My problem with the project has always been the cost. 3 billion is a lot of coin for what amounts to a break even project. On the other side of the river, Mardi Pass and Neptune Pass are running free. Now the corps wants to contain one of them with rocks for 20 million.
I know utility and road relocation are not cheap, but 3 billion for a cement lined channel and a glorified culvert/pump station in the levee are way too much. Then you allocated 500 million for fisheries relief that may never come to pass.
A smaller project to help stabilize fresh water and terraces along the coast would work better and maybe even a sediment pipeline to dump sand and other sediment in selected areas by the terraces to build land.

No.
We will never stop fricking with nature- because our very existence is dependent on fricking with nature.

Just wait until he finds out that they are rehabbing the Old River Low Sill Structure in the next low water season

One day we will see them have to build another Auxiliary structure, too.
I was up there this weekend. The river is making an arse out of itself again. It's high!

The preacher man says it's the end of time,
And the Mississippi River she's a-goin' dry....
