re: NOLA: Never stop being NOLA: Storm drains paved over

The administration isn’t sure at this point whether the corps or the city is on the hook to clear the drains. Interim Public Works Director Dani Galloway said she is looking for any documentation that her predecessor, Mark Jernigan, had signed off on the street work done by the corps’ contractors. If she finds it, then it becomes the city’s responsibility to fix the drains under its arrangement with the corps over SELA, she said.

If the city never approved the completed work, then the corps would have to fix them, Galloway said. She described several examples of blocked drains discovered on South Claiborne that the corps must fix before the city approves the end of that project.
