Full Public Notice Project Plans

The applicant proposes to discharge fill material into 8.3 acres of emergent and scrub shrub wetlands during the construction of a ground flare, an access road, and one truss tower supporting a 459-foot-long pipe rack. The pipe rack is supported by four truss towers, each consisting of a series of nine driven concrete piles with a concrete cap. Only one truss tower is constructed in wetlands, resulting in a discharge of fill material. The access road and pipe rack will connect the proposed ground flare to a constructed ethane steam cracker unit within the applicant’s existing facility. The proposed ground flare, impacting 7.3 acres of wetlands, will be 453-foot by 478-foot in area at the base with a 1:1 slope to the flare deck which will be elevated to approximately 17 feet mean sea level (msl). A total of 4,300 columns/piles will be installed in the ground to support the flare. Approximately 126,500 cubic yards of sandy/clay material will be used for the flare base and an additional 15,900 cubic yards of grout will be used for the columns/piles. The access road, impacting 1.0 acres of wetlands, will be 30-foot-wide by 840-foot-long, and will connect the existing haul road to the proposed ground flare. An additional 50 feet on each side of the road will be temporarily required for construction. The access road will be graded to elevate from 9 feet msl to the 17 feet msl elevation of the flare deck. Approximately 420 columns/piles will be installed to support the earthen embankment of the road. Approximately 16,800 cubic yards of sandy/clay material will be used for the embankment and an additional 1,030 cubic yards of grout will be used for the columns/piles.
