The Dark Side of the Coming Infrastructure Boom

.

Louisiana and our nation can move forward into post-Panamax shipping without economic injustice and environmental racism. 

The people of St Bernard Parish should decide not an appointed port authority.

Residents want a vote on the land use decision and a vote on a renewal of the port property tax or restriction of use of the port property tax revenues to the existing Arabi port site; especially if residents are paying the port property tax to finance the destruction of their own community. 

Interested parties are hereby notified that a permit application has been received by the New Orleans District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers pursuant to: [X] Section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of March 3, 1899 (30 Stat. 1151; 33 USC 403); and [X] Section 404 of the Clean Water Act (86 Stat. 816; 33 USC 1344); and [X] Section 14 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. Section 408).

Application has also been made to the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality, Water Quality Certifications, for a Water Quality Certification (WQC) in accordance with statutory authority contained in LRS30:2047 A(3), and provisions of Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (P.L.95-17).
