re: Judge orders Iberville to stop deployment of AquaDams along Manchac Road

What i mean is a retention pond in the sense of what those stupid pointless subdivision ponds are. People somehow think that a lake/pond/swamp is some kind of infinite volume reservoir.
It needs to go to manchac and Manchac needs to not get backed up for miles.
But the reality is (with a few exceptions) nobody should have ever built anything on the downhill side of bluff/highland, which is all floodplain. We can either blow all of that shite up and let the water do its thing like the old days, or pump it to the river.

The road has been there over a century now per old topo maps from 1921. The people at risk for flooding in EBR built way after that.
It doesn’t matter, the road is an unnatural barrier which blocks the natural flow.
Putting the Aqua damn now just compounds the issue.
Btw, was the road at its current elevation in 1921? I’ve driven that road and it is a levee of sorts. The bayou that goes under the road is blocked now right? Was it blocked in 1921?
Also it’s a disgrace how EBR and it’s neighbors have allowed Manchac to become overgrown, how landowners have installed culverts or pipes for their driveways over the bayou and how this waterway has become trashed from Alligator Bayou west. It’s criminal.

That's debatable. I understand doing what in the best interest of the parish, which I am apart of (but this situation doesn't have any impact on me since its on the east side of the parish), but he doesn't think beyond the parish, which does him not favors if he ever needs favors outside the parish.
I just don't agree with the "we will do whatever we have to do, I don't care how much it impacts you". Ideally, they would all get together and try to figure this out so this would not continue to be a problem.

Only question is who allies with who in the great AP/LP war.

I don't think we want to say that an organization like a parish government can't erect temporary barriers to route water.
Nothing is stopping other parishes from erecting their own barriers.
If all the involved parishes want to cooperate instead of having an arms race of creekside Jupiter Jumps, well, that's great, but it's up to them and their constituencies.

Some of them will have to be removed. But a couple of canals with a pump to move water into the Mississippi would be ideal if the region can agree to development restrictions in the lake/swap area.
That’s not cheap though. But it’s probably necessary as the region grows.

Yeah because he has never pearl habored anyone. He doesn't like when the tables turn.
Like I said, I understand he is protecting his people and I know people who would be flooded if he didn't but its the way he handles things. Overall, it would be best if he would work with the leaders of other parishes so this problem can get fixed..
Its just not a good idea to burn bridges with parishes that border yours.

We don’t say it. State law does.

Nobody is burning a bridge. Broome sues Iberville after every storm.
The IP Parish President does what he had to do to protect his constituents. To say a judge from EBR has jurisdiction over this matter is laughable. To the jackass that said JDCs have general jurisdiction, go forum shop in caddo parish or Orleans parish on this topic and see how that works out for you. Yeah it’s a little different since it’s a neighboring parish but the matter should be held in IP not EBR and the attorneys filing that shite knew better.
If they wanted the judgement to have teeth, they needed to file it in the right court. I guess you get what you pay for with those EBR Parish attorneys.
So what houses will be affected in EBR? If it’s ones near Bayou fountain, those houses were built within the swamp and built up out of the swamp. Both UClub and CCL were built next to Bayou Manchac. They sit where this water would naturally drain. Shame on EBR planning commission. They took the shortcut and now they are being called on it.

Who in the frick unbanned you?

I probably score near your score but we are on the same page here. The people bitching in this thread are the ones who live in EBR swamp land that was made into a neighborhood. That was where the natural runoff of water would sit before it drained into Spanish Lakes.
They should ask their planning and zoning why they are at risk for flooding and not sue their neighbor because they don’t like how the neighbor protect themselves against the reckless actions of their planning and zoning commission.

Fine. Then each time the aqua dams are up, I say EBR puts up our own at the parish line across Nicholson. AP and Iberville can have fun with that.

quote:Based on how my neighborhood floods since a new subdivision was built behind me, I totally agree on the poor planning by EBR, as well as some of the engineering firms who think their drainage designs are above reproach.
What he's doing is stopping the reckless development and poor planning of two other parishes from affecting his own.
But I also agree it’s rather silly to “save” a few $100K homes while flooding entire neighborhoods in EBR.

So you’re saying to retaliate by impeding a main hwy used by over 20,000 vehicles a day. I’m glad you’re just a house mom.

Are you referring to this test I just took?
You understand that's not a real Stanford-Binet test, correct?
