The Parish will be committing Disaster funds, under the Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery Resilient Communities Infrastructure Program (CDBG-DR-RCIP) Funding, the Further Additional Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster Relief Requirements Act, 2018 (Pub. L. 115-123, approved February 9, 2018) in accordance with the Notice published in the Federal Register on August 30, 2019., to undertake a project known as the “Seymourville Community Drainage Improvements” The specific elements of this proposed project consist of approximately 2,000 l.f. of clearing, excavating and the installation of articulated matting or reinforced concrete rolls along with reinforced concrete pipe to improve conveyance, provide stabilization to existing ditch, prevent erosion, and reduce required maintenance. The Parish has determined that this site is indicative of the occurrence of waters of the U.S., including wetlands. There are three primary purposes for this notice. First, people who may be affected by activities in floodplains or wetlands 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 about floodplains and wetlands can facilitate and enhance Federal efforts to reduce the risks 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 and wetlands, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk. Written comments must be received by the Parish at the following address on or before April 8, 2026 at Iberville Parish Council, 58050 Meriam St, Plaquemine, LA 70764 and (225)-687-5190 Attention: Brittany Dupont, Director of Grants, during the hours of 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM.
