Ascension Parish, Louisiana
Final Notice and Public Explanation of a Proposed Activity in a 100-Year Floodplain

To: All interested Agencies, Groups and Individuals

This is to give notice that the Louisiana Office of Community Development (LA OCD), in conjunction with Ascension Parish and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), has conducted an evaluation as required by Executive Order 11988, and in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR 55.20 Subpart C Procedures for Making Determinations on Floodplain Management and Wetlands Protection. The activity is funded in part under the Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) Program and Flood Mitigation Assistance Swift Current.

Ascension Parish proposes to elevate homes using funding under the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Swift Current Grant Number EMT-2002-FM-E001. The Louisiana Office of Community Development (LA OCD) is seeking additional funds to cover the Non-Federal share of the total project costs using Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) Program funding. The project activities include elevation of twelve (12) substantially damaged homes to two (2) feet above the base flood elevation (BFE). The proposed improvements will impact less than 1 acre of floodplain and have no impact to wetlands at the following locations:

1112 S Lexington Avenue, Gonzales, Ascension Parish, Louisiana 70737 (30.22421, -90.92776)
12249 Highway 73, Geismar, Ascension Parish, Louisiana 70734 (30.247015, -90.989430)
38040 Mistletoe Street, Gonzales, Ascension Parish, Louisiana 70737 (30.270165, -90.966291)

9294 Jeff Street, Gonzales, Ascension Parish, Louisiana 70737 (30.20483, -90.890529)

LA OCD and Ascension Parish have considered alternatives and mitigation measures to be taken to minimize adverse impacts and to restore and preserve natural and beneficial values: There is not a practical alternative location as these are existing homes and therefore the action must take place in a floodplain. The proposed action minimizes the impact of floods on human health, safety and welfare. The proposed action avoids long and short-term adverse impacts associated with the occupancy and modification of floodplains/wetlands. The action is not anticipated to have impacts on the surrounding 100-year floodplain. The proposed action will be compliant with state and local floodplain protection procedures.

LA OCD and Ascension Parish have reevaluated the alternatives to elevation of homes in the floodplain and has determined that it has no practicable alternative. Environmental files that document compliance with steps 3 through 6 of Executive Order 11988, are available for public inspection, review and copying upon request at the times and location delineated in the last paragraph of this notice for receipt of comments.

There are three primary purposes for this notice. First, people who may be affected by activities in floodplains 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. Second, an adequate public notice program can be an important public educational tool. The dissemination of information and request for public comment about floodplains 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, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk.

Written comments must be received by the LA OCD at the following address on or before July 24, 2024. A minimum 7 calendar day comment period will begin the day after the publication and end on the 8th day after the publication: A full description of the proposed action may be reviewed at the LA OCD Office at 617 N. 3rd, Baton Rouge, Louisiana on weekdays between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm or by calling Murilo Martins of LA OCD at (225) 219-0098.

Jefferson Parish, Louisiana
Final Notice and Public Explanation of a Proposed Activity in a 100-Year Floodplain

To: All interested Agencies, Groups and Individuals

This is to give notice that the Louisiana Office of Community Development (LA OCD), in conjunction with Jefferson Parish and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), has conducted an evaluation as required by Executive Order 11988, and in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR 55.20 Subpart C Procedures for Making Determinations on Floodplain Management and Wetlands Protection. The activity is funded in part under the Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) Program and Flood Mitigation Assistance Swift Current.

Jefferson Parish proposes to elevate homes using funding under the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Swift Current Grant Number EMT-2002-FM-E001. The Louisiana Office of Community Development (LA OCD) is seeking additional funds to cover the Non-Federal share of the total project costs using Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) Program funding. The project activities include elevation of three (3) flood-prone homes (including decks, porches, stairs) and install green infrastructure for storm water detention modifications. Homes will be elevated to the effective Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) +2 feet or higher if Sea Level Rise predictions exceed that number. The proposed improvements will impact less than 1 acre of floodplain and have no impact to wetlands at the following locations:

5161 Privateer Boulevard, Barataria, Jefferson Parish, Louisiana 70036 (29.6734, -90.1105)
4912 Anthony Lane, Barataria, Jefferson Parish, Louisiana 70036 (29.6857, -90.1019)
4971 Oleander Street, Lafitte, Jefferson Parish, Louisiana 70067 (29.7499, -90.1347)

