Construction in EBR - Is there a website where I can find out what's going on?

Noticed an area near my house that was tagged as a "wetlands" area years ago. Today someone is out there clear-cutting the place.

I have no idea. It's the wooded area behind the Domino's on Old Hammond between Flannery & Millerville.

Maybe they are going to expand the Pines or whatever trailer park - might be putting Fema trailers there.

I know with wetlands you can have them "mitigated". Essentially you pay money to destroy the wetlands.

Strange place for a Redbox.

Dump debris and sheetrock there. No more wetlands.
Two birds with one stone.
I kid

Right. And the permitting process takes at least a year, possibly much longer, depending on the area. This happens all the time. Just because it's designated as wetlands does not mean that it cannot be built on.

Yep. From the Permits link there doesn't appear to be anything filed for that range of addresses other than work in the Azalea Park area across the road for flood damage.
Maybe the owner is just logging it?
Thanks for the assistance, all

You think a good ol baw might be trying to get away with not mitigating the wetlands?

No idea. There are no permits filed that I could see but they are clear-cutting out there.

A wetland enhancement, restoration, creation and/or preservation project that serves to offset unavoidable wetland impacts is known as wetland mitigation or compensatory mitigation. The ecological benefits of a mitigation project should compensate for the functional loss resulting from the permitted wetland impact. Compensatory mitigation activities may include, but are not limited to, onsite mitigation, offsite mitigation, offsite regional mitigation, and the purchase of mitigation credits from permitted mitigation banks.
wetlands mitigation means that you agree to replace the wetlands you develop with compensatory wetlands, one for one or thereabouts. you cannot develop wetlands without replacing them to the DEQ's satisfaction

Did you try digging around this site Permit search

But that rarely happens. The developers usually just end-up paying the mitigation costs.
