The LA CPRA coastal master plan, combined with army corps of engineers studies on further improving the post-Katrina levees. I'm trying to find the levee recommendations, but Biden's takeover seems to have broken all my bookmarks in the ACOE website. Basically it's just the ipcc/ epa most-likely-worse case scenario with some local adjustments, combined with CPRA's master plan for surge reduction and (non-nola) coastal protection and barrier island rebuilding, combined with the Corps' recommended levee improvements. You end up with lessened storm surges and raised levees that can match sea-level rise to whatever hight is feasible for the look levees, and back-out the years from the projected rate of sea level rise. And if they do the wall across the Orleans land bridge (preventing storm surge at the Rigolets and chef's pass), it's actually a much higher number. But that plan is on the back burner for now. |
