surrounding area. Taking no action would fail to meet the project objective of preventing further flooding in the target area. Failure to take the proposed actions would allow for continued flooding issues creating hazardous conditions, posing a public health hazard to the surrounding area, and further devaluing the affected residential/commercial properties. For these reasons, the “No Action” alternative was rejected.
In accordance with 24 CFR 55.20.g.1, the FPPJ has documented that there are no practicable alternatives to locating the proposed project in the floodplain and wetlands. Mitigation measures to be taken to minimize adverse impacts and to restore and preserve natural and beneficial values to the floodplain and wetlands include the rehabilitation of existing infrastructure with only minimal disturbance of the floodplain and wetlands in the immediate area. Construction activities will occur on the existing Boggy Bayou.
A full description of the proposed action may be reviewed at the FPPJ Office located at the Franklin Parish Courthouse, 6558 Main Street, Winnsboro, Louisiana 71295 on weekdays between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm. The FPPJ can be reached by telecommunications for the deaf through the Louisiana Relay Service at 1-800-367-8939 (TDD). Special accommodations should be requested 3 days prior to the meeting by calling (318-435-9429. Written comments will be received until June 29, 2011.

BOGGY BAYOU DRAINAGE PROJECT
FLOODPLAIN & WETLANDS EXPLANATION
The Franklin Parish Police Jury (FPPJ) intends to carry out actions which may affect or be affected by the 100-year floodplain and seeks to involve the public in the decision making process. The FPPJ is proposing to undertake drainage improvements on Turkey Creek utilizing funding under the Louisiana Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. This project will consist of 65,000 linear feet (12.3 miles) of channel reshaping, 261 acres of clearing, property repair, utility relocation, inlet pipe repair, and other ancillary construction activities.
In accordance with Executive Order 11988, the FPPJ has determined approximately 261 acres of the improvements are within the 100-year floodplain. In accordance with Executive Order 11990, the FPPJ has determined that the chosen project footprint includes approximately 261 wetland acreage subject to USACE jurisdiction per a Department of the Army response dated February 8, 2011.
