Not sure, but it's sure to be a dirty job.

Same way all the coastal erosion projects obtain dirt. Dredge material. They want to dredge to get deeper water boat access anyway. Win Win.

They have 120K acres

For comparison Toledo Bend is 180k acres

I think we can let them dig out a spot or two for dirt

Most of the base will be below the surface.

The boring machine’s debris will be used as needed.

This is why NOLA is getting a free Elon Tunnel.

It’s been stockpiles for the loop around Baton Rouge, and a new bridge that’s never coming, so they’ll just use that.
