(e) MAPS OF PROPOSED ACTIVITY

Louisiana is the only a f f e c t e d s ta te , f l i e r s are -*o p ipe l ines or other

f a c i l i t i e s i located on these Blocks.

Cf) TRANSPORTATION OF OIL OR CAS

These. Blocks l i e seaward of a po r t ion of the Gulf having a high

concentrat ion of o i l and gas production f a c i l i t i e s . Should a commercial

discovery r e s u l t , . i s l i k e l y that a p i p e l i n e ( s ) would be constructed to

l ink these Blocks wi th the e x i s t i n g system closer inshore and that processing

of any p o t e n t i a l hydrocarbon would occur i n the present onshore f a c i l i t i e s .

(3) DESCRIPTION OF AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT

(a) PHYSICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL

(1) Commercial Fishing

Commercial f i s h i n g i s an important economic a c t i v i t y o f f the Louisiana

coast. Menhaden, shrimp, u n c l a s s i f i e d i n d u s t r i a l b o t t o m f i s h , and reef type

fishes such as snapper and grouper are the major types sought. Almost a l l

of the ca tch l a taken over or along the edges of the shallow cc. " i nen t a l

she l f . Blocks 411 and 412 l i e beyond the c o n t i n e n t a l shelf on Li.e con t inen t a l

slope w i t h water depths i n the 180-250 fathom range (1,080-1,500 f e e t ) .

The only f i s h e r y l n the v i c i n i t y i s that f o r r o y a l red shrimp. This i s a

very small f i s h e r y and the Blocks l i e at the deep outer l i m i t s of t h i s

zone. Consequently l i t t l e or no commercial f i s h i n g i s expected over these

Blocks. No impacts to commercial f i s h i n g i n t e r e s t s are a n t i c i p a t e d .

(2) Shipping

Tne project Blocks l i e beyond the shipping fairways, transit zones,

and anchorage areas found along the northern Gulf coast.

2

Page 48: FEB 21'flM

( 3) Rc r i ea t lon

The distance from shore (146 miles) and the water depth (1,080-1,500

e4;t) shoul preclude anv rec rea t iona l use of these Blocks.

(4) C u l t u r a l Resources

These Blocks l i e beyond the zone where c u l t u r a l resource evaluat ions

are required.

(5) Eco log ica l l y Sens l t lv" Features

No e c o l o g i c a l l y sens i t ive features have been I d e n t i f i e d e i t h e r on or i n

the immediate v i c i n i t y of the p ro j ec t Blocks.

(6) P ipe l ines and Cables

No p i p e l i n e s or cables have been i d e n t i f i e d on these Blocks.

(7) Other Minerals

There are no known plans at t h i a t i .e f o r the development of minerals

other than hydrocarbons on these Blocks.

(8) Ocean Dumping

Ocean dumping la p roh ib i t ed l n t h i s area.

(9) Endangered or Threatened Species

The coaa ta i waters o f f Louiaiana are u t i l i z e d to some degree by f i v e

endangered speciea of whales, three endangered species of aea t u r t l e s , and

I'JO threatened speciea of sea t u r t l e s . The endangered speciea are the blue

whale, sei whale, sperm whale, f inback whale, humpback whale, A t l a n t i c

r i d l e y t u r t l e , hawkabl l l t u r t l e , and leatherback t u r t l e . Threatened species

Include the loggerhead and green sea t u r t l e s . Of the whale species, the

sperm whale i a perhaps the most common l n the Cul f of Mexico and the blue

whale the leas t conmon, w i t h only two a ight inga of the l a t t e r having been

reported. The other three sp-ciea of whales may be coraaidered uncommon

in the Culf, although the humpback was once hunted commercially in the

central Gulf during the 19th. Century (Schmidly, 1981). The leatherback

is believed to prefer the deeper oceanic w.i T S while the other species cf

t u r t l e s are .cons idered more coastal iu n u t n a . Consequently, the leatherback

is the onlv t u r t l e l i k e l y to be encountered in the v i c i n i t y of the Blocks.

Most of the recei.c whale sig^t'ngs in the Cn f have been made In the general

v i c i n i t y of the project Blocks, so w.r les ma > be present in the gereral area.

General over exploi ion of both t u r t l e and whales for food and other

producto has been p r i m a r i l y responsible for th tr decline. A few nations

s t i l l harvest whiles and t u r t l e s are caught in n <ny parts of the world. Turtles

are often k i l l e d when trapped i n f i s h i n g gear and are unable to surface for

a i r . T u r t l e nesting grounds are subject to harvesting a c t i v i t i e s f o r both

t u r t l e s and eggs and general disturbance of nesting a c t i v i t i e s . New evidence

indicates that t u r t l e s are being k i l l e d through the ingestion j f p l a s t i c t r a s h ,

that when f l o a t i n g i n the water resembles j e l l y f i s h (a f a v o r i t e t u r t l e food).

D r i v i n g and support vesae.i a c t i v i t y may cause a temporary and l i m i t e d

disturbance or any t u r t l e or whale in the v i c i n i t y . However, no s c i e n t i f i c

evidence has been found that indicates that t h i s type of disturbance has been

responsible f o r population declines of these species. No s i g n i f i c a n t impacts

i r e expected LO endangered or threatened specie; irom the exploratc y d r i l l i n g

(4) UNAVOIDABLE ADVERSE IMPACTS

i

Callaway (! 981) completed an extensive review of petroleum related

j j p t r a t i o n s i n the'Texas-Louisiana continental shelf region. Potential

negative impacts addressed by him were discharge of d r i l l c u t t i n g s ,

d r i l l i n g f l u i d s , o i l s p i l l s , and pioduced formation waters.

D r i l l c u t t i n g s are small fragments, of the formation cut by the d r i l l

b i t and discharged i n t o the water on a continuous basis during active

d r i l l i n g . The larger c u t t i n g s t*?ud to move d i r e c t l y towards the bottom

where they w i l l usually accumulate i n p i l e s . The depth of the water over

Blocks 411 and 412 (over 1,000 feet ) i s l i k e l y to preclude any mounds

of c u t t i n g s developing on the seafloor adjacent to the d r i l l s i t e s . When

mounds do develop, im-obile benthic fauna trapped beneath i s smothered.

No such impact i s expected i n he pro j e c t are...

Large-scale discharge of d r i l l i n g mud occurs on an average of 6-10

times during the d r i l l i n g of a p a r t i c u l a r w o l l . Also, as the cu t t i n g s arc

discharged, some mud w i l l be entrained on them and w i l l warh free as the

cuttings d r i f t towards the bottom. The clay p a r t i c l e s i n the d r i l l i n g f l u i d

tend to f l o c c u l a t e on contact w i t h s a l t water, and along w i t h the f i n e r

c u t t i n g s , form a t u r b i d plume down-cuirent from the r i g . When a large-scale

discharge of mud occurs, t h i s plume may reach down-, rre.it to a distance

of as . ch as 3,200 feet before i t i s completely d i l u t e d . The t o x i c i t y of

these p a r t i c l e s and the d r i l l i n g cud components Is very s l i g h t and there
