Summary

SOUTHEAST LOUISIANA FLOOD PROTECTION AUTHORITY-WEST

• LA R.S. 38:101.C requires that, “Upon completion of the construction of the

hurricane protection projects, the responsibility for maintenance and

• peration of the hurricane protection system shall be assumed by the West

Jefferson Levee District, the Orleans Levee District (Algiers Levee District), Plaquemines Parish, and the Lafourche Basin Levee District, respectively for those portions of the system within each of the parishes.”

• State of Louisiana is not responsible for Operation and Maintenance of the

system.

• The system needs to be maintained to provide the 100 year level of flood

protection and to maintain certification required in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) in order to provide Jefferson Parish affordable flood insurance rates.

• Additional millage would equate to less than $4 per month for the average

value of a home on the Westbank (Average home value on Westbank is $175k).
