In 2005, the San Juan Parish (US) Commission on Natural Resources, which owns and runs the shoalwater bay, granted a request to build several shallowly dredged levees to prevent the creation of further tidal flooding, but only on an emergency basis. The levees, originally designed to hold a 10 foot high sea wall, have been widened to accommodate up to 50 feet of shoreline (see figure 1). The Commission rejected a request by the Louisiana State Park Commission to divert the bay to the bay of Ascension Parish. Despite this rejection, in 2006 the Commissioners again granted a second request to construct two levees to keep tidal flooding from destroying the bay (see figure 2). In 2007, at a time when Louisiana's population of approximately 10.2 million was surging and population projections continued to grow, the Board of Supervisors approved two additional shallow levees in Shoalwater Bay, on both sides of the Louisiana River, to protect levees, shorelines, and property interests. The bay of Shoalwater Bay would have been flooded by the planned expansion, while the bay on the US side would be protected. The first levee, which is approximately 300 feet across, was established at 8:15 AM on July 30, 2008. The second levee, built on July 21, 2007, was approximately 900 feet wide.
Because the Shoalwater Bay and Louisiana Bay of the St. Landry-Bossier region have unique geographic circumstances, the Louisiana Coastal Commission (LCC) (a local public utility system) has developed a detailed map of the three levees. The project also includes additional detailed information about the proposed developments, including a section on proposed easements and locations. The Louisiana LCC provides assistance with site preparation for the two shallow levees and with the land owners, developers, and their representatives and witnesses of the levee work, including public meetings, community planning meetings, and community outreach.
To the best of my knowledge, the Louisiana LCC has not released the final report that it prepared for the LCC. For public comments, contact:
