Some of the money that the contractor could be owed could be nullified by the fact that the contractor did not apply for the necessary parish permits
They didn't apply for Parish permits because the State told them that they didn't have to. DNR, CPRA, USACE, other federal agencies all signed off on the diversion, which is on State, not Parish land in any case. The whole permit/NFIP thing is just a pretext that Landry, Dove, et al, are trying to now use as an excuse to save themselves from getting the blame for shutting the project down. The State will look moronic if they take that line when the contractor sues over it.

This is why I'm addicted to this board. Yes, many of us should probably be put in padded rooms, but it seems there's also always a good change one or two posters who chime in could have real knowledge, even directly, with an issue of interest at topic.

Another false statement. The Parish owns the levees & canals while the State owns the land inside of the levees.

Genuine question- Do you know this for fact? Usually, you have to obtain USACE permit and LONO from applicable federal agencies to get permits from state. Once you get Federal and State permits then you get the rubber stamped parish permit.
You typically get the higher level permit then work your way to local permits because no one wants to have a permit they issue revoked when a higher level authority says no.
If this is true then I'm assuming it's because this is a regional project that will affect multiple parishes in the State's master plan.
ETA it's been 15 years since I was involved with Coastal related projects/permits so the process may have changed.
