� Port has enjoyed decades of great working relationships with Orleans Levee District, USACE, and recently Southeast Flood Protection Authority
� Port owns much of the property under and adjacent to floodwalls and levees in the New Orleans area
� Previous agreements between agencies were general, but worked well until Hurricane Katrina
� Post-Katrina, USACE requested emergency access to Port property to improve the levees in the France Road area� Result: Undocumented locations of floodwall and levee areas� Inconsistent servitude widths have been established over time ,
ranging from 30’ – 62’ from the toe of levee, encumbering Port of New Orleans property from potential development/use
� Becomes a challenge for maintenance responsiblity

� In an effort to induce further maritime economic development, the Port’s Board has considered sales or transfers of its land.
� Lack of recorded, documented floodwall and levee servitudes is delaying some projects, as:o floodwalls and levees, and their servitude boundaries,
must be clarified for: � Surveys
� Appraisals
� Purchaser’s title insurance
� Uses allowed within servitude
� Maintenance responsibilities
� Access
� Previous/Existing improvements allowed/disallowed
