Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries enforcement agents cited a Charenton man for alleged migratory game bird violations in St. Mary Parish on Sept. 27.

Agents cited Kaden Ashley, 23, for hunting ducks other than teal during teal season, hunting ducks without a federal duck stamp, hunting migratory game birds from a vehicle and public roadway, and violating non-toxic shot requirements.

Agents received a complaint about an individual who harvested several black bellied whistling ducks from a vehicle on a public roadway. During the investigation, agents learned that Ashley saw the ducks lining a roadway pond near Charenton and shot them with lead shot from the roadway out of his vehicle.

Agents seized three black bellied whistling ducks, a 12-gauge shotgun and his vehicle on a department seizure order.

All federal migratory game bird cases are filed with the U.S. Attorney’s Office for prosecution in Federal Court.

Agent participating in the case are Lt. Scott Dupre, Sgt. Jake Darden and Agent Harry Gaines.

PUBLIC NOTICE
Final Notice and Public
Explanation
of a Proposed Activity in a 100-Year/500-year Floodplain and/or Wetland Area
Town of Berwick 2023 LCDBG Street Improvements Program
To: All interested Agencies, Groups and Individuals
This is to give notice that the Town of Berwick has conducted an evaluation as re- quired by Executive Order 11988 and/or 11990, in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR 55.20 Subpart C Procedures for Making Determinations on Floodplain Management and Wetlands Protection. The proposed activity is funded by the Louisiana Office of Community Development under its small cities program. The Town of Berwick has been awarded a Community De- velopment Block Grant in the amount of $787,095 from the Louisiana Division of Administration. Grant funds will be used to address conditions of substandard streets in the Sixth Street area of the Town of Berwick. The portion of the street included in the project covers ap- proximately 1,695 linear feet. It is in place however; there is currently no roadway surfacing. Limestone is the existing surface. The improvements consist of scarifying and compacting roadbed to include lime and soil cement treatment, installation of asphaltic concrete levelling course and wearing course, installation of aggregate shoulder material, pavement striping, road signs, etc. The street will be reconstructed and will be retained in the same use. Coordinates of the center point of Sixth Street project area is approximately latitude 29.686157, longitude -91.224837 in the Town of Berwick, St Mary Parish, Louisiana.
The Town of Berwick has considered the following alternatives and mitigation measures to be taken to minimize adverse impacts and to restore and preserve natural and beneficial values: (i) The project involves the reconstruction of a street that is already in place and is located in or near the 100-year/ 500-year floodplain and/or wetland, (ii) It is not possible to relocate the project; it should be constructed without modification. This street is in place and will be re- tained in the same use without change in size or capacity, (iii) all available mitigation measures will be taken to minimize adverse im- pacts and to re- store and preserve natural and beneficial values. The Town of Berwick will comply with all state and local floodplain and/or wetland protection procedures during the implementation of this project.
The Town of Berwick has re- evaluated the alternatives to building in the floodplain and/or wetland and has determined that it has no practicable alternative. Environmental files that document compliance with steps 3 through 6 of Executive Order 11988 and/or 11990, 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 a floodplains and/or wetland area and those who have an interest in the protection of the natural environment should be given an opportunity to ex- press 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 a floodplains and/or wetland area 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 a floodplains and/or wetland area, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk.
Written comments must be received by the Town of Berwick at the following address on or before September 30, 2024: Town of Berwick, PO Box 486, Berwick, LA 70342 and (985) 384-8858, Attention: Duval Arthur, Jr. Mayor. A full description of the project may also be reviewed from 8:00am to 4:00pm at 3225 Third Street, Berwick, LA 70342. Comments may also be submitted via email at nws@townofberwick.org.
