SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Proposed Action. It is the intent of the 

Vicksburg District to prepare an SEIS for 

the New Orleans to Venice (NOV) 

Federal Hurricane Protection levee. The 

NOV Federal Hurricane Protection 

project straddles the Mississippi River 

in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, 

between approximate River Miles 59 

and 10. On the west bank, it includes 37 

miles of back levee divided into four 

reaches (Reaches A, B–1, B–2, and St. 

Jude to City Price) and 34 miles of 

enlarged west bank Mississippi River 

levees. On the east bank, the project 

includes 16 miles of enlarged back 

levees (Reach C). This project is a 

Federal system designed to provide 

protection from hurricane tidal overflow 

in the lower Mississippi River delta 

region. 

The purpose of the SEIS is to identify 

and evaluate structural and 

nonstructural storm damage reduction 

alternatives to address hurricane-related 

flooding problems in Plaquemines 

Parish. Additional work is needed to 

restore the Federal levees and 

floodwalls to the authorized level of 

protection where the levee and 

floodwalls are below grade due to 

subsidence and/or post-Katrina design 

changes. 

Alternatives. Alternatives to address 

flooding problems will be identified and 

evaluated in cooperation with state and 

Federal agencies, local government, and 

the public. 

Scoping. Scoping is the process for 

determining the range of the alternatives 

and significant issues to be addressed in 

the SEIS. A part of this analysis will 

include a letter sent to all parties 

believed to have an interest in the 

analysis, requesting their input on 

alternatives and issues to be evaluated. 

The letter will also notify interested 

parties of public scoping meetings that 

are being held in the local area. A 

meeting notice will be sent to the local 

news media. All interested parties are 

invited to comment at this time, and 

anyone interested in the study should 

request to be included on the mailing 

list. 

Two public scoping meetings will be 

held on Saturday, September 12, 2009: 

one meeting will be held at the 

Woodland Plantation, 21997 Highway 

23, West Point a La Hache, Louisiana,
