As in each year near the start of spring, the New Orleans Engineer District has sent a notice to landowners, residents and leaseholders within Mississippi River floodways in Louisiana, reminding them of risks present should the Corps activate floodways in response to high water."The notice serves as a reminder to those that live, operate and/or do business within these floodways that there is a risk that they may experience flooding if the floodways are activated," the notice, dated March 20, stated.The reminder was sent to landowners, residents and lessees within the Bayou Des Glaises Loop, the Old River Control Structure project area, the West Atchafalaya Floodway and the Atchafa-laya Basin Floodway, along with landowners, trailer owners and lessee-operators within the Morganza Floodway."The annual notice reminds those with interests in these floodways that it is their responsibility to minimize environmental contamination and that all water and gas wells must be sealed and capped to prevent any contamination from floodwaters," the notice stated. |
