Thunder,
Is New Orleans considered a wetland?

"The Army Corps' regulatory authority is contained within §404 of the
CWA. Army Corps jurisdiction is over "waters of the United States" which
is defined at 33 Code of Federal Regulations 328.3 as (1) all navigable
waters and their tributaries; (2) all interstate waters and their
tributaries; (3) all other waters, the use, degradation, or destruction of
which could affect interstate commerce; (4) all water impoundments; (5)
territorial seas; and (6) wetland adjacent to waters identified above."
