re: WBRZ at 10, land behind the levee debate

My dad used to own 20 acre of land on the east bank of St Charles Parish. While he didn't have mineral rights, he did have batture rights and owned the land right up to the middle ot the river. He had a long term lease with a barge company to rent his batture. Didn't bring in too much dollars though.
The land was divided way, way before there were levees and the USCoE only took land needed for the levees.

USACE doesnt "own" the land the levee sits on (usually). they have servitude on a private piece of property.

He may own to the "ordinary (mean) low water line." The State of Louisiana owns the bed of the Mississippi River (and the bed of all other rivers that were deemed navigable in 1812) from mean low water line to mean low water line.

I assure you that you do not own any part of the Mississippi River
