Levee Official: Corps of Engineers Did Not Consider Parish Levees on Inundation Maps
May 12, 2011 In a statement issued by North Lafourche Conservation, Levee and Drainage District Executive Director Dwayne Bourgeois, he reveals that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers did not consider the parish's levees when they produced the inundation map released last week.
