Duncan Point is just south of Baton Rouge--downstream from LSU. Last flood ACE had to send in and place 122,000 sandbags to help form a berm to protect the area. There is a 300 foot aquifer underneath the levee which allows the area to incur massive seepage issues. The USACE has placed this entire area in its highest category of risk for a likely levee failure. Brightside to Gardere to BREC Farr Park area. It would have flooded all areas of Baton Rouge not on the natural ridge.
