Title
A resolution requesting the Lafourche Basin Levee District to utilize funding set aside pursuant to LA R.S. 38:334 to conduct soil boring investigations on the Sunset Drainage District levee in St. Charles Parish.
Body
WHEREAS,      the Sunset Drainage District (SDD) levee is an integral part of the West Bank Hurricane Protection Levee system in St. Charles Parish, as well as the Lafourche Basin Levee District's (LBLD) Hurricane Protection Plan alignment proposed to the Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority; and,
WHEREAS,      soil borings are needed to evaluate the structural integrity and design of the existing SDD levee and identify areas needing improvements and/or upgrades prior to the LBLD assuming operation and maintenance of the earthen levee portions; and,
WHEREAS,      the soil boring data is needed for potential certification of the SDD levee to FEMA in an effort to reduce future flood insurance premiums under the current remapping process; and,
WHEREAS,      the LBLD's engineer has reviewed proposals and selected a contractor to complete soil boring investigations on the SDD earthen levee portions and at all proposed T-wall locations included in the SDD portion of the alignment proposed in the LBLD's Hurricane Protection Plan; and,
WHEREAS,      St. Charles Parish desires for LBLD to proceed with said work.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, THAT WE, THE MEMBERS OF THE ST. CHARLES PARISH COUNCIL do hereby request the Lafourche Basin Levee District to conduct soil boring investigations on the Sunset Drainage District levee in St. Charles Parish.
