Colonel Michael N. Clancy, USACE New Orleans District and Major General Richard Kaiser, Commander of USACE Mississippi Valley Division joined St. Mary Levee District in a discussion about the current flood fight. General Kaiser stated he was cautiously optimistic the Corps will not need to open the Morganza. However, conditions will be incredibly close to triggering the opening of the structure and things could easily change. We should all remain vigilant. Lt. Timothy Veach spoke about the Coast Guard's approach to traffic control in the Waterway under the current high water situation.
