JUSTIFICATION: The 10"lands In the 1.ake Pontchanrain tidal basin are suoject to tidal overflow. The Greater Ne" Or leans Het ro po lit 8n a rea "'hich He. In this basin .,ill cont ioue it. ra pld eCo nomic development 1n the fut ure yeats even though .eVHe damages h.ve resulted from several hurricanes in the ""st years . Hurrlcan. damages result from Burge. entering Lake Pontcharerain from Lake Borgoe through n.tural tld.l ""sse. at the Rigolet. and Chef Hentour Pass and the Inner Harbor Navigation ,C.nal. The surgos are intensified by local wind effect. and t he combination of waves and .urg~s causing oVertopping of the protective work. along the shore. of Lake Pontchartra!n. rhe eastern port 10n of the area is aloo subject to flooding by surges and ""ves that move direct ly from Lake Sorgoe and overtop the existing inadequate protective syst"'" s •• .,ard of the developed land area.. As a re.ult, rUidenee. and indust rial and commercial establiShments suffer damage, business act ivitles are disrupted, lives endangered, and h ... rds to health created . Hu rricane. much more .evere t han any of record are possibLe. In the eVent of the occurrence of such a .evore hur rica ne, cat ast roph Ie prope rt y damage and 106. of homan Ii f. ,""u ld be ex per ienced. 1.ocal interests have requested protection against these threats to life and property. The Lake Pontcharetain hurricane protect lon project will provide the nece.sary "rotect lon. The Hi •• h.lppi RivH-Gult Outlet vIa the Inner Harbor NaVigation Canol provide. a direct tidal route from t he Gulf of Hexico to Lake Pont chattrain. Consistent "ltl\ the rationale that lake levels can be co ntrolled by limiting tid.l inflo., to the lake , a lock and control .tructure complex 18 to b. constructed at the junction of the I nner Harbor Navigation .Canal and Lake Pontehartr.i" at Seabrook. The complex .. 111 provide for flood cont r Ol, salinity control , and navigation. The co.t of the Seabrook Complex Is allocated 50 percent to the hurricane proteeelon project and 50 percent t o the Mhsis'lppi Riv@[-Gulf Outlet proJect. Hurricane '"Betsy,·' in September 1965 , caused exten.lve damage and nOoding of urban area. of the New Orleans area to depths of up to 10 feet. lIunic.ne ··Camille '· occOl:red In the project are. In August 1969 and flooded areas along the Inner Harbor Navigation ,Canal. Rxtenaive flooding and overtopping of levees would have occurred in the pro ject an!:i:1 in September 1974 tf hu.rricane: ':Carmen" had cont Inued on its predicted cour-s@.
