Title
A resolution authorizing the Chairman or the Secretary to offer a STRONG OBJECTION to SCF Marine Inc., MVN 2011-01569 EKK for a permit to deposit approximately 2,080 cubic yards of fill material for the construction of a 130' x 14' levee ramp and a 200' x 14' levee ramp, install and maintain a steel access ramp and four (4), 36" spuds to anchor the proposed floating dock, all for the purpose of servicing, repairing and cleaning barges and push boats. The levee ramps would be constructed from Highway 48 (River Road) to an existing ramp that extends from the top of the levee to the proposed steel ramp which would provide access to the proposed floating dock located on the left descending bank of the Mississippi River, at a point about 119.4 miles above Head of Passes, Destrehan, in St. Charles Parish, Louisiana.