LA OCD and Jefferson Parish have considered alternatives and mitigation measures to be taken to minimize adverse impacts and to restore and preserve natural and beneficial values: There is not a practical alternative location as these are existing homes and therefore the action must take place in a floodplain. The proposed action minimizes the impact of floods on human health, safety and welfare. The proposed action avoids long and short-term adverse impacts associated with the occupancy and modification of floodplains/wetlands. The action is not anticipated to have impacts on the surrounding 100-year floodplain. The proposed action will be compliant with state and local floodplain protection procedures.

LA OCD and Jefferson Parish have reevaluated the alternatives to elevation of homes in the floodplain and has determined that it has no practicable alternative. Environmental files that document compliance with steps 3 through 6 of Executive Order 11988, are available for public inspection, review and copying upon request at the times and location delineated in the last paragraph of this notice for receipt of comments.

Louisiana Office of Community Development
Tangipahoa Parish Swift Current Elevation Acquisition
Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana
Final Notice and Public Explanation of a Proposed Activity in a 100-Year Floodplain

To: All interested Agencies, Groups and Individuals

This is to give notice that the Louisiana Office of Community Development (LA OCD), in conjunction with Tangipahoa Parish and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), has conducted an evaluation as required by Executive Order 11988, and in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR 55.20 Subpart C Procedures for Making Determinations on Floodplain Management and Wetlands Protection. The activity is funded in part under the Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) Program and Flood Mitigation Assistance Swift Current.

Tangipahoa Parish proposes to elevate homes using funding under the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Swift Current Grant Number EMT-2002-FM-E001. The Louisiana Office of Community Development (LA OCD) is seeking additional funds to cover the Non-Federal share of the total project costs using Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) Program funding. The project activities include the elevation of six (6) flood-prone homes to the effective Flood Insurance Rate MAP (FIRM) +2 or higher if sea level rise predictions exceed that number. The proposed improvements will impact less than 1 acre of floodplain and have no impact to wetlands at the following locations:

46086 Kate Street, Hammond, Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana 70401 (30.5215, -90.5421)
43401 W. Pleasant Ridge Road, Hammond, Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana 70403 (30.4898, -90.4282)
1011 Varnado Street, Hammond, Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana 70403 (30.4907, -90.4733)
51447 Gullotta Lane, Independence, Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana 70443 (30.6052, -90.5060)
45188 Terral Road, Loranger, Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana 70446 (30.5107, -90.3037)
44415 Traylor’s Trail Road, Robert, Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana 70455 (30.4991, -90.3287)

LA OCD and Tangipahoa Parish have considered alternatives and mitigation measures to be taken to minimize adverse impacts and to restore and preserve natural and beneficial values: There is not a practical alternative location as these are existing homes and therefore the action must take place in a floodplain. The proposed action minimizes the impact of floods on human health, safety and welfare. The proposed action avoids long and short-term adverse impacts associated with the occupancy and modification of floodplains/wetlands. The action is not anticipated to have impacts on the surrounding 100-year floodplain. The proposed action will be compliant with state and local floodplain protection procedures.

LA OCD and Tangipahoa Parish have reevaluated the alternatives to elevation of homes in the floodplain and has determined that it has no practicable alternative. Environmental files that document compliance with steps 3 through 6 of Executive Order 11988, are available for public inspection, review and copying upon request at the times and location delineated in the last paragraph of this notice for receipt of comments.

There are three primary purposes for this notice. First, people who may be affected by activities in floodplains 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. Second, an adequate public notice program can be an important public educational tool. The dissemination of information and request for public comment about floodplains 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, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk.

Written comments must be received by the LA OCD at the following address on or before July 24, 2024. A minimum 7 calendar day comment period will begin the day after the publication and end on the 8th day after the publication: A full description of the proposed action may be reviewed at the LA OCD Office at 617 N. 3rd, Baton Rouge, Louisiana on weekdays between 8:00 am and 4:00 pm or by calling Murilo Martins of LA OCD at (225) 219-0098.
