| Abstract: | The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Mississippi Valley Division, New Orleans District, has prepared this Individual Environmental Report # 27 (IER # 27) to evaluate the potential impacts associated with the proposed remediation of the canal walls on the 17th Street, Orleans Avenue, and London Avenue Outfall Canals. The proposed action is located in the New Orleans metropolitan area of Jefferson and Orleans Parishes. The 17th Street Outfall Canal is a man-made canal approximately 2.4 miles in length, and approximately 200 feet wide, paralleled by levees with floodwalls on both sides. The canal is oriented in a north/south direction between Lake Pontchartrain and Interstate 10. The Orleans Avenue Outfall Canal is a man-made canal approximately 2.6 miles in length, with average bottom and top widths of 100 feet to 160 feet, paralleled by levee on the entire east side, by floodwall on the west side between the pumping station and Robert E. Lee Boulevard, and by a levee on the west side near the lake. The canal is oriented in a north/south direction between Lake Pontchartrain and Interstate 10. The London Avenue Outfall Canal is a man-made canal approximately 4.0 miles in length, with average bottom and top widths of 100 feet to 160 feet, respectively. Pumping Station No. 3 lies at the head of the canal near Broad Street. Pumping Station No. 4 is near Prentiss Avenue. The canal is paralleled by earthen levees topped with floodwalls or floodwalls alone from Pumping Station No. 3 to Leon C. Simon Boulevard on the east and to Robert E. Lee Boulevard on the west. From these two boulevards to Lakeshore Drive, there is an earthen levee on both sides of the canal. |
