SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Proposed Action. It is the intent of the
Vicksburg District to prepare an SEIS for
the New Orleans to Venice (NOV)
Federal Hurricane Protection levee. The
NOV Federal Hurricane Protection
project straddles the Mississippi River
in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana,
between approximate River Miles 59
and 10. On the west bank, it includes 37
miles of back levee divided into four
reaches (Reaches A, B–1, B–2, and St.
Jude to City Price) and 34 miles of
enlarged west bank Mississippi River
levees. On the east bank, the project
includes 16 miles of enlarged back
levees (Reach C). This project is a
Federal system designed to provide
protection from hurricane tidal overflow
in the lower Mississippi River delta
region.
The purpose of the SEIS is to identify
and evaluate structural and
nonstructural storm damage reduction
alternatives to address hurricane-related
flooding problems in Plaquemines
Parish. Additional work is needed to
restore the Federal levees and
floodwalls to the authorized level of
protection where the levee and
floodwalls are below grade due to
subsidence and/or post-Katrina design
changes.
Alternatives. Alternatives to address
flooding problems will be identified and
evaluated in cooperation with state and
Federal agencies, local government, and
the public.
Scoping. Scoping is the process for
determining the range of the alternatives
and significant issues to be addressed in
the SEIS. A part of this analysis will
include a letter sent to all parties
believed to have an interest in the
analysis, requesting their input on
alternatives and issues to be evaluated.
The letter will also notify interested
parties of public scoping meetings that
are being held in the local area. A
meeting notice will be sent to the local
news media. All interested parties are
invited to comment at this time, and
anyone interested in the study should
request to be included on the mailing
list.
Two public scoping meetings will be
held on Saturday, September 12, 2009:
one meeting will be held at the
Woodland Plantation, 21997 Highway
23, West Point a La Hache, Louisiana,
