摘要：	Several Louisiana coastal communities west of the Mississippi River are one step closer to significant storm protection following Lt. Gen. Scott Spell-man's January 28 signing of the Chief's Report for the Upper Barataria Basin Feasibility Study and Environmental Impact Statement. The report sets forth a tentatively selected plan to build a flood protec- tion system about 30 miles in length, stretching from Luling to near Race-land. Total cost for the system will be about $514 million. The plan calls for about 18.3 miles of new levees or flood-wall and the improvement of 12.3 miles of existing levees. Standing at a minimum elevation of 14 feet, the system will protect against a "100-year storm," or a storm that has a 1 percent chance of impacting the area in any given year. Besides the levee and floodwall components, the system will also include a "barge gate" across Bayou Des Alle-mands. Much of the system will parallel Highway 90 and connect with the Mississippi River levee system at Luling.
