Description
PUBLIC NOTICE
Notification is hereby given to the public of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Marketing Service’s (USDA, AMS) intent to lease existing office space in Destrehan, LA.
The area of consideration makes it susceptible to flooding at or above the 100-year flood level. Under the President’s Executive Order 11988, “Floodplain Management,” USDA is required to review the project for possible alternative solutions to the proposed action. The agency considered but found no practical alternatives, as the entire area of consideration is located within a high flood risk zone. FGIS has Federal employees working as ACG’s/ACT’s at export market locations loading vessel shipments that require mandatory federal inspections. This space handles 10 export locations in the area between Baton Rouge, LA and Myrtle Grove, LA as well as one location in Brunswick, GA, Rice Mills in Crowley, LA and Lake Charles, LA. This area is crucial to the success of the unit’s mission.
Public comment is invited on possible alternatives. Interested persons may obtain more detailed information about this action and its specific location from USDA, APHIS, MRPBS, Realty, Andrew Johnson, 250 Marquette Ave, Suite 410, Minneapolis, MN 55401; or by calling 612-336-3277 between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
