NLLD Assists with Mitigation for Morganza to the Gulf Levee System

The NLLD has joined the Terrebonne Levee & Conservation District (TLCD) and South Lafourche Levee District (SLLD) in a regional effort to complete the eastern-most reaches (K & L) of the Morganza to the Gulf Project.  Reaches K and L stretch from Pointe-Aux-Chenes into the SLLD near Cut Off. 
 


NLLD's deep water marsh buggy (pictured above) is working in cooperation with the SLLD to assist TLCD's buggy with terracing work to satisfy the mitigation requirements for this extension of the Morganza levee system. 


Lockport to Larose Reach D2 Project Moving Ahead of Schedule

The Lockport to Larose Reach D2 Project includes major levee maintenance and the re-sectioning of the levees from the Larose Pump Station on the GIWW heading west parallel to Bayou Lafourche toward Valentine for approximately 1.05 miles.



Womack & Sons Construction Group, Inc. is ahead of schedule on the project,  with 73% of the construction complete. The cost of the project is being shared by the NLLD and the LA Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority.
