This book was released on 1987 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this supplement is to evaluate an environmentally preferable and less costly alternative to the barrier plan presented in the original FEIS. The project, authorized by Congress in 1962, would provide protection from hurricane induced tidal overflow to the developed area of lower Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana. The protection is to be achieved by increasing the height of existing levees and by modifying current drainage facilities. Construction began in 1966 and will be completed by 2013. The barrier feature alternatives would provide protection from easterly storms striking the developed areas of the parish between City Price and Venice. Five alternatives were initially considered and three plans, West-bank River Levee, East-bank Barrier Levee, and No-Action, were retained for evaluation. The West-bank River Levee would involve the enlargement of the existing Mississippi River and Tributaries levee to hurricane grade from City Price to Venice, Louisiana, and the East-bank Barrier Levee would consist of a barrier levee along the east bank of the Mississippi River from Bohemia, Louisiana, to Baptiste Collette Bayou. The No-Action plan would be synonymous with the future-without-project addresses the identified public concerns, makes a net positive contribution to the goal of National Economic Development, and reduces environmental consequences.

Michot and published by . This book was released on 1987 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presented are the findings and recommendations of the Fish and Wildlife Service relative to the New Orleans to Venice, Louisiana, Hurricane Protection Project (Reach C and the Barrier Feature). This project was authorized by the Flood Control Act of October 23, 1962, for the purpose of providing hurricane protection to the developed areas of Plaquemines Parish along the Mississippi River below New Orleans. This is to be accomplished via upgrading an existing back levee system and a segment of the Mississippi River levee. This report addresses the potential impacts associated with two of the five project features, i.e., Reach C and the Barrier Feature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hurricane protection systems that failed New Orleans when Katrina roared on shore in 2005 were the product of four decades of engineering hubris, excruciating delays, and social conflict. In Perilous Place, Powerful Storms, Craig E. Colten traces the protracted process of erecting massive structures designed to fend off tropical storms and examines how human actions and inactions left the system incomplete on the eve of its greatest challenge. Hurricane Betsy in 1965 provided the impetus for Congress to approve unprecedented hurricane protection for the New Orleans area. Army Engineers swiftly outlined a monumental barrier network that would not only safeguard the city at the time but also provide for substantial growth. Scheduled for completion in 1978, the project encountered a host of frustrating delays. From newly imposed environmental requirements to complex construction challenges, to funding battles, to disputes over proper structures, the buffer envisioned for southeast Louisiana remained incomplete forty years later as Hurricane Katrina bore down on the city. As Colten reveals, the very remedies intended to shield the city ultimately contributed immensely to the residents' vulnerability by encouraging sprawl into flood-prone territory that was already sinking within the ring of levees. Perilous Place, Powerful Storms illuminates the political, social, and engineering lessons of those who built a hurricane protection system that failed and serves as a warning for those guiding the recovery of post-Katrina New Orleans and Louisiana.
