From: http://ceres.ca.gov/wetlands/agencies/army_corps.html That is regulatory authority. Where does it say they have to build all the levees. Here in the Sacramento River Delta, there are taxation districts for levee construction and maintenance. And the Sac is a very navigable waterway. |

Thunder,
I thought the question was "Is the Corp of Engineers responsible for all levees along the Mississippi." The only thing I can see in your answer that might apply to that question is that the C of E is responsible for "all water impoundments". My understand of "water impoundments" is that a levee might be considered a "water impoundment" if it is used as a dam (i.e. to preserve or create a wetland) but would not be considered a "water impoundment" if it was used to prevent the river from overflowing it's banks. So I still have not figured out if the C of E is responsible for all levees along the Mississippi, including the levees around NO. "thunder" wrote in message ...

I wonder if the Wetland Preservation Act will require that NO remains a
wetland. ; ) "Bill McKee" wrote in message ink.net... "Starbucks" wrote in message ... Thunder, Is New Orleans considered a wetland? They are now. |
